If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

THIRTEEN CATS !!!!!!!!!! 

Our one is bad enough - constantly meowing to go out, then five minutes later meowing to come back in.

Yes I know I could have a cat flap, but it has its own "comfy house" outside to go in and I reckon the double glazing will outlast the cat by many years, so I did not want to be left with it in an expensive door after the cat had popped its clogs.

Does that include his time as a male model in the '70s? He was the second centerfold in the Belgian edition of Playgirl, with a staple through his privates. The sergeants and the officers were not affected.

Then there was his short time in a German Techno-Pop group in the '80s. That's how he got his nickname by the way. He played keyboards in "Der Kreigspeilers", and wrote the classic "die wal müssen unten kommen" (the Wall must come down). The group played their last gig in 1989 as the wall indeed came down after which they fell out on the way forward for a combined Germany. He was recently reconciled with his lead singer, David Hasselhof, in a small hotel in Dusseldorf.

The '90s were a bad time for Techno. After a short time as quality assurance tester in a straw factory (he checked them from the inside) he got itchy feet. It wasn't wanderlust, but athlete's foot. He quit working in straw manufacturing because it sucked, and set up in business as a scarecrow. This venture fell through as he didn't reach the dress code.

Techno's life changed around when in 2002 he was working at a school crossing patrol. He liked the job well enough, but hated having to paint "STOP" on his face every morning.  


He befriended a  six year old lad, who talked about playing with soldiers. Techno began regaling the young lad with his stories about playing with soldiers, until the child pointed out that he had actually been talking about wargaming with Airfix figures. Embarrassed, Techno made the lad a 20mm Rommel out of earwax. Leon, for the stripling was indeed Leon, recognised the demon modeller who would work for below minimum wage, and so Techno joined the Pendraken crew.

... and the rest you know.

Any news of Our Techno? Has he resurfaced on planet 2014, or is he still in Wales?

I am really expecting him to return as "Techno the White", with his powers enhanced.

If he's not back by next Tuesday week, can I have his "Cheers Phil" sign off?

Well, he did, but was clubbed over the head with a deep frozen husky and the rest chewed down on his thigh.*

*According to Arnold J Rimmer anyway! ;)

Leon

He's still waiting on new interwebs unfortunately, so isn't properly back yet.  The first hamster had a dodgy leg, so he had to send it back to BT.  They've upgraded him to a guinea pig instead, fully trained in Phiber Opptik, but it'll take time for the creature to walk all the way to the valleys.

There is also a rumour of Winn-Doughs 8, but such futuristic shenanigans won't go down well with Mrs Jones in the village.
