If I'm known as anything, here....It'll probably be something like "Phil Milwr Tegan."

What no "Oik!"? 

Spent just under a year at the Coleg Llyfrgellwyr Cymru in Aberystwyth. As a Scot I was considered a foreign student for funding purposes!

I rapidly discovered that if I went into a shop and the locals switched to Welsh and pretended not to understand English that their knowledge of the language improved immensely when they discovered I was Scots not English.

Given the behaviour of some English fellow students it was hard not to sympathise sometimes.

What? Phil the Toy Boy?

I'd consider a move to Scotland or Wales these days just for the sake of the Uni costs for the wee one as/when/if she wants to go

Supposed to be Toy Soldier.....Or did I spell it wrong ? 

Cheers - Phil

Well you did put a vowel in it !

There's no "k" in Welsh either. So with no vowels and no "k", "oik" would come out as "   ". 

Allus thinked youse wuz vacant Nobby, you "   ".

He be pretty, but is he vacant?

Oh, so pretty.

It comes back on Google translate as "Phil soldier toy", bearing in mind Madonna had a belt with "Boy toy" on it, I think this subject is best left alone.

Tabletop Minions is a channel that looks at wider topics as well as specific wargames rulesets.



BTW: Ian at Forgotten Weapon has moved from the 20mm AT rifle, to a 37mm pom-pom and most recently the RPG. I think next, he'll be doing 4.7" naval guns! It's an arms race I tell you!

Aw! Battleground! With Ewar Woowar. There's also Edgehill and Chalons to see.

Such sedate, gentlemanly wargaming. To quote:

"I'm going to combine these battalions. Is it OK if I combine these battalions? I have the space."
"Yes. Why don't you combine those battalions?"

Nowadays, the answer would doubtless be:
"You can't combine battalions because "*flicks through rulebook* "rule 74b, page 16 clearly states that ..."

Lindy Beige strikes again!

 

Hmmmmm.

What on earth has he made some of those bits of kit, out of ? 

Cheers - Phil

Slightly too much hairy upper leg for my taste, but a cracking little vid. Not too bad to get on when you've practised!

Lindybeige is one of the better 'historical' YouTubers, with a more sensible approach to things like how torches illuminate dungeons and the like. He does some toy soldiers too on occasion.

He is... eccentric... and that's a very good thing!

I don't know about the rest of you, but his first try is way faster then me getting into my leisure clothes in the morning.

Stay in the dressing gown, it's the only way.
