Yes, indeed - any rumours of my demise are exaggerated. Sorry 'bout that ;)
We've moved house - crazy, crazy stuff - got confirmation of completion with 2 days notice so it was totally manic...vastly overrated experience if you ask me.
Anyway, it means that we're now living in the middle of nowhere - in a holiday cottage on Exmoor, which is beautiful but it does mean that I have no landline, mobile signal or internet which is leaving me disconnected. It was great for the first week (last week) but this week I've been twitching a bit...and work is bonkers at the moment so I haven't even been able to get on here courtesy of my employers.
So - expect sporadic posting from me for the next 2-3 months...and try to behave, natch. :D

And very glad I am to hear it too! Thought the Totty thread had been somewhat neglected of late :D
Take care of yourself buddy and see you 'back in the bin*' very soon.

And Dunster was the centre of the known universe? :D
Good to hear everything got sorted out OK! We'll hold the fort until you get some interwebs sorted, I'll do some Totty research tonight.
Actually, I've just Google'd 'Naked on the Moors' and it didn't come back with anything... useful, shall we say...
:(
Nice to see you back Mr Harwood.
The big news is that there's still no Centurion, but I think Pendraken could be described as "dilated".
Welcome back Nik !
Hope things get back on a much more even keel asap.
Cheers - Phil.
Hi Nik
Glad the move went ok. Think of all the painting you can do without the distraction of the forum. Thats with a roller and bucket of emulsion though ;D
Mark
Nik - a-ah - painter of the universe
Flash - a-ah - he'll paint every one of us
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Nik - a-ah - he's a miracle
Nik - a-ah - king of a bit of Somerset
Paints faster than everyone of us
Paintes better than everyone of us
He'll buy a lot of figures
Every man, every cannon
Every horse – painted in a flash
Nik - a-ah
Nik - a-ah - he'll save everyone of us
Just a man
With a lot of 10 mil
He knows nothing but the lead
But he can never stop
Has a 15 – nought brush
for all their eyes
Oh oh - oh oh
Nik
Very good ! ;D ;D
Don't think he's likely to be back this weekend.
Sounds like the weather's going to be as awful for him as it's destined to be here.....Lovely. :( :( :( :(
Cheers - Phil
Like it lots :D
Just grabbing some internet whilst the kids play in one of those mad places with slides etc...so particularly appropriate to be feeding the Totty thread from here...
Phil's right though - major storm on way which will cause chaos on higher ground (like the top of Exmoor where I am) & probably take the present Mrs H out of action for the next 48 hours as she'll be coordinating the response from Highways gangs & tree chaps clearing the debris etc.
So, I see a few drinks, some DVDs and some painting...not got any 10mm prepped at the moment that aren't in storage, but those 28mm WW2 might get some paint lobbed at them later 8)
Welcome back :D
Good luck Nik !
Just preparing to batten down the hatches here.
Hopefully it won't be half as bad as the media are suggesting...But you never know, do you ? :-SS :-SS
Cheers - Phil.
Still only forecasting 25mph here, although the wind is picking up. Meant to peak in the early hours of the morning.
Appears as though the real 'poop' is going to be South of us now.....Whereas before, we were supposed to be bang in the middle of it.
Fingers crossed...and good luck to those that get the worst.
Cheers - Phil.
Stay safe chaps.
Wear a condom when painting?
Is my brushwork that bad?
Compared what we've had here over the last 10 days or so...last night could only described as mildly unpleasant.
It rained...But no-where near as much as it often does.....And I didn't hear the wind howling once. (Believe me....you DO hear it when it does !)
Haven't checked outside yet...But I'd be surprised if there were even any very small branches down.
From what I've heard on the news this morning the awful stuff was (and is) well South and looping around us.
Hope Nik's OK....and it sounds as though Ray's getting a bit of a battering at the moment...
Good luck to them...and to everyone else in the firing line.
Take care. Cheers - Phil.
Yep, nothing really here other than a spell of torrential rain and strong, gusting winds for around 15 minutes at 5.00am. Had far worse normal storms than the supposed 10 year storm of last night.
Good to hear all is well. Here in the North West I was more disturbed by the Cat yowling at 3am than I was by any eatherrelated phenomonon.
However, this did involve some clearing up in the morning, as he yowled until he puked. >:( again. >:(

Just a bit blowey in south east Bedfordshire around Aylesbury, with a bit or rain in the wind.
Erm,
I'm in leighton Buzzard, that's south West beds, that's about how far Beds gets, throw a stone here and yu hit Bucks!
Aylesbury vale is Bucks. Think you might mean se Bucks?
Yep - that was a bit of an anticlimax really...it was pretty blowy on Exmoor & pretty wet, but quite disappointing really.
Did have a couple of drinks & did some painting though ;)

Had to drive all around the houses this morning just to get the other half to a functioning tube-line so that she could get in to work. Some fairly frequent falls of timber around here. Railways used it as an excuse to stay in bed.
For Pete's sake, Nik, what are you doing all the way up there? There are pretty houses and there are comfortable houses but there are precious few comfortable pretty houses. If it's more than a ten minute walk to the nearest pub pull up the drawbridge - you're in the barbarian zone.

Afternoon, chaps :)
I've (finally) managed to establish a decent i'net connection here, so I'll try to catch up with all the forum shenanigans that I've missed in the last couple of months :(
We're still in our (lovely holiday) home while work progresses (tortuously slowly) on the farmhouse - it's getting there, but the more we knock about, the more we find needs doing...it'll be great once we're done though :)
Hope you all had a great festive period & are making progress on your 2014 to-do lists; I've only managed to paint a platoon each of 28mm WW2 Panzer Grenadiers & US Airborne, but am starting to plan this year's 10mm madness. Got to go do more work on the house this PM, but hopefully will catch up a few posts later - especially my favourite one...which I see has been taken in a different, larger, direction.... :-\ ;)
In other news, I'm also about to finish my current employment at the end of this month and am moving on to my next adventure - will keep you posted on that as well 8)
Welcome back Nik, you've been missed!

Welcome back Nik
Good to see ou back Nik, and a Happy New Year to you.
Does this mean the Totty thread will be firing on all cylinders again? ;)
Cheers,
Kev
Good to see you back online Nik.
Hope the house stuff continues to progress - I'm sure it will be worth it once you get in there.
Great to see you back Head-Prefect. ;) :)
Very best of luck with your new 'venture' Matey.
Cheers - Phil.
Nik who?
Old Saint Nik...Saint of Totty and speed painting ...His relics of burnt out kolinsky sable brushes are highly sought after
Welcome back Nik! And a happy new year ;)
Old Nik - the devil's in the detail.
Welcome back, mate. We've missed you. :-bd
Right then - I am now feeling completely fulfilled: I've caught up with my reading of every post that I've missed since moving house (27th September, with a 2 hour online spot in October) :)
I'm out now to limb a few trees that need sorting (rain & chainsaws in elevated positions = fun) so if I get a chance later, I'll make some long-awaited contributions to my favourite thread <)

As long as you've still got all your limbs... :D
Finally moving into the farmhouse tomorrow...so I'm going to be offline again for a bit - until I can get a satellite dish sorted for internet access (nearest phone exchange is 5+ miles away and 1100 feet lower so signal at the end of the copper line is rubbish...)
Behave yourselves - only highest quality postings please (especially in my favourite thread) while I'm away...
We'll try :ar!

Good luck with the move (and satellite dish of course :D).
LH - you'll be banned for photos like that :-& :-&
Nik, good look with the move, and the satellite broad band - we had it at work a number of years ago, and it was interesting - not great for browsing, but good for downloads.
Well, now then...after a heads-up from Techno, I find myself usurped by that disreputable fella Mad Lemmey as the second-highest-poster on this forum. I'll never live it down...
Anyway, thought a (very quick) update might be in order - still no home internet (long, long tale of line of sight, trees, Exmoor National Park Authority, relatives and other assorted contributing conspiring factors), and with work hectic, manic, all-encompassing (but brilliant, superb and fulfilling) I find my play-time has been seriously compromised, including, of course, my ability to post here :(
I was hoping for a quiet(isn) couple of hours this afternoon at work to catch up - but that hasn't happened & I'm on my way to another meeting in 5 mins...so I just thought I'd say a quick hi & hope to be back soon (even if it means staying even later at work in order to wade through the huge amount of unread posts and try to catch up with all things Pendraken).
On the gaming front, I've not thrown a die in anger for months - but at least all my stuff is now out of the storage unit. It's in a room with no ceiling that needs a new floor, a replacement window and some electric. But at least it's out of storage.
Oh - and the body count has adjusted slightly: still 3 kids, 2 dogs, 1 wife but we're down to 5 horse (poor Nala, she's missed - especially by Daisy, 11 :( ), but have acquired another couple of cats. And a few friendly deer.
Be good. And if you can't be good, be careful ;) ;D
Good to see you back Nik!
Sorry for the family loss. :(
Really sorry to hear about Nala, Nik.
Just been through the same thing here.
Cheers - Phil.
Sorry Phil. Not good. :,(
Sorry for your losses, both Nik & Phil
Good to hear from you Amigo, despite the your loss.
Good to hear from you again, Nik. With all your communication problems I would have thought you would have added carrier pigeons to your extended "family". ;)
A couple of new cats? Life can't be all bad, anyway. :)
Welcome back
We all know moving can throw your life upside down! Good luck!
Well, this lack of Internet at home is wearing thin now....I'm going to try to grab a 15 min lunch break at work to keep on top of forum madness...
We also lost another pony at the weekend - this was my eldest daughter's first one (Scuddy) who was with us for 12 years - he was 32 when his time came. Needless to say, having had him since she was 5, Tash is distraught. Goes with the territory though - and he's buried with Nala.
I suspect we'll get a replacement soon enough - apparently six horses is the requirement nowadays ;)
Sorry to hear that Nik. :(
That's a real b*gger.
As you say...It comes with the territory...But it never seems to get any easier, does it ?
Best wishes to Tash
Cheers - Phil.
Sorry for your loss once again. One reason we avoided pets (apart from my asthmas) is the emotional trauma the kids face.
Sorry Nik.
Welcome back, sorry to hear about the pony
Sorry to hear about that, my wife lost hers when he was 35 years old...not good at all :(
Welcome back Nik - (voices off - who was that masked man?).
Thanks all - much appreciated :)
Anyway - this is me, grabbing my lunch break (better late than never!)
I am so far behind, I am never going to catch up :(
Stupid countryside - lovely to live in, but a nightmare in the 21st century for those of us who like communicating beyond the hedgeline :D
Great to see you back again though, Nik. :)
I don't you WILL ever catch up now, Matey.
Cheers - Phil
Take 5 weeks off, and edit any FSN or FK posts, may make it possible.
IanS
Welcome back...briefly :D
Hi Nik!
Bye Nik? Hopefully not... ;)
May I summarise the last few months?
- There are more Centurions - AVRE and Bridgelayer on the way :D
- There's a new chap on the forum called Westmarcher - and he's frankly a bit odd :-$
- The LoA Dragoon combing horse tail has been delayed
- I entered the painting competition and was robbed because the judges were prejudiced in favour of people with more talent :-<
- Pendraken have got a rule set called Warband. It's not my thing, but it's got the Hobbit botherers excited.
- Techno has a new alter-ego of Matron
- I bought some Russian T35s from a company that wasn't Pendraken. I have apologised. :-[
- Still no Aztecs
I think that's all the
important things that have happened recently.
(I typed this slowly so you would be able to get it.)

I'm still here...sort of...working from home today & the internet-via-sharing-dodgy-mobile-phone-signal gods are smiling on me - have got enough speed to (almost) be able to function 'normally' :)
Good to see normal service is continuing properly (you mad beggars, you) ;) ;D
Takes one to know one old fiend! :d
Hi Nik
Distinct lack of Redheads on the Totty page though :'(
And in my bedroom. I'll have to face it, gentlemen, bigamy isn't enough. :(

You can if you use the right glue.
I've just had three Pendraken orders arrive at once. I may not go out for a few days. In fact, there are some Centurions, so I may not be able to go out for a few days.

Honestly.....I was being SO careful (I mistakenly thought) too. X_X
Cheers - A Muppet. :-[
Cats is cheaper
IanS
Cheaper ?
£3.99 for a snap trap, which doesn't need feeding, or taking to the vets.
It won't get splattered on the road.....You don't feel sad when it reaches the end of its 'life....It doesn't sharpen its claws on the furniture, or pee on/in electrical equipment.
......And it doesn't need a cat tray, when its too lazy to go outside.
Had more than enough cats to last this lifetime. ;)

A bit over a year ago rather more than my entire Christmas bonus went into medical treatment for a sick kitty. Traps are less cuddly, admittedly.

Used one, not that great. My father in law hooked one up to a car battery and that definitely did the trick but I
really wouldn't advise it.
There's a ghastly local rat-trap which literally glues them to a bit adhesive pad to starve to death. Without liking the creatures, that's not a fate I'd wish on an ISIS commander.

Morning all
A quick update from me based on Real Life...
I've now separated from my wife and am living back in Dunster (temporarily while I get something more permanent sorted); everything is fine and amicable and we're getting on better now than we have done in the last few years. The kids are cool too - they describe everything as 'peaceful' now which is coolio 8)
Daughter #1 is now 18, driving and off to Uni in September
Daughter #2 is now 13 going on 21
Son #1 is now 9, 10 in July
So a fair bit of turmoil and much sorting-out to do (especially of my wargames stuff - might well lead to a bit of selling / consolidation as I won't have the same amount of space available). I'm steadily adjusting to a pattern of having kids / not having kids and work remains as incessantly bonkers as ever.
On a more positive note, I've now got internet access again, and have negotiated the childcare rota so that I don't have them on a Tuesday night when the Minehead crew meet - so I'm getting some gaming in. Every cloud & all that...
:)
Hang in there, brother.
Really sorry to hear that, Nik. :(
Glad to hear it's amicable.....That's something, at least.
I echo Kitty's words.
Best wishes - Phil
That's not so good. I went through the same thing in the very late nineties also with three smalls which I had mutually agreed custody over. Three years later I got married again...to the very same lady. We get on so much better second time around.
Oh dear, hope it all pans out better for everyone there then :(
Hope everything settles down for you.
Been there Nik. Hope it all pans out the best it possibly can.
Decade on, I'm on my own but with lots of friends and never been more content with life. Still not divorced (each have better things to do with our limited resources) but never getting back together. The boys are doing well and love both their parents - well most of the time anyway :)
May your life turn out as well, or better!
Oh Nik,
Sorry mate. Hugs
Really sorry to hear about this but glad that it's been amicable and that the kids are ok with it. All the best for the future.
I've been there too, Nik.
Glad you had the will to post, this tell us you're getting OK.
Take care, and have good games !
All the best, glad things are amicable.
Been there, great to hear it is amicable and the kids are cool with it
Good that you are finding the silver linings
I also echo FK words, even if I find agreeing with Kitty a bit worrying ;)
Hey Nik,
Good to hear from you again. Sorry to hear about the circumstances. But it sounds it is going as well as it could be.
Best of luck matey.
Forbes
Good luck Nik!
That sucks. At least you may now be able to pop to the Antepodes for a game or two :)

So, you're in agreement that agreeing with other is worrying?
Yet more agreement.
Is that worrying?
Nah, I worry about agreeing with myself. I'm sure your views are a model of sanity and moderation, and I'm proud to agree with them.
I argue with myself all the time....Trying to see both sides of almost anything.
Cheers - Phil.
Thanks all - it's appreciated; never thought I'd get here, but here I am.
So we'll crack on, eh? 8)
Time for me to pay attention to some live threads then...
Sorry to hear that Nik.
I am glad its amiable , that's better all round
Having been through a very antagonistic divorce (My ex not me. Her solicitor told mine "I have never had such an unreasonable and unrealistic client"). I hope that it remains so.
All the best

Normal service is resumed I note! ;)
What ho, forumites :)
So, suddenly it's February 2017 and I've been notable by my absence (again). Sorry 'bout that - hope you've all been (mis)behaving appropriately ;)
Anyway - I'm still knocking around - just *stupidly* busy with work and a hectic personal life which is awesome - but means that I'm dividing my time between West Somerset (when I have my kids 50% of the time) and Dorset (when I don't). Still getting the occasional game in with the Minehead crew and have been sporadically painting - just about to make a start on my Warband Undead (Tomb Kings) along with a load of 28mm stuff that's been taunting me for too long...
I'll *try* to catch up with everything that you've all been up to in the past few months in the next few days... 8)

Aloha all - just to say that I'm *hoping* to find a bit more time to reconnect with all you lovely people ;)
And I'm tempted to (shock, horror) to pay *stupid* Photobucket for the upgrade that they want so that all my ancient pics show up again... will think more on that.
In gaming-related news, just ordered some WW1 early war stuff just because (and I need to re-learn painting 10mm) and working on (finally #FFS) AWI lists.
In the void between here & my last forum activity, I've been distracted by life, work, love, kids, 28mm, 1/3000, 2mm, 3mm, D&D, Numenera / Cypher system, GW, Carnevale and other assorted nonsense. For which I'm not even slightly apologetic.
I hope you lot have been (mis)behaving yourselves to Leon's content :D
Good to see you back Nik :-h
No apology expected ;)
Beware the apostrophe in the title if replying

Thanks - and, yep, that confounded apostrophe was getting in the way of me replying ;) Sorted though - and now wading through a bazillion posts since I was last active (some mad OCD-type reaction just makes me want to get everything marked as 'read'. I know, I know....)
Welcome back mate!
WB nik or: The dude that got me into Pendraken (true story)
Welcome back, again, Nik !
(I'm NOT going to pay photobucket. ;))
Cheers - Phil...(Who didn't knock the apostrophe, first time........Derrrr.....Spot the brain cell. :-[)
Hey Nik!
Good to see you back round these parts again.
Have fun catching up with all the forum nonsense over however long it has been.

What's that? Nik Harwood's alive? Looks like that might be the case after all!
What I actually typed in an FFS* moment was
What's that? Nik Harwood's a lie? Looks like that might be the case after all!
Thus are internet rumours born :)
Harwood is alive, magic is afoot :D
