What are people buying?

[Shahbahraz]

Buying? More warbases sabots and bases. Of course, realising 10 seconds after I clicked Pay, that I needed another dozen pill bases as well, magnets, resin, isopropyl alcohol and casualty figures for the 45 to do more shock markers.

But bastards as the English were, at least they weren't Catholics... I think that also played a very large part in the quite astonishing reaction to the French landing of 1797.

I work with a fella from Fishguard...I love that story!!! The French just stopped to get pissed didn't they? And then got chased off by some local fierce looking women?? Brilliant!!

Here you go... Everything you wanted to know about the Battle of Fishguard but were afraid to ask...

Sadly all the local museums, council, schools, etc, prefer to push ridiculous fiction instead of actual history...

Bloody hell. Virgin blocks me from going there saying it needs age verification.

I'm so proud... Not bad for a blog about toy soldiers!

The age verification is "under 14".

I get this...

Ok. Just tested, Virgin will happily let me go to porn, but blocks a wargames website?

My innate paranoia wonders whether it's also partly because of the mention of a 'Black Legion'.

Fantastic! Best day ever!

I don't have any of those filters, I like it raw.

Ah yeah, I actually looked it up at the time and seems a pretty interesting story to be fair! Plus Jon said he thinks the old folk lore is just a bit of fun, but loves the history of it as a proper Pembrokian.

Why let the actual history get in the way of a good folk legend

Yeah, I didn't think there were any filters. I certainly haven't opted in to any. It sounds like various ISPs are experimenting with blocking content.

Which just means VPN companies get a payday.
