We are henceforth to be known as:
The Gentlemen of Much-Piddling
The Gentlemen of Much-Piddling provides a collective and collocative title for the foibles, pettifogging, quirks, idiosyncranicities, waffling and hyperbole of three charming, sophisticated and erudite gentlemen of distinction, who rise above the hoi-polloi and riff-raff to bring a touch of style and class to wargaming.
This is our new logo and we have adopted Rudyard Kipling's famous quote as our motto.
Edit: Friday July 24th. I have just found this quote which I rather like, from Andrew Jackson and seems to be the American equivalent of Rudyard Kipling's quote; “I have never in my life seen a Kentuckian who didn’t have a gun, a pack of cards, and a jug of whiskey.”

Very cool gentleman, seems to be a beard is mandatory ! LOL
Not only mandatory, but it also has to be a grey beard!!!!!!
That's absolutely brilliant Martin! Congrats to you, John, and Doug - now you guys just need to get some shirts made with the logo printed on them 😀
Thanks, Ivor. Funnily enough, we are currently exchanging e-mails to get a shirt made for each of us!
How thoroughly splendid, my hat is doffed to one and all. The Kipling quote is a firm favourite of mine too, so pleased to be is such esteemed company.
Utterly splendid! More power to you.
An excellent choice. Our groups preference is bourbon but red wine is quite reasonable substitute - especially when on campaign.
Thanks, Michael. Yes, I'm not sure but I may have pinched the quote from your website, originally! Along with the Fred Burnaby picture, which is one of my favourites!
Cheers, A J.
Remember what W. C. Fields said; "Always carry a flagon of whiskey in case of snakebite, and furthermore, always carry a small snake.” When on campaign, I have to say I think champagne is the drink of choice but 'chacun à son goût' as they say.
