Just a quick thing for some period colour:

Some really very nice things in there, all with far too high estimates...

Sorry Guys, been flat out with very busy shifts of late, post to follow shortly... Andy

By the way, I should tell you all that my wife will be gving birth to our second child in (in theory) about a month. However, anything from now on is considered a normal pregnancy. So if I suddenly stop posting for some time, that's why. I'll try to put up a post when the happy day arrives.

[andyw666]

Oops, sorry guys, been doing lot of travelling for work of late, will start posting a bit more regularly now. And Taavi, yours is the best of all possible excuses!

[Taavi]

Is everybody still on board the good ship Grant's? It's been some time since anyone other than myself and andyw666 posted. Have I not given enough clues/cues to go on, are you losing interest, or are you just really busy?

[WinstonP]

Busy, not sure what Poole would do besides call it a day, and kind of assuming you'd had your baby.

[Taavi]

No baby yet...

[WinstonP]

Best of luck when the little one does come.

I came across this bit of colour for a London game- Polari, a sort of Thieves Cant for gays, part coded language part secret handshake

[andyw666]

*LAUGH* Polari, that's very cool. But what are you implying about our little cabal of bookhounds!!??

[Bookman]

Sorry, sorry, been totally rubbish, and with out even the excuse of children (nice Taavi, best of luck with the new one). I will blame slightly the lack of reception and connectivity in Devon and Norfolk though, and those pesky family members who expect you to spend time with them instead of trying to write out time lines...

[Taavi]

Hi all,

No baby yet, but the doc says within a week, no more than two, and preparations are chewing up most of my time. Sorry for slow posting.

Thought I would mention Pelgrane are having a sale on Trail of Cthulhu PDFs for Lovecraft's birthday: http://www.rpgnow.com/index.php?cPath=8 ... e_id=31059

[WinstonP]

Best of luck with the soon-to-arrive baby, Taavi.

[Taavi]

Baby! Ettien Xuan, boy, 3.52 kg. Excuse me while I go all mushy for some time.

[WinstonP]

Congratulations!

Hi all,

I think it best to set some definite dates rather than saying "I'll resume sometime". I'm likely to have more time on and after Monday 24th September. So Grant's is now officially on vacation, and will resume on Monday the 24th.

Cheers James (Taavi)

[andyw666]

Huge congrats! Well done to you and family!

And copy the pause, shall wait impatiently.

Cheers,

Andy

[Taavi]

And... Action!

[AndrewTBP]

All right, Mr. De Mille, I'm ready for my close-up.

[WinstonP]

I'll post about Rev. Poole's evening soon. Glad we're back!
