Thanks for commenting (at least the p...Hi Charles,<br /><br />Thanks for commenting (at least the positive bits anyway !) 😁<br /><br />Regarding the point on this episode I will honestly have to listen to it again as I don't remember anything that I would consider untoward.<br />The problem that I have is that it is very much my intention to add some humour into a hobby that at times can be pretty boring. As soon as you introduce humour into any situation there is a danger that someone would find offense. I think without the attempts at humour and the spontaneity of the guests it would be half as popular as it is.<br />I take on board what you say and I will listen to the show again to see if I can identify the issue, however after 120,000 downloads this is the first comment mentioning anything like this. Some of our Brews in the Binyard are close to the edge a d I give a warning at the start of those (I wouldn't want kids listening to some of those), maybe I needed a warning on this episode but anyone who knows Rich knows what he is like.<br />All three people in that episode are in their late 50s or early 60s and have a very different view of what is funny to someone younger.<br />That's not to say I would deliberately be offensive, context is away key to me, as you say we were being lighthearted and I think that is key to the show.<br />Glad to hear you will keep listening, as I say I never mean to be offensive, unless you use round dice and then you deserve it 😉😆<br /><br />Regards KenYarkshire Gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02187334713976374889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039901276449290352.post-67970455368159143602024-02-29T12:05:18.895-08:002024-02-29T12:05:18.895-08:00Thank you, I hope to take a holiday in Italy soon ...Thank you, I hope to take a holiday in Italy soon and visit myself.Yarkshire Gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02187334713976374889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039901276449290352.post-26763620137674183642024-02-29T11:56:44.628-08:002024-02-29T11:56:44.628-08:00Ken,

I s...Ken,<br /><br />You asked for feedback so here is some.<br /><br />I should start by saying that I have enjoyed your podcasts. I think that you are an excellent interviewer who manages to bring out a lot from your guests. The topics are interesting, flow well and are never boring. I have recommended your podcasts to some friends.<br /><br />However, (isn’t there always one), I found the recent podcast with the Two Fat Lardies team a bit disturbing, in particular the continuing references to women’s underwear. I understand that it was meant to be lighthearted and I’m coming to this from the perspective of good manners rather than a PC agenda. My test is - would my wife or daughter (or me) be embarrassed if they heard this and my answer would be yes. Perhaps I am unduly prissy but there was a lot of good stuff and work being done by the guests to expand the hobby and I think that it would put some people off. <br /><br />I will listen to future podcasts but I hope that this helps. Please carry on the good work and feel free to delete this if you don’t think it is fair.<br /><br />Regards <br />Charles Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039901276449290352.post-74362529547123525212024-02-29T04:18:26.813-08:002024-02-29T04:18:26.813-08:00In the Museo garibaldino in Mentana you May see O...In the Museo garibaldino in Mentana you May see One of the two original pope army zouave uniform of the Battle with hat, and many original Garibaldi army uniform of the Mentana battle you May search in internet "museo garibaldino Mentana" search imageAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039901276449290352.post-54484962102410049382024-02-16T01:19:37.460-08:002024-02-16T01:19:37.460-08:00Cheers Ant,

The blue is actually Blue Grey, Vallejo do a number of colours and I work upwards from Dark Blue Grey.<br /><br />The decals come with a mix of styles, the cross and the blue is always on the decal, they are applied over white so anything white on the figures are transparent.<br /><br />Hope that helps<br /><br />Regards Ken <br />The Yarkshire Gamer <br /><br />Yarkshire Gamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02187334713976374889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1039901276449290352.post-88484228088882817582024-02-16T00:49:20.782-08:002024-02-16T00:49:20.782-08:00Hello mate,

This is exactly the look I’m looking for! <br />Maybe there’s already a place where you’ve put how you paint your minis but I’m interested in how you’ve gone about your white? It’s the first time I’m attempting it. <br />Secondly, what blue did you use alongside the white? Lastly, I’ll probably get those battle flag transfers for the cross. Do they come as simply the gold cross transfers or are the transfers themselves have a blue and white background? <br />Apologies if this is a lot years down the line.
