Space Lego, Sausages and Coco-pops!

Hi everyone!
Joined here because I was looking for more outlets for my foul opinions about the need for a return of classic space. It's where it all began for me, a 918 for my fifth birthday!
I'm known, or have been known online as; legospod, but some forums wouldn't let me have that name because it was offensive!?, so I became badgerboy, but that name was taken on brickset's main site, so here, I shall go by the same name I have there.
It's not my real name, but for those that care, it's from Scrooged.
"Excuse me Lumpy..."
"Most folk round here call me Mr Cross!"
I'm trying to re-engage with the AFOL community. I was pretty active online between '03 and '08 then life stuff happened and I just didn't have the same time for Lego. I popped up again in 2011 or 2012 when my little boy was born but until very recently it's all just been childcare as I'm the stay-at-home one in our family.
I understand it is the etiquette here to discuss sausages, usually I try to avoid mixing sausages with my lego, I once sneezed coco-pops all over my space Lego and that took an age to clean off. (I kind of went off them after that.)
I guess that's about all you need to know!
Looking forward to getting to know some of you.
TTFN!

You're right the world does need more badgers!

Welcome!
@MaffyD, I agree those are some of the coolest ships in the fleet! I had a crazed period of collecting when I first got back into Lego and I got reasonable quality examples of 928, 924 and the Galaxy Explorer off eBay , they are most definitely must-have sets, but my favourite is still the humble little 918 that I've had since 1979!
I still need 920, 926 and a couple of other (smaller) classic space sets but the prices have gone silly and I keep telling myself I have all the parts necessary to build them using downloaded instructions...
What I'd really like though, is officially produced modernized alternatives!
Loved 918! It was the first space set I bought so it also has a special place for me. I saved all my pocket money for weeks to get it, and I still have it now (minus box and instructions).
You sir, are made of the right stuff :-)
You do indeed seem to fit right in here. Enjoy your stay, the forum is about as addictive as Lego itself.
