"makes a new geeky friends.... its nice!"


i recently had an epiphany. Pretty much the overwhelming impression i have when i look back at the period since i started wargaming is how many friends I have made.

40k has led me DIRECTLY to two people i would class as "Close Friends" as in i see them at least once a week and am i very regular phone/txt contact and at least two others i would class as "Casual Friends" that i text once or twice a week and see every couple of weeks in person.

not to mention another certain person whom i speak to via FB chat almost daily (Mr M-T-L himself...)

but on the grander scale I think back to just about everyone i meet/have met at Lenton, in other stores and a decent majority at the club i used to go to (which was ruined by a small but very powerful clique of Fantasy players who were, to a man, Twat-Bastards) have all been very decent, cheerful, friendly people.


The other week i left my Jaguar unlocked by mistake outside the Lenton HQ for HOURS.... and found no one had even noticed.. in Nottingham, the so called crime capital of the UK.


At the club i used to leave my phone, my car keys and all that stuff virtually unatended and so did everyone else.


in the epic que for FW stuff at the recent Forge World Open day i got chatting to quite a few people (and got harangued by one weirdy virgin mental who you just KNOW had his dead mums pants on) and generally have found just about everybody (adults only) to be friends iv not met yet (ugh)

so as a group i say-


GEEKS, I SALUTE YOU!
