<&>Wellington Corpus of Spoken New Zealand English Version One <&>Copyright 1998 School of Linguistics & Applied Language Studies <&>Victoria University of Wellington <&>side one <&>2:03 i'm getting some money at the end of the week and i'm going shopping i'm going to get myself and pay off the giant mhm which will cost me a bit and then i'm going to get myself some orc heros and some gobos if there are any gobos which'll be quite cool and perhaps a few skeletons as well since i'm painting like twenty four skeletons at the moment i thought it'd be nice if they actually had um oh leader group <,> you know like the nightmare legion there's some really neat grenadier figures skeleton bazurkas they're called a pack of three it's got a really neat skeleton <,> person holding a sword up here mm and holding his head in his other hand i could do that <{1><[1>if i wanted to fine laughs no no no cos um um it's voc cos i was thinking of getting another skeleton orc cos that's why i can conjure up <,> fifty forty eight forty eight and then with another four pack i could have fifty TWO skeletons which would cost <,> at least twenty five magic points to summon up <{2><[2>so if i wanted to i could drown the opposition in skeletons which might be an idea against <.>something something which isn't that tough <[1>and it <.>l it looked really <.>good it looks really really cool <[2>laughs word <&>3:00 well there's <.>a a third level spell which casts for ten magic points and summons sixty six except when you usually don't play with third level no i know there's a first level spell summoning skeletons i was thinking of getting a ring for my hero well <.>using using the <.>w magic ring and um having my necromancer have a gobo necromancer so he can call them up and act as the controller and then er it <.>like that's what i had with timbo except timbo's giants <.>went aren't hurt by the skeletons i just had him coming at them and going <&>makes swooshing and then smashing noise lots of skeletons timbo smashed through them <{><[><&>makes swooshing and then smashing noise full stop <[>laughs yeah well the other <.>thing the only way that he can <.>a you can um possibly defeat a giant in that circumstance is to get him to run away um fear mm mm <{><[>well <.>w <&>4:00 <[>creating a fear test but um which was a bit of a problem since timbo cheated on the rolling and he had toughnesses of seven that doesn't really matter yes <{1><[1>it does i couldn't hurt them <{2><[2>laughs <[1>and <.>i <.>i <[2>yeah i know <.>that's which means they get plus two violence but giants um <.>still tut have fear from undead yep yeah it's just that plus two so it means they're probably safe <{><[>but it's not word certain <[>but also he had really amazingly high coolness as well a coolness of something like nine or ten for a giant? yes for a giant timbo cheated on rolling it up i don't think you can have a coolness of nine or ten <{><[>for a giant <[>yes yeah you can have er it was <,> <.>eight it would have been eight at the most i mean eight at the least and hands the giants were sitting there i had my entire army bottomed around them and i couldn't kill them except my giant has exactly the same stats as <&>5:00 well since i decided if timbo was going to do that i'd do it as well but my <.>giants i sent my giant against um his wizard who squashed him use pick up and squash and i got rid of him laughs what's good against giants well what's good against the characters is use smash with club laughs and you bury them in the ground <{><[>but pick up and squash seemed quite good except i think <.>i <.>after on afterthought i thought i might have misread the rules you're <.>only they lose one wound a round <[>yeah yeah that's that's about right extreme we said that um when tut i voc <&>sound of door opening laughs <{><[>oh <[>you're not supposed to make rude <.>s signals at your sister laughs yes she is when she's spying um tut er because we just then made it that <.>when when i got it i crushed him to death instantly laughs which i thought afterwards seemed to be a <{><[>pretty easy way of killing him <[>bastard what you do is you pick up and throw because <&>6:00 that way you not <{><[>only word <[>oh you told me to do that and i did that and it like he ended up away from my giant so i had to run over and um pick him up and squash him i pick him up and threw him laughs threw him at a um group of gobo archers and i ran after him and picked him up again and then squashed him pick up and throw is really good because i mean you do <{><[>damage to gobos and they <.>may they may rout <[><&>next utterance addressed to cat run chippie <&>next utterance addressed to cat run chippie i don't think i did that <.>ma <.>da <{><[>much damage at all <[>voc the question is asked has your cat gained any more intelligence laughs it's wet <{><[><&>next utterance addressed to cat hi chip <[>obviously not <&>next utterance addressed to cat chippie whoo come here wee i don't know it's getting sick now laughs <{><[>i was also going to get laughs i also was thinking of getting some ogres did you see mind games' ogres at the moment they've got about ten ogres and they're really cool ones as well and one with um you know all their legs cut off and on and ones that look like long <&>7:00 john silver and stuff like that <[>word groans no except um the trouble with ogres is they have minus one in an already cruddy leadership yeah <{><[>word <[>and also if <.>a for a mercenary <.>if i'd <.>like i bought a mercenary and he's like two hundred and eighty points <,> two hundred and forty basic and then it's like voc he's not as skilled as a giant <{><[>for two fifty except if i thought if i er equipped him with something some decent sort of magical blade my enchanted blade coughs <[>yeah but giants are really cool coughs <{><[>mm <[><.>they they're really fun to have oh treemen must be incredible can you actually have treemen heros no it says so in the rules but it doesn't say so in the armour list so you <.>can't you can actually have treemen heros but you can't buy them yeah unless someone n word you and they'd be RIGHT STUPID cos <{1><[1>those ones i remember like <{2><[2>that time when i didn't know the rules so i was firing with my backramps as <&>8:00 well even then it took about three concentrated <,> tut the concentrated efforts of three word witch elves chaos thugs a wizard and two trolls <[1>yeah <[2>yeah treemen word yeah the only problem is though that it can actually fail quite badly because um it's flammable yeah and because it's flammable every time you hit it with a fire weapon it has to take a round twist remember that's what i did i fired crossbows at it and then cast <,> fire balls yeah no no i didn't i cast um fire missile a night missile oh that's right yeah and i think that set you on fire your cat is mad <,,> <&>makes mad cat noises <{><[>laughs <[>i bet if you managed to get its head still and look through one ear you could see out the other laughs oh <.>it <{><[>yeah <[>mad cat yeah it was <,> briefly normal when it came to <&>9:00 this house <&>next utterance addressed to cat come on chippers <{><[>roll over laughs roll over and play dead whoo <[>it was very very young when it came to this house because it was very very young laughs it was innocent and sweet yeah it didn't know any better laughs <&>next utterance addressed to cat come on <{><[>chipper <[>and you taught it what not to <{><[>do and it's been doing it ever since <[>laughs laughs <&>next utterance addressed to cat come on <{><[>chipper come on chipper yeah <[>look chipper <&>hums doctor who theme dum de dum de dum de dum <&>9:30 <&>tape turned off while tony goes to answer the phone after which a section of talk to collector and taping not transcribed <&>10:42 i need to get those as well laughs or angela's supposed to be getting them um no no <.>we we settled that blow to um the giant except i'm going to ask her if she can get me one <{><[>cheap cheap yeah <[>anyway yeah <.>and and one giant and one ogre? one ogre? yeah one ogre no no ogres no ogres oh right six trolls which didn't actually get into combat <{><[>oh <[>cos they were too stupid yeah <&>11:00 were they <.>w operating as a unit no they were word laughs um <,> three units <.>of of gobos two of stickers and one <.>of <,> yeah and the stickers were skirmishing? no <{><[>no they weren't surprising enough <[>really that's really weird well actually <.>th i mean the thing is with weapon skill too it only matters when you're being hit it's not very good to be skirmishing gobos you have to take <.>a you have to run away if people charge you right yeah you have to take a leadership test or it turns into a rout oh right so if you're a skirmisher and you run away and it turns into a rout it's not going <.>to very good for the rest of the <{><[>gobos around <[>well i <.>don't i <.>personally i don't think gobos are that bad at fighting no but <.>they their psychological profile is really really bad i know so i <.>can't so having skirmishing would be good in the way that you could have these little groups <.>r <.>r these little groups of <&>12:00 stickers moving around something like dwarfs because dwarfs would have trouble <.>s charging them <&>next utterance addressed to cat sorry chippie i won't be mean to you again <{><[>i <.>mean <[>yeah it's true that but the smallest size you can have is a unit of twenty which isn't really a small unit of stickers i know that's what <,> pisses me off about the entire thing cos um tut i mean it's BLOODY HUGE the amount of gobos you can actually have you can have a unit of a hundred yeah i know it's really <{><[>great <[>i was thinking that <&>makes funny noise what i was thinking of doing mm if i got word goblin armies spending lots and lots and lots of money and buying enough so i could have ten units of twenty stickers your cat's watching the fish again <{><[>word <[>it doesn't like the television does it <{><[>it likes the fish tank though <[>laughs <.>seventy seventy that's what i said to cam seven hundred points of stickers yeah it's not much eh laughs seven hundred points you get two hundred figures oh and then <.>you and each of these has a ballistic score of <&>13:00 three by the way <.>what what's er um word ballistic score four four basic but most of the archers i have have five that's nasty yeah i know it's <{><[>good <[>and yet you couldn't hit a bloody troll slayer i <{><[>could <.>but but i needed a six to wound so i didn't always wound <[>laughs coughs and apparently he had word although he was dressed in nothing at all <.>yeah except a loin cloth yeah that was a bit silly <{><[><.>i i agree with <,> john's point about the game that the <.>m the guy is suicidal sort of why would he be wearing armour <[>yeah yeah i mean it should it be that they <.>only they're only allowed to carry shields basically they shouldn't have light armour oh <.>i the tattoos i can kind of agree <{><[>with <[>yeah but tattoos are on your body aren't they <{><[>they're not on light armour but he didn't he had mythical armour instead <[>yeah laughs which is almost impossible to hit yeah except he was getting quite upset <.>like <&>14:00 about my idea of you know i wouldn't <.>have maybe i wouldn't have charged all those elves if i'd known this well he should have looked in the rule book by the way he's sold his army now he hasn't got dwarfs any more well he <.>HAS what's he got he's sold half his army for three thousand points of dark elves from? a person in hawke's bay um but <{><[><.>now <[>oh that's right i need to talk to john luke to see whether his brother has any word left yeah cos i <.>don't because i <.>didn't cos i spent all my money <.>on what did i spend all my money on something um <,> lots of things laughs tut cos i thought it would be really cool if i could get <.>s his metal figures his warp <.>fire his warp fire um throwers yeah the poison wind word <&>next two utterances addressed to cat chips <{><[>chippers chips you little moron come back here chips <[>word those fish are ignoring your cat even though she's trying to pounce on the glass <&>next utterance addressed to cat chips tut tut you see i have sterling sterling fish yeah laughs <{><[>word so often
