In the same way my D&D group decided to stick with v3.5 after trying v5. We like 3.5 and how it works. If it ain’t broke…

It’s why I never ‘bought into it’. There’s constant ‘updates’ and supplements designed to make you spend more money or become uncompetitive. It’s manipulation, pure and simple.

The ST TOS episode ‘The Balance of terror’ is the war movie ‘The enemy below’ set in space. Look at the similarities. The Romulans are the submarine.

I’ve given up on the ‘new’ Dr Who. I really don’t like the writing. I’m sticking to my ‘old’ DVD box sets. I loved the colourised Troughton adventure on BBC4

Thank you. That’s me on the footplate of the Flying Scotsman just after she arrived in Edinburgh after the big rebuild. I was very happy and full of life! 🤗

Looks like my first Airfix kit build as a boy. Would have helped if I had read the instructions first.

It’s not the fact that a unit might fail, it’s the fact that it happens far too often (1in 9 on average and -in 36 for blunder) and when it does nothing else can then move. I find it very frustrating and it makes me angry. If it was 1 in a 100 I could live with it but the existing system is crap
