It's also entirely likely this is not the only example of such superflouous spending. Sorry, I mean, investment critical to the development of the university and its research output.

It was very inconsiderate of those Medieval folk to build the Minster so far from the railway station.

I'm glad York II is finally getting some recognition after being overshadowed for years by that upstart 'New York' place.

The final two first edition hardbacks of my novel 1983 that I have in my house. Two cut-out linoprint hares by my mum, Jo. This is a hare linoprint which she originally did to illustrate a chapter in my earlier (non-fiction) book, Ring The Hill, which has a hare subtheme darting through it.

I thought it might be nice to give away my last 2 signed hardbacks of my novel 1983, with two lovely linocut hares by my mum.

All you have to do to enter is repost this (& leave a reply).

The book's been called "Stranger Things rewritten by Kurt Vonnegut and Sue Townsend”.
Extract in the replies.

The original BBC radio dramas are my absolute favourite version and they're well worth tracking down! They also adapted the first series into a TV show in 1980 with much of the original radio cast. It's obviously a bit janky special-effects-wise these days, but still enjoyable.

Paperback version of 'Villager' by Tom Cox with lino print cat bookmark and a card of the Mona Lisa if she'd only followed Dame Edna Everage for fashion advice.

What a cheering parcel to receive on an otherwise dreich and dour Monday morning! That's my reading for the trip home for Christmas sorted. Thanks @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social!

All of these, but particularly nature and silliness, would be a welcome salve at the rotten end of a rotten year.

Personally I am keen to hear about the further (or at least pre-pot) adventures of Grunwald the Goose.

Flat inspections are a rubbish way to start a Saturday, but a delivery of cracking resin scenery from @fenrisgames.com means the afternoon will be much more entertaining! #wargaming #miniaturepainting

I just made a long-faffed-over order of various resin goodies! I hope the vet has some good news for you. Keeping everything crossed for both Oz and you (and also the rapid downfall of the AI hellscape we're living in)!

Releasing this Friday is my FIRST post-TripleJump video!

Adapting the style of my Launch Games videos (albeit with a stinky, horrible game twist), it's my hope that this will be the start of a brand new series!

A poser for the #Oldhammer lot. I have a bunch of 1990s High Elves to paint up for Dragon Rampant 2nd Ed. Should I base them on MDF bases (more space for models & texturing)? Or is that the behaviour of a real deviant and old-school slottas would be better? #wargaming #dragonrampant
