The opening riff to Johnny B Goode always seemed to be stolen by the Stones most noteworthy in Star Star (As they called in on the cover!).<br /><br />The Milton Keynes wargames Show is still going strong and does at least gives us gamers a chance to drag our wives along so they can shop whilst we play!<br /><br />Talking of shows, I went to the London Model Railway Show at Ally Pally on Saturday. Never again will I complain about a Wargames Show! £12 to get in; most of the trade was selling 2nd hand tat or exactly the same as the next stand; the Railway “demos” were all surrounded by barriers so you needed binoculars to see them and there were more Geeks than a war hammer fantasy day out! The good news is that I bought a load of very cheap brushes and some nice scenery - pumpkin patch anyone?<br /><br />DonQuacksthekinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09981747791690983133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6605687469909340931.post-16542372445405042902018-03-23T23:09:27.880+00:002018-03-23T23:09:27.880+00:00Blimey!

I hadn't made the connection; there's only room in my head for one subject at a time these days and on that night it was the blues.<br /><br />And have you ever been to Milton Keynes? It's not the first place I'd head for if I was visiting the UK from the other side of the globe. As it happens I believe that the chap mentioned in the post above as being present forty years ago when I leapt on stage and 'helped out' on vocals used to be one of the organisers of the wargames show in the shopping mall in MK. It's a small world.Epictetushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17993781308540523271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6605687469909340931.post-53264199582533646532018-03-23T00:00:09.603+00:002018-03-23T00:00:09.603+00:00'Red Delta' could have been a set of skirm...'Red Delta' could have been a set of skirmish wargame rules picked up in a mall in Milton Keynes.Prufrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659918463589870423noreply@blogger.com
