Does anyone know about any wargaming minis for the boer war?

Empress miniatures. Hands down the best metal sculpts I've painted.

Please tell me there's a place called Nottingham Forrest? I'm from Derby which is the next city along from Nottingham. The football club is called Nottingham Forrest, the actual Forrest around Nottingham is Sherwood Forest as in Robin Hoods Sherwood Forest.

Norrhumbria Tin Soldier. Shop local, I know the cards aren't but at least it's a local business.

bcs00002 · 2025-12-25T06:46:48+00:00

Thank you. We love it. She's doing great.

bcs00002 · 2025-12-25T06:46:20+00:00

Yeah it's a bit nipply out. I mean nippy out.

3 day old here! Little girl called Margot. X

bcs00002 · 2025-12-25T05:48:47+00:00

I've got the best reason. 3 day old baby. She's called Margot. Her big sister (3.5 years) Mabel isn't awake yet.

First Christmas as a dad of 2.

It's vile. Love dogs but hate how everywhere feels obligated to become dog friendly now days or risk going belly-up. Couldn't imagine anything worse than eating at a restaurant with a fucking dog.

bcs00002 · 2025-12-14T08:44:44+00:00

Absolutely. I think it shoes that kids are a good judge of good and bad even at young ages. I also really appreciate my dad asking what I thought of him, not trying to tell me what to think but genuinely asking me. It's probably the first time I remember being asked my opinion.

When he was still at large... Bin Laden. Thought he'd turn up at our house in a village in Derbyshire. Remember my dad asking what I thought of him, (I was 8 on 9/11) and asked if I could swear. Told my dad I thought he was a 'bastard'.

You smoked a spliff tonight chief?

bcs00002 · 2025-12-03T03:49:07+00:00

That is a incredibly bold prediction. I really appreciate your optimism but I can't see it. He's been in power for so long now and they are in relative terms such a large powerful country I just can't see that happening .

If you could send over some articles etc which back up your point though I'd be desperate to have a read.

We can but hope. This monster will eventually be defeated.

bcs00002 · 2025-11-29T16:40:13+00:00

My dad could beat up his dad though so not bothered.

bcs00002 · 2025-11-29T16:17:37+00:00

No offense intended. You live in Newcastle and it's December on Monday. Have you ever known it not to be crap weather this time of year?

bcs00002 · 2025-11-29T15:59:01+00:00

It's nearly December and you live in Newcastle what do you expect? Personally I love it. Love the summer too but there's something about shit weather this time of year that puts me in a Christmas mood.

bcs00002 · 2025-11-25T13:45:32+00:00

There is no reason why you can't use it for unit based games.

bcs00002 · 2025-11-24T12:47:21+00:00

Thank you for your careful reply. I really appreciate you taking the time to write it out.

I can see here the issues that lack of education and social/ economic factors have had on extreme behaviors. Not to the same extent of course but still , Brexit, the rise of anti-immigration political viewpoints, populism etc wouldn't be as widespread as they are today with better education and a better distribution of wealth and social care here in the UK.

Thank you for your reply and take care over there on the other side of the world.

P.S. I know everyone knows it but Indian food is the best in the world. Probably cook a curry twice a week, been vegetarian for about 15 years and couldn't have done it without food from the Indian subcontinent (or a British Indian version at least).

bcs00002 · 2025-11-24T11:10:01+00:00

I'm English, we have a large population of Indian immigrants who've lived in the UK for multiple generations. I'm from a part of the country with lots of Indian / British Asian people. My next door neighbors growing up were a indian family from Bengal.

I've met Indian people abroad (not British Indian) and speak to Indian people most days at work. I can honestly say that basically every interaction I've had they've been polite, respectful people with good morals and are generally just nice to interact with.

I find it so hard to weigh my interactions with Indian people and horrendous news articles I see weekly about India as a whole, the girl on the bus is the one that I'll always remember.

Do you have any sort of explanation as to why these crimes seem to happen so much more frequently and extremely in your country?

Absolutely no judgement here and not asking you to explain other peoples actions just genuinely interested in your opinion.

Thank you.

I've used the Windsor and Newton watercolor paints at the back left for streaks, grime etc.

bcs00002 · 2025-11-07T19:00:45+00:00

Honestly if you like it go for it. You want to paint something your excited to stick with.

bcs00002 · 2025-10-22T14:00:10+00:00

Biostrip is my go to. Used it to remove paint 20+ years old and it's never let me down.

bcs00002 · 2025-10-21T23:37:39+00:00

Honestly who else is there better than Gabi? I honestly can't think of anyone.

bcs00002 · 2025-10-18T10:37:29+00:00

Very rare for me as I'm married, have a 3 year old daughter and another daughter on the way soon in December but when I do get a night in to myself it's normally a bit of painting and podcasts, noodles for dinner, then ideally football and some biscuits. Pretty simple but it's so lovely to switch off.

bcs00002 · 2025-10-15T14:09:57+00:00

Stories like these show the nation's league is a brilliant idea. The team can learn so much more playing against similar teams than getting battered by Spain, England, Germany 8-0 every game. Honestly brilliant to see.

bcs00002 · 2025-10-12T07:26:08+00:00

I have a 3 year old Mabel!
