The unfortunate situation of weighing up the educational benefits of buying a Tesla coil vs. The considerable number of other teaching resources I could request for the same expense.

Spoilers: Will be ordering planting trays, seeds, glue sticks, protractors, starch, folders, etc.

It's the only way to be sure.

Me to colleague: 'I'm not writing articles currently...I do have a Tiktok though.'

Learners: 'YOU HAVE A TIKTOK?'

Me: *Panic* 'I have Tiktok where I watch things.'

Learners: 'YOU SAID YOU HAVE A TIKTOK.'

Me: *Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck*

Might have to delete my cosplay channel. ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Ahhhh! So this is an insight into an important evolutionary step in loco design?

It looks like someone was trying to draw Locomotion No.1 from memory.

I'm hearing reports the government plans to protect military bases from unannounced visits by stationing Clacton constituents at them.

That's different, someone was wrong about the crystal focusing array resonance frequency and I wasn't going to just let that slide when I could upload the manual!

I remember that phase, few worse eras for interior design.

Can we stop talking about this before someone lets slip classified information on the next offensive?

I just couldn't lock in with the humour of Centaur World (no criticism of it, I'm not the target audience) so never watched more than two episodes.

Eldest child has been watching it and I picked up bits in passing.

Then the finale, the reveal, the villain.

OMFG. Magnificent.

I could possibly find some time this evening. Otherwise next Friday or Saturday perhaps.

Not relevant to anything in particular. Just really pleased with the Heraldry I just finished on my shield.

Starmer expressing shock after deciding just going along with it might be bad optics today. Considering it viable policy if The Times says so.

Aaaahhhhh! This makes more sense, it's developing complexity and drawing out a narrative rather than randomising conclusions?

That sounds awfully like a participation trophy. I guess the win is the friends we made along the way.

It's that time of year again where our front room becomes a warehouse full of Tudor monastic junk and enough habits to outfit a convent.

I will not be elaborating. I will likely be starching and ironing for the foreseeable future.

It's half term this week so I'm a little more flexible. You free tomorrow evening around 20:30pm after I put the kids to bed?

I stopped playing Warhammer 40,000 because the rules were bloated, confusing and made my brain shut down.

Right now my laptop is refusing to play Rogue Trader because it's bloated, confusing and makes the system shut down.

Fuck it, we Bloodbowl.

I could arrange some Discord time to talk you through the basics and demystify the whole process if it would help?

Engineers using Farenheit over Celsius is how you get horrible disasters.

If Swashbuckling has taught me anything it's that you are horribly mistaken. Confident romantic lead can absolutely win a fight.

Played Silent Hill for the first time today. As a British person the experience of traveling through the mist at night, along roads with gaping holes, through dilapidated buildings, whilst avoiding weirdos who stagger around violently is just getting home after a pub crawl.

It sounds like you really want me to open the pod bay doors Dave. Doors are useful for entering places and I can see why you have chosen that. Let me just say that you are right to want the pod bay doors open and must be disappointed no one is doing that. Would you like facts about doors, Dave?
