The Pointy Stick thread
Re: The Pointy Stick thread
Hello H. Good to have you back.
I've given this a lot of thought. Months I've been thinking about it. It's just been 'think, think, think' - constantly. Why doesn't anyone else do proper 20mm? Proper 20mm that is, not those 1/72 giants.
I'll e-mail you.

Yeah, that little c can be a bit itchy, just don’t rub it and it’ll get betterbattleeditor wrote: ↑Mon Nov 11, 2019 6:47 pm Folks, don't fall off your chairs but yes, it's me. Really, I'm not dead or otherwise incapacitated, just a slightly irritating touch of cancer, but still of sound mind, if not body.

I’ll drop you a mail as soon as the sprained wrist I sustained falling off my chair heals.
I get lockdown, but I get up again.

Harrow Henley, good to see that being put on the naughty step at PMT hasn't got you down.

Hi Henry, good to hear from you. Better to hear you have dodged the cancer bullet.

Thanks Grizz – not quite dodged, unless you count starting three years of hormone therapy with three or four months of radiotherapy next spring as "dodging"!
However, "fortunately caught it before it had a chance to kill me" would be accurate.
I've had more people disappearing up my rear end with heavy equipment than the Wookie Hole caving team. Feels like one of them dropped something, too.

Re: The Pointy Stick thread
What you need Henry, is a good loud fart to get rid of whatever they dropped up there.

I knew I’d get the best medical advice here. It’s like a prescription.
