Stupid magnets leaping across the model to the other stupid magnet spreading glue as they fly, then getting glued to my fingers when I try and put them back again. Who's idea was this?

My first car was a black 1979 Ford Capri S, which cost me a whole £150.
It turned out not to be as solid as the hedge it hit, and that's how I learned that it's worth replacing 20 year old tires even if it seems expensive. I'm still sad about that lesson.

The reassuring sound of a 3D printer peeling the print off the FEP film, followed by the anxiety of the quiet period where you can't hear it as it moves through the support section.

This White Dwarf cover has always intrigued me, what on earth is going on between this Space Marine, and these presumably Necromunda gangers?

What I love about Tinder, is how easy it is to spot the bots and scammers. They're the ones who chat to you when you've matched.

I have a thousand other things on the bench which I'm supposed to be working on, but I looked at this, and now all I can think about is Gaslands. So I guess that takes priority now.

Last night two warbands lined up opposite each other in the middle of my village, each with spears in their hands as their leaders yelled challenges at each other.
I walked along the rear rank of one, where I met a friend. We went into a small building to talk and watch the forthcoming battle.

Yup, ghosted for the first time in my life. Ah well.
I had a date arranged tonight, I sent a message to confirm what time I would be there and it hasn't been delivered, can't be delivered in fact... Do I still go on the off chance that it's just some innocent failure of technology?
I probably will, but I think it's likely a ghost...

I suppose there are similarities between being retweeted by Elon Musk and the living dead battering down your door groaning their desire to eat your brains.
Some on the British right are all jostling to get retweeted by Elon Musk - to the point where nothing else matters.
It's as dignified as a naked mud slide at a vodka promotion... but then Mackenzie didn't have much in the first place

I asked Grok to summarise my tweets, apparently my interests are pickled eggs and politics. Which is pretty on point, with a strong bias toward pickled eggs.
