@unclejimmy thank you. I do love a bit of Russian armour, get them done and post some pics! I’ve been painting some 10mm fantasy as well, they are fun!
July 16, 2019 at 12:24 pm #1415187@dawfydd – I have been ‘away’ for a little bit too. Being ill sucks. Hospital sucks usually because you feel ill while you are there! I am there with you all the way. Spent a few anxious hours myself, in a hospital bed doubting my own mortality, wondering if all those things I did were wrong, everyone else was right, and feeling totally shit. It passes (if it already hasn’t) and hospital staff are awesome…well, mine have been. These guys/gals are amazing people.
If there is ANYTHING I can do to help then just let me know. Seriously. No, really…
Back pain, what little I have ever suffered from is not like any other sort of pain. A cough is like being beaten up by my friend, Derek. Something that you don’t even consider, like turning over in bed, becomes almost an act of heroism. All of my fingers will be crossed just for you. Take care.
@robert – flowers? Good one…
July 16, 2019 at 12:28 pm #1415188@robert – 10mm = madness! There used to be a guy who ran his own wargames shop in Byker, back during the dark ages of the 80’s, who did 3-5mm modern troops…they were just a stick with a fleshy blob on top.
Will there be a new ‘weekender’ this friday? Heather breaks up on friday and I might hang-around.
July 16, 2019 at 2:35 pm #1415243We just thought we would mix it up with a fortnightender. Normal service provided by one brave volunteer (not me) will start a new one on Thursday. So, something to look forward to like a forgotten kick-start pledge.
July 16, 2019 at 3:08 pm #1415259@sundancer , @robert & @unclejimmy thanks for the kind words & wishes chaps It does mean a lot even though I’ve not met any of you in person.
Good news I’m out of surgery and currently more pain-free than I have been in years. Even before the triple hit of morphine they shot me with ??
@unclejimmy my main concern has been bills comf months end as all of my related time off has eaten through the paid sick leave I get from work. I hadn’t planned to share it here, but I do have a Gofundme set up to help cover those costs. If it’s oksy with @warzan I’ll post a link as any contributions would be much appreciated, otherwise when I get home I’m going to start looking at stuff I can post in the Bazaar to raise some funds.
(and apologies, I am completely off my tots right now and my filter is waaaaaaasaaaaaaaaaaaay gone ?
July 16, 2019 at 5:29 pm #1415330@dawfydd – just post the link if the boss says it is ok. Failing that just PM it to me. Morphine is great.
@woldenspoons – I will look forward to it. I have a little bit of experience with the format, but it has been a while. However, it does seem a touch ‘lacking’ in it’s following.
July 16, 2019 at 5:33 pm #1415331@dawfydd no need to apologize.
The fact that you’re feeling better is really good news.July 16, 2019 at 7:16 pm #1415347@limburger – Oddball rules. Woof-woof. (That was his other dog impression) I am sure it is Artizan minis that do an awesome mini of him. Clint and Telly too. I’m sure I have them somewhere…
July 16, 2019 at 8:02 pm #1415363@unclejimmy I think Warlord had them with rules for Bolt-action IIRC
And no dog impression is complete without :
July 16, 2019 at 8:43 pm #1415368RIP RM. I am certain than if I reach 80+ years old that the ‘youth’ will be watching ‘the young ones’, ‘bottom’, and ‘FR&C’ in the same way I used to watch Laurel & Hardy or Sgt. Bilko. It still freaks me out when I realise he is dead.
Best line as LF: Nursie, just how I like it…firm and fruity!
July 16, 2019 at 8:56 pm #1415369I saw him live in one of the Bottom tours. Both were brilliant.
Anybody volunteering to run this week’s thread? I am too busy this time but will do the next one if need be.
July 16, 2019 at 9:02 pm #1415370@woldenspoons I think @unclejimmy should do it for old times sake, if he wants to, of course. Otherwise I’ll do but it’ll be like my favourite TV quiz show, Pointless 😉
July 16, 2019 at 9:36 pm #1415372@robert – I am sure your TV Quiz is awesome as long as it has plenty of ancient stuff for me! Heather breaks-up for the holidays on friday, but I am sure I could find a few minutes to sort something out for you, if you are sure. I will try and be a good boy this time and not get into trouble.
However, it had better be best fighting trousers one if you want to survive! Not so much a “weekender”, but a test of faith. Nothing heavy…except the music.
You had better check with @warzan first. Just in case.
July 16, 2019 at 9:38 pm #1415373@woldenspoons – lucky you. I am a little jealous. I have watched them on YT, but it couldn’t have been the same. Live rules.
July 16, 2019 at 10:07 pm #1415374Well it’s been a bad weekend for hobby for me. 😛 I built a Space Wolf Primaris Battle Leader (?) that my brother gave to me. He’s in sub assemblies right now, but so is a lot of stuff. Work has been taking pretty much all of my time, right now. If I’m not working I’m at the school in one of the labs. 😛 I’ll try and post some pics later.
Welcome back @unclejimmy , it’s been a while and it’s good to see you. Well, internet see you. You know what I mean…
@dawffyd Hope you feel better soon, mate! Hospitals do suck sometimes.
