Mostly posting about printing and painting sci-fi & fantasy miniatures. Mainly Warhammer 40k, but easily distracted.
Also, the occasional post on dodgy old motorcycles & Scottish Football banter.

Absolutely. Every bloody advert. The wonders of AI in soothing, enthusiastic tones, and then that disconcerting bit at the end where they try and say a thousand words in about two seconds

![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

A pair of lovingly restored MZ TS250s at a rally in Ireland. A very basic 250cc two-stroke commuter bike manufactured in Zschopau in the former DDR. I have owned somewhere in the region of a dozen of these fine little bikes.

CHURCHILL:
This isn't a debate
You don't debate fascists
10
HITLER:
Oh here we go with ze Godwins law!
11
HITLER:

Put the finishing touches to this lad this morning. One of a number of Alpha Legion figures I completed this weekend, most of which had been sitting in a box part-completed for ages.

Saturday:
Dig out some unfinished APCs.
Decide on a tank too, so grab one of them.
Hunt for some printed greebles.
Find bunch of printed bases.
Remember that I have the minis for these bases.
Minis located, just need some detailing.
That's how I finished 6 Alpha Legion figures for #Guardvember🤦♂️

Wife has been listening to an 80s pop music show for about two hours. With half an ear to what's going on it has sounded like just the one song the whole time.

Remember that Celtic are playing in an early kick off. Turn on game just as they lose a goal. Couple of mintes later they lose a second.
Grabs remote. I wonder how Aberdeen are faring?

I posted a picture recently of a Morris Minor Traveller I’d spotted out & about. A friend, always keen to go one better, sent me this. It’s a 4x4 pick-up which he reckons is a Suzuki chassis and running gear.

Last night I went to the Puca Festival in Trim, Ireland.
It's all fun and games until someone unleashes a giant demonic hare.
