Do you wear armour?

[BlackFireStorm]

Can you guess why? Do you care? (I suspect not )
Here's your clues...

- it's not job-related.
- I don't take part in re-enactments of battles.
- I keep it at home.

I'll buy a beer in the Tavern for the most original (but still clean) answer.

[Longasc]

You are probably a hobby beekeeper

You have a beehive in your garden and hornets under the roof

When both sides start their battles they do not respect the Geneva conventions and attack you, too.

So you keep your beekeeper equipment ready to survive such days.

You also have an iron gauntlet (you smash the hornet's nest regularly with it&#33http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif.

The only other reason might be that your girlfriend is a Teräs Käsi specialist (T.K. finnish for iron fist hehe), and your only chance to discuss with her is to deflect her strong arguments in a knight's armour, because you inherited it from your grandfather and you cannot afford a full kevlar suit.

You may be like me, for your sake I hope not http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif


I have a suit of armour in a shed at the bottom of the garden,
for when I am late home from the pub and the missus is waiting with cold dinner on the table.

They make rolling pins out of marble nowadays. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[MrWhipple]

Your hoby is scuba diving and you love to dive in shark-infested waters?

You get better reception on the tellie with it on?

You are into realy kinky sex? (re: that awful Excalabur movie)

You have such a magnetic personality that it keeps the flat-iron from flying across the room and smacking you in the arse.

To actually answer the question in the title yes I do. I do a lot of sealed knot type reenactments.

Oh and it's more then obvious you're an actor who does the cameo in variousa horror films where the axe almost chops up the heroine ála Scooby Doo.

[Devastatin Dave]

You're this guy

[MonkeyMan]

1. You play some form of game like cricket, Football (american) or hockey (ice too) that requires it.

2. You like cutting things up either meat that requires a chainmailed hand, or trees, kevlar trousers http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

[katar]

anyone who ever crashed their motorbike knows the benefits of a good kevlar reinforced jacket and gloves, and a nice closed face helmet http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif

[Mega Dux Bob]

I'd say:

a) You own an aggressive tomcat. This also means you wear a visered helm to bed so you do not suffocate to death when your' cat sleeps on your' face.

or is it?

b) You and your' Honey really like the Yuvian (sp?) - Uther scene from the movie Excalibur.

[Scipio]

Well for me when im trying new stuff skateboarding i wear a jock strapp just in case I think that counts as adequate armour

[Shono]

Your partner likes role playing with a tin opener

You are that famous knight who roamed the land thieving Sir Steelallot http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif sorry bad pun

You think you are an early steel sailing ship ironclad

You look like a sardine, to find out if you do not then see reverse no ring pull and you are okay.

You drink allot of armouretto

better stop before the lynch mob get me... http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

[Devastatin Dave]

You are the Brave Sir Robbin from Monty Python's Holy Grail http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Stratagos Desaix]

You practice some form of swordplay (anyone whose ever been hit with a bokken or waster soon realises the need for armour trust me http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/mecry.gif )

Good one

[DemonArchangel]

I have a lorica segmentata, a chainmail t-shirt, and of course a byzantine lamellar breastplate

[bighairyman]

well i play american football in my school team, so i guess i wear armor everyday too http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[Marshal Murat]

I know, your on the police force in Iraq and wear a bullet proof vest or ARMOR, or you drive a tank.

[Lechev]

it is possible that the armour is actually a steel pot kitchen utensil that you need to wear after coming back from a beer drinking session after work to protect your head from your wife's wooden roller(s) http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wave.gif

[Oaty]

You get laid every day by a different woman and need to keep the little soldier protected http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/joker.gif

[BlackFireStorm]

Enough already

Fertile imaginations all. The actual answer was provided by katar. I ride a motorbike, and I wear the kevlar stuff to keep all my appendages in the right place when I fall off. The clue is in my name - a FireStorm is a Honda motorbike in the UK (SuperHawk in the USA) and my one happens to be black.

Most surreal award: Shono for You look like a sardine, to find out if you do not then see reverse no ring pull and you are okay.

Best use of the internet: Daveinkorea for claiming I'm a diver walking along the floor of Loch Ness.

Most inventive: Longasc for the lengthy and detailed beekeeper prose.

I had a laugh reading them all, thanks for the input and see you all in the Tavern for a pint or two soon. Katar, Shono, Dave, and Longasc, your pints will be waiting on the bar for you next time you're in - yours may be flat by the time you get there Dave http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

NB Marshall Murat: I spell COLOUR with a U as well as ARMOUR, as it should be, not your dumb American English-lite with fewer vowels. http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/tongue.gif

[HopAlongBunny]

bah too late

[Parmenio]

Too late for my You hold up banks Ned Kelly style then... bah.

[L`zard]

Pity it's over, I was going to add the SCA,inc.; which certainly isn't reinacting any _historical_ battles, http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/eek.gif

Now that I'm old and retired from it all, I can say freely that the SCA sort of warfare is to history as bicycles are to fish http://www.totalwar.org/forum/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif There IS a conncection, but it's prolly better not to talk about it in front of the kids, eh?

PS: yes a LOT of SCA sorts wear chainmail to work. If ya need to ask, well, your prolly better off not knowing, eh? Anyway, 'tis a whole new thread.

[BDC]

You get into lots of arguments with fast, moving vehicles?
