Got to earn a promotion somehow

I am now regretting volunteering to go and spray a load of thistles, in one of the fields.

I hadn't realised how huge an area they covered.

I'd better go and make a start and get it over with as soon as possible.....or I run out of the herbicide. 

Cheers - Phil (I'm going to stink of the weedkiller after I've done it !)

.....And I've got the taste of it, in my gob now.

Face mask ?.......For wimps !

(I got ticked off for being out there so long in the sun, as well....and what it's going to have done to my back. )

Cheers - Phil.

Get rid of the herbicide, get some Eeyores. They love thistles.

Herbie Hancock's better for the environment.


Anyway, on YouGov, you can see the political opinion, age and gender of those who like particular topics. If you ask about wargaming, they are predominantly male, politically neutral and .... very, very young.

This leads me to the obvious conclusion that not many forum members are also signed up to YouGov.

Its based on the evil empire I expect

There are times I think that there may be other ways ...


I certainly don't have the skill for this ...

Impressive but what do you do with them when you have made them... 

Well you .. err .. you ... obviously you ... don't ... err.



Dunno.

Just what I was thinking!

Fletcher Pratt rules, 1:200 scale paper ships ... all I need now for WW2 Pacific naval games is a 2 mile square ballroom :-)

Ah! Fletcher Platt! First encountered in Donald Featherstone's Naval Wargames - my introduction to 'organised' rule playing wargames. Much to thank Don for and the local library there! 

Seconded 

Thirded!

Don's "Naval Wargames" was the request that finally drove the local Children's Library staff to get me access to the Adult section of the library!

Adult section: started Mills & Boon early!

just tried looking at the market place and for even recent posts I get

Looks like I won't be going back there any more

Was that meant for the TMP thread Orcs?

Apparently the Children's Library didn't stock Asimov, Clarke, Heinlein, books on mummification in Ancient Egypt or Jane's Fighting Ships 1942 as a regular thing and the staff got fed up trotting across the hall to the Adult section and explaining that, Yes! They were sure the child in question really would read these things!

Our school had a scheme where they would source Penguin books.

"So you're sure you want Aeschylus?"
