Or be properly English about it and have a flag you got from The Sun, empty beer cans and a rusting BBQ in your mess of a garden while you laze around in a wife-beater t-shirt drinking Stella Artois or Carling

Sounds like you English have a version of our 'Trailer Park White Trash', but instead of Stell Artois it would be Budweiser or Pabst Blue Ribbon

Basically. Common terms include "Chav" over here. Stella Artois is known as "wife beater" as it is reputed to cause people to get angry and fight-ey as a drink (it's actually quite nice!).


Anyway, this may be getting into areas the Mods would be unhappy with.


On a brighter note... I'm surviving this week at work (ish)

Let's just say I'm not the sporting type shall we?

Though that said, I'm often found trying to get people to act
with some sportsmanship.  But such as it is with people playing
on the internet hehe.

I possibly missed my vocation as an NCO.  My WoW raid group messes up, there's some
harshness coming from me.  Though considering how seldom I do so, my disapproval
tends to weigh heavily enough without resorting to profanities :p

As for CoD I used to play that, and yes I've been known to give way better than I got should
anyone dare to take a pop.  I'm not much of one for turning the other cheek, but I do prefer
to talk sense first rather than insult.

Foxbat, what's the new avatar?

This is a Pizarro class dropship, from the Spanish led project - under God and Davion's supervision - TRO Shadows of War (this year some other European fans also managed to get some designs in  ;))
You'll find a link to the PDF here
It's all in Spanish, which makes even happier to have begun learning Spanish for a year now.  ;)

 :'(  I don't even speak French (this is embarrassing as my mother is fluent and a French teacher)


On the other hand I've grabbed the Chaos Irregulars books from DriveThru recently and am enjoying reading some new official as opposed to fanfic BT stuff


In other news I'm buying Spitfire beer by the squadron (as quite a few of you have seen and commented on Facebook) but we can barely keep up with replacing heavy initial losses of 25%... Those damn German, Italian and Japanese lagers and just too powerful although I've got some Czech allies in the form of Staropramen - I'm re fighting WW2 in my beer fridge


And now here in the uk at least we have a 4 day weekend even though I'm only getting 3 as I'm working on Monday


Hope everyone else is well

I'm lucky enough to have a five day weekend, but regrettably no beer.

Booze pricing being obscene here and all that, but the weathers decent and
there's no alarm clocks....can't complain really.

Interesting...doubt I'd be able to make it, but like I said, you're more than welcome to stop by our Sunday Battletech game. We play at Generation X Comics in Hurst, usually starting between noon and 1.

I read Spanish Muy Bien, thank you very much, as long as it's Castile and not Catalan.

Wait, there's a Lewisville and a Louisville?  That's confusing.

More snow?  Will lake Michigan thaw before July 4th this year?

I can only hope. Monday it snowed, yesterday was almost 80...
