    When selling maps on the street, you make everyone pay £3 every day for the rest of their lives in order to buy the map.

    You get a bow and arrow and using flaming arrows you use the local peasants as target practise.
    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Now that takes me back to a certain Miss. Boulanger, who was (about) 23 years old, size 8-10, long legs and a nice (black) mini skirt. At 12 Y.O. I was aroused to say the least.

    EDIT: I forgot to metion, she taught French! Good God....

    1) You sit inside your study all morning playing RTW when its a gorgeous sunny day outside. You look at your walking boots....you look out the window at the sunshine....then you turn back to your screen and ponder how to force teh Seleucids to accept a ceasefire.

    2) The countryside reminds you of certain TW maps...the way that church is nestled amongst the trees with the graveyard at the back....that long ridge with the steep slopes on one side....
    "I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."

    You do not judge people by they're true ethnic background; rather, you judge them by how rebellious their faction of origin was in your Campaign. "Filthy Gauls" (french)
    You think it is disrespectful if someone does not complement you by saying "You are the best unit your faction has to offer."
    You go out on the street and offer people map information in exchange for an alliance against those filthy Julii."
    After you tell your neighbors they are making to much noise you offer them a written treaty that declares a ceasefire. In small print it says: Accpet or we will attack.
