COBRASTYLE!
Some random thoughts that have occured to me whilst I fight insomnia which I have deigned to share with you, you lucky mortals. Be grateful, most of them are concerned with RED SLAUGHTER AND CONQUEST. Hello, my name is Paul, and I have an all consuming passion for Medieval warfare.
Ever consider that the victorian/regency era mode of letter writing - quick missives scratched out between lovers and handed to a trusted in-between; perhaps a trusty retainer, a loyal manservant or dependable ladies companion - has seen a resurgence with the advent of texting?
Freed from the constraints of india ink and small boys promised a shiny farthing if they run a note to Miss Cecilia Bosworth of Hardingworth Manor. Given a little more immediacy and honesty, but perhaps losing a little poetry in the balance as well.
Once we'd have written;
"Alas, I must pen these short and insignificant lines, whilst my heart burns to be reunited with you. Forgive my impudent heart,
signed devotedly,
Squire Havelock of Cirencester Hall"
Now it's "UR so hot.CU soon. xoxo" as a prelude to fucking in the back seat of a Ford Escort.
Discuss.

Ah! Medieval Warefare! I've been playing me old Medieval Total War. Only because my computer can't handle the new one, the bastard. Still, my Italian Empire is doing well despite the fuckwit Pope and that git the Holy Roman Emperor.
