Apologies to the young dad pushing a pram into the BP/M&S garage in Strathbungo for not instantly leaping out of the way because you know, he had a pram

If the grey hair & arthritic gait were not enough reason, my right boot had decided to self destruct, reducing my ability to leap instantly away

This is more of a modelling project, but it will get stuff done for my 10mm Middle-Earth

Ground in 10mm should be about 17.6 cm long (100 feet) so building one, and some of those GW Goblins and Trolls I have had for 20 years, to accompany them

One has conned their way to the posh end past the red velvet rope, one is interrogating the maitre d' that the suspect of being a vampire, one is unconscious under the table, one is merely merry and the last is stuffing their face

Good night of fantasy adventuring

Running TFT tonight. A couple of weeks of jobs, the Highwayman was robbed by the burglar, a mercenary recruit fell into a dock, but they were surprised with mysterious invites to a swanky restaurant

My relationship with Star Trek, after the original series, developed with ship designs, the Franz Joseph designs that made their way into "Star Fleet Battle Manual" & "Star Fleet Battles"

Q: Why did Donald Trump bury Ivana on one of his golf courses?

A: So he could still cheat on her.

Just wait for the assessment appointment I guess

I also used to confuse the woman in the Jewish deli. Local accent, looking ready to hammer the Seleucids, but she had no idea who I was, and it was not a big enough community to be strangers

No doubt she knew relatives of mine, but I was the son of a black sheep, so no

Typical Trump that part of the sticking point for helping Ukraine is he wants 50% of the European held Russian funds

- An official from an EU government resorted to colorful swearing to express their dismay, while a senior EU politician said: “Witkoff needs to see a psychiatrist.” -

Among everything else, this is all so embarrassing.

‘Witkoff needs a psychiatrist’: Europeans fume at Trump’s plan to profit from frozen Russian assets
Diplomats and officials react with outrage to new details of the U.S. peace plan, warning it could wreck their efforts to help Ukraine survive the war.

"We all want this war to end, but how it ends matters. Russia has no legal right whatsoever to any concessions from the country it invaded, ultimately the terms of any agreement are for Ukraine to decide"

This should not have to be spelled out to a yank president - if only there were a sane one

European leaders’ joint statement cleverly kicks Trump’s pro-Putin Ukraine plan way down the road. It needs “additional work”.
