On that note I think secular cunningmattists have a perfectly legitamite reason to be considered not only a recognised religion, but in fact, the most appropriate religion, as their founder's doctrines are based solely on going off topic!

Loving the religious rant there, though am slightly concerned that you are helping give credibility to my role as a cult leader. And more concerned there might be a spelling mistake in that last sentence.

Well done Ol, your worthless voucher will be with you shortly. Although I may try and turn that 1 Shakeaway Voucher into 5,000 as part of my first miracle.

I tend to do that kind of miracle at work.  That way they foot the bill for the photocopying.

Is it bad that whilst I was watching Comic Relief I mistook Lenny Henry's visit to an African slum video as a Premier Inn advert?

So did I...

Glad I wasn't the only one!

Liking your last battle report Matt.  And the idea of taking causalities sounds positively philosophical.  Was it the wood elf arrows that killed the beasts?  Perhaps they would have died anyway.  Arrows piercing chests could be co-incidental.  Maybe dying is just something beasts do.

If a beastman herdstone falls over in the wilderness, does it make any noise?

How do you know that?

Really?

Sensory information is not necessarily able to support a conclusion.

You don't like that?  Well what if the herdstone was made of polystyrene?  AaaaaaaaaaaaH!!!

I have to be philosophical because I am officialy crap at Warhammer, as Ol put it this very evening "You are s**t at deployment" - if only there were more useful guidelines, deploying a table for dinner is much more structured and obvious: knives on the right of the place setting, napkins folded into the shape of the Pope's hat and sandwich tongs shoved up the butler's arse - really I can pick up a sandwich without tongs thank you! In fact I probably wasn't philosophical tonight about removing casualities, I was like a Timmy Mallet shirt - loud and obnoxious - as Lee will atest too. Sorry Lee I was in an odd mood. Plus Ol was accussing me off throwing around handkerchiefs and inventing my own stalkers, very odd (your guess is as good as mine!).

If a beastman herdstone falls over in the wilderness, does it make any noise?

This is one of these obtuse questions asked by philosphers to justify them having a function in life, when they don't. It's much like the question "If a Pot Noodle is not eaten, does it still taste like the contents of a septic tank?" - the answer to which is of course yes, it's a Pot Noodle it will always taste foul.

However to be obtuse about your obtuse first question, firstly people can be in the wilderness (check out Telford town centre if you don't believe me) so said falling herdstone could still be heard. But to get to the crux of the matter, as always iyou need to ask a physicist, if only we had one at hand - oh wait a minute I am one. So I can say, yes it does make a noise, because noise is sound and sound is a compression wave travelling through a medium (as in material, like air or water, not an average sized shirt or Derek Akorah) which occurs whether someone is around to record some sensory information or not. If it didn't make a compression wave when no one was there, this would imply the Universe is somehow sentient and only chooses to make compression waves when people are around. And any one who has seen "OMG" with Peaches Geldolf on ITV2 can surely vouch for the fact that for the Universe to allow this to exist it cannot be sentient.

Oh and would it still make a noise if it was a polystyrene, yes, you just might not be able to hear it because of humanity's inferior audio receptors.

Apologies I have a feeling that this post may read like I'm a w****r, I'm not. I'm just in a very odd mood I blame Sainsbury's Creamy Petis Pois, Green Bean and Asparagus Pasta Sauce.

One of your best posts thus far.

I am really starting to detect some Marvin coming out of Matt, brain the size of a planet, we need to work on his happiness. I think we need to have a whip round to send Matt to Alton Towers, I am already working on a VT of James Cordon with some uncomfortable looking celebrities to try to raise the money then a montage of the valentines day photos to an Annie Lennox track, it is made of win.
