The cold has pretty much died off now, so normal service should resume in short order.<br /><br />@ Arquinsiel - for "lead" in the questions you can always substitute plastics/resin - I was including that in my answers as I've probably got over £100 of plastics and another £100+ of plastics to assemble and paint<br /><br />@ Bishop Lord - the thing is I do get plenty of fresh air, I just seem to be very prone to catching colds and have been like that since my teens.<br /><br />@ Felonmarmer - great story. I hope your friend wrote up a research paper on the effects of crashing into a Macedonian pike phalanx ;)TamsinPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759947520907448060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908829430234339181.post-31896315297892475422012-11-05T18:51:01.172+00:002012-11-05T18:51:01.172+00:00For the pricking your finger on a pike block quest...For the pricking your finger on a pike block question, you can't beat the escapade of a friend of mine. Halfway through a game of ancients we left the table set up and went of for beer and a balti. On returning to my flat, worse for wear, he decided he could touch his chin to the ceiling of my flat by standing on a chair (god knows how we came up with this scheme, though evidently it was heavily influenced by beer consumption). The net result was he fell over the table, missing my Indian army but falling right on to his Macedonian Greeks with his massed ranks of sharp steel pikes. Luckily alcohol deadened the pain.<br /><br />"Alcohol.
