Sometime artist, sometime writer, most times bewildered. Comics & figure collector. I like me a bit of history, too. Be kind to each other, People. Life's too short.

I have no love for the Iranian theocracy, and do not mourn the death of the Ayatollah, but at the same time I fail to see how the situation can be improved by bringing to the boil an area that is always a cauldron simmering and bubbling with anti-western discontent.

Interesting observation: I cross posted an observation across thee platforms but it’s only on Threads that the Colonel Blimps have swollen with apoplexy.

HMRC have just sent me notification of my tax code for 2026-27. After my state pension, I am allowed to earn Β£2.88 a month tax free.I won’t be the only one seeing their occupational pension being scalped.

Watching University Challenge. I’ve successfully answered about 30% of the questions off the top of my head before either team.

THERE IS NO ONE HERE TO WITNESS THIS UNPRECEDENTED PERFORMANCE!!!

In the month since I retired, I have lost between 5 and 7 lbs. Mainly because I’m not snacking out of boredom.

Once the weather perks up and I get walking more regularly, the world will be my lobster (IYKYK).

Watching the Winter Olympics and I am distracted by the thought that the Giant Slalom should be some kind of massive furry cryptid that lives in the Andes…

The so-called elites were surely always corrupt, but now they are also feckless and unable to hide it.

Can someone explain to me how Native American people are somehow no longer considered to be American?

Decided to start watching β€œThe War Between the Land and the Sea”.

This is where the money went that could have funded more Who. Not sure that would have been worth the trouble though. I think Rusty has shot his bolt.

Still in Hammerfest. The anchor has frozen in place; they are going to move the ship to pull it free.

On our way to TromsΓΈ as we sail north. Given the short period of daylight yesterday, in BodΓΈ, I thought I’d check for sunrise.

11.29am.
