my sorta-if-you-squint hometown of Nottingham, "most threatening vibe of any county" - we were oddly proud of 90s gun-crime-capital-of-england "Shottingham"

In Issue 26 we have ranked the Ceremonial Counties of England, from top to bottom...

we provide this little arsehole bowls of fresh water and a little drinking fountain

naturally none of these are as delicious as puddles or, as of this #caturday morning, the reservoir under the Christmas tree

I just made a sale so I’m going to the post office first thing Monday morning anyway so if you want a print for Christmas order it this weekend because another thing I’m doing on Monday is resting the shop for a fortnight. marswasrubbish.etsy.com

I must be into double figures of coffee tables by now. Make one, then ~2 years later have an idea for a better one & donate/firewood the original. Is this the curse of anyone with passing interest in #woodworking?

I must have been a very good boy this year. I have received two trampolines and eight wheelie bins, and it is still two weeks to Christmas.

Build thread for a new spice rack design

This will be an asymmetric steel & oak 3-tier with capacity for ~17 jars and be suitable for wall mount or countertop

It won't be ready in time for 🎄 but customsawdustco.etsy.com has plenty of alternatives if you're short of gift ideas 🧵/1

Let me introduce you to the Icelandic Christmas Lads, in the order they come to visit you:

12 Dec: Stekkjastaur (Sheep-Cote-Clod)

Sheep-Cote-Clod was said to harass sheep, suck milk from them and was known for having two stiff peg-legs.

Re-reading Lord of the Rings at the moment, and I'd forgotten how relentlessly Gandalf drags Hobbits.

"Of course, The Enemy has overlooked one thing: dipshits such as yourself, Frodo. Buffoons with fat feet and shithole burrows. Yes, perhaps your painful loser energy may surprise Sauron yet!"

excellent, depressing, read
My latest: in which I visit Oxfordshire's 'Rubbish Mountain', buy a Twirl in the country's most violent Sainsbury's, and explore the absolutely dismal response of the Environment Agency.
Rubbish Mountain
A gigantic pile of rubbish was dumped in a field in Oxfordshire. The response sums up everything wrong with British bureaucracy.
