 Ayup Folk,  Bringing the vibes today as we approach the first one-dayer of the season - the short hop over the Bridge to Neener Neener Land. For fam like me who love the Hull accent, a day trip to the land of Kerka Kerla is a top excursion from the craphouse of Lincolnshire. So lets have a look at the cool stuff going down at this event:                                                                            Hullish for "Pope" is "Perp". What You Will Need For This Weeks Hobby This is a 500pt, 4 game event, with hugely generous 2 hour round times. So you need one of those.

 Hear me now! If you've been on the internet for more than a year, you have probably stumbled upon the Hot / Crazy Matrix , which is a crude but accurate evaluation of the male / female relationship.

Well, there was no crack. Crack actually means "having fun" in Ireland. You can find more about this and other confusions care of Ali G . But once you get used to the weather (not good), the very dry sense of humour, the excellent food, and a sense that your always being just a tiny bit careful about choosing words that describe issues of faith and nation, you will have a good time. It will be "good craic". Dont try and buy crack to get craic.  What Went Down In The B-Town Beatdown? So, my friend and I went for a long weekend of toy soldiers. In a youtube preview of the event, my faction choice got a bit of a slagging off . But they maybe underestimated my shitness at this game, and inability to stay out of trouble.  So, minimal shooting, and plenty of fighting. Ranger Of Mirkwood surprisingl...
