Same here! Bad asthma as a child would probably have killed me before I was a teenager, and if that didn’t, the cancer I got at aged 29 definitely would have!

I think a LOT of founders, especially in tech, who make the same mistake in thinking they created things that were more a case of right place, right time.

If you want to do some runs in nice scenery when you feel up to it, shout 😃

Don’t forget the Shroves, they wake up but once a year!

Watching it with my daughter and she said “I wouldn’t do that Dad, it does NOT look safe” 😂 I’ve snowboarded down one of the deadliest slopes in Europe and you couldn’t pay me to do the teatray of death 😂

Great idea for a post apocalyptic novel though, historian travels the ruins of the world and reads the forbidden archives, learns all the sketchy stuff!

Yeah, that smacks of “we knew it was bad, but oh, oh dear, it’s waaaay worse”

I think I need to resurrect that tradition! Lots of odd little sci-fi and horror films, crazy Japanese and Korean films, and other assorted oddities.

I remember when I was ill I’d host mad film nights, showcasing some of the weirder films in my collection (there’s a lot of those). It was a great opportunity to introduce folks to strange films and socialise when that was hard for me to do!

The rest is from when I had cancer and was too ill to leave the house, I bought a LOT of films that year. Every now and then I think I should get rid of some, but I realise that the vast majority of my collection isn’t on streaming. Or it’s spread over so many services as to be impractical.

Currently trying to clear our lounge ready to have new flooring. As part of that, I’ve had to clear the DVD shelves. I’d forgotten quite how many DVDs I’ve actually got (well over a 1500). Think the DVD scene from Hot Fuzz, but with more DVDs 😂 part of it is my latent hoarding genes!

Good luck! I got sent a while back when I had chest pains, turns out I had high blood pressure. Better safe than sorry, hope it turns out to be nothing serious.

I’d have been Jemima, which was almost my younger sister’s name, but they sensibly changed it! 😂

Just started watching it, it’s lovely!

If my daughter had her way, we’d go as much as possible 😂

Those are wonderful! That’s going on my list of new places to visit next time I go to Japan 😀

That and make it so I can do a weekly shop without feeling like I’ve been mugged.

Had a very similar conversation with a WSG when me and my daughter went to buy pastel coloured paints for her 3D printed 40K MLP marines for the school Warhammer club painting competition!

That’s not how the internet works. That’s not technically possible. That’s technically a breach of GDPR.

The guy on the left is clearly one of Boris’ unacknowledged offspring

Fun fact, my dad has a 95% built one of these in his garage, but because he definitely has ADHD, even though he thinks such things are nonsense, it remains sadly unfinished. 😢

My dad introduced me to this show in the 80s! It was great!

I was lucky enough to see him talk a couple of times at the model engineers show back in the 80s (used to get dragged by my dad every year). Hung around to meet him after, absolutely lovely bloke, great speaker, and really passionate about his subjects too!

Exactly this! I grew up in a village that was an odd mix of gentry/money and working families. Fun fact, Keith Chegwin lived in our village!

He’s basically the avatar of posh boy isn’t he?

I wore the fourth one when I was part of the Viking boat Guinness Marathon attempt 😂

I had 1998, 2001, 2025, 2026!

This is like the fourth time he’s resigned in disgrace though? Maybe more?

Battle Umas anything but training super cool design for @rnrqkq123 in x

Closest thing I can find is these: cults3d.com/es/modelo-3d... but they’re full models

Looks like it’s linking to the underlying domain rather than the Skrift one.
