I appreciate your output whether perfect or not - I don't need perfection in place of effort, care, charm and enthusiasm

#Dolmenwood arrived on Monday. It's a masterpiece. Beautiful, evocative art, lovely presentation, a nice simple interpretation of old school rules which don't get in the way, 4 excellent scenarios and the fairytale setting has a wonderfully charming, fey, otherworldly quality.

Old Essex Miniatures?

Got my email this morning so I'm hoping it will be delivered tomorrow...fingers crossed

Not sure how to PM on here! Yes I'd love them - I bought a couple of fleets from you earlier this year. Happy to pick them up at Colours if you're going..

Are the spaceships still available?

Very excited to see this!

Devilry Afoot?

Yeah!

Looking forward to the Live Aid episode. I remember it so clearly. I think it's one of those days like the death of JFK or the moon landing that is a landmark in people's memories. On a hot Saturday 14 year old me would be out playing with my friends but that day we all stayed in watching it on TV

Trickle down economics in action...

YouTube video by 80s New Wave Music Duran Duran: The Album That Started It All

@bangpodcast.bsky.social I just found a source for the 'band to dance to when the bomb drops' quote: www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPdu... it's in the first minute or so

Bloody hell Jim. Good luck to you - there's a legion of listeners out here cheering you on

🤣 I remember it from an old fanzine (admittedly from over 40 years ago) Maybe they both said it...?

Great episode again. I'm a card carrying Duranie...never thought of Planet Earth as a nuclear song but you may have convinced me...
Also, in 1981 or 82 Simon Le Bon said 'we want to be the band to dance to when the bomb drops'.
Worth a tea towel surely!?!

@hjdoom.bsky.social great to see another series of Popular Antiquarian starting - very funny and entertaining first episode

Presumably the same Robert Arthur who wrote the original Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators books...

@bangpodcast.bsky.social Big singles that didn't appear on an album: Is There Something I Should Know? Duran Duran no.1 1983 - of course with the line 'don't say you're easy on me, you're about as easy as a nuclear war'!

Also, capitalism has failed many people (of course) and left some desperate people with no hope beyond magical thinking

The main trend is towards progressive and liberal - this is a reaction to that from those left behind, used by cynical opportunists

Looks amazing

Wake up Dad, it's my birthday! Happy 20th birthday Martha

Does that mean you'll fight them on the Beeches?

@bangpodcast.bsky.social Just caught up with the latest episode - best yet! Breaking Glass is a favourite of mine - there's another more explicit nuclear track on the album - Who Needs It - well worth a listen

Carry On Up the Conclave

Success is secondary to just doing it - that in itself can be hard enough sometimes. Good luck James, hope things brighten up for you

There's a fantasy expansion for G&G - Fayre Winds and Foul Tides (also includes ancient galleys)

Reminds me of Michealangelo's Creation of Adam but with, you know, science instead of magic..

Or Dungeons and Dragons when they mean Role-playing

Ah, I tweeted while listening and you just mentioned Think Again!
