Andrew Smith replied to James Stuart Koch's discussion Your Three Favorite Blade Types in the group Historical Fencing & Swordplay"Smallsword for me. For practical fencing I've got a Popinjay's smallsword set up with a 30" double-wide epee blade. Very nice indeed.

Dave Allan said… - Hi Andrew,
Thought you might like an invite to the Lulworth Pirate Event in May 2009.
Take a look on the Event list, or ask me any questions. Lots of things to do, including smuggling in Lulworth Cove, and shooting (or being shot at!) Pirates, smugglers, wreckers, and anyone else not with the Government Forces!

Sam gregory said… - Hello me lord
how goes the day with you, i do hope you are in finr fettle and enjoying life to the full.
I am at the moment looking for a couple of lords to join forces and be members of "Stand and Deliver" I have more than enough fottpads and scum of that sort but no victims...er.... sorry did I say victims I meant gentlemen to hold up.
I will be in touch as soon as I have anything in stone to tell you about.
I am trying to organize a shoot with one of those confounded camera things that I do believe can conjour a likeness that even Mr Hogarth would have trouble duplicating. For the new "Stand and Deliver" website it would be very fine indeed if we could at some point get together and sort some likenesses out..
Your humble servant
Sam Gregory

- View hallooo, ..you rapscallion and rogue you...how be you, eh? If you ever need some aristoprats to 'hold up'...just let Lord Herbert and I know and we'll bring the carriage round your neck of the woods (mind you, we shall arm Mandleson with a bloo*y huge blunderbuss and stick him in the driver's seat!) We promise to play the parts 'seriously'! We can do it...honest!
