I tend to tabulate, list & label everything. Cross reference & notarize. I possibly have a problem....

Maybe you're related to Wee Derek, he tends to have a thing for spreadsheets.

Personally, as I restarted my 'pile' on relocating, I think I have a reaosnable idea what's in the stash. Every so often I surprise myself turning up a 1/48 Interwar flying boat, or a set of Colonial Space Marines. But most of it I think I know about.

Who?

Sorry, just a Lardies 'personality'. He organises Deep Fried Lard, played at Musselburgh, and the spreadsheet reference is to a long running conversation on Frothers...

Also a stalwart of the Edinburgh club and a generous regular gaming colleague of mine last year (and hopefully next year).

Duplicate post...

And a huge "fan" of Flames of War...

Is it true that he's known as "Wee Derek" not because of his size, but because of his frequent trips to the toilet as a result of his impressively prodigious drinking habits?

Well, it ill behooves me.. but I do seem to recall that Wee D. and me sat up chatting till the small hours became the large hours, and drink may have been involved around about Virtual Lard 1. That lightweight, Rich Clarke, bailed out early.

That's probably the only time Rich has been called that!

Can't take his booze.. Lightweight.

The alternative theory is that he was sober enough to not get into it and baled out.

I couldn't possibly comment. But there was a later rumour that Derek had actually died of it. I confess he didn't move or talk much after 2 am.
