You ARE NOT SUPPOSED to ENJOY you experience on here 

I can see judges handing down sentences: £120 fine and 500 forum posts

Not quite wargaming but has to do with model's
Germany 1988 ish one Saturday no threat of immediate invasion by Warsaw pact so did what any Squaddie would do into town for some BEERS!!! (substitute some beer for a lot)
on way from one pub to next found a model shop I "think " as woke up next morning with a completed 1/700th scale Tamiya Japanese Destroyer fully painted based on a sea base and Japanese writing on the hull no idea when or how I made it?

Was it in bed with you?

..... and I bet you don't even remember its name.

I once heard a story at the wargames club, where a member, who was former british army and stationed over in w.germany during the 80s, got himself into a bit of a pickle one weekend.
I can't remember all of the tale, but it did involve lots of german beer, a german lady of the night, a moped and trying to smuggle her out of the barracks early one morning.
I only wish I could remember the tale  

That's a great pair of tales!

Erm,  it counts but...why? 

Because we're nudists. The game happened for the usual reason wargames do.

Makes perfect sense then

I have been unfortunate to meet a few A-holes in our hobby, but it wasn't because it was a clothing optional session.

Met a few right James Blunts, too. [that's rhyming slang, look it up if needed]. Never met a female wargamer, though.

I'm married to one. Mind you, part of the reason why she married me could be that I don't use the female genitals as a term of abuse.

Probably why I'm still single then

Same here, if there is one word in the English language I can't abide it's the 'c' word. Haven't used it in anger for about 20 years, and that was only because some numpty on our Furniture Restoration Course decided to change the setting on the mechanical planer as my piece of wood was going through and I nearly lost a few digits in the ensuing mess.

Actually, I use it all the time. But in affectionate and amorous contexts, not as a misogynistic expletive or insult.

I have been given to understand that it's quite chummy in Spain, a bit like 'alright bo**o**s' in this country.

I've always thought using the female genitalia as a term of abuse was a bit odd. Given that most men (and not a few ladies) like to ... picks words carefully ... get close to aforesaid at every possible occasion, it's like saying "you kitten!" or "he was a right pint of lager"  or "he was behaving like a proper MDV5 Centurion Mk III".   

I did go through a patch of using it when I was doing a history course - but that was just a mis-spelling of King Cnut.

I'm using that from now on: "an utter Centurion!"
