How do they fit it all in, working so many hours a week and being a gangster?

I say! That is a good idea! But those people in the pawn shops can be rather rude in their manners. Watch your step around them old chap! Or why not go to one of those military areas? They're jolly decent I hear...

Just keeping up appearances Old chap. One actually has had the pleasure of shooting the lee enfield(no 6 i think) .22 and .45 calibre version and there both bloody good, I've also shot the sa-80, LSW and L98. Funny thing is the lee-enfield never jammed on me but the Sa-80 does.

Not so, old chap. Drivel, bosh, codswallop and rot, are correct. (Although you wrote 'pish posh' instead of 'bish bosh'. Was one's B key broken that day? I shall send Jeeves the technician around right away.)

We're looking for terms that are slightly more English. I'll give you the word 'bunkum' and allow you to find the other 11 easier-to-know words for nonsense.

Bah real gentleman use swords... and not those flimsy Kankars or what ever their bloody hell their called…
People forget that at the same time the Celts in Briton where making swords that were even better… Each one taking over 6 months to make… The End result being a sharp, heavy, strong and yet flexible blade extremely difficult to break… unlike the owe so mighty Japanese swords… .
Now that’s British steel…

Now thats British steel

One would just like to point out the facted that the celts didn't have steel. Iron yes, but steel one believes didn't come around until the early 1900s.
As for the swords the japanese blade it might light and thin, but because of how the blade is made it is tougher than it looks.
Trouble with heavy swords in battle is you will be moving this peice of iron round at high speed for a couple of hours. If you run out of energy you are almost sure to end up dead.

Japanese swords are designed to be sharp, stay sharp and cut through pretty much anything.

The English broadsword, for example, is designed to have a relatively sharp edge, but then the weight of the blade pushes it through the armour and flesh of your would-be assailant.

It's all a question of finesse. If you try to parry with any Japanese sword, you end up without a sword, because they break. Don't believe all these Japanese movies, where people go about parrying and leaving absolutely no marks on the blade at all.

Ah yes Sorry... British 'Iron' then...

I really don't like this obsession growing amounts of people have with Samurai swords... it’s as if it’s the only kind of sword that looks cool...
Good lord it pisses me off...

I mean as Coop pointed out their not as practical as they are made too look in films…

One is sorry for a lack of posts recently.

And yes, these japanese swords really cant cope with armour. But let us speak of more dignified matters, with Coop83's permission of course.

Don't listen to what Primalblood says, since steel was made in small quantities from as early back as the 1400s. (Possibly even further back) During the industrial revolution, they came up with a way to mass produce high quality steel. (I never thought that Industrial History would actually prove to be useful, but there you go.)

Not the stongest teabag in the box of Twinning's, are we sir? One guesses that the rough translation of your 'language' is "I am interested in evil girls and 'overly-friendly' ladies. *Re-trimming One's Foliage, Lightly Contemplating Our Precious Time Ambling*"

Sir! One is not ammused by such activity, nor shall the other members be! Begone, scoundrel!

cheers old bean now all i need is a foreigner of a short stature to accompany me on my quest and to serve me tea and crumpets as and when required.

Quite so such common behaviour is not tolerated...

I bet I could beat you. I could travel around the world in less than 80 hours. Though, since you are a luddite, you seem to be alergic to modern technology. Honestly, what is the point of having all this money and nothing to spend it on?

Coop, it seems that you have not been a proper gentleman in hounouring this fine fellow's challenge!

*Glove Slap to Mr_Blue_Sky*

Would sir care for any particular 80 decades? Or shall we just be a tad random about this all?

Okay, your first decade shall be 1060s, followed by the 1810s, the 1910s, the 1940s and any decade of your choice from the Jurassic period.

Do we have the holy archive of Google at our disposal for those compeditors who smelt most foul (stank) at their Year 8 history tests? (ie. Oneself) Also, shall we follow the decades in chronological order, and what modes of transport are at one's disposal? One has a very fine tardis in need of repair, though the bill for such a service was frighfully large. Most frightful, I say! One hopes that this laws-of-physics-breaking venture shall fund the repairs of one's tardis upon completion of the challenge.

However, I feel that we need a non-competing invigilator to mark out the rules, and the tea and coffee making facilities. (One is assuming that Coop wishes to participate in this gentlemanly event) Tally ho gents, we shall need your applications post-haste if you wish to have a spot of sport with this 'EGC Crew' event. Pip Pip!

Whatever happened to my 'nonsense word' challenge?

Ah a nice choice of different war zones. Lets see we have the battle of Hastings and Stamford bridge, followed by the end of the Napoleonic war. Nice but what would a history of death be without the first world war and most of the second.

I shall invigilate, since the original challenge was not issued to me. Start with the 1060s (Think the battle of Hastings) and we shall only use transport which was used at that particular timeframe. (Tardises, or should that be tardi shall be used to transport competitior to the relevant timeframe.)

Spiffing!

*Goes off to 'bling' up his tardis*

Now we shall need a date to start. We also need to make sure Mr_Blue_Sky and other compeditors drop in regularly. ( I have not seen Blue_Sky for a few days.) We must keep this event running smoothly, chaps. (If he opts out, anyone willing to step in?) Also chaps, could someone plan out our route? One would like to know one's obstacles before arriving, though it's likely we will make it up on the spot.

One also wishes to document our travels through ye olde medium of Flash, and I will present the final movie once we complete the event. I shall use the tardis to submit to the thread across time and space (and order pizza), so you shall not be left in the dark.

*Loads Flash installer into the Tardis disk drive*

One is terribly excited. There's this, and Wallace and Grommit in a few weeks. Here's hoping one finds the time to see it, eh wot! Tally ho!
