I have spent the last few months progressing with the paintwork on a Necron army (for Warhammer 40K). The army is my sons; but, I have been painting miniatures for a looooong time, so I wanted to take the opportunity to pass on some knowledge. So, I had set him to filing and gluing duties [...]

I witnessed another fine example of middle lane madness today, something I see every single day in all honesty. It erks me most when drivers do it so blatantly, sitting in the overtaking lanes for junction after junction with hardly an obstruction to overtake in sight.
This morning a young woman with dark, shoulder-length hair in [...]

Sometimes I manage to finish reading a book (rather than meandering off on to something else half way through), and I should finish ‘Storm Front‘, the first of the Dresden Files, in the next day (exhaustion permitting).
I like Jim Butcher’s writing and I allowed my imagination to connect names with faces from the TV series [...]

The Japanese intend to chuck 100 paper planes into orbit. Constructed from silicon treated, heatproof paper and measuring around 20 cm in length, the places will depart from the International Space Station and head earthward. The planes will cover around 300 miles in their journey and most probably land in the sea. However, I’m midly [...]

Suicide bombs. Unrest in Chad. Public sector pay cuts. And Holly Willoughby’s cleavage. I had to raise them again, because another tabloid did yesterday, with another front page picture and a claimed plethora of complaints. To be honest, Holly wore a nice dress with dropped frontage, but nothing eye-watering… nothing like Jodie Marsh’s number from [...]

In an action that seems to beggar belief, Games Workshop has decided to stop game related publications by the Black Library - meaning an end to Talisman and Warhammer 40,000 Roleplay: Dark Heresy, amongst others. In an announcement dated 28th January, the fate of these lines was sealed - with a decision to concentrate solely [...]

I was less than shocked to discover today that The Mirror has managed to stretch out Holly’s cleavage to a further day of discussion with a 2-page article discussing the right and wrong amount to show in public. Obviously just a chance to show a dozen or more pictures of celebrities in flesh revealing dresses, [...]

I have an cold coming. A slow, insidious bug of some kind intent on taking its time. Having spent too long in a freezing cold meeting room on Thursday, I had a sore throat by Friday… and now, it’s got worse. The minor sore throat now feels like I have pebble-dashed the inside of my [...]

I received some finely crafted spam today… the sort that really has you convinced from the outset:
Dear user!
We let you know,
that you have 6 unread messages in your letter-box.

I mean… that’s good, isn’t it! Never mind those mails from PayPal, eBay and that bank you’ve never had a current [...]

Why is it that one days when I decide not to bring a packed lunch to work the prepared dinners prove to look as unappetizing as possible? Or fail to be what you recalled seeing on the menu earlier in the week. I mean, I didn’t bring a lunch in today and recalled seeing roast [...]
