BLOG-CON at Foundry Miniatures 9th/10th November 2013.........

......I came, I saw, I wrote about it.

A few of the Rejects want and hope to attend this in November and hopefully attend both days, a few games, good friends, maybe a few beers and a few curries but this is also for non bloggers to attend, it's about community!

"A Convention run by and for Wargames Bloggers"

James Brewerton or G.I James has written this on his blog to launch Blog-Con........

I am very happy to be able to announce that Wargames Foundry have agreed to host Blog-Con 2013 at their Foundry in Nottingham over the weekend of November 9th/10th.
What I want is for all you bloggers to have a great time be able to catch up face to face and also try out some different games. I would like anyone who would like to bring a game along to contact me with what game it is how much space they will need and how long a game will last. When I have a list of what games are going to be put on I will produce a list, while I do not want to get all formal and do sign up lists I think we will need to give the people putting on some idea of how many gamers want to try their game. My hope is that with a good bit of publicity we may get a few non-bloggers showing up and trying out a few games. If we can encourage some new wargamers then all the better also it would be nice if we can encourage along any youngsters. I have set up a new blog that I want to run as a community blog, anyone who wants to post on it just needs to let me know their email address so I can set them up as authors, on this blog you can tell all about the game you are putting on or maybe the painting/terrain demo you want to put on or simply can offer a lift to the venue. I will be giving the blog address to Marcus and it will be linked to the Foundry Website.

Angry blogger rant, Safia Gaddafi, Salute 2012 bad news, won a competition and boobies....

Blogger is giving me arseache at the moment, deleted my blogroll due to the fact you couldn't add anybody to it any more, I then did another blogroll (which took fecking ages) and entered all my favourite blogs again minus a few fecking dead ones and everything was fecking fine and now it's stopped me adding fecking blogs again, can't get any answers from blogger but now they're really arse invading us with this new Captcha fecking arse water..........

....even this guy trying to be funny got it fecking wrong!

I'm already angry enough without having to squint and shout at the computer more than I usually fecking do and then have (mild mannered , fecking bollox) Ray who is on days this week coming in and fecking ranting about Captcha to me because he's physically fecked and blind as fecking well, for fecks sake blogger sort yourself out.....

.......and why is fecking Safia Gaddafi emailing me!!!!!!!.........

Greetings to you,

I am the second wife of the Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and my name is Safia Farkash al-Baraasi Gaddafi. we came to know each other in 1971 when Gaddafi was admitted to a hospital where i worked as a nurse. we got married the same year and have six sons and one daughter.

I decided to contact you on this vital issue as you may have heard about the death of my husband Muammar Gaddafi on Thursday Oct 20 2011.............,

This is just an excerpt from the email but money is involved eventually.........

The Rejects are not doing the WW2 game at Salute 2012 now due to the organiser Paul Darnell having to pull out due to work issues but we'll still be going as fecking punters and hope to meet up with fellow bloggers there....

I entered a competition over at Retro-Zombie about filling in the blanks in a comic and I fecking won and I won a  puzzle page?, I'd rather win his current competition which is easy to enter where the prize is a zombie head pencil holder, give the boy a visit......

The last two panels were blank and something came over me and I'm not fecking sorry......

This is the fecking prize!!!!!!!!!!!!

Always had a thing for the counsellor, looks like somebody else fecking did.......

...and whilst painting a fecking 28mm Predator figure for a fecking friend I dropped a lot of fecking black paint down the front of my fecking shirt, fecking friends........

Now have a good fecking weekend if you can, rant over and I'm fecking out of here.......
