Has it really been seven months?

Well, hard to believe but I last posted to this blog in February. I have some updates to come.

Dr Who - Shaun White

Shaun White

Man On The Street - Retail Operative.

Background Concept

Shaun has worked in his local electronics retail store since leaving school. He's fairly conscientious in his work but life seemed to be passing him by. That is until the mannequins in the boutique next door seemed to come to life and began attacking passers-by. Finding previously untapped courage, Shaun aided a woman shopper and the next thing he knew, he was being chased around Basildon by annoyed shop dummies until he came across the strange little man who seemed to be flitting through space and time in a portaloo. Shaun's not sure that he likes his new life but at least he doesn't have to get out of bed early on Saturday's.

A break in routine

Sorry for the delay in posting an update. Had a busy week in real life, including finding an old friend on the internet and having some car trouble. Got off track a bit but I plan to post another character tonight.

Funny that...

Since posting Alan Hasell's Jedi character here, he and I have met up on Facebook and he's now joined our Forum. Fate or something.

A Quote: "Who, me?"

Note: The image is mine, not one of Alan's choice but he seems to fit the character.

Character of the day - For Alan

Today's character was created by an old gaming friend called Alan Hasell. Alan moved away to Worcester many years ago and we've since lost touch but I always think of him fondly. Alan was about the only person I ever knew who could understand the rules of Champions as well. So this one's for him, an old D6 Star Wars character.

Countdown To Orlando

So, a slight change of pace from the character postings. As hinted at in my first post of the year, we are taking a family holiday in Orlando, staying at the Walt Disney Resort. We're staying in the Port Orleans hotel and everyone is now getting really excited. We fly from Gatwick on May the 5th. This is our (mine and Carly's) second visit; last time was in 1989. Obviously having Maddie adds a whole new level of excitement. During our stay we will be swimming with Dolphin's at Discovery Cove, visiting all the Disney Parks, Universal Studios, Seaworld and Busch Gardens.
The reality is hitting home now as we actually booked a table in a restaurant in the Contemporary Resort for the first week of our stay so we can get a good view of the fireworks at Disneyworld while having dinner. Lots more excitement to come and i'll be sharing the build up here and then posting our journal when we get back.
