Year Two

Me and Roman are planning to celebrate Tally-Ho Corner’s second birthday in the traditional Hampshire manner. In the very early hours of Sunday morning, Little Nell, our Bedford Rascal, will quit her cosy horsebox and commence a pell-mell tour of the lanes around Bramley End. Who’ll be driving and who’ll be using the office .410 to pepper any passing road sign that sports a number ‘2’ has yet to be decided. In the light of what happened to a local Jane Austen statue during our last birthday ‘thunder run’, I’m rather hoping I get to ride shotgun this time.

Friday Foxer #105

Every Friday at 1300 hours, Tally-Ho Corner’s cleverest clogs come together to solve a ‘foxer’ handcrafted by my sadistic chum and colleague, Roman. A complete ‘defoxing’ sometimes takes several days and usually involves the little grey cells of many readers. Don’t be shy. All are welcome to participate.

Solo Foxer #104

Unlike the formidable Friday foxers, the Monday kind are designed with lone truth sleuths in mind. While Roman, my Chief Foxer Setter, would be very interested to know how long it takes you to defox today’s brainteaser, he requests that the comments section isn’t used to share solutions or drop hints.

A2Z

A is for Alphabetised wargame, sim, and site news. Once a month, assuming I can persuade Austerity’s Blackburn Cirrus Bombardier engine to perform the miracle of internal combustion, I spend a day or two scouring Simulatia and Grognardia for stories with the potential to fascinate, startle, cheer, dismay or amuse. Those stories are then dehydrated, alphabetised and delivered, via articles like this one, to people who’ve got better things to do than plough through puff and platitudes.

Whodunnit Foxer #1

Roman, my Chief Foxer Setter, isn’t willing to commit to a Whodunnit Foxer every Wednesday, but hopefully we’ll see at least one a month from now on. Intended for both solo and co-op play (If you intend to tackle it on your tod, don’t read the comments!) each one contains five pieces of information related to a fictional murder. Discern those five pieces of information to ‘defox ‘ the foxer and solve the crime.

Broadland by Train Sim (Part 2 of 2)

For the last seven days two twelve-wheeled dragons have been dozing sonorously in the summer sun at Berney Arms, one of England’s sleepiest railway halts. In a moment or two, my colleague, Roman, will rouse them from their slumbers with a touch of his power handle, and Tally-Ho Corner’s TS-powered tour of East Anglia’s Wherry Lines will continue.
