Gluteus, it occasionally crops up on the Channel 4 weekday afternoon film slot. It has been on this year or last, I seem to recall mentioning it on the LAF.

You probably have done, but I have a memory like one of those little orangey swimming things  :(

I'll keep an eye open for it.

Hope this gives you a better idea. I don't think you are going to have a problem - unless you wanted Pygmies

Ah! that's better. Thanks very much.

Whilst I've nothing against Pygmies [and in fact have 30 or so of the Foundry variety] I want my Zulus to be big strapping chaps.

Happily, my Empress order will go ahead  :D

Sorry to be so thick!
I am not up to date on films with VSF themes. What film are you talking about?

Lovely stuff Svenn. Have you thought of a scenario for it?

Nice!  :-* The size looks right, and the color scheme looks spot-on.  :)
