Not surprising that this wouldn't help, as those filter particulates,
not
fumes. Have you tried gas mask or other activated charcoal breather, not
that I've certain knowledge of it's effectiveness in this case? Have to
agree, a venting hood would be best.
By the way, a friend at work has been clinically dead at least twice
from
his asthma; others may find the thought of following a hobby in a gas
mask
as amusing. In our department, we know better.

No, one probably should find better cover than something which is mostly
petrol-filled tank. ;->=

GW/Citadel produced a interesting range of figures (a range of
miniatures
based Micheal Morcook's characters, for example).

While I don't have an LotD, I do have a small unit of Melnibonean
calvary.
I assumed they are the obvious precursors to elves/eldar, rather than
the
Tolkien variety, but I could be wacko. I think I used to have a Moonglum
around, but can't find him.
By the way, Derek, even though I envy your youth, and would lose major
body
parts to drop the decade and a half 'tween us, I still think you have
some
responsibilities. How dare you allow a mere child such as Beth alone on
the
dark, nasty internet! *heh heh*

Oh don't mind him, the grumble from his caveman mode is much worse than
his
bite ;)

While I delight in the thought of fellow curmudgeons on the list, I was
really trying to see if anyone recognized the quote. I may have bashed
it a
bit, but as it was a translation anyway, I figured I didn't have to go
look
for exact wording.
