As some of you may have noted, I bought a 1976 kawasaki kh250 to renovate. It should have an owners manual under the seat, so im looking for one.

a bargain or what.......

i actually have a copy of this book, expect this one to end around £50.
madness for an old wargame rulebook... good read though!
noticed that you were into warhammer and stuff
my 16 yo plays a vid game called age of empires - but 'hammer is with figures isnt it?

yep, im more into it for memories from my youth (last year!). all my friends who played moved away, so now i just collect all the old novels and rule
books. got quite a pile built up! the books are actually quite good, if you like reading. not played a real battle in 8 years now...
maybe more. ah
well. better things to play with now.
age of empires is a great game, surely you have played it too?! different to warhammer though, WH has no civilisation side, just war. age of empires
is more about research and resources.
Joel,
I wondered if it was Warhammer from some of your Avatars- I recognised a couple worryingly enough. Didn't like to ask though!!!!
Used to be into it as a kid- but haven't really touched it in 10 years. Still hear about it though as a friend at work is really into it
still.
I actually went into my local Games Workshop nearly a year ago and it had barely changed. Same type of gimboids as 'regulars' and same pushy
staff. Only thing that had changed were the prices were even more inflated. You're now paying more for plastic figures than I was paying for
metal! Okay, so that was 12 years ago but has inflation really had that much effect?
Bunch of tossers at GW really- exploiting kids with the constant need to change/upgrade armies/games whilst at the same time paying staff a pittance.
I was offered a weeks work there once whilst staff were on holiday. For a 40 hour week they offered me 60quid! "Well, you get a good staff
discount". Wicked!
Strangely enough I turned them down!
All I can say is thank God I gave it up when I did- it's an even more expensive hobby than this!

I havnt played a video game since sonic the hedgehog on a megadrive 10 years ago.
Might be great for some, but I see video games as a total waste of time and effort. As I did rubik cubes, puzzles and crosswords.
Unless I can see a worthwhile outcome for the expended effort, I cant be bothered.
Finishing a crossword, or scoring 560,189 on "megablaster 2 the revenge" has no interest to me.

i must be my filthy mind but i counldn't help but laugh at this one steve
That's why I do crosswords. Anyway it's fun making words up to fill the spaces . Favourite clue:- Marine animal, two words 5 letters and
3. Ships cat. Postmans round, how many letters? a bloody great bagful.
There's one for a B2 on there

you must have a strange mind cos I dont understand that.
It could however also apply to relations with the opposite sex
how many drinks / chat up attempts per bonk at the bar perhaps. But then i've been married 24 years and am not into pickup games either!
Mind excercise - a guy at work does puzzles, rarely finishes them. Thats what would do my head in. I like to see a clear plan and a decent chance of
success - vid games and crosswords more often than not end in stalemate. Once ive spent 2 hrs trying to get Sonic to jump up a hill, im bored.

A buddy that rides bikes was after a paddock stand on Ebay. The cost in the guys shop buy it now was £20 and the muppets were bidding 25 and 28 from the same boy!!!!!!!! Lost the plot
