Seeing that Bretonnians are a separate playable background in the Old World rpg.
Realise this means I can run an all Bretonnian campaign.
Realise what that would turn into.

I feel as though me, the Beckhams and the my fam move in different circles, if they think Brooklyn's mum dancing weird ruined the wedding. I've been to a wedding where the bride's mother got her tits out and punched the cake.

My Wogan story - It was my first day of work at BBC Broadcasting House, I was 19 & quite nervous. I passed Wogan on the stairs & he gave me a cherry "Morning"
Later that week he stopped me & asked how I was getting on, which was lovely of him because he didn't know me at all.

10 years since we lost the great Terry Wogan who, if you didn't know, was the first person to play reggae music on mainstream radio in the UK. I mentioned him in this piece about Dawn Penn's No No No for the @thequietus.com a couple of years back thequietus.com/opinion-and-...

I would have a massive room with loads of tables; some for board games or RPGs, loads landscaped for different wargames.
And a home IMAX screen.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.
