Sorry, don't mean to take this more off topic but.....

U.S. Customs puts higher tax/tariffs on Doll(s) and Hasbro tried to get around it by calling it an "Action Figure". The case went to court and the judge ruled that the Action Figure is actually a doll.

But back to my original point in my first post. You have a nice grip on the situation

Nice one.

BTW, I'm always happy if this AAR goes OT. Part of the enjoyment as far as I'm concerned.

A retired barrister living in a French chateau who's into American westerns. What a conflicted soul you must have.

I can only hear SillyFlower replying, "You're no "Daisy" if you don't"

But he is a very nice guy (and Sillyflower is very impressive). Just check if you have a dinner scheduled with him that that the restaurant is open [;)]... Loches is very quiet in the evening...

+1 Before he went on his French idyll I had the pleasure of having lunch with Monsieur Sillyflower, and he is one of the nicest people that you could ever meet.

I'm not conflicted. Wanting to live in a castle and liking westerns both betray a mental age of 8. Also a career as a litigation lawyer is inconsistent with the possession of a soul. It is also inconsistent with being 'nice'. As I once told a new senior client who was a bit taken aback when I described a document she wanted to publish as 'rubbish', she was paying me to be right, and if she wanted nice I would find her a different lawyer. She decided she preferred 'right'. Still it's good that I can fool people for a brief period.

Anyway, this is what I really wanted to be:

I want so bad to join the fun, but, too dumb to be clever.

I did think of something, but then I forgot.

Charlie: you just have to remember that men don't grow older. They just become more important.

I suppose that a return to the game is in order.

T109 No pics as not a lot to see. The Bolsheviks didn't make any real attempt to break either pocket so 2 rifle xxx, 1 cav xxx and 2 sapper regts shuffled into the HIWI recruitng camps. Whole turn losses were 13.8K v 135.3K, air 40 (only 11 G) to 318. G OOB 4.38M (up 30K in the last 10 turns +1.5M allies excluding the few remaining Italians to 5.64 R (down 30K from 10 turns earlier. Most importantly, my recent turns gained the 2 baby factories in Tikvin.

Brian has heavily reinforced the north so I will have to find somewhere else to annoy him. At least Brian can't guess what I'm thinking because I have no idea what to do.

Thank goodness --- I thought for a moment that you wanted to be a..........Lumberjack!!!
I'm a Lumberjack

The Python skit "Dim of the Yard" on YT would also have been a good choice. An engine driver, me!

Not my thing, but my partner in 'the Pros' when we played Wite as a team was Belphegor. He claims to have a far more cerebral career than chopping trees, but he's Canadian so almost certainly has a hankering for a bit of lumberjacking.

Your choice of words never cease to amaze me hehehe, hankering

For some unknown reason, your post reminded me of the old BBC TV series 'the Borgias' - about the famous family which provided renaissance Italy with popes and general corruption and mayhem

The Pope's mistress: "Why don't you talk to me any more"?

The Pope: " Because I cannot talk in 1 syllable words all the time, you do not understand 2 syllable words and 3 syllable words make you cry".

Considering the banter lately. I might assume that all is quite on the Ladoga front? [8D]
