"Welcome to the Victorian Colonial Board" Topic

You have voted, it has come into existence!

Use it wisely…

Huzzah!

And there was much rejoicing.
My next batch of free time will be searching for some threads to crosspost there.

Good News!

Jolly good show!

No, not those… those are my Fighting Trousers !

O frabjous day!

Grelber

Yee-haw!….or, perhaps, more in the spirit of the new board:

Well done, sir! By jingo.

I think we should have been warned BEFORE we voted that we would be required to use it wisely.

Much like people who casually tell me "have a nice day" and put all the onus on me to go out and somehow have a nice day!

I say, ding-dong, old chap (said in an appropriate Leslie Phillips accent)

Jolly Good Show ole boy!

Splendid! Now we need a Regency Colonial board to cover India and the early Kafir Wars.

Bloody fine piece of work old son

HARRRUMPH!!!!!

Good Show!!!!

Quite, quite….

There have been some unseemly ejaculations over this board, emanating particularly from our cousins in the colonies. Whilst one can only be touched by their naive enthusiasm one can't help but feel that a simple: "More boards. Lovely," might have sufficed.

Matron! Donovan's using dirty words again, send him to the San' for a good beating.

This seems to have instantly become a 'Carry On……' board.

Now that is definitely something to support!

Who makes a 28mm Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond?

"Carry on up the Khyber" – greatest historical drama ever filmed.

Well, the EiC did tell us to use the board wisely!

And, for Sid James in 28mm, try Mutton Chop Miniatures and check out the 28mmvictorianwarfare blogspot (sorry, I'm rubbish at links) for some incredible NWF conversions.

Excellent news--this was long overdue! Oh, and thank you kindly, sir.

I say, bloody good show…..sipping pink gin….

I say Donovan, could you restrain your ejaculations, me and the memsahib were planning on a spot of tiffing and now she's been quite put orf.

Old chap, it's Tiffin, please try to get the banter right, otherwise it'll confuse the natives and frighten the horses

"What do you intend to do, Sir?"

"Do? Do? We're British, we won't DO anything… until it's too late."

I'd wager ten guineas that's no spelling mistake, Walker old stick! There's nothing Misses Martini and I enjoy just before foursies quite as much as a jolly fine bout of fisticuffs, what with she being a capital pugilist and all (Queensbury rules – naturally old boy). We find that it gives the Earl Grey that extra shot of zing, don't you know!

And you know how that sort of thing ALWAYS frightens the natives and confuses the horses, Walker old man!

"I say, Carruthers is having carnal knowledge with a chimpanzee"

"What, a female Chimpanzee?"

"Of course it's a female chimpanzee, there's nothing strange about old Carruthers…"

"I tell you, it is spelt W -O- O-M. Woom!" said Major Brinkworth, his moustache bristling.

"And I tell you, it is spelt W-H-O-O-M. Whoom!" riposted General Pitt-Harrington with some warmth.

At that point the young carer at the retirement home brought them their cocoa. "I hope you don't mind but I couldn't help but over-hearing your conversation," she said. "And the correct spelling is W-O-M-B. Womb."

General Pitt-Harrinton stared at her through his monocle. "Young woman I don't imagine that you have ever heard an Indian elephant break wind so how could you possibly know what it sounds like?"
