The UK is basically composed the completely normal English in the centre, then as you move outwards it gets progressively worse. Scotland is a bit further out than Wales is from central England, so they have it worse off, while sheep shagging in Ireland and the channel islands is worse still. The Overseas Territories seem to be immune on the basis that even though they are barely more hospitable than Russia, they pass the time with the imminent threat of Invasion from Argentina, Spain and other countries who haven't discovered how to work a proper expeditionary force.
But really Welsh, Scottish, Irish. They all like their raw mutton. (This post is completely unbiased)

Right. It means you came to sheepfucking by choice, not just because it was the culture you were raised in.

Got this for a project i have in mind involving some of my friends and their birthday present for me from earlier this year.
So mainly for the minifigs and parts. A bit expensive but... well whatever. Only i am a bit bummed that the parts that
looked so yellow on the box turned out to be golden/orange, duh.

What the hell? You bought this set for the bricks? Those are just ornamentation to help sell what's important: the exquisite ten-piece collection of eight original paintings on genuine LEGO-brand flimsy cardstock!

Aren't a lot of these sets made with the crappy Chinese plastic?

I am tempted to open the polybags to take a look at the other 6 original paintings you mentioned but that will dramatically diminish their value in coming years, right?
Somewhere i have got a pack of Ninjago cards as well.
Actually, if i ever come around to creating my own statcards for Brikwars i already have some perfectly sized cardboard pieces to glue them on.

Picked this up the other day:
I mainly got it for the some of the parts in it, but I decided to build it just to try it out and came away with mixed feelings. First, I hate how the treads move around and get stuck on the rest of the vehicle, making driving it difficult. I guess the intention was to have the spikes on the treads attack enemies, but it totally doesn't work as intended. The vehicle was fun to put together though, so it's not completely bad.

If you bought it for parts why did you apply the stickers?

Just got this.
Overall, it's a nice set. It's got a pretty cool sliding door on it. Though, there were a lot of stickers. I wouldn't have minded if they were printed, because the patterns actually look pretty cool.

I love the crocodiles so I bought that. Then a friend got me one as a b-day present. Like you said, parts only.

It's not my pic, just grabbed the first one I found off of google.
Also, I've seen a display of the big Crocodile boat, and it's completely awesome looking.

I pretty much always put the stickers on out of habit.
