Why oh why can't you feckers play with jigsaws and Airfix Kits and grow old gracefully.........someones gonna get hurt and don't come running to me when you do (quote from my dear old Mum)
I tried growing old gracefully, for a while, but fuck its boring and there ain't much graceful about me anyway. So I now vow be a disgrace and an embarrassment to my kids, and have fun doing so

Could not put it better myself @Scrappy, I am and have always been the embarrasment to all my family and I am too old or have the desire to change now.I tried growing old gracefully, for a while, but fuck its boring and there ain't much graceful about me anyway.

I have a family wedding next month and I have been told that there will be a mixture of all ethnic groups and a awfull lot of liberal, woke, and easily offended types, so if my speech does not offend [which it will] I have a ace new beach shirt for the evening party that will raise a few eyebrows [fook em]

I always used to care too much about what others thought, now I just think fuck em, because most other people are twats (the honourable company of this forum being the exception).
My son I think is often embarassed by me, but my daughter not so much, it was her that sent me the link to Raven Forge https://ravenforge.com/ after she had brought herself a set of throwing axes
That shirt is fantastic @Don the Don, well played

I’m going to introduce that idea to my daughters
Although personally I prefer war hammers
If anyone is interested in this sort of weaponry for decorative purposes
I can recommend SouthernSwords they have a good website and supply reenactment quality arms and armour

Jeez ain't you lot learnt anything from the 'youf'? Don't waste your money on fancy schmancy swords and 'war' hammers. Buy cheap disposable hammers (the claw type and brick hammers are particularly useful and I'd personally go for fibreglass shafts), Kitchen knives and Machete's if you want bladed weapons. For 'claymore' type effect a long piece of flat bar with an edge ground onto it will do the job.

Just an observer of current 'underworld' methods and weaponry @Old Nick .....Honest guv. Oh I forgot to mention the rather useful projectile weapon that is the gas powered nail gun and I also forgot hatchets and axes available from your average DIY store for pennies (again fibreglass or even steel handles over wood).

Thanks, they have in stock (and cheaper) the matching sword for the Templar dagger I recently brought, so just ordered it

I've got a couple more pics but the resolution of my new Sony means the file sizes are too big to load up on here and I'm a bit lazy to make a lo-res version... Will load some to Flikr at some point and put up a link.
They had several Templar swords and models that look the business. As well as the usual movie replicas from Braveheart, Robin Hood, GoT and the like. Well worth a look if you're ever passing Conwy, and the cafe next door is built into one of the town wall gatehouse and has excellent filter coffee and cake, cough, @half ton ...

What neighbour?That reminds me.
How are you getting along with your neighbour these days Sandy?
If he had 2 brains he'd still be a haffwit.
I'm ignoring the *insert expletive of choice*. And, to be honest, he tends to hide when he sees me, and he locks the door a lot. Paranoid, much?
