One of my favourite quotes:

“Social media gives legions of idiots the right to speak when they once only spoke at a bar after a glass of wine, without harming the community... but now they have the same right to speak as a Nobel Prize winner. It's the invasion of the idiots.” ― Umberto Eco: novelist, critic

"There really are some deeply, deeply stupid people out there."

And social media gives them a platform to display it..........as well as the self absorbed narcissism of the current culture....
God I feel old..........

I see TSS hasn't listed the fortifications yet in 15mm or 28mm; so how did you buy them?

Erm, I ordered them off their website...

Indeed. It used to be that village idiots were ostracised loners and only had the opportunity of sharing their 'ideas' with the pigeons on the village square. They'd never travel to the next village and most importantly, would never breed...

Now they can communicate, share their idiocy and most tragically, multiply.

Here are the 28mm models: https://totalsystemscenic.com/product-c ... mm-vauban/

And I notice that they also do 6mm: https://totalsystemscenic.com/product-c ... ubanesque/

Indeed. And some twat mouthing off on the pub would either be ignored or eventually someone would twat them to shut them up...

Deleted. What seems funny on Codeine+ and an empty stomach usually isn't. I should have remembered that.

Since we're almost all of "that certain age" can anyone recall what was the product that "fortifies the over-forties"?

Beer? Pies? Beer and pies together?

Sadly, it appears not. But top marks for inventiveness and I shall definitely consider adopting this diet.

This is odd. When I follow your links, the fortifications are there. If I leave that page and go to say the 15mm resin building menu, I have 5 pages and they don't include the fortifications!

It's the same with the 28mm page.

I wonder if I inadvertently declined cookies or something?

Phyllosan...but I have no idea what Phyllosan actually was/is!

We have a winner - but don't worry, I had to look it up myself and I, too, have no idea what Phyllosan is/was or does/did. It's from the early 1950s, so it even predates me (1959); in fact, I've struggled to find any advertising for it that is in colour!!!
