Title: Strange facts from the forum
Post by: Orcs on 22 October 2013, 09:33:51 AM
While I obtain a lot of useful and relavant information on this forum, to say  nothing of the humour I also seem to have aquired a lot information that is completely irrelevant to wargaming, and some  I would probably rather not know.

Please feel free to add your own - THey must not be  wargame related.


Leon Plays the x box naked- (Why oh Why did he tell us this?)  :-&   X_X X_X X_X X_X
Leon is addicted to Coca cola :D
Leon is a Vampire and has clones.
Techo has loads of animals (actually there Mrs T's but Techno has to muck them out)
Nosher has a deep fear of Redheads  :-SS
Nik has an obsession with Totty and Redheads :-$  :-bd :d
FSN is has a noisy cat that sheds loads of hair ;D
Seb has a chinese wife who does not like lead figures to have too large a chest.
Hugh's wife has a direct line upstairs that has priority over a man of the cloth - Consequently Hugh has to be VERY good.  O:-)
The forum can drag any thread down to sewer level at the speed of light - assuming its not started in the sewer in the first place ;D ;D

So, facts gleaned from the forum

Nik Harwood has a phobia about human flesh and about ink but is trying graduated exposure therapy to overcome this - so far he can only tolerate images

fsn has a phobia about Centurion tanks and wouldn't have a model of one in the house

Leon is a modern Cthulu with a myriad of clowns to do all of the work while he plays x-Box naked

Nosher is a fine proponent of the Boy Scout's tag "Be Prepared!" - making ill-advised comments to ladies in the back of an ambulance to save the time involved in summoning one in the aftermath of making said ill-advised comments

And people say I have no idea what's going on ... I don't know!  =) =) ;D ;D

I think it is paramount that you state wheter FSN 'is' or 'has' forementioned cat... :-\

Cheers,
Rob

fsn's cat - it's like Schroedinger's Cat, the act of observation changes the state :-)

The Cat that currently resides with me is in fact a guest whilst my beloved daughter is studying in the USA. The cat is the noisiest, smelliest, sheddiest misuse of fu it has ever been my misfortune to come across.

The other night I was lying in the bath trying to catch up on my reading. I was engrossed in a book about Barbarossa, was was just getting into the uncovering of Brest (which is always my favourite part of any book) when I heard the Cat. "Miow, miow, miow. Miioooow." Petulant noise no 1.  Suddenly, at the side of the bath appears two paws and a little catty face that burped a loud "MIAOW" and an unsavoury fish breath into my face. Reacting instinctively, I splashed a small amount of water at my feline assailant and ejaculated the name of a well know Soviet latrine corporal "Fukov!".

The face disappeared, and I tracked the retreat of my nemesis by the grumbling "mioawmiowmiow". Then blessed silence. I flicked ahead a few pages, looking for the contribution of the mighty T-35, when suddenly I heard "tic". Then again "tic". A third time "tic". I just cottoned to the fact that the Cat was leaping at the light pull ...when the light went out and I was left in darkness.

And yet the cat still lives. :-\

My feeling is that your just jealous that the cat is cleverer and its style of revenge is better than you could have thought up

Possibly because fsn couldn't find the Cat in the dark :-)

It obviously did not like seeing you naked! :D

To be fair to Mrs T......I've still got a 'you don't have to muck out' card at the moment. :)
But apparently it's not valid at weekends. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
Cheers - Phil.

Since cats are reported to have 9 lives I guess a little bit of 'experimenting' before your daughter returns wouldn't hurt... :d

Cheers,

To contribute further to the "sewerage":

Leon plays XBox naked and is a self proclaimed Coke not Coffee man - I do not wish to elaborate.
Dave is said to love "pointy things" (Leon says) - I have witnessed his calm self and customer service (chatting while Leon works :P ) so I see Leon's claims a bit suspicious.
fsn has been reported to drool (or worse) at any Centurion that moves - he once was chased out of a Roman reenactment camp
Sebigboss79 is a German living in the UK, celebrating his personal success of "Sealion" only to be reprimanded by his british chinese born wife with a total disregard of metal in the shape of miniatures
Nosher is experienced enough to access Totty in the only place where either immediate compliance or, in case of physical rejection medical assistance, is possible. Chapeaux monsieur.
Nik manages to paint better than half of us WHILE being on the Totty Thread AND having Totty at the same time. He still refuses to teach these skills to interested individuals.

I am reminded of the alleged exchange between Air Traffic Control and a ex RAF BOAC pilot, who was having trouble navigating to correct path

Annoyed ATC "[callsign] Have you not been to Frankfurt before!"

Laid back pilot "Just the once. 1943. Didn't stop."
