That's more like it. A win at the death, away from home, for Worcester Warriors.

Good game Caldy. Solid defence and unlucky to lose that one.

Hate doing this, because everyone is skint, but Oz is the only important thing in my life and I'm too broke to cover his additional surgery. If you'd like to help, please use OZVET20 at checkout on fenrisgames.com/shop for a nice discount or ko-fi.com/fenrisgames if you don't need toys.
Thankyou 💔

I'll admit that my main reason for grabbing a batch of these paints is because I've wanted to buy the two mugs Army Painter sells for a long while, and the reduced paints was justification to spend enough to get free shipping. Ahem.

The end of an era is upon us, as the venerable original Warpaints line, the primogenitor of all our current paint ranges, is finally laid to rest.

Join us as we give them a proper Danish farewell. 🔥

Less than a minute to play and Worcester throw the game away by box kicking instead of retaining possession and going through the phases. No surprise that Doncaster scored a try from it.

I'm glad my club is back, but that is incredibly sloppy. Must do better.

Fantastic to see Worcester Warriors back on the field again. Thank you to Ampthill for being wonderful hosts.

And a lovely (if slightly confusing at first) walk through the woods to reach the pitch!

I bought TSC on release, where it remained unread on my shelf until 2023. Glad I finally read it, of course, but it took a long time to build up the courage to do so. Heartbreaking and hopeful in equal measure.

How it started (about six hours ago) vs how its going.

Finally making progress on painting my Combat Patrol models. Tomorrow I move onto the first use of Mephiston Red and Squig Orange!

Royal Mail don't often go wrong in my experience, but when they do they make sure to do so spectacularly.

For context, this item was sent to me from Stafford, went in the right direction to Brum MC, then went two hours in the wrong direction up north to Preston.

Sadly it looks like I won't be able to make it to Bloodstock this year - my ticket is available via Tixel at cost, and with car parking included. Link below for any who might be interested.

The tradition continues (cut me some slack for 2020, it was a weird year).

No idea why 1 July has always felt like a Robin Hood: Men in Tights day, but so it goes.

Very happy to have reached my 25th donation of whole blood. Shame its taken 10 years to hit this target since reaching 10 donations in 2015 (thanks covid), but now the road to 50 begins! (at the current rate - sometime in 2031 I believe, all being well).

Never watched @dimension20.bsky.social before this week. Saw the AMA on Reddit with @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social for Titan Takedown... and I am a full convert to the cause.

Subscribed to Dropout and starting to work through... well, everything.

And I would love TT season 2 please.

As the 25th anniversary release is on the way, I've cracked open Blaze Bayley's Silicon Messiah for another listen. Fantastic album.

Another week, another stressful #Warhammer pre-order window.

For the briefest of moments it looked like I wouldn't get the regular hardback of Fulgrim and a set of the Emperor's Children dice (yes, expensive, but also yes, look cool), but my order went through in time. Phew.

Hudson Thames sounds like a delightful young man. "Woke". Geez. Clearly never read an issue of Spider-Man in his life.

Stewart Lee vs The Man-Wulf, Birmingham Symphony Hall.

Stew, if you see this from your anonymous account, a massive thank you from a second row attendee for yet another hilarious show. Haven't laughed that much in a very long time.

Comedy with bite, mayhap?

Looks like one of the first things I watched on WWE Network in February 2015 was Royal Rumble 1998. So I guess that's where I'll kick off the Netflix era tomorrow (assuming of course that RR '98 is available from day one).

After 10 years as a subscriber, I'm watching the WWE Network for the last time, ahead of its (UK) closure in a couple of hours. It's the thing that got me back into wrestling after nearly a decade away, sad to see it going.
