Bloomin' 'eck! That map of America is starting to look like the 'before' guy on a Clearasil advert! (lots of red dots...) and OOOH! I have a crazy person from S.America. Not Brazil though. Would have been nice to have a Brazil Nut...

Yes anyway. I am here, in the blog again to relate to you a wondrous tale of magic and heroism! It begins with a walk home, and ends with the MSN nickname (fancy typography coming up) :
Victim : 'Drive-By Kissing'
Man I love those buttons! Anyhoogan, I was walking home from school last Tuesday, when about minutes before i actually reached the car, i could hear the cheesy female singing from a car. Very remniscient of Leanne Rimes's number. Anyhoo, I walked past, not the least bit interested in this car, other than it could have stood to trned the volume down just a shade. The traffic moves on, and, cars being naturally faster than the average bear....or human, the car overtakes me. As I'm walking up to it I see the passenger lean out and look back at me. I take little notice in this, seeing as these people have NO musical taste.
I then reach the traffic lights and the crossroads. As I am waiting patiently to cross, the car drive off past me, but as it does so, the passenger leans out of her window and... blows me a kiss...
Freakish no? Scared me at least...

Rooting through my documents, i came across what WAS going to be the post on the 21st of September, but i abandoned due to time constraints. Anyway, this is it:
"And onto Friday (no photo's in this one either!)
I apologise for the vagueness of this post, I need to get to the present...
I went to Sarah's, reaching her door at 10.42. I stood outside her door for 5 minutes having rung the bell thinking "I'm late i'm late, she's gonna kill me she's gonna kill me OHMYGODI'MONFIRE" until she opened the door. Two things struck me instantly, and to be honest i'm very surprised one of those wasn't her fist.
1) "You're EARLY!!!" What, wha-hangon, no I wasn't!
2) Sarah had just got out of the shower... Ri-ighty ho... Ahem... blush, do not ogle...
Well, anyway, we sat and talked (cue inverted commas gesture *hemhem*) for a while, until Sarah's friend Helen turned up. Then, halfway through making lunch (during which many incidents of comic hilarity ensued) Sarah's friend Sarah turned up."
-
Thrilling no?
Once again this weekend I was in Oxford once more with my beloved Sarah. Still a very nice place. Most of the early afternoon was spent with her attemptig to buy me clothes (attempting being the operative word here, i am very difficult to shop for.) Eventually we returned to college, me having 3 more t-shirts than I had when i arrived (one vaguely nerdish! It has the microsoft logo on it!). That evening in the building there was a 'part-ay' scheduled. The apparant theme of this was "Angels and Devils or Pimps and Bitches". To be honest, I think Sarah passed for both Angel and Bitch, (no offense m'dear), but i think she leant slightly more to the angelic side of things. At least it meant that I , with no prior knowledge of this event, had the perfect costume to match her angel. I just wore the Microsoft tshirt. Angel/Devil!!!
Take that Gates! Just call me Brother Malcolm OSX!!!
Sunday. I managed to take of Communion twice! First in the college proper, which was possibly the most stuffy and boring service I've ever witnessed (and I'm Anglican...), and then again at St. Aldates church across from the college. Now that was one heck of a service! I very wierd cross between CCC and Soul Survivor, not least becuase last week they had Mike Pilavachi there, and thier main worship leader is Martyn Layzell...
I then left Sarah, slept all the way home and started doing two of my essays. 1 i finished, the other im still doing. Bloody Stanislavski...
Can you believe I started this post on Friday?
Few new links. Sophie, Helen and Sarah's blogs now appear, along with the revival of the Deity Chronicles. Have some fun people!

October 27, 2004
Sigh, blogger was being a bit of a rectum this evening. It denied both myself and I'm sure many other people the joys of logging on onto their blogs to posts, or even being able to read their favourite publications. Sigh.
First off, before i get down to the post proper, I'd like to say a hello and thank you to the two people who have visited me from Australia (or at least have Australian IP addresses...) and the many people who have visited me from Europe and the US of A. Though apparantly none have been visiting from the UK, which is silly becuase I know I have (unless it doesn't count me...). Still, thank you for reading! (notice I refrained from saying 'G'day' in that paragraph! Not one for steroptyping me.) Actually, what if I did rely only of stereotypes?
So, as I strolled down the road today after a delectable crumpet and tea for one's breakfast, I realised, much to my utmost dismay, that I had left my bowler hat resting on the mantle. Quick as a flash, I opened my brolly and flew back to my humble mansion in Kensington. After that hilarious episode, I got on the locomotive bound for France (See where I'm going here? - DickyBod (don't say france you plebs...)). Ah, 'twas a most joyous journey, including a hilarious story about a muffin! Truly amazing!
We then arrived in French-land, where I espied many a man wearing a blue and white striped jersey, a beret, and with a string of onions around his neck riding a bicycle! How strange...
Ok, gonna stop there before i get complained at...

Another dud trip to London today! Since many people may not know who these delightful people are, I will include the group photo now.
This, is the group photo. Click, and be enlightened.
From left to right : Stephen (Baz) Julia/Jules (Astrojaxx) Tom (Moolb) Richard (Nonnesuch) Dave (Teradud) Dave (Deutsches) and Jon (Megatrobe).
Got that? Ok.
As Baz was so happy to point out so well in his blog, I didn't get there on time. I apologise, especially to Jules and Tom, who I know where just dying to meet me (me being the wonderful and fascinating guy I am) but 'tis a good tale, which of course means good blogging.
5 am - I am hit on the nose by a cat. Repeatedly.
7 am - Mother comes and wakes me up in preperation for not being late
8 am - Cats have fight... on me...
8.15 am - Cat #2 pushes speaker for hi-fi off of windowsill.
8.30 am - Alarm goes off. Hit snooze button to go off again in 10 minutes, then again at 8.45 then again every 5 minutes.
10.20 am - Wake up. SH*T!!!
10.30 am - Have 15 heart attacks after running to station, in time to miss the train I would have been missing if it had not been delayed by 3 minutes (good fortune bestowed on me by Otis, possibly in preperation for the dispicable greater-evil he will eventually inflict.) Be thankful I got that train duds!!! If I hadn't I'd have been an HOUR and 40 minuets late! MWAHAHHAHA... aaaaaaaaaaanyway.
So, I got to Charing Cross, and having been threatened with a hammer from the Baz, I gathered with the rest of the duds, glanced my eye over Jules and Tom (who, if you hadn't realised, I had never met) and followed on the oddysey.
First stop! The British Library. This one was slightly odd, but per request of Tom, who apparantly has a 'thing' for books. I ain't borrowing one off of him for a while... Outside there was a lovely agent of Otis, obviously placed as a Sentinel for the Library, that the evil teachings he made may never be disturbed. He seemed to be having a great time drawing circles. Inside, the brilliance continued to even greater heights. First up, a fantastic bench, in the guise of a book! It appears to be devouring two elderly people... scaaaaaaaaaaaaaaary!
Yes well, moving on. In an exhibition, we saw many brilliant things! Such as: The Beatles! No kidding! Sorry it blurred a little.... Next up: a renaissance cyborg! Now that is an outfit I aspire to own! THink of the good you could do! You could be a superhero!
Good things about being a literary cyborg:

Good things about being a literary cyborg:
- Planks of wood at side of head prevent side attacks
- Small right handed hammer, to deal out justice and whack non-believers
- Left handed giant penknife! Look out for the 2005 USB version! Allows for close up sword action
- Utility belt, including : short swords and long knives, throwing knives, and a bible to convert them before you kill them... or deal justice.. whatever...
- Large reading stand/torso armour.
Ok, enough of this. Also, we saw a typewriter. BUT! This was no ordinary typewriter! Ooh no! This was a typewriter with far too many keys than was nessacary. One's for different fonts, italics, accents, punctuation, a row of numbers that went up to 15... Madness. Look at the bloomin' (blurréd?) keys! Ludicrous... and not the rapper...
I saw a book that I believe suited Sarah rather well. I did look for a copy in the bookshop afterwards, but alas...
Then we came across (on our search for food after the library) a shop that I never believed existed. I had always wondered where Burberry could be bought. I had realised that no shop i knew actually sold the damn stuff, so I came to the conclusion it homed in on the idiocy in peoples minds and then spawned upon them like some fetid parasite. Which indeed it is. But, i was then incredibly shocked when, horror of horrors, this shop hoved into view around a corner. A veritable Chav stronghold/spawning den. After resisting the urge to commit arson, we moved on. After a rather horrific meal in Burger King (be still my palpitating heart) we decided to trek to Trafalger Square. Being from outside the M25, Jules and Tom were unused to the rigours of City life. I was of course horrified to discover they weren't country bumpkins or hillbillies. But anyway. In Trafalgar Square I took a photo of an old police phone box (TARDIS functions deactivated unfortunately) which also was the first coherent picture I'd managed to get of Jules all day. Lord knows I'd been trying hard enough... My previous best attempt was this one , but she blinked dern her!
We then went to the Science Museum (after walking past the V&A), where I got a previously shown picture of the USS Enterprise and The Next Generation's Captain! (I love that photo :D)
Anyhoo. I also managed to get a picture of the Edison Televisor! Such a better brand name! Sorry for the blur on that one... we then left, due to overcrowding of Little People (children, as they are better known) and went next door (a lot) to the Natural History Museum. Not much happened here. More munchkins, lots of cepholapods, and a large, anorexic ground sloth.
Then, I became assured of Otis's evil intent. He had placed agents through London to track us, even hiring the aid of that notorious evil-doer Keyser Soze, hiding in a bookshop window amongst the Tintin books.
And that was Dud trip to london!
Have a nice vening. Must sign off now, things are going mad....
October 25, 2004
Greetings those in the 'blog reading world! I have decided to blog again! Isn't that hoopy?
"Hey, you sass that hoopy Ford Prefect? There's a frood who REALLY knows where his towel is!"
I'm going to spend the rest of this evening unwinding slightly, since fullscale war takes it outta ya. So, just sitting here, listening to Wuthering Heights (freakingly good), waiting for Photobucket to stop being an arse, then i shall write up this post, write a CV, phone Sarah, go to sleep, wake up, go job hunting, taunt/congratulate the baz, answer the phone to Sarah, go to sleep, go to london, come back, phone Sarah, go to sleep, wake up, go to Stompp's, come back, answer the phone to Sarah, go to sleep, wake up, do zilch Friday, hopefully go to Oxford (if i can do the blooming organisation this time) come back, go back to school.
That's a rather full week. How's photobucket doing?.... Woo, it actually worked! Now the next 15...
What should i do to entertain you?... I'll do some singing!
I ain't happy, i'm feeling glad
I got sunshine, in a bag
I'm useless, but not for long
My future, is coming on
I ain't happy, i'm feeling glad

Dark chest of wonders

Of the one with pure heart
Once, so long ago
Still going... Erm... Back to Gorillaz
Finally someone let me out of my cage,
Now, time for me is nothing cos im counting no age
Now i couldnt be there, now you shouldnt be scared,
I'm good at repairs, and Im under each snare,
Intangible
bet you didnt think so i command you to,
Panoramic view
Look i'll make it all managable
Pick and choose, sit and lose, all you different crews
Chicks and dudes who d'you think is really kicking tunes?
Picture you getting down in a picture tube
Like you lit the fuse
You think it's fictional, mystical, maybe
Spiritual, hearable what clears your view when your too crazy,
lifeless to know the definition of what life is,
priceless to you becasue I put you on the hype sh*t
you like it?
Gun smoking
Righteous but wanted
Psychic (something)
Who possess you in one go

DAMN still going! My voice is starting to give out! Oh no.. Just done! Woo ok!

If you think the next sentence is too geeky stop reading. I won my first battle of Warhammer 40,000 (the 'toy soldiers' dear) today! And even 1200 points on opposing teams. Here follows the battle report :
Imperial Guard Vs Eldar Ulthwé and Chaos World Eaters.
Initial Deployment : Ulthwé and CWE - Imperial Guard
Turn 1
Imperial Guard
Movement Phase
The IG instantly moved it's Chimaera behind the protective cover of a burnt out fortified wall, dropping off the unit inside.
Shooting Phase
The Leman Russ tank fired its turret at the Eldar Black Guardian First Unit, the hit reducing the squad of 8 to a mere 1.
Assault Phase
-
Ulthwé and World Eaters
Movement Phase
The Khorne Bezerkers moved forward first, closing in on the Chimaera's position, Kharne the Betrayer and 2 Aspiring Champions leading the squad of Bezerkers and Bloodletters. The Defiler did not move, nor did the Predator tank. Ulthwé moved all troops forward, the Vyper Jetbike flying ahead to initiate an early strike. The single remaining troop of the unit marched ahead bravely, while the Dire Avenger Aspect Warriors caught up with the Wraithlord.
Shooting Phase
No Ulthwé troops were in a position to attack, and thus utilised thier Fleet of Foot ability to run ahead, finishing, for a time, the massive advance. The Twin-Linked and side-sponson mounted Lascannons on the Chaos Predator fired in synch, disabling all weapons of the Imperial Guard's Sentinal Walker. It then fired it's Havok Missle Launchers at a nearby unit, killing one of the humans instantly. The Defiler braced itself, before firing it's massive Battle Cannon at the same squad. The calculated shot left 6 immobilised on the floor, relying only on thier internal Bionics to survive.
Assault Phase
-
Turn 2
Imperial Guard
Movement Phase
Four of the troops living only on Bionics live long enough to realise that they are no longer working.
Shooting Phase
The Leman Russ continued it's barrage of devastaing fire from it's main cannon, aiming for the Dire Avenger unit. However, it's inaccuracy caused it to miss, the shot straying to a formation of rocks, that exploded in a shower of gravel.
Assault Phase
-
Ulthwé and World Eaters
Movement Phase
Alone, the single troop of the devastated unit makes a break for safety, running further form the battle. The rest of the Ulthwé force storm forward, the Vyper gaining an impressive lead. The Khorne units continue thier stoic march, the Bloodletter Daemon stomping ahead in an impressive display, closing the gap on the Chimaera. With almost the entirety of both forces forward, the pressure on the Imperial Guard position is mounting.
Shooting Phase
Out of range with both the Bright Lance of the Ulthwé Wraithlord and the Lascannons of the Chaos Predator, the only chance of a shot this turn is lost.
Assault Phase
With a mighty roar that split the air, the Daemonic Bloodletter charges on the Chimaera unit.
Turn 3
Imperial Guard
Movement Phase
-
Shooting Phase
Once again, the Leman Russ fires it's massive cannon, it's aim true. One Dire Avenger is immediately destroyed in the explosion, the rest survive to tell the tale. The blast falls also on the Wraithlord, it's armour proving ineffective as the pilot is injured.The Chimaera unit stand ready to face the challenge the massive hulking form of the Bloodletter. With superb shooting, they injure it.
Assault Phase
The crew then rushes the Bloodletter, closing the gap of combat, attacking it at a melée postion. They injure it further, it know sits on the brink of death.
Ulthwé and World Eaters
Movement Phase
The entire Bezerker squad rush forward, heartened by the deaths of many at the hands of thier daemon. The Eldar follow suit, all units but the Vyper advancing.
Shooting Phase
The Battle Cannon of the Defiler once more lets fly, the shot smashing into the middle of once Imperium Guard Squad, leaving a further 8 on their Bionics to sustain them while they lie on the ground. The Predator fires all Lascannons at the Leman Russ, the massive hail of fire stunning the crew inside. The Havok Launcher fires far wide of it's target, leaving the Eldar to continue the maelstrom. However, both the Wraithlord's Bright Lance and the Vyper's Shuriken Cannon bouncing off of the armour with little effect. The Seer Council enters the fray. The Warlocks Augment their powers to the 3 Farseers, extending the range of their potent psychic abilities. However, repeated attempts to disorient the Leman Russ and the Sentinel with the powerful Eldritch Storm prove ineffective.
Assault Phase
The fierce melée between the Bloodletter comes to a shattering end, when the daemon is killed by a well placed attack.
Turn 4
Imperial Guard
Movement Phase
After the massive amount of disabled troops were left on Bionics in the unit after the Battle Cannon hit, none were left for long. 2 troops that had been fighting the Bloodletter also met the same fate, the squad by the Chimaera being reduced.
Shooting Phase
For what would turn out to be the final time, the Leman Russ fired, it's shot killing four of the remaining troops of Guardians.
Assualt Phase
-
Ulthwé and World Eaters
Movement Phase
The Dire Avenger and Guardian squads moved into a position where they could easily move to engage the enemy in long range combat. The Wraithlord moved forward into a closer position, to extend the effectiveness of it's weapons. The lone soldier from the first squad finally retreats off of the limits of the battlefield. The Bezerkers follow in the footsteps of the Bloodletter, finally in a postion where they can finish what the Daemon started, and finish off the Chimaera unit.
Final Positions
Shooting Phase.
Finally, significant gains were made in the battle for the Eldar and Chaos forces. After a moment of prioritising and strategising, the attack begun. The first Farseer's power was augmented, allowing it to begin a Mind War with the Imperial Guard Psyker. The battle of wills was lost by the Imperial Guard, and the effort cost the psyker his life. The second attempt at augmenting failed, but the third successfully Augmented the second Farseer. The Eldritch Storm from the Seer Council span the Leman Russ to a position were it's rear armour was then exposed; a critical move that spelt the rest of the conflicts destiny. The Predator shook the crew, but the Leman Russ's destruction was integral to the success of the battle. The Vyper jetbike fired 3 shots from it's Shuriken Cannon, two slamming into the side of the Sentinal, destroying it instantly. The Wraithlord then stepped in to finish what the Predator has started. One shot from the Bright Lance penetrated the armour of the Leman Russ, and finally, the vehicle was destroyed. The Guardians and Dire Avengers ran forward, finally in a position to fire back at thier foe.
Assault Phase
The Khorne Bezerkers moment had come. A lengthy battle at close combat ensued, Kharne the Betrayer first entering alone, closely followed by his men. The struggle ended with 4 of the Chaos Marines and 8 Imperial Guard dead.
Turn 5
Imperial Guard
Movement Phase
The Chimaera moved out of it's cover to attempt to head off the remaining Khorne Bezerkers while Kharne killed the rest of the unit, with both a Psyker and a Commissar dead.
Shooting Phase
The Chimaera fired one heavy Bolter at the Bezerkers, but missed.
Assualt Phase
Seeing imminent defeat, Commisar Yarrick, the hero of Armageddon, began a hasty retreat to safety, chased by Kharne, determined to finish the fight, leaving only the remnants of the Imperial Guard force to face the full force of the enemy.
Ulthwé and World Eaters
Movement Phase
The Guardians moved into range with the enemy, the Dire Avngers close behind. the Vyper remained stationary, already in effective range, while the Wraithlord stomped into range of the Chimaera. The Khorne Bezerkers ran forward to attack the unit behind the Chimaera, many even climbing over the tank in order to reach them.
Shooting Phase
The Guardians finally opened fire, along with the Dire Avengers. The unit of 3 was instantly cut down in the hail of Shuriken fire. The Predator saw it's chance to do it's share of damage, firing all weapons at the Chimaera. The blast ruptured the engine, and the tank blew apart in a massive fireball of wreckage. 8 of the Khorne Bezerkers in the vicinty where blown apart, leaving only 5 of the squad alive. The Havok launcher fired at the remaining unit, killing 1 of the troops. The Vyper followed suit, killing two with its massive Shurikens. The Imperial Guard were left with only 3.
Assault Phase
The remaining Khorne Bezerkers charged, joined by Kharne, surrounding the remaining Imperial Guard. The assault was quick.
TOTAL ANNIHILATION
All Imperial Guardsmen died, the only survivour being the 'hero' of Armageddon, Commisar Yarrick, who fled.
Ulthwé lost only 12 Guardians and 1 Dire Avenger, one Guardian fled.
The World Eaters lost all but 4 Khorne Bezerkers, one Aspiring Champion, the Defiler, the Predator and Kharne the Betrayer.

The Khorne Bezerkers moved forward first, closing in on the Chimaera's position, Kharne the Betrayer and 2 Aspiring Champions leading the squad of Bezerkers and Bloodletters. The Defiler did not move, nor did the Predator tank. Ulthwé moved all troops forward, the Vyper Jetbike flying ahead to initiate an early strike. The single remaining troop of the unit marched ahead bravely, while the Dire Avenger Aspect Warriors caught up with the Wraithlord.
Shooting Phase
No Ulthwé troops were in a position to attack, and thus utilised thier Fleet of Foot ability to run ahead, finishing, for a time, the massive advance. The Twin-Linked and side-sponson mounted Lascannons on the Chaos Predator fired in synch, disabling all weapons of the Imperial Guard's Sentinal Walker. It then fired it's Havok Missle Launchers at a nearby unit, killing one of the humans instantly. The Defiler braced itself, before firing it's massive Battle Cannon at the same squad. The calculated shot left 6 immobilised on the floor, relying only on thier internal Bionics to survive.
Assault Phase
-
Turn 2
Imperial Guard
Movement Phase
Four of the troops living only on Bionics live long enough to realise that they are no longer working.
Shooting Phase
The Leman Russ continued it's barrage of devastaing fire from it's main cannon, aiming for the Dire Avenger unit. However, it's inaccuracy caused it to miss, the shot straying to a formation of rocks, that exploded in a shower of gravel.
Assault Phase
-
Ulthwé and World Eaters
Movement Phase
Alone, the single troop of the devastated unit makes a break for safety, running further form the battle. The rest of the Ulthwé force storm forward, the Vyper gaining an impressive lead. The Khorne units continue thier stoic march, the Bloodletter Daemon stomping ahead in an impressive display, closing the gap on the Chimaera. With almost the entirety of both forces forward, the pressure on the Imperial Guard position is mounting.
Shooting Phase
Out of range with both the Bright Lance of the Ulthwé Wraithlord and the Lascannons of the Chaos Predator, the only chance of a shot this turn is lost.
Assault Phase
With a mighty roar that split the air, the Daemonic Bloodletter charges on the Chimaera unit.
Turn 3
Imperial Guard
Movement Phase
-
Shooting Phase
Once again, the Leman Russ fires it's massive cannon, it's aim true. One Dire Avenger is immediately destroyed in the explosion, the rest survive to tell the tale. The blast falls also on the Wraithlord, it's armour proving ineffective as the pilot is injured.The Chimaera unit stand ready to face the challenge the massive hulking form of the Bloodletter. With superb shooting, they injure it.
Assault Phase
The crew then rushes the Bloodletter, closing the gap of combat, attacking it at a melée postion. They injure it further, it know sits on the brink of death.
Ulthwé and World Eaters
Movement Phase
The entire Bezerker squad rush forward, heartened by the deaths of many at the hands of thier daemon. The Eldar follow suit, all units but the Vyper advancing.
Shooting Phase
The Battle Cannon of the Defiler once more lets fly, the shot smashing into the middle of once Imperium Guard Squad, leaving a further 8 on their Bionics to sustain them while they lie on the ground. The Predator fires all Lascannons at the Leman Russ, the massive hail of fire stunning the crew inside. The Havok Launcher fires far wide of it's target, leaving the Eldar to continue the maelstrom. However, both the Wraithlord's Bright Lance and the Vyper's Shuriken Cannon bouncing off of the armour with little effect. The Seer Council enters the fray. The Warlocks Augment their powers to the 3 Farseers, extending the range of their potent psychic abilities. However, repeated attempts to disorient the Leman Russ and the Sentinel with the powerful Eldritch Storm prove ineffective.
Assault Phase
The fierce melée between the Bloodletter comes to a shattering end, when the daemon is killed by a well placed attack.
Turn 4
Imperial Guard
Movement Phase
After the massive amount of disabled troops were left on Bionics in the unit after the Battle Cannon hit, none were left for long. 2 troops that had been fighting the Bloodletter also met the same fate, the squad by the Chimaera being reduced.
Shooting Phase
For what would turn out to be the final time, the Leman Russ fired, it's shot killing four of the remaining troops of Guardians.
Assualt Phase
-
Ulthwé and World Eaters
Movement Phase
The Dire Avenger and Guardian squads moved into a position where they could easily move to engage the enemy in long range combat. The Wraithlord moved forward into a closer position, to extend the effectiveness of it's weapons. The lone soldier from the first squad finally retreats off of the limits of the battlefield. The Bezerkers follow in the footsteps of the Bloodletter, finally in a postion where they can finish what the Daemon started, and finish off the Chimaera unit.
Final Positions
Shooting Phase.
Finally, significant gains were made in the battle for the Eldar and Chaos forces. After a moment of prioritising and strategising, the attack begun. The first Farseer's power was augmented, allowing it to begin a Mind War with the Imperial Guard Psyker. The battle of wills was lost by the Imperial Guard, and the effort cost the psyker his life. The second attempt at augmenting failed, but the third successfully Augmented the second Farseer. The Eldritch Storm from the Seer Council span the Leman Russ to a position were it's rear armour was then exposed; a critical move that spelt the rest of the conflicts destiny. The Predator shook the crew, but the Leman Russ's destruction was integral to the success of the battle. The Vyper jetbike fired 3 shots from it's Shuriken Cannon, two slamming into the side of the Sentinal, destroying it instantly. The Wraithlord then stepped in to finish what the Predator has started. One shot from the Bright Lance penetrated the armour of the Leman Russ, and finally, the vehicle was destroyed. The Guardians and Dire Avengers ran forward, finally in a position to fire back at thier foe.
Assault Phase
The Khorne Bezerkers moment had come. A lengthy battle at close combat ensued, Kharne the Betrayer first entering alone, closely followed by his men. The struggle ended with 4 of the Chaos Marines and 8 Imperial Guard dead.
Turn 5
Imperial Guard
Movement Phase
The Chimaera moved out of it's cover to attempt to head off the remaining Khorne Bezerkers while Kharne killed the rest of the unit, with both a Psyker and a Commissar dead.
Shooting Phase
The Chimaera fired one heavy Bolter at the Bezerkers, but missed.
Assualt Phase
Seeing imminent defeat, Commisar Yarrick, the hero of Armageddon, began a hasty retreat to safety, chased by Kharne, determined to finish the fight, leaving only the remnants of the Imperial Guard force to face the full force of the enemy.
Ulthwé and World Eaters
Movement Phase
The Guardians moved into range with the enemy, the Dire Avngers close behind. the Vyper remained stationary, already in effective range, while the Wraithlord stomped into range of the Chimaera. The Khorne Bezerkers ran forward to attack the unit behind the Chimaera, many even climbing over the tank in order to reach them.
Shooting Phase
The Guardians finally opened fire, along with the Dire Avengers. The unit of 3 was instantly cut down in the hail of Shuriken fire. The Predator saw it's chance to do it's share of damage, firing all weapons at the Chimaera. The blast ruptured the engine, and the tank blew apart in a massive fireball of wreckage. 8 of the Khorne Bezerkers in the vicinty where blown apart, leaving only 5 of the squad alive. The Havok launcher fired at the remaining unit, killing 1 of the troops. The Vyper followed suit, killing two with its massive Shurikens. The Imperial Guard were left with only 3.
Assault Phase
The remaining Khorne Bezerkers charged, joined by Kharne, surrounding the remaining Imperial Guard. The assault was quick.
TOTAL ANNIHILATION
All Imperial Guardsmen died, the only survivour being the 'hero' of Armageddon, Commisar Yarrick, who fled.
Ulthwé lost only 12 Guardians and 1 Dire Avenger, one Guardian fled.
The World Eaters lost all but 4 Khorne Bezerkers, one Aspiring Champion, the Defiler, the Predator and Kharne the Betrayer.

Hello dear readers!
You may notice a slightly different style of communique today. Anyone wish to hazard a guess at why this is? I'll give you a couple of seconds to think about it....
No? I would have thought it was obvious. It's because I'm not Richard!!
Yes, this is Sarah, Richard's girlfriend and author of the wonderful Duckyblog. You can go there now and read it if you like. You'll find a post by Richard there!
Richard is currently sitting on a rather hard bench in my room at Oxford. He got the Oxford tube up here earlier today (after missing several trains and his stop) and then wandered round central Oxford for a while trying to find my college rather than telling me he was here and letting me fetch him. Eventually I got a text saying
From this I surmised that he was probably in Oxford and set out to find him. I had no credit with which to reply, which led to me getting this message a few minutes later,
I borrowed Lara's phone and texted Richard telling him to phone me and tell me where he was. He was, in fact, right outside my college, so I went and collected him and we have had a wonderful day. We've even had our first date!!! but I will leave the rest of the story for Richard to fill in at a later date.
Goodnight fair readers!

AS he lay on the floor in his final moments of life, i relieved him of his Semi Automatic and ran for cover in the McDonalds around the corner. The Manager of the store came out, brandishing a substandard BigMac and a white boxing glove,and ran to'ard me in a frenzied state. With mere seconds to act, I ran behind the counter and knocked him out with a McChicken Sandwich. I then did an act so horrific UN officials would be vomiting over their copies of the Geneva Convention : I force fed the unconscious manager the BigMac. Leaving the Special Sauce to do its work, I saught my next victim. I found my next target purchasing the last copy of Final Fantasy X-2 in Game.

So hey, why not make a compilation of it? I'll try and make sure they're not in context. Enjoy! (they'll go from earliest to latest)

"Ah, another funpacked day! Several Armed militants attempted to storm the Glades in Bromely today.I was just leaving Ottakers having purchased a rather spectacular yarn about the life of Partario Jenkins, when an MP5 Automatic was pointed in my face. Grabbing the barrel, I twisted the weapon out of my aggressors grasp and fired twice at his body. AS he lay on the floor in his final moments of life, i relieved him of his Semi Automatic and ran for cover in the McDonalds around the corner. The Manager of the store came out, brandishing a substandard BigMac and a white boxing glove,and ran to'ard me in a frenzied state. With mere seconds to act, I ran behind the counter and knocked him out with a McChicken Sandwich. I then did an act so horrific UN officials would be vomiting over their copies of the Geneva Convention : I force fed the unconscious manager the BigMac. Leaving the Special Sauce to do its work, I saught my next victim. I found my next target purchasing the last copy of Final Fantasy X-2 in Game. I ran, as though time had slowed, into the store, and wrestled the shopper to the floor. A fierce ten minutes of martial arts skills later, i hurried out victorious. My journey continued..." - 'nuff said!

On friday Dave, Lewis, Baz, The True Dave and I went toodlepipski once again to the merry old captial of this country that is London Town. I got up at 8.45, and was at West Wickham station by 9. After waiting around for a while for the true Dave, I got on the train. After a quick walk around the train, I realised to my vague amusement that I had in fact got on the earlier train. Realising my error, i got off at Eden Park and waited for a quarter of an hour for the correct train to arrive. During this wait I talked to The True Dave on the mobular telephone system, and took a photo of the view from Eden Park station, which looked very nice at that time of morning. I then got on the train, and sat with The True Dave and Jon. As was familiar practise, Dave and Baz got on at Clock House, and we met Lewis at Charing Cross.
After leaving Charing Cross, we walked for a while down the Strand (it wasn't a beach or anything) until we came to Somerset House with it's many itty bitty fountains and Inland Revenue signs. At the back of a statue of some big-wig was Psalm 1v3, whih I thought was interesting even if noone else does.
A further distance along our walk we came to the Royal Courts of Justice. As we continue on our constitutional, we came across a variety of rather amusing things in the various shops and other places. These included the precursor to legal Mp3 downloads, an inexplicably amusing tavern name, Rumpole of the Bailey in mannequin form, some familiar names of publications, one heck of an old cheese, and finally a shop that was both the Nirvana of Jon and the bane of Baz.
We then came to the BBC shop, which had many a brilliant BBC DVD, including Noggin the Nog, The Very Best of Brum and Pogles Wood. NOSTALGIA AHOY! Eventually we came to St Paul's, which some smelly person had drawn on with pencil!!! Turning a corner we came to the wobbly Millenium Bridge. Very nice little bridge it is too. Lewis had a lot of fun slowly trundling down in the lift for disabled people, allowing this very ethereal like piccy to be taken.
This paragraph will make no sense if you aren't my girlfriend, so you might as well skip it. I then walked off from the duds, remembering where I was in relation to the Globe. Ahh, sweet memories, and at least I discovered that the man on the mobile had FINALLY moved his behind elsewhere!!!
Ok anyway. we then decided to cross the bridge, but Baz, Jon and Lewis had decided that going up the stairs to the bridge was far too troublesome, so they took the lift instead (look closely, you can see me with the camera!). As we crossed the bridge, we saw a rather amusing sight... a portaloo... in the middle of the Thames. Once the bridge had been crossed and we had laughed most jovially at the water-loo (thanks for that one Baz hehe!) we entered the Tate modern, in which I found the most ambitious modern art project I'd ever seen. Breathtaking no?
Who donates money to museums? The Tate modern seemed to have got their strategy very wrong. Their donating tin was designed in such a way that it made it look like they had more money than they actually did. Now surely they should have made it look as though they had very little money, so people would feel pity and donate? Pah, I know not. Though it must be said, the Donating tin not only had quite a bit of money in it, it was also much better to look at than the rest of the exhibits...
We then left, after Jon took a photo of some plaque or other. The decision was then made to go to lunch. On our way past the Globe we not only saw more hideous uniforms than my primary school had (I mean it Stompp), but we also say Rik Mayall! I unfortunately got a picture of neither, which was a bit of a moo. As we walked past some market or other, most of our party felt the urge to buy a VERY delicious chocolate brownie (except for Lewis, who bought 3). As we walked past the Clink i took a picture of the dead person (I'm sure he didn't mind) and we then carried on to Lon on Bridge (no kidding) where we got on the tube bound for Charing Cross, in which Dave looked very grumpy, before weilding a fake lightsaber in order to scare me. I was unfazed though. No padawan can go against such a master as I.
After lunch (which was very nice) we went to the science museum, where Mrs Future was being shown the elctric cooking machine while Mr Future came home from work in his helicopter machine. Highly laughable. I then beat the Baz at a game of the original Pong (nostalgia was a high point of this London trip) before we trundled off up the stairs, where I had a sex change from a doctor who obviously had no qualifications, since I ended up looking like a severe traffic accident victim.
7 photos left to go!
As we made to leave the genetics bit, I tripped over a baby that lay cowering on the floor, which thankfully turned out not to be real. Before we went up the stairs to the next bit, I took a photo of what could be should the duds descend to the hellspawn of teenage culture. Look, aren't they menacing? E-e-e-vell! Anyhoo, we then went up the stairs to were there was possibly the reson for the duds existence. Apparantly, the year 2020 (as we were continuously told, ironically since the projector was burning my eyes) is a place where:
- Men can give birth to babies
- Nanomachines can attack lung cancer
- Cars can drive themselves
- Extinct animals can be brought to life through modern cloning techniques
- We can determine the sex of our unborn babies
- Robots look after our children
All these scenarios were played out in the form of jovial games, which were almost educational. Not only did it highlight the pros of these technologies, but also the cons:
- The men will most certainly die
- The nanomachines will kill bloodcells as well
- Cars, like the computers that drive them, crash
- Most embryos go into oxen or a large wastebin
- The game is far too confusing to win, unless you're Dave
- The robots steal the babies' toys, bump them on the head, and break their ankles.
The last one is no joke. We ended up with 15 bumped heads and 11 broken ankles! ON BABIES!!! the robot's jovial smile was very similar to that of a clown's, sinister and almost certainly psychotic. Still, that robot was no better than the babies' parents. Shudder...
The duds had great fun shaping the future using this console, even if it was only to plot major worldwide domination. The future's bright. The future's very blue...
We then left said Science Museum, and went to the Natural History Museum, where we saw a large mass showing cleavage.
After a quick coffee from Starbuck's (darn Americans) and the brownie, we went back to Charing Cross, and for the first time I went home with the duds, as opposed to hanging around London for a time with Sarah. Sadness and depression... And she only gets Martin Layzell as a worship leader! Darn her!!

Well, I've had a very wierd couple of days. Yesterday I went to school (you know, that old thing) and had a day of lovely learning and grim rain (which was darn cool since we were doing a rain dance in drama!). The fun for monday really started during maths retard. RETAKE even, yes, that's what i meant. I left fifteen minutes early, and trotted off on my route home, but took a right early and went to me dentist person. Who is a charming chap! Anyhoo, I sat in the waiting room reading Henry V, and then i went and sat in one of those really cool dentist chairs (where can i buy one?) and looked around the room and generally enjoying myself. Then I got all numbed up in the gums, and lay back while Mr Dentist man drilled away merrily, hoping against hope he's never seen Marathon Man.
A quick walk back down the road with a numbed mouth later, i was buying my tickets to go and see Sarah. In retrospect, it was a rather saddening conversation I had with the ticket man:
Me: "Hello"
Mr Ticket Man: "Hello"
Me: "I-"
Mr Ticket Man: "West Dulwich?"
Me: "Oh, yes thank you."
Brings a tear to my eye. Especially since I payed for a return and didnt use it. Gah! I sat on the platform and read Enduring Love for a bit, got on the train, went to Sarah's (at a rather late time. I got there at 5.15...)
Just in case any of you don't read her blog, or mine, or have total amnesia and should be placed somewhere secure, Sarah is:

Just in case any of you don't read her blog, or mine, or have total amnesia and should be placed somewhere secure, Sarah is:
- My girlfriend
- 18
- (at this point in the narrative) about to leave for Oxford
Point no 3 meant that this particular meeting would be our last before indeed she did leave. So of course, my visit was mainly to assist her with the final remnants of packing (remnants? She'd done nothing!!! I kid i kid....please don't kill me...) So, i was there until half past 10, savouring every moment, realising at about 7.30 i was no longer numb, and then i was given a lift home.
I remembered to spend about 2 minutes wandering around her house saying goodbye to all the things I wouldn't see for some time: the cats, her sister, the dining room, the living room, the fish. I even reconciled with the kitchen. Quite a depressing jouney home, not helped by both Chris and Mum looking at me as I came through the door and saying simultanously saying "What time do you call this then?"
I then spent an hour texting Sarah (thats not a series of texts back and forth, i mean i spent an hour writing 1 text. Well, 6... but all read in order to make 1...) then went to sleep, only to wake up at 1.05 to find i had left my Cd player on and that i had a message. I read, turned off my CD, and went to sleep.

Now today was fun in that i had to go and get my brace fitted. Which now hurts. A lot. So much. SO F*CKING MUCH!!! OW! Oh, and of course I blogged hehe :D

"I started trying to track down the origins of this idea but then I realized
that my sweater was completely unraveled. Still, a bunch of bloggers with
cameras are having fun with it so here goes: Ask your readers to think of three
photos they'd like to see posted to your blog. (Things around your house or
whatever.) When you have enough requests, post them!"
What a neat idea! Ok, Im gonna do that! Send your requests on a postcard, with your name and address, (on your telephone number) to the comments section of this post. When i get enough and get the photos together I'll post them here! Bouncy no? This place could do with a gimmick

The last couple of days have been rather mad really. I'll go with the interesting bits about friday. As I have no lessons for the first 2 hours of school, I usually toodle off home for the morning.
Journey To And From School Count : 1
It was when i was at home I sat on this device of computer wisdomry and began tapping out my Textual Analysis essay on Gladiator (due in by the end of the day). I also did a bit of foruming, and would have blogged had I mustered the effort. Then I printed off the essay, rather later than i would have liked to, and walked to school for my two lessons of the day. First up, English Literature, a delightful romp through Act 1 Scene 2 of Shakespeare's King Henry V. (That's the number five, his name wasn't Henry Violetta or anything silly like that.) That was all well and good, until i got another essay set to do for next week, and has to be handwritten! Shock, horror!
Essays To Be Done For Next Week Count : 4
Then Drama, in which we studied Artaud, who is a nutter. The roles I played for the lessons exercises were :
- Half of a mug
- A quarter of a revolving door
- A fifth of a lift
- A watercooler
- A curtain rod (guest starring: my jacket as a curtain)
See? Total nutcase. We then had lunch and registration. Fairly easy to guage how boring they where. I then walked home.
Journey To And From School Count : 2
But wait! Here we encounter a twist in the tale! Look all of... oooh not very much up a bit. Remember that Gladiator Essay that had to be in for the end of the day? Guess what I'd forgotten to do? I practically ran back to school, getting into school only 3 minutes after the 3 o'clock bell, and handed in my essay. I then walked back out of school, where I had possibly the most interesting journey home from school I've had for a while.
First off, someone had crashed into the traffic islands at the end of the lane, causing one hefty traffic jam. As i was walking home, I passed my next door neighbour as he was walking home with his friends, so I clipped him round the ear. Seconds later, I went to cross the road to go to Wendy's house (who hasn't blogged in a while I see...), but as I stood waiting for a lull in the flow of traffic, I was jostled by a midgety Year 8 friend... acquaintance of mine. I crossed, went to Louis's, where I confirmed when my next essay was due for, and booked his little brother for high treason, slander against the school, and verbally abusing a Sixth Former. Ahh, good old power! Then, I went on my way, stopping at the newsagents opposite the swimming baths and purchasing some Fanta, where I bumped into Theo, a wierd little person who has attracted his own 6th Form fan club. a brief chat later, I went on my way, where I FINALLY got some credit on my phone, and home.
Journey To And From School Count : 3
I did some of my next essay, and went to Sarah's house, where i stayed until my mother came and picked my up at 10.30. So all was good for Friday.
-
On Saturday, I woke up, did some things, ate lunch, had bath, went to Sarah's. With the boring bit out of the way I can concentrate on the interesting portion.
I got to Sarah's believing I was 40 minutes late, only to find I was 20 minutes early. Not quite sure how I managed to do that, but at least it was better than my mother wanting to take me up there at 11, and me being 4 hours early. I got in, and went to find a sheep staring out at me from Sarah's bedroom door. I recognised the sheep instantly as the one Baz was giving to Sophie, and in the room, lo and behold, was Sophie herself. So we all sat chatting for a while, until Sarah decided it was about time she ate some food (to which I concured) and we went downstairs. We sat in the kitchen just vaguely basking in the conversation, until we were sent to buy some baguettes. At the end of the road, Sophie departed for the station, so there was the obligatory semi-tearful goodbye between them while I stood safely out of the way.
(By the way, she got the sheep Baz)
Me and Sarah then walked through Norwood highstreet in search for the much needed bread. Once purchased, we returned to her house, spent some time moving the furniture for the social event taking place later in the evening. We then sat in her room being normal, until about 8 when we were all downstairs watching some old home videos (which were a very amusing insight into the past of Sarah, somewhere I now have visual confirmation of). Then the first batch of visitors who I'd never met entered. I can't remember the parents names, but the daughters were Hannah and Sarah (I think...). Both very nice people, whom I had only previously seen:
- In Sarah's photos of Spain
- In one of the video's of a holiday when they were 3 years younger than they were now. Sarah's hair... scary...
Seeing embarrassing moments of these strangers' pasts was a good enough way to break the ice in my opinion, and the rest of the evening with them was slightly more relaxed than it normally would have been with me (What have you done to me?!). I was a little put out towards the end of the evening when Hannah's boyfriend (on the phone at the time) didn't remember me when i distinctly remembered him. Tch...
Anyhoo, they left, and i slept in Sarah's living room to be woken up :
(Sunday)
At 8 o'clock by Sarah's visage 3 inches from my face. Not what I was expecting to be honest. Then we did the usual morning routine, went on a bus to Bromley, went to CCC, came home, went on internet, and wrote this blog! Now for those darned essays!
TuttyBye!
