One of my favourite things is putting riffs where they “don’t belong” - today, No Love Lost by Carcass snuck into Sweet Caroline

Big Trike meeting his cousin at the impressively inaccurate Lost Kingdom at Netley (that’s a tsintaosaurus, apparently 🤦‍♂️). Have you been @tetzoo.bsky.social ? It’ll do nothing for your blood pressure

Tentatively poking my toe into the BlueSky water after dinocon and some great folk on here to follow. Feels a bit like old T…r. Should I put some guitar related nonsense on here like I used to over them..?

Less than after week of doing a two hour workshop about reconstructing Iguanadontids and saying how much they change and are diverse looking animals at @dinoconuk.bsky.social we get another one with a sail show up! 🤣

Congratulations to @valdosaurus.bsky.social and the team for an amazing discovery

That’s very cool. Particularly the Ellen MacArthur connection

Episode V: The Dino Strikes Con?

Midlife crises are a curious thing (as Faith No More taught us…) mine mainly consists of going to heavy metal concerts and getting bashed up in mosh pits. Slayer in Cardiff was something …

Getting Boy out is a challenge but events like these are so good for giving him confidence to try

Yes, so many young people who know and love so much about the subject is wonderful. David Armsby was brilliant too - especially given he hadn’t spoken in public before

The Boy was very nervous about coming into the paleoart session (I think the fact that he’s home-educated and it was quite class-like didn’t help).

But he did it (with the support and kindness of another) and got so much from it.

That his angry goose was shared on your IG will light him up too 🤣

I recognise it’s easier for me, a middle-aged bloke to turn up at things like this without any bother (eg I regularly go to metal shows alone). I don’t have a good answer, but hope there’s a way for people who would like to attend can do so comfortably

Yes, he absolutely lit up when he got chatting with some folk about spinosaurs! Such a great group of people the whole day we were there. Really inclusive, which I hope would be encouraging to others who would like to attend.

Tricky one. I was my ND son’s +1 (like I needed persuading 🤣) and it was a lot of socialising for him (I am enormously proud of how well he did).

I get teased by my kids for my ability to find someone to chat to in an empty room, but a real challenge for many flying solo.

This is very true! I’ve never really got on with that album - Black Gives Way to Blue was fantastic; Devil/Dinosaurs had a lot to live up to.

*does - not “is”

Whilst our roadtrip to @dinoconuk.bsky.social was very much to the tune of Them Bones by Alice in Chains (from the album Dirt - is that make it the perfect paleo song?) I’m off to the home of Carcass today - which seems kind of fitting in a different way 🤣 #dinoconuk

My old maths teacher used to say - it’s not a small world; it’s a very large world - but the probability of bumping into someone you know is high.

With that in mind - I’ve just found that you know my brother, Lex. What are the chances?

Victim of your own success 🤣 good luck

We channeled the vibe you were giving off. It was the “they hate everyone” bit that confirmed them as NINchers 🤣

It was great fun. Our table decided that iggies listen to Nine Inch Nails and model their behaviour on John Wick.

It was good wasn’t it? Really enjoyed drawing iguanadons even though I can’t draw 🤣

Nice! We decided Them Bones by AiC from the album Dirt was the most paleo-appropriate song for our trip

What a brilliant talk from David. Inspirational. Well-deserved standing ovation

Great to have a quick starwars chat with you @tetzoo.bsky.social 🤜🤛

Fantastic paleoart session. I can’t draw for toffee, so I’ll keep my iguanodon to myself, but here’s the lad’s microraptor #dinoconuk

Exeter here we come! #dinoconuk

#dinoconuk

Need to work up a playlist for the drive to #Dinocon tomorrow. So far I’ve got Diggy Hole by Wind Rose and Dirt by Alice in Chains…

Just the classic logo, but it’s got to be done. Have a fantastic time :)
