You have missed the real beauty of the House scenario - House is meant to be Sherlock Holmes and Wilson is his Dr Watson. He lives at 22 Baker Street, is a drug addict and pursues diseases as though they were criminals while all the time appearing morally neutral. The Sorpranos is derivative in the worse sense of the word while House pays homage to great literature!

Jack and Larso,
You guys get around {sm4} A bit like the Scarlet Pimplenel dude popping up everywhere.
Loved the Sopranoes but found House repetitive.
See you soon and Drummer guy on hold.
Regards
Brett

More correctly John was on holidays in Kedron, which to our English friends is a bit like Essex on a Tuesday night, while I was in Hawaii lazing around a pool reading forum posts! I am in the Qantas Club in Sydney sitting next to Jack Thompson and across from Jon English. I wonder if they recognise me!

I stumbled onto this thread and couldn't agree more that the Sopranos was one of the best ever TV series. I watched it again when 7 mate was screening the episodes. The acting was spot on, there were plenty of you know what's, great story lines and quite humorous sometimes in a morbid way! There's so many great episodes, but the Russian mobster in the forest episode as mentioned was hilarious along with the Fed's trying to plant the lamp in Tony's house.
Richie Aprilo (sorry if the names misspelt) was a dark character but it was funny when he and Tony butted heads! It was a bit of a shock how he ended up being wacked by Janice (Tony's sister) of all people. I think it was because he back handed her but i can't remember what it was over. Poor old Bobby with his awesome little train set and then getting wacked in a hobby store fully of trains was another great episode. There's so many and i'll prob watch the series again if they re-run it.

Hi Jack
No, only WW2. It's not that im not interested in NAPS or other time periods, it's just that i cannot afford to collect them as well. I would also like to collect WW2 aircraft but cannot afford to do so.
Im assuming you collect NAPS?

Yes - Naps - when I walk into The Military Workshop in Brisbane I look quickly at the WW2 stuff - absolutely fantastic - but where would it end? As a newbie - I'll have a hundred figures by mid year - I thought better to collect figures only to really get a start in the hobby. I know how I think - I'll buy one German tank and soon I'll be building a house extension. I was really tempted by the Desert War stuff - something about it being a cleaner war I suspect - but I fought temptation and bought eight Scots Greys instead! I also would go the aircraft as well - Brit fighters - but again I'll buy one ground crew and then it will be on! I suspect that some of the frustration about price rises is born of the knowledge that there is so much great stuff and very few can buy everything they want. I know I can't.

To true mate, to true. I do the same thing as you when I visit Brett's shop (which has only been twice as 3 days drive is to long!) but in reverse! I'll admire all the NAPS but then buy the WW2 stuff. Yeah, there is never any real end in sight with the hobby but I have most of the 3 theatres of WW2 that I want and have been released over the years. The 3 theatres I collect in K&C are Desert (AK & EA), Normandy (Germans, Brit’s & Yanks) and the Bulge (Germans & Yanks) and this includes new release and retired items. There are some retired items that I haven’t got and prob won't collect unless they are going for an absolute bargain on Ebay or offered by another seller for a bargain price. There are also a few new release items in the 3 theatres that I prob won’t collect either. I collect other brands in WW2 as well such as Figarti, Collectors Showcase, Thomas Gunn and just started on First Legion. Once again I’ll just pick the eyes out of these brands and collect the vehicles (no figures) that I like. I know what your saying tho that if you grab one item in a series, then it’s on for young and old and you’ll end up collecting the lot and being broke (or in debt up to your eyeballs) and prob won't be able to move in your house as well! That’s why im showing restraint and not going into NAPS or WW2 aircraft (Unless I win Lotto!).
