SOMEONE CALL THE GUINNESS BOOK OF RECORDS. I have found the most middle class review ever on Ocado for Comte cheese.
Steady yourselves for this

Native Instruments has begun early-stage insolvency restructuring, wtf.
“Native Instruments has been majority-owned by private equity firm Francisco Partners since 2021.”
ah, there it is.

Paint is layered up starting with a dull grey primer which the top coats stick to better, I won’t show that because it’s boring. This is the rust layer which is basically swirly brown crap. Then by using coats of hairspray and other colours you can chip and wear back through to it.

I think I might take one of these "under 20 minutes" AI skills courses the UK Govt. seems very keen on everyone doing and live-post it here... Maybe we can all learn something together! The press release sends me to aiskillshub.org.uk/aiskillsboost/ - let's go and see!

Not sure if I ever shared the scale model Transit van on here. So I’ll do a bit. It’s basically very loosely based on the types of knackered vans me and mates had and used in the 80s and 90s to cart band gear about in.
This is 1/24th scale.

Immediate flashback to being at the paddling pool by the West Pier in the summer of '76, a few weeks after I'd had my appendix out. The surface of the water was literally covered in ladybirds and they were everywhere in the city.
Last tuesday we went to Brighton for the day and I spent all of my money on clothes. Dad bought me a portable typewriter. On the pavements there, there were millions of LADYBIRDS.

They were stored in a plastic bag, before ending up in a junk shop where Oliver Croy found them in the early 2010s.

There was a very positive review of this book in Amateur Photographer last weekend. Well worth visiting Marc's site and buying a copy from him.
I've received a small set of advance copies of ‘The Edge of Ruin’. Excited that I will have some copies to show at BOP Bristol this weekend.
Opening the box is so nerve racking, but I’m so happy with the job that the printers & binders have done. Exactly as myself and @wayneford.co.uk envisioned it.
