who knew there was anything to be proud of in Hull?

When I lived there I was told Chlamidya was airborne - a miracle of nature found only in Hull.

Well I was wrong then, that clearly must be what they're celebrating in Hull Pride!

Update 71 – Monday 11th June 2012: I'm Not a Football Fan Get Me Out of Here



This weekend saw the start of the Footbally Eurovision World Cup Thingy (see I can talk expertly on subjects I don't know about), as Europe gets very excited to see who will win Football trophies when they exclude all the good South American teams who would win them otherwise.

Previously on this blog I have talked at great length about how I don't hate Football, but generally find it easier to say you do to get out of arguments, see Update 5.

Anyway with England's first game tonight, against France (see I know stuff), you may find that you are forced to watch the game against your will, even if you are supposed to be working. For some reason you're allowed time off work to watch England play, but not to watch Cash in the Attic – it hardly seems fair. If you do find yourself in this football watching predicament, here's some my top survival guide to how to get through the game:

1) Don't at any point say "It's Only a Game" – yes, of course it is only a game. But the average football watcher won't take kindly to you pointing out the one thing they've been looking forward to for the last two years, in their otherwise tedious life, is only a game. It's shattering the illusion, like telling small children the tooth fairy isn't real (though arguably less important).

2) If possible avoid watching in a pub. Traditionally football fans prefer the pub environment for games, despite the fact that at home or in the office, you can usually have a chair, drink and actually be able to see the screen. Still the fans will attempt to take you to a pub, where you are only allowed to order drinks during half-time and there's enough testosterone in the room that it's a miracle people aren't asphyxiated.

3) Spend time enjoying seeing your normal friends behave oddly. Perfectly rational people you know, become perfectly irrational watching football at the best of times. When England play all bets are off. People you've known for years will start screaming, swearing and generally behaving madly towards people they've never ever met on the screen. During last World Cup I heard a perfectly a normal neighbour of mine shout "Lampard, you c**t!" at the screen before apologising to his wife and kids, by saying "Sorry, but he is a c**t!". As an added bonus here, you can enjoying the irony of seeing out of shape, un-athletic friends who probably would have heart failure kicking a ball, shout at people in far better health than they are at how bad they are at football. I always laugh, though remember Rule 1, laugh internally!

4) Organise a sweepstake. You might not care about football in the slightest, or about who wins the European Championship. But join an office sweepstake and find yourself swept up in the excitement of all simply because of the promise of being able to win cash. I can find myself cheering for even the most obscure of European nations for the promise of thirty-two quid should I win. Discretion on when to cheer on, may be required if your team is playing England – though you will find it hard to not radiate a glow of smugness should your team knock England out.

5) A good trick if you're fed up of people moaning that you know nothing about football is to memorise a few key facts from a newspaper pull-out. With luck someone will ask you your opinion in an attempt to mock you, and you can reply with the correct answer and wipe that smug look of their face. I'll never forget the time I picked up the cliché "The Spanish team never perform as well as they should on paper", which I regurgitated when asked on this particular team's success. Until this point I believed the phrase "jaw-dropping" was metaphorical. It isn't!

6) Why not set yourself your own spotting challenge to see how many companies have inappropriately and sometimes appalling crudely high-jacked the nation's support of England in a desperate bid to flog more of their unrelated products. This year, this has become a bit harder as the Olympics has stolen the thunder of the European Championship. Although this does add the bonus game of seeing how cunningly some products who haven't paid the Olympics for sponsorship have cleverly embodied the spirit of the Olympics without using the word Olympics. And now I've mentioned "Olympics" three times in one sentence Sebastian Coe will be coming round my house to smash in my kneecaps.

7) If all the above tips don't save you, you can always team up with a similarly unimpressed friend and spend the entire game discussing the most banal of vaguely related football things. If you are going to be made to watch the football against your will, then get your own back, by discussing which team has the nicest socks, which player you think most needs a hug, and which team the person in black is playing for. If you want to go for extra bonus annoying points, start asking football watchers what the rules are, or confound them by trying to get them to explain to you the offside rule in five thousand words or less.

8) Despite all evidence to the contrary England fans will convince themselves that this is England's year, this year England will sweep to victory and "football will come home". It won't, but this won't stop England's fans. I realise optimism to me is a stranger, but this is taking optimism to a whole new cultish level. The fans will charge in regardless, like a hedgehog convinced it can stop that thirty-tonne approaching juggernaut. And when England inevitably crash out, our England fans will be just as crushed as our metaphorical hedgehog. At this point you should avoid all attempts to reason with them, there will be more tears than at an onion chopping convention, England shirts will be burnt in the street, and the St George's Cross bunting and flags will suddenly feel about as appropriate as a Gary Glitter poster in Mothercare. Best thing you can do here is hide. Statements such as "Don't worry there's always the World Cup in 2014" will simply earn you a punch.

9) And if none of these things work, escape while you can. As long as you don't want to go to a pub you'll be surprised how deserted the streets are during an England game. You can get so much done without the tedium of others, shopping, commuting, getting your haircut – there won't even be a queue at the Post Office!
Hopefully this guide will prove of some use, and if not don't worry it will all be over within a fortnight. And very decently England will almost certainly have finished at least a week before this deadline!

Oh and good luck tonight England.

Number 8 is so true. Nothing more entertaining than watching England lose, while the fans lose the plot! 1966 was 46 years ago, and it will never happen again... Your team is above average at best, accept that and the beer will taste better and the strokes will come later.   :thumbsup:
There is no problem in life that can't be solved with Heroic Killing Blow:

Or more importantly did anyone see yesterday's cricket coverage?  It was possibly one of the most astounding bits of sporting achievement I've ever seen.

2 men, 1 ball. (and 11 more standing around mostly watching and a couple of bats and some sticks in the ground).

The West Indian rearguard Denesh Ramdin (who's actually a batsman) and Tino Best (Who's never hit more than 50 in his life) piled on a rather impressive 143 runs with the mighty Mr Best hitting a majestic 95 and in doing so became the all time single inning top scoring number 11 player in cricket.  Safe to say I was massively upset with Mr Strauss when he caught him on that 95, I was so wishing he got his 100 (admittedly his own fault for blazing away at a ball he should have left well alone, but why change what had worked all innings).  That was cricket at it's aboslute finest, the building frustration as england simply couldn't shift him, the shots he was playing were that of a proper batsmen playing in his prime and the pure unbridled joy on his face as he hit record after record shot was a thing of real beauty.

I'm a cricket fan anyway but I challenge anyone to watch than and not appreciate it for being exactly what sports should be about.  It is the strategic challenge of cricket which really gets me interested, the fact that you'll spend a good half hour setting someone up with the same ball over and over with a specific set of the field so that you can then throw a different ball and if they're not paying attention they hit it straight down the throat of that player that has been standing for 30 mins waiting for exactly that moment.  But this wasn't that strategy, this was one man doing something entirely unexpected and with pure joy on his face as he did so.  Simply a wonderful spectacle.

Steve H

Entirely agree... It was amazing! Wish Mr Ramdin had keep his illiterate note in his pocket though!!!

Having said that I am pretty excited about the football tonight - I am symptomatic of all of Matt's points about football above (to be fair, Lampard is a c%#t...)
In the style of Tom Hale... F*ck Ushabti!!!

Dave and Steve I fully agree. A cracking innings by the 'keeper and Tino. Shame about the note and it would have been an interesting game if there had been more that a day and half play. (Was it really that dark?)

Update 72 – Wednesday 13th June 2012: The Hunt is On

Back in Updates 67 and 69, you'll have seen the on-going adventures of the coalition Beastmen army as it fights out in the OG Summer Campaign. This week I had another battle, again against JD's Wood Elves, to fight in the name of Team Evil.

First up I had another 400 points to spend to top up my army, whilst keeping it legal. First step I felt was to add a Battle Standard Bearer – Beastmen leadership is generally about as high as the UK's Eurovision score, so re-rolling those all-important break, panic and Primal Fury tests was vital. I'd still probably fail them twice, but at least it looked like I was trying. So step forward Wargor Hunt, keeping the existing theme. I wanted to equip him with my favourite banner from Warhammer Armies: Beastmen – The Beast Banner, it is 75 points, but +1 Strength for a whole unit is quite useful (Strength 7 Bestigor can make a mess of even Chaos Knights).



To make the most of this banner I needed an actual unit for him to deploy in, and with my Core quota now down, I spent the rest of my points on a unit of Beastmen Gor – which I was hoping in later weeks I could expand to a full hoard of 40 Gors, at present I could only afford 22.



So the army now looked like this (new units in red):

Bray Shaman Cameron – with Level 2, Chalice of Dark Rain and additional hand weapon (152 Points)

Wargor Hunt, Battle Standard Bearer – with The Beast Banner, great weapon and heavy armour. (193 Points)

5x Ungor Raiders – armed with short bows, with Halfhorn and musician (39 points)

5x Ungor Raiders – armed with short bows, with Halfhorn and musician (39 points)

Tuskgor Chariot – crewed by Gor with spear and Bestigor with great weapon (80 points)

Tuskgor Chariot – crewed by Gor with spear and Bestigor with great weapon (80 points)

22 Gors – armed with hand weapons and shields, with Foe-Renderer, musician and standard bearer (201 points)

3 Minotaurs – armed with light armour and great weapons (189 points)

3 Razagors – (155 points)

Chaos Spawn – (55 points)

TOTAL: 1183 points – Again I couldn't add up my army list correctly, and have 17 points to carry over (thought I only had 7 – else I'd have had two more Gors)!!!



So there's the army, how would they do in battle? Poorly, probably let's find out. Apologies for the poor photos, but my wedding photographer failed to turn up so I had to use my iPhone.

Tale of Two OG's II – Tales from the Coalition Army: Battle 2

Great Bray-Shaman Cameron was annoyed, the Wood Elves still lived, they would be crushed. And worse still Bray-Shaman Osborne had done better in battle than he had. A plan formed in his mind that would deal with this problem and another. He would send Wargor Hunt his personal Battle Standard Bearer, to battle, the cultured fool had messed up many times in the herd and embarrassed Cameron enough. He would either die in battle or destroy the Wood Elves, either had its advantages. Cameron rubbed his hands with glee.

Battle 2a

Bray Shaman Osborne and Wargor Hunt joined the new unit of Gors, and began the long march towards the Wood Elf lines. Osborne summoned forth the power of the Lore of Death and attempted to Spirit Leech the Wood Elf Noble on Stag, however the power flowed too strongly through Osborne's frame as he miscast the spell. The Wood Elf Noble avoided the effects of the Death Magic, but the massive power caused a Dimensional Cascade to open within the Gor unit, Osborne himself jumped free from the hands pulling him into the Chaos Warp, or Labour party as he referred to it, but 9 Gors and the Foe-Renderer were killed and Osborne was wounded in the resultant explosion.



The rest of the Beastmen army advanced towards the Wood Elf lines, as the Ungor Raiders were shot at by the Glade Guard, surprisingly thought Osborne, the Raiders didn't flee.



The Beastmen army advanced close to the Wood Elf lines, even the Minotaurs left the cover of the hill behind confident that The Chalice of Dark Rain would help shield them from the worst of the Wood Elves feared archery. Assured he couldn't mess up again, Osborne attempted to cast Spirit Leech again at the Wood Elf Noble on Stag. However again he misjudged the power and miscast the spell, and whilst the Noble again survived the spell a second Dimensional Cascade opened. Whilst Osborne again avoided being pulled in, the resultant explosion killed him and another raft of Gors leaving just 8 of the original 22 alive. Though luckily the nearby Tuskgor Chariot survived the explosion.



At this point the large template had, had more use than any model on the table top.



The Wood Elves responded with a number of charges, the Dryads charging into the lumbering Spawn, the Treekin accompanied by the Noble on Great Stag failed their charge on the Minotaurs.



The Wood Elf Spellweaver buffed the unit with a number of Beasts spells, that the Beastmen were unable to counter without a spell caster. And without the Chalice of the Dark Rain the Razagor took a pounding from the Wood Elf archery. In combat the Dryads were too quick for the Spawn inflicting two wounds for the loss of just one Dryad.



With limited options available Hunt decided to throw everything he could muster at the Treekin, despite the buffs from the Lore of the Beasts, the Minotaurs, remaining Gors led by Hunt and the Razagor declared a charge on the Treekin. Hunt said some words that rhymed with his name, as the Razagor failed to make the distance.



The Tuskgor Chariot meanwhile was unable to join the fray due to presence of a Great Eagle which looked suspiciously like a Goose. So it charged that instead. In combat the Tuskgor Chariot ran the Goose down inflicting 6 impact hits and scrapping the Goose Liver paté off its wheels.



Hunt's initial cheers were short-lived however, as the other combats do not go so well. The Dryads killed the Chaos Spawn, and reformed to face the victorious Tuskgor Chariot.



Elsewhere the Treekin killed all the Gors and Hunt, the Minotaurs panicked by the loss of their brethren also fled, only to be rundown by the Treekin

The Wood Elves turned their attention on the remainder of the Beastmen army, the Razagor were heavily wounded by Wood Elf archery, and the victorious Tuskgor Chariot is rundown after trying to flee the Drayds.

With only a token number of Beastmen forces left on the battlefield, the second Tuskgor Chariot finally made it to the rear of the Wood Elf lines only to be shot by the quickly reforming Glade Guard.



All that remained were five Ungor Raiders who had also snuck behind the Wood Elf lines, they spotted a chance to charge the Glade Guard led by the Spell Weaver in the rear, perhaps luck would favour them and they could kill the Weaver earning some valuable retribution for the Elves. However they failed the charge and were shot by the Glade Guard.




So that was a bit of a disaster, every Beastmen lay dead in return all I had killed was two Glade Guard (through Ungor shooting), a Dryad (from the Spawn) and the Great Eagle (from the Chariot). In fact I'm not sure I remember a worse set of victory points against me!!

Battle 2b

As last week, the battle was to be played twice and the points averaged. I was confident that it would be virtually impossible to do worse than last time... was this confidence misplaced?

Osborne and Hunt decided that a different tactic was required for this battle, the Ungor Raiders and the Chaos Spawn were deployed to hold up the west flank, whilst the bulk of the coalition's forces went on the east flank.

The two forces moved towards each other, with the Razagor taking a wide flanking manoeuvre to get behind the Wood Elf lines.





With the Beastmen army encircling the foe, the Wood Elves attempted to take the initiative. The Treekin charged a Tuskgor Chariot which fled taking a wound as it ploughed through  a wall.



The Treekin then redirected onto the large Gor block – which was mainly intact as Hunt had forbidden Osborne from casting any spells. The Dryads also declared a charge on the same target, however the Treekin failed to make the distance leaving the Dryads on their own to face the Gors.



In order to help out the stranded Treekin, the Glade Guard poured arrows into the Minotaurs, two of them dieing spite of the presence of the Chalice of Dark Rain. Osborne cursed loudly!



In a repeat of the previous battle, the second unit of Dryads charged the Chaos Spawn again causing two wounds.



The other unit of Dryads spectacularly failed to do many wounds to the Gor unit and suffered badly to the enhanced strength of the Gor block, with Osborne and Hunt gleefully cutting down some trees – they liked cuts. The Dryads fled only to be rundown by the Gors.



Osborne ordered the Beastmen to take the fight to the Wood Elves now, the Razagor were blocked by the Great Goose so charged that instead. Whilst the remaining Minotaur, second Tuskgor Chariot and Gor block all piled into the Treekin.

The Razagor performed appalling against the Great Goose inflicting just a single wound in return for a wound back.



Despite only a single impact hit against the Treekin from the Chariot, Osborne and Hunt led the Gors well against the Treekin. Although the Noble pierced Osborne's heart, the withered Beastmen perishing with a scream. But it wasn't enough as the Treekin fled. Hunt, confident the Tuskgor Chariot would catch the Treekin reformed the Gor to face the Glade Guard, but was disappointed when the Treekin escaped the Chariot.



However it wasn't all lost as the Treekin failed to rally and fled the battlefield. The Dryads, who had finally dispatched the Spawn, charged at the Ungor Raiders sending them fleeing from the trees.



Meanwhile the Razagor finally killed the Great Goose, they then charged the Glade Guard, who have just been deserted by the Spell Weaver.



The second unit of Glade Guard were charged by the other Tuskgor Chariot, sensing their doom they fled but were unable to outpace the chariot and were all crushed. In a repeat of last turn the charging Razgor only managed to kill a single Glade Guard! Hunt would be stopping their feed, back at the camp.

The last turns saw the remaining Glade Guard finished off by the Razagor, and night fell as the Beastmen army played a game of cat and mouse with the Spell Weaver never quite catching her.




So the second round is over, and again it's one win and one loss to the Beastmen – which concerns me as from next week we go to only one game a week and I always seem to lose the first game!!! Oh well.

Dreadfleet Painting
Last week I promised I'd leave you with some painting, so after a break of several months I finally got round to painting up some more ships from the Dreadfleet set. Shocking I know!! Anyway first up it's The Flaming Scimitar – this is an Arabaian ship where various elementals can be summoned to support the ship. The Water Elementals (seen just emerging from the waves in case you were looking for them, can freeze to repair the hull), the Fire Elemental does damage in combat and the Air Elemental inflates the sails allowing the ship to move faster. As with the other ships I've painted (Updates 51 & 54) the matching Cog (small ship) in the same way as its parent ship:

The Shadewraith is a ghost ship, crewed by the damned souls, so repellent are they that the sea even recoils from them (we've all had that dating experience) leaving the incorporeal ship floating on a cloud of ghosts. This ship has no cog – don't ask me I didn't make the rules!
