The Rejects will be at Broadside 2012 this Sunday with our WW1 Battle of Amiens 1918 demo game........
...a sneak pic of the practice demo game we played last Sunday.
......and now a story about a magic trick!
Many years ago back in Dublin, me and the boys were out drinking and we ended up in a posh hotel bar, for some reason they were hosting a magic show with a reasonably famous magician and his quite risqué magic show (amazing female assistants).
So anyway the show was good until he requested a volunteer from the audience to help with an old magic trick, my mates volunteered me and really fecking reluctantly I agreed.
He asked me to loan him my watch....... which I did, he asked me to place it in a red velvet bag that his assistant handed me...and I did, he then took the bag and with a large fecking hammer that he produced from his inside his cloak he proceeded to knock the faeces out of the bag and then he asked to go back to the seat.......
....very, very reluctantly I returned to my seat to the sound of my mates laughing their heads off, I sat down when all of a sudden the magician shouted at me and threw the red velvet bag to me......
......I reached inside the bag and took out a doughnut and I bit into it and guess what was in it...........
....JAM!!!!!!
What a fine set of tanks!!! I wonder how many of them made it across the field???????
ReplyDeleteIf your watch had been in the doughnut, I would've been impressed.
ReplyDeleteNice work on the tanks.
I love jelly doughnuts. :) You ever get the watch back? That demo game is looking good, too.
ReplyDeleteSame question from me. Did you get the watch back?
DeleteGreat looking tanks! Doughnuts...
ReplyDeleteYou guys are at work again arn't you!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNice looking pic, and the tanks arn't bad either LOL
Enjoy the Con and good luck
Ian
Yes, why do you ask?????
DeleteThat story was very unsatisfying! Please tell me you got your watch back!
ReplyDeleteThe tanks look good. I especially like the logs on the front of the first one.
It's a win/win either way, jam or watch.
ReplyDeleteMagicians are a bunch of tools. No thank you. You know what I would have done with that doughnut???? Anyway...nice work on those there tanks and dudes! Have a fun time =D
ReplyDeleteLove the models! Having run a demo game myself in January this year, I can assure you that all the hard work really does pay off!
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteA timeless tale with a sticky ending... or is that a sticky tale with a timeless ending?
Regards
Looking like a good game. Nice tanks etc. SO see you Sunday.
ReplyDeleteYou guys are lucky to have so many competitions around. We down under have none. That's what I've heard of, anyway.
ReplyDeletelol which was more important the watch or the doughnut????
ReplyDeleteGood luck guys. I see you've found something productive to do on the night shift after all :D
ReplyDeleteJelly doughnuts!
ReplyDeleteA trick nevertheless. He turned metal into jam!
Good luck in Broadside mate!Have a good one.
Mmmmmm donuts!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck this coming sunday!!
LOL have fun Sunday mate
ReplyDeleteGood luck, and have a nice day!
ReplyDeleteThere can't be long left Fran, nearly there! Great looking teaser pic; I'm looking forward to more details of the big day out.
ReplyDeleteif you got your watch back, then at least you got a free donut.
ReplyDeletehave fun with the game!
Enjoy the demoing this weekend.. looking forward to the feedback and comments you all will be posting afterwards..
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah.. what happened to the watch? And how good was the donut?
There will be times where doughnuts become more value than a watch...believe me ;-)
ReplyDeleteAwesome donut... ;) good luck with the show!
ReplyDeleteIt would have been way too impressive if there was a watch inside the doughnut.
ReplyDeleteHope you guys have a great game this weekend. Nice donut Mr L but it doesn't tell the time like a watch!!!
ReplyDeleteTanks look good. Moral of the story , don't wear nice watches to magic shows, don't trust your friends ?
ReplyDeleteFair swap Homer, I mean Fran. Good luck for the weekend.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your demo game!
ReplyDeleteChristopher
I never wear watches, but I'll never say no to a donut. Especially jam filled ones.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the demo.
Donuts taste better than watches. Good luck with the show!
ReplyDeleteMmmmmmm...jam
ReplyDeleteLOL Jam? That was kind of a let down, should have been the watch, crappy magician hahaha
ReplyDeleteWhat you lost in a watch you made up for in jelly doughnuts. A fair trade, no?
ReplyDeleteDonuts? Was this before or after you went into security? ;)
ReplyDeleteHope to make it down to Kent on Sunday so that I can pay homage to Postie and take the mickey out of you and Ray :)
Mmmm.... doughnuts. Now if you'd eaten it WITH the watch inside THAT would have been a real magic trick. But then you'd have to wait to pass the time.... geddit? :-o
ReplyDeleteThe tanks look terrific BTW.
Take cover behind the tank!!
ReplyDeleteYa but wait.... where's the fucking watch!!
ReplyDeleteWas it an expensive watch? And was it a good doughnut? Seems like a fair trade I guess....
ReplyDeleteTanks look great, also unusual to see vehicles on bases.
ReplyDeleteDoughnuts look great too, unusual to see so much jam.
Watch, disappointing, unusual to see no picture
Wishing you all a great time this wknd. And hunkering down behind a tank is a good thing!
ReplyDeletethat looks mighty epic (both pics :)
ReplyDeleteWow, thats a harsh magic trick! or a very funny joke!!
ReplyDelete... AHAHAHA I would hate that magician forever. I mean, cough. Food!
ReplyDeletei take it you won the battle, since your tanks werent on fire like rays
ReplyDeleteI'd have been happy with a custard donut but jam is taking the piss.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time at the show, Fran, and remember to smile!
ReplyDelete(Also, if you make tank noises whilen they're moving and firing I find they seem to last longer... Just sayin'.)
-Curt
those tanks look awesome!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the demo game -- have a great time!
ReplyDeleteHave a top game and show there and did you really think you would find your watch in a donut?
ReplyDeleteGood Luck!
ReplyDeleteNice looking game, sadly I couldn't make it down to see it in the flesh.
ReplyDeleteWhat scale is it - 15mm? If So, where did he tanks come from? In after a couple of nice ones in 15mm
Minifigs for the most part mate and 15mm.
DeleteHello!! Good Information. :)
