Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

We're big tough, manly ('scuse Marie) wargamers. We know our knobkerries from our assegais and can spot a badly painted waffenfarbe at 10 paces. (Used to be 30, but me eyes have gone a bit.) We cheerfully attack Alexander and all his Companions with a handful of scythed chariots; we stand solidly in square against oncoming Cuirassier; we hurl (at a rather sedate pace) our Matildas against a line of 88mm guns with our heads sticking out the turret, a silk scarf blowing in the wind and a merry quip on our lips.

We are the glace cherries in the Pendraken fruit cocktail; the wildebeest in the Pendraken Safari Park; the black crisp in the Pendraken ready salted. With acrylic or enamel; PVA or epoxy; green stuff or Plasticine we are the War-gamers who command thousands; historians who know the bore of a Brown Bess; modellers who risk permanent eye strain and an eerie faraway stare (see photos of Techno) to gather together a collection of metal figures that honours the fighting man of old.  

We are the Pendraken Forum.

NONE of us drink Blue Bols.
 

Bet you a Mats bar someone does...

why do we have to know about FSN's Knob?

In that case I resign.

I can stand the company of those who wargame the League of Bloody Ausberg; I can patronise Fantasy gamers and I have myself dabbled in other scales (but I didn't inhale).  I can admit that some tattoos can be mildly attractive; admit that Aztecs may not be for me, but they're fine if you want, and hold reasonable discourse with a man who thinks an MG42 is better than a Vickers gun (in fact he's right). I can sympathise with lager drinkers, have a friendly conversation with those who think that Bourbon is a drink and not metal polish, and I can even restrain myself from muttering insults at wine buffs.  

But I draw the line at Blue Bols!  

Next thing is there will be, and I'm sorry that I have to say this, but nipples in the Top Totty thread, people will ask sensible questions and the thread will not degenerate within two pages, and people will be nice to me.

This is the thin edge of the wedge!

Never happen.

Bar-steward, knock the top off that blue stuff over there, will you?

Hi everyone...what did I miss?

Um, I have to agree with FSN about the Blue Bols.

I'm sorry.  I'm so sorry...

Who on Earth is 'Rappa Smurf' ?
One of these alternative (so called) musicians I've never heard of.


Oh sorry.....You're sadly right fsn.....My eyes haven't started focusing properly yet.
Cheers -

Blue Bols! Are you mad? That's bloody paraffin - put that fag out!

Eh...what?

Whilst lighting huge Havanna cigar

SEE, I told you, he has got a talent.

Bad one for a Welshman, don't they spend most of their time underground hacking coal, and singing load and FLAT.
