BLOG-CON 1....the Reject Road Trip!

Ray: ZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz!
Fran: Ray!
Ray: ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
Fran: RAY!
Ray: What?
Fran: Stop fecking snoring!
Ray: I can't help it!
Ray: ZZZZZzzzzzzzzz!
Fran: Ray!


The committee (Loki, James and Kev) meet to discuss the snoring and budgie smuggler incident!


Fran: WTF?
Ray: What's wrong?
Fran: Put some fecking clothes on!
Ray: I have (lifting his belly up) and showing the tiniest pair of underwear!
Fran: For fecks sake I've gone blind!
Ray: What's the problem?
Fran: Why are you wearing budgie smugglers?
Ray: What?
Fran: Are they from the childrens department?
Ray: No!
Fran: Put some fecking clothes on...something has winked at me!

Separate rooms next year..........!

The trip up in the car was a five hour endurance test with Ray wanting to punch other drivers in the throat, traffic hold ups, heavy rain, tiredness and a sat nav extracting the urine with it's constant journey arrival times getting less hopeful.....how we laughed!

Getting poisoned by The Flaming Dragon was no picnic either (bloody Ray)........caught a movie, checked out the local wildlife (I feel old)..........our neighbours upstairs were lucky to survive as well!

The 2 day event at Wargames Foundry and for which we attended both days was excellent, the foundry is a bright huge area of shiny goodness, several of the tables already had games set up by several fellow bloggers but by the end of two days I had only managed to play three, Ray managed four, there was so much talking to be done and bitching about Ray obviously as well!

Great event, great people, great games, next year they're thinking of holding it on one day with a dinner afterwards, sounds great to me and if I'm still kicking I'll be there!

What follows is a series of pictures from the event..........

The best game for me was Dave's Wild West town of Serenity game, anything went and was allowed, great set of rules!








Excellent scenery............

Blazing dice and blog whore!

The man Dave himself, great umpire and leader of the pack James!

Ian with his 6mm Napoleonic game wondering when the kick in the crackers would come....

Still wondering.....

Lovely little 6mm goodness.........




Next up was a game of SAGA between myself and Ray, first time we ever played these rules......

Mike tries to explain the SAGA rules to Ray for the seventh time, poor Mike.......







A good game but will need more attempts to master it, I would have won as all I had to do was roll a 5 with 4 dice....no such luck!


Another game of Blazing dice well received.......

The glare from that bald spot.......

Pete Barfield and his excellent VBCW game........

The ninja sect of Morris men.......



Really good game with me playing the Irish boys but James sneaking the win with the box challenge......

The Irish did well and sorted Lee's boys out sharpish.......

Warlord Paul in the distance with his Oldhammer game, should have got pictures......

Ray spending a lot of Posties money, a lot of temptation at this venue.......

Missed lots, didn't play as many games as I would have liked, lots of chatting, bullshitting, shenanigans and people ganging up on Ray and finding out I was right all along!

Roll on next year if I'm still around!

Angry Lurker Honest Movie Review 99: Star Trek: Into Darkness 2013 (4 STARS).....

....and Kris is giving away a lot of free stuff over on his blog for hid birthday week!

Not much more to add to what many others have said.........impressive (may contain spoilers).


When the crew of the Enterprise is called back home, they find an unstoppable force of terror from within their own organization has detonated the fleet and everything it stands for, leaving our world in a state of crisis. With a personal score to settle, Captain Kirk leads a manhunt to a war-zone world to capture a one man weapon of mass destruction. As our heroes are propelled into an epic chess game of life and death, love will be challenged, friendships will be torn apart, and sacrifices must be made for the only family Kirk has left: his crew.

I enjoyed the first, no real problems, I saw this in 3D and a couple of arrows made me flinch but getting better with 3D entertainment, this is quite an excellent movie from the get go, plenty of action, great effects, a good story with great characters, some humour, could do with more action but that's just me, the main characters are growing and you can see this developing before any 5 year missions.........

We have a new Khan (bloody impressive), old style Klingons (impressive), a Tribble and a Federation that I would have loved a series on, less exploring and more blowing the crap out of things but that's just me, it really is highly entertaining even if not a fan of Star Trek and I may go see it again.....

Also this lady is in it and in this outfit......

Happy New Year and a bloody good 2013 if you can!

Me and Ray sit here in the gatehouse (sober) looking at the fecking fireworks burst in the sky as we sneak quietly in to the new year, we shake hands and look forward to our hobby and blogging but bleakly towards redundancy in February but you never know sometimes what the future will bring.

Have a good year people if you can.............
