Have you ever watched 5 Minute Crafts and been like, “That takes way more than five minutes”?
My favourite “5 Minute Crafts” will always be the one where they made a mould of their foot, then used that to make cement models of the foot, then made a table with feet as the legs.

Glad to see my previous post was so niche, absolutely no-one liked, replied or reacted in any way to it on any social media platform.
Another high-five for me!

Sweet mercy, these are good!
Incidentally, a mutual appreciation of Muppets Christmas Carol was how I met my wife over 30 years ago.

Pre-orders have gone up on the FB page! We got T-shirts, jumpers, and even a christmas card. We're also trying out Mousemats for those of us that are permanently infront of a screen! Based on Struzans Muppets Christmas Carol poster, with a "robot cars" twist. :P Lmk if you want any?(UK only, sadly!)

12 years ago today since Jim Bowen sent me loads of signed stuff. I had interviewed him a week or so earlier. He was such a lovely, quietly spoken, humble man.

I’m so tired. I’ve had a week off work just to use up holidays, and I feel like I haven’t stopped.
I think I need a few more 10p coins.

Went to Cha-ology in Manchester this afternoon for our 30th wedding anniversary meal. Such a lovely experience. Exquisite food, many different teas, and knowledgeable hosts.
These Matcha and Hojicha chocolates were the final course.
Couldn’t have asked for a better evening.

While the SAM Coupe had Manic Miner we didn't have JSW, or JSW2 - my fav! ☹️ So I had to design, code and publish my own games in the same style! 😃 'Money Bags' spanned 3 games over the years. MB1 and 1 1/2 now feature with SAM Revival. Updated re-release of MB2 coming soon.

Do you ever look down at your own legs and think, yeah, these are great. I could walk ANYWHERE with these bad boys. Steps, paths, corridors, fields, ladders… I could walk up, through, over and down them all.

Anyone have any experience with the Rodecaster Pro 1 or 2 for live streaming and podcasting.
I've been using a Behringer USB mixer to have my mics go into the PC but it's problematic.
They're expensive so would be a while before I got one if I did.... Keen to hear from people with experience.
