No you're not.......not by a long way ;):D D

Pretty much the same for me but in reverse. I get fully into the research, reading both fact and fiction about the period, event or individual. The modelled and painted end result is for me only part of the process. As I've said before nothing is displayed, some given away, others butchered and...

I think it's a time we're going through. Times change and we move on, if we over analyse what is simply entertainment and not historical fact or even speculation where do we draw a line. Shows such as It Aint Half Hot Mum, films like Carry on up The Kyber and even Shakespearean theatre, Olivier...

It's just a bit of quasi histo/fantasy entertainment nothing more. Either watch it or don't but it's certainly not worth trying to analyse it or interpret it from within an historical context. As for a black actor as Merlin who really cares? Was it a competent performance? if it was, thats fine...

Right Malc based on your recommendation I just watched the lot and thoroughly enjoyed the production. However having been left with a whole load of loose ends if there isn't subsequent series I will hold you personably responsible ;) D

Hello all. On behalf of a friend of my son. Does anyone know of a manufacturer in Ireland of wooden bases? I've already provided info on Oakwood and Petes bases and a few others. Cheers Derek

And to you and yours Brian. Stay healthy. D

Hi Brian. I'd originally skipped this as it's not a genre that particularly interests me.....how wrong I was! This is outstanding, it looks like actual flesh and blood below the greasepaint. Very impressed(y) Cheers Derek

Well not much more to add other than immediately obviously your work. Packed full of the trade mark drama and theater that we have all come to expect. The Shakespeare of bust painting :D Love everything about this (y) Take care of yourself. Cheers Derek

Got this from Robert a week or so ago with the intention of doing some surgery to convert him into a Covenanter pikeman. Liked the look and attitude of the figure so much that with a change of headwear and a few other minor tweaks I'm keeping him as a fifer. Going to use a bit of licence and...

Can't think when I've ever seen a team and support as happy even though they're out of the tournament......... Portuguesas off to Os Lobos (y)

If ever a team and their supporters deserved a score it's Chile. Now my second favourite side (y)

Unbelievable. Car needs 2 new front tyres, phoned National and was quoted £348. Pointed out that they were on their website at £130 each, guy without a pause said "we can do them at that". Ordered them through third party Tyre Shopper, same tyres, same National fitting depot for £229. Im sure...

Beautifully painted, but to my eye a very weird 3D tartan. D

Come on Steve you know fine well that all Scots are naturally cool, calm and collected, taking all decisions by officials with good grace and equanimity. Did it all through my playing days, my coaching days, see no reason to change now I'm a spectator :angelic:

I've decided to chill out regarding cards, the inconsistencies make Law 9:11 a subjective shambles. Have to say the Wales v Fiji game has been by some distance the most entertaining Can only assume that TMO Ben Whitehouse was watching replays of the Wales game and missed the Kriel incident. To...

Well from a Scottish perspective that could have been a lot worse. If nothing else it shows where the tidying up needs to be done. Over the piece there was some flashes from Scotland but few and far between and clinically managed by SA. On the down side its given a perfect illustration to Tonga...

Thats exactly what a tackler should do, if a player has 'landed' you are not required to assess whether or not he has gained his balance, so in essence such a tackle is legal. Its simply that Curry failed to control his technique, and why shouldnt he go for a big hit? The intention to hurt an...

On the matter of cards let me first agree that Curry fell foul of the strictest application of the law whereas the Chilean captain was treated more leniently. Although a number of pundits are pointing to both tackles being identical in my view the Chilean benefited from a degree of mitigation...

Very decent and solid performance from England, but to be honest they should have put more past what was a surprisingly poor Argentinian side. Other results pretty much as expected although the margins in the Irish and Italian games show the huge gap that exists between nations in any world cup.
