My geek bahmistva

What ho pip pip and all that

So today is a significant event in the life of any geek. Their first Comicon. Unfortunately it is in Telford but hey ho I'm working up to London. I decided I would throw myself in at the deep end go for a cosplay nothing exciting just a vague steam punk costume (which hopefully you'll be able too see if the iPhone app works)
Any way tata for now I'll most likely post tomorrow after the trip



Comicon, The Vietnams and my up and coming 21st

What ho World (the very few of you who read this)

Look i know it's been a while since the Comicon posts. I must say I was a little underwhelmed by it but then again it looks like i may be going to the London Comicon in the Summer (fingers crossed). I will try and upload some photos in a later post but I need to ask permissions of people in them.

so topic number one done and done

Topic number two then.
Time to don my hipster hat. I have come across a spiffing group called the Vietnams. I don't know if anyone else has heard of them but they are very Mumford and sons in their sound, here are a couple of their demos for your delight and delectation.


Jimmy Boy (demo)



Expectations (demo)


If you are one of my few readers go give them a listen and a share.
anyways time to stop being one of those dirty hipsters and talk about some medieval weaponry/technology

So as you can probably guess from the 3rd topic in the title my 21st birthday is mere months away... I know I'm thinking about this far to early but you know what I'm excited so SHUT UP. Anyways I would appreciate some input from any of you guys. I have two ideas of what i would like for my 21st. I have two ideas these are a Bardiche or an E-Reader

 I hear none of you asking what a Bardiche is but you know what... too bad. if you've read this far you can put up with my rambling style for a few more lines. A Bardiche is basically a Big Russian war axe 



As some of you may know i'm a medieval reenactor and to get one of these made by a decent Armorer would most likely last about 10 years so it would be a long term present and hell its metal so I can always hang it above the fireplace or scare the shit out of burglars. so what do you guys think E-book or a big axe?

anyways Pip pip world don't forget to leave a comment if you enjoyed the ramblings of tired caffeine deprived me

a VERY wet weekend

Watho pip pip and all that

Well as promised another post for the blog after a very very wet weekend I have returned with the lose of a tent and some camping equipment

this was at the re-enactment event i was meant to attend this weekend it was subsequently cancelled (one wonders why) however this being a multi period event there some of the more surreal events of the weekend was seeing a group of SS Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler working alongside the second red army guards unit to push caravans and cars out the mud.

however the worst casualty and in my opinion the funniest was my Copy of Jules Verne's' Twenty Thousand Leagues under the sea

any way tata for now speak again soon

Camping in the British summer

After a long hiatus of post I've decided to once again to start posting

So what have I been to I don't here you asking. Too bad I'm going to tell you and that is FUCK ALL with the lack if jobs I have had no money to anything I know exciting right!!

The one thing I have managed to go to a few medieval reenactment events which means I get to enjoy the recording breaking temperatures this some has to offer.... Oh my mistake that is the rest of Europe.

Anyway am meant to be saving my battery for the weekend so I'm going to sign off tata for now world
