Can I have my man-servant get you anything? Brandy? Cigar? No?
Well, I do hope you wont mind if I partake of a small libation myself. I find that this is perfect weather for having a small drink and lounging on the veranda.
Geoffrey - Please take our guest's hat and coat and then bring me a cognac. I shall also like you to prepare some tea in case our guest is suddenly stricken with thirst.
So how have you been, my old boy? Not to poorly I hope. I heard that you had a spot of trouble durin your trip to Zimbabwe. Some kind of run in with a giant spider on the African veldt?
1) Coloured Dust - Arachnarok Spider
Egads, man! I had no idea that such a fearsome beast existed? My condolences to your Porters and your Land Rover.
Speaking of trips, one of the lads down at the gentleman's club recently recounted the details of one of his own recent journies. He found this wonderful shop... in American of all places! Sometimes the colonials get things right I guess.
2) Dark Future Games - Dropzone Games: Simply the Best FLGS!
I can't much follow most of what the man is on about, but it's clear that he's passionate. In this day and age that's rare enough to merit attention on it's own.
Geoffrey! Where is my drink, man! It's been ages since I asked for it!
If it wasn't for his father's previous service, I don't know why I'd keep him on anymore.
Met him on campaign in the good old days, actually. Back when you could kill a man and not be expected to be remorseful. Ah those where the days. Now you have all this bleeding heart nonsense and psychological evaluations. bah!
3) Do You Have a Flag? - Arthurian Space Marine Chapter Organisation Chart
I kept this as a memento of sorts. A finer group of soldiers I have never served with.
Ah there you are, Geoffrey! And you've brought my mail instead of the drink I so desperately need... Good God, man! I'm positively parched in here! I can only imagine what my guest is going through. Please make haste with our refreshments.
Oh ho! What's this? A letter from the foreign office? Excellent. I do hope you wont mind while I open this. I have been waiting for this missive for some time.
4) Collegia Titanica - Synir og dughters í snjó
Drats and curses! Someone else has swooped in and taken over my planned expedition to the frozen north! Those damnable louts! It was my idea to travel the frozen north and investigate those noble savages!
Perhaps there is some merit in their undertaking the endeavor after all. It occurs to me that I have other pressing responsibilities. As well as the opening of the new exhibit at the museum. They recently acquired a most wondrous machine, you know.
5) Ninjabread - Forge Father Iron Ancestor
Truly astounding. You can see the announcement in the paper here next to this piece on a farewell to something called '5th edition' and some race of beings called Necrons. Necrons... what an odd word. I must remember to look into that.
6) Casual Bryssling of a Ruthless Mind - Bryss' Musings #3
Gracious, look at the time, It seems I've rambled on for ages. What brings you here? Ah, yes. The invitation I sent you. Erm... right.
It seems that your mother is worried about you. Seems you're having a spot of trouble with the ladies. Well, lets hope this sheds some light on your... situation.
7) Tentakel Games - Sexism and miniatures
Something to think on, I wager. Well, it seems that our refreshments may never come. So you will have to excuse me while I make sure that Geoffrey hasn't expired.
