Now....Go and get your coat.

The German are panic buying sausages and cheese, but it's only for a wurst käse scenario.

Bravo John, absolutely the best one on the thread so far, even if I did hear it yesterday first!

My worries about starving to death (I am disabled - getting to a supermarket is impossible and my "weekly" delivery isn't available for 2 weeks...) and other "irrelevancies" were alleviated by a smashing little box of Pendraken 10mm loveliness being delivered today!

After failing at solo gaming (my opponent cheated!) am attempting to organise a PBEM campaign of the 1690 Williamite war in Ireland - any suggestions for rules?

Twilight of the Sun King, great set for lace wars!

I'd be up for a role in that if you have a space

Try:

The battles, sieges and skirmishes / raids I think we have sorted - it's more the overall campaign framework (by email) I was hoping for help with.

Will let you know Toxic, I think we have 4 or 5 players currently so may have room for another Jacobite commander

Splendid! I really enjoyed Sandinista's PBEM Alt-Lace Wars game last year, even without live pushing of lead

Count me in chaps

Cheers, it was fun to play the battles that developed from it.

I heard it yesterday too, from No1 son in Australia.  Amazing how the jokes get around - faster than Corona Virus. 

Perhaps a 'COVID 19' humour thread is needed to lighten the mood.

On the BBC news, the Chinese have been getting back into their parks after being cooped up for 3 months as they have 3 consecutive days of no further internal person to person infections - there is light at the end of the tunnel.

In other news, I am hopefully getting a game to the table this afternoon to compare two different sets and styles of rules. Having a whole Sunday in and it having that 'slow please yourself pace' is very reminiscent of my younger years, when everywhere was closed on a Sunday and it put an emphasis on family unity, something I doubt we properly appreciated or properly understood what we had until we lost it.  A difference at the moment is that we can't have the family around.

The mental health of those frazzled by long hours of unrelenting work could only  be helped by having a day in the week for us to just stand still and be immune to the demands of bosses and targets.

I met my daughter and one of my grand daughters on a car park yesterday, we spaced the cars and had a chat and left a gift in her boot that will obviously have to be sanitised before handling and she left her Mother's Day gift for us. I have one of those mini fold out chair supports which I placed between the cars, so we could all speak without twisting and had a lot of fun telling the granddaughter 'Oh no it isn't' - Oh yes it is. It was an unusual meet-up, but certainly good for the spirits.

I then went to my son's works, he put the Mother's Day gift in the boot and we left him a small bag of goodies from Mark's .... which included a four pack of loo roll - strange times!

Happy Mother's Day to all mum's who are having to do this in a different way this year.

Yes.....The news from China IS encouraging Though there's obviously a long way to go for a number of countries at the moment. ...Including ourselves, I suppose.

I'll second that !
