Salutations from this side of the pond.
I'm a Canadian "Colonial" who enjoys, along with other periods, Colonial wargaming, in particular the Zulu War.
My great-grand-dad was a veteran of the 1st Btn, 24th Foot so I have a personal interest. Back in 2006 I sculpted a Bell tent and Zulu Induna for Pendraken, which was a lot of fun.
The forum is super - a real feel of community about it.
I look forward to knowing you all a little better.
Cheers,
Rob

"All funny fellows, comic men, and clowns of private life
They'd none of them be missed
They'd none of them be missed !
And apologetic statesmen of the compromising kind,
Such as What-d'ye-call-him, Thing'embob, also Never-mind,
And 'St-st-st, and What's-his-name, and also You-know-who
The task of filling up the blanks I'd rather leave to you;
But it really don't matter whom you put upon the list,
For they'd none of them be missed
They'd none of them be missed!" - Gilbert & Sullivan "The Mikado" :)
"Arthur, Arthur What's-his-name,
Or Maggie...well, you know who..."
as I heard it done in the dark days of the 80s (with appropriate voice).
Hello Rob
Hi, Rob!
welcome Rob
Good one, Ithoriel!
Another G & S enthusiast! ;D
Now tho' you'd have said that head was dead,
(For its owner dead was he),
It stood on its neck with a smile well bred,
And bowed three times to me!
It was none of your impudent off-hand nods
But as humble as could be;
For it clearly knew the deference due
To a man of pedigree!
And it's oh, I vow, This deathly bow
Was a touching sight to see;
Though trunkless, yet it couldn't forget
The deference due to me! - Pooh Bah
Cheers,
Rob :D
This forum needs a "Like" button, Rob!

Imagine what FK would do with that!
Welcome to this global village, Rob. Remember, if it can be done it can be done in 10mm. (Hey, that almost makes sense). :D
Hmmmm. I might add a "dislike" button, and for that matter a "delete for illiteracy", a "Get the !#$%$ history right", a "not another tiresome racist/sexist joke", and a "Where the Huitzlipochtli are my Mexicans?" button.
Perhaps better not to concentrate too much power even in responsible hands like mine.
Hello Rob, from one new member to another.
Canadian - definitely too polite to survive around here.

Have I inadvertently shewn any aggro towards you? If so, please put it down to senility, not malice.
No problem, FK!
I'm not upset at all..... :'(
Really............. [-(
