The only problem here is it is tyhe person who draws the paper that has to do the job...The tank and MG noises should be no problem and as long as you allow the incorporation of teddy-bear counters into the scenario (0-4-10 SMC gives an automatic morale boost to any unit it's stacked with, rallies them and makes everything alright when combined with the 3-2-8 Mum counter) then we're ok on that one...

Which evil person came up with Eat Outside for Aberdeen in December? Do they have to eat outside by themselves or do the rest of you join them?

Well we've had stargazing and sardines so far...luckily Cassie decided not to squeeze into a REALLY small space.

This appears to be tasks for wholesome and younger family members or are you trolling for lewd and licentious actions? The Cleveland crowd is obviously fixated on ASL. The Detroit crowd would probably have things like:

Roll a bum

Torch an abandoned building

Score a Glock

etc.

Send John (me) some good scotch.

Been to the Orkneys...blasted place (in the true sense of the word) it slowly dawns on you that there are no trees there and it's quite strange. (Well except for Hoy which does have a small forest).
I'll miss giving the addresss to the Haggis at the Cubs Burns night (I have a Law Degree and a Post-grad one in Law and was thinking of doing a further MA in English specialising in Scottish Borders Poetry but just did not fancy third Degree Burns...)
Don't take the train to Mallaig although it'sgood just drive down all the single track roads. If you have a decent car it's one of the best drives in the world.

While not a clipper per se, I do respect other ASL "religions" and their right to clip as they see fit. Besides, it'll keep the kids busy for a few days! :devious:

You will not be saying that when the clippers become radicalised and try and force their sprue-less agenda on all, creating camps for non-clippers where they are forced to watch counters being sorted into Raaco organisers after they have been carefully shaved. The horror!

The scotch that goes well with the Burns... makes it all worth while...
