  1. A few thoughts mate:

    - The combined activities have definately been my fav events of the year. We must ensure we keep up the momentum in 2010!

    - I'm thinking some sort of Space Hulk and/or 40k event is due sooner rather than later

    - Good to see I've had a bad influence on things other than my own bank account!

    - will make sure my first Uncharted Seas fleet is something other than Human

    - reloaction of Man Caves seems to be the doen thing in recent years!
