Never did fathom out how adults can do that 're-enactor' thing. It's like kids playing 'japs and commandos' but you have to do the battle like it really was....without the grime, the gore and horror of course....

"You're dead"....."No, I'm not"......"f*ck you, you are"....wack, bang, ouch....

You're the one who keeps saying you've never got the hang of the growing up stuff Razz

So why shouldn't they have fun playing their games. Some of them pride themselves on being history buffs.

"You're dead"....."No, I'm not"......"f*ck you, you are"....wack, bang, ouch....

That sounds like the Australian Army training in the late 70's LOL

It's just the mere thought.....

"Bye darlin', I'm just off to get dressed up and play at soldiers. Boy am I going to kill some of them damned yankees today. Bang bang, you're deid......OH Dog\'s Doo Dahs.....the mobile phone's ringing.....can we just stop the battle for a few moments, it's my finance manager...."

The funniest thing about your comment is that JB has a mate who was into re-enactments and was a consultant on some movies about the American Civil War, and he said this has on occasions happened.

The only reason Ron is going on about it? is because(he wonty admit to it) he ACTUALLY took part in the original/ he just hides his age well?

......if I had, reckon I'd have been one of the yankees......they were the ones that wore blue, right?

(and just in case KatieMc is hovering around....)

....but I reckon these confederate types were really nice people as well.

Very Happy
