Not wargaming but as there seems to be a 'Long Arm of the Law' theme emerging, I did get pulled over by a traffic copper in the middle of the Suffolk countryside in the wee small hours when conveying someone recently deceased in an unmarked coroners ambulance....
The traffic cop nearly had an aneuryism when my reply to his question about "What have you got in the back sir?" was "A dead body Officer..."  

( ... and to take us further off track) My pal told me that Greenock Cemetery and Crematorium is on Trip Advisor!  
5 stars! (well, 'circles'). No idea why that kind of establishment would be on Trip Advisor (perhaps you can get a good roast there?). Anyhoo, to swerve back in the general direction of this thread, one of the reviews stated,
"Glad to see a local charitable group have produced a guide map to help people find fascinating headstones. Well done. The gravestone with the dog and the chap killed in the american civil war are my favourites. But many more fascinating ones and great views up the top."
I'm intrigued. Next time I drive out to Greenock, if I go there (as a visitor, one hopes!), I'll try to remember to let you all know what the ACW connection is.

Roy, so you are that JindjarBoie !

I was running a FIW game at Exeter a couple of years ago

An old chap walked up to the table and we started talking. I asked him if he played this period. He replied that he had AWI armies. I then enquired as to what rules he used. He looked at me and said "Well ours of course". I was about to ask he meant when someone approached him and said "Excuse me Mr Barker, can I talk to you about DBA".

That is a cracking story

And you understood him. 

Any Ancients competition held at Derby World Championship in the 80's. It always seemed very surreal and weird

I was on the door with a mate at a Shrewsbury show.
In the early 90s
"Do you know who I am?"
My mate "Nope!"
"I'm Phil Barker!"
My mate "oh, okay, that will be £2 then."
"But I'm Phil Barker!"
My mate "and I don't care!"
Entrance fee was 50p!

Does the nude Zulu wars game I played with a visitor a few years ago count as weird? Especially since his girlfriend was circling taking photographs at table-level, and I'm sure making a feminist point about boys with toys in many of her shots?

Erm,  it counts but...why? 

There's an image that I'll have to shift as quickly as possible !

I mentioned to Wargames Illustrated that they should do a Nudist Gamers special - you could have been famous within the hobby!
