Eyeballing that I think you might be best with two lots. Pricing dependent on whether it's an auction or a Buy-it-now. Β£60/Β£120 for each?

I’m using #TutorialTuesday to regularly remind everyone of the many free LED miniature tutorials I have on my website. 😊 This week I’m highlighting my LED Plasma Weapon tutorial.

If I can have someone go to the gym for me I'd be interested!

Is it based on data - as in rates of foot/car traffic at the perpendicular - or judgement/prejudice?

Thanks very much. I'd be interested to know if these standards/timings are set nationally, or locally, or at the whim of the installer. I shall investigate this new world.

Are you aware of any trends in crossing timings? I subjectively feel like it's shorter for me and longer for cars, but I haven't taken scientific timings.

Mark and Engels [or those they studied in and around Manchester] didn't really have gas or electricity bills either, mind.

The proportion of income spent on food is at the basis of the early work Marx and Engels did together. That is, the lower the %, the more stable the society.

I expect to have occasional visits to Hamburg over the long term. I shall hope for a co-incidence.

It has a 'walk-assist' function which means it engages the motor at a high torque but low speed [2kmph] so you can go up steep slopes/ramps etc. It's the future!

Game of Thrones with Mother of the Dragons expansion is a truly epic experience. It allows for 8-player game (which we did last week), adds two factions including Targaryens, and have dragons🐲!
I really like coming back to this great game - tense, & brutal mayhem! @fantasyflightgames.bsky.social

I used to have a German colleague who had done his national service in communications. He told me that A. If there had been conflict he and his buddies would never know as the first to be hit, and B. The Russians used to wish him happy birthday and ask after his mother En clair over the radio.

Most weeks. It's a fun game. Low entry cost - especially if you have some spaceships in the back of the cupboard. And its about 60-90 minutes per game, so there can be two or even three in an evening.

Forgive the fairly random question. Do secondary school teachers in the UK often use rubrics or similar for feedback and marking?
