So very many movies lately would have got a pass at around 90 mins. Patience thins at the 2 hr mark.

Likewise a generation later, found via the Arena heavy metal film.

A vector illustration of another 'pepperpot' alloy, this time from a Ford, would look good on an early Fiesta XR2

A vector illustration of a Lancia Stratos alloy wheel. Made of magnesium by Campagnolo with a distinctive 'coffin' spoke.

A vector illustration of the NTC1875 Land Rover Range Rover Classic 3 Spoke Wheel. One of the two cars that can wear a three spoke alloy well, along with a SAAB.

A vector illustration of a Porsche 'Phone Dial' alloy in metallic bronze. Sehr schön!

Personal project for no other reason than illustrating some of my favourite alloys #VectorAlloys #illustrator

Lars Ulrich doing this feature, and messing it up. And it's a Metallica track.

Beverly Hills Cop (1984) Axel drives away from Maitland's villa in his shabby Chevy Nova past a gleaming new DeLorean

Beverly Hills Cop and the first time I've noticed the DeLorean as Axel leaves Maitland's villa. '83 model in an '84 film (made in 83?) - this must have been an unusual street parked 'extra' BITD. A year later Back To The Future picked out a weird little known car for stardom @carpervert.bsky.social

Took in a show at the Riyadh Comedy Festival, one guy in the audience was in pieces!

Revisited Bugle 226 where Zaltz is thrilled that his stat was read out on TMS. I still couldn't be more happy that he landed the gig. Every single test match he's living the dream.

A hand holding a teeny tiny wee conker on the left, and a regular sized one on the right. Autumn leaves in the background

Amazing how conker technology has developed. My current conker (left) and an original 80's conker like we had at school @mooseallain.bsky.social

Looks like you're correct en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonatha...

Can We Stop Killing Each Other? review – a violence-themed show that’s about as dangerous as a garden centre This exhibition asks whether art can diminish the human capacity for violence – but you might want to throttle someone after seeing this nonsense

Jonathon Jones realised this years ago, which is why he just uses his Fine Art Review Coin for Guardian pieces. One side says 'Triumphant' the other one 'Shithouse'

Finally! Not a US model that I have no idea about...

'He holds the Guinness world record for being the first vet to fit double bionic leg implants to an animal.'

What does that sentence even mean?

not really a fan of much sport, don't care for football at all, and I love it.

Newest addition to the reading stack from @thefence.bsky.social on @seamas.bsky.social recommendation. Cheers!

Is it a feature of becoming obscenely rich that your story starts to resemble a fable, except the moral of the tale is so hack that even a child would say c'mon be real!

Newly delivered paperback of Ashes to Admin - Tales from the caseload of a council funeral officer. Sat on top of Ed Conway's Material World.

Another one to add. Love love love having a pile of books to read, especially this one @christinamartin.bsky.social

Literary editors in advertising impressed me, academic editors at the OU amazed me. A good editor is a treasure. I worry AI 'editing' of texts will replace them. AI will be 'able' to edit texts but LLM's by their very nature will turn out the predictable pabulum that Lawrence detested.

reminds me of a Hitchiker's Guide design I made...

The paperback 'Material World' by Ed Conway

Just arrived, something to read in the bath, it's got some heft to it @edconway.bsky.social

The Martin Parr documentary is excellent, but it does ask the same question as the, also excellent Roger Moore documentary. What the fuck is David Walliams in this for?

The new Ferrari 849 Testarossa in red.

A photoshopped 849 Testarossa, with the front aero blacked out and a band of black similar to the 512 BB along the side

849 Testarossa thought very quickly P'shopped to see... if it has to have that front aero - black it out and reflect that line down the side a la 512 BB - which lets face it, it resembles far more than a Testarossa.

Brno comment

Blur’s Dave Rowntree: ‘People think music was better in the old days, to which I say: bollocks!’ The drummer for the Britpop band on why Oasis aren’t his nemeses, his failed bid to become a UK Labour MP and how he finally conquered maths

Dave Rowntree always comes across as quiet, smart and with a rich hinterland. Funny too.

I'm assuming several people have told you about this already @grindrod.bsky.social? But I just can't take the risk...
