I suggest for your next lesson, you should teach them some respect, prison style!

I'm just making to-do lists. When I'm done I will make a to-do list of lists to do.

So according to this new Robin Hood series the Normans brought Christianity to England.

This will be news to the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Nato 'will stand with Ukraine' to get long-lasting peace, senior official tells BBC Admiral Giuseppe Cavo Dragone tells the BBC the Russia-Ukraine war is bogged down, and it is "almost time to sit and talk".

In a world plagued with uncertainty, it's a relief to discover that an Italian admiral looks exactly like you hope/expect they would.

The Germans probably have a word for it, but Joyxiety sort of fits.

Bring me your most gaming adjacent beer!

You may take away my badge, but you'll never take my nerdity.

I regret nothing!

Never watched:
Jaws
Close Encounters
Titanic
Watched fewer than 6 episodes of X-files

Never managed to get past the awful SFX in the Dark Skies pilot, but I suspect I'm not alone in that.

But I thought it was "easy" and "common sense" would solve everything.

I like my car, but the commute is seldom fun. That said, work has done great things with local bus companies to make our site more accessible, one bus even passes by the end of my road.

If my car's off the road I just work from home.

I think I may be part of the problem 🤔

I'm all good thanks Dave, just isolating a little while longer to make sure I don't bring a plague on all our houses.

I will see you at GrogLaw next month ready to make up for missed socialising.

This will inevitably lead to rumbles with the Bowls Brigade. I'm not sure Royal Leamington Spa is ready for that kind of street fighting.

Four person table at Bouillon Raccine, a traditional 1900's restaurant in Paris.

About 10-15 minutes fron Notre Dame is Bouillon Racine. This restaurant tries to stay very traditional and is not so expensive for where it is (€40 for the a la carte). I didn't have it, but I'm told that the Creme Brulet is amazing.

The worst thing about being ill is that lovely beer won't make you better.

It just doesn't seem right.

...and now someone has realised that the "social event" has also not been booked.

It's okay, they're only expecting 70 people.

53 minutes into the meeting, someone wonders why there is no agenda for the 5 day workshop in two weeks time.

People are still on holiday, so this morning's 90 (NINETY) minute meeting is in danger of not overrunning by 20 minutes, as is the common practice.

Nonsense, you are in your prime!

After reading some Eric Ambler, it occurs to me that there's a rich seam to be mined from 1930's British adventure fiction.

Is time for Bertie Wooster: Nazi hunter?

Why Catalyst Games haven't done Battletech vs Cthulu yet I will never know.

What Dave doesn't know is that a malevolent sorcerer cast a despair geas aimed specifically at him. It's designed to show him all of the worst pub practice his mind can imagine.

Yet he is always drawn to return...

The adventure begins at the Hilton bar during UK Games Expo...

It's all part of the silicon industrial complex plot to make computers obsolete the moment they leave the factory.

I wouldn't mind, but Teams is objectively a terrible meeting platform that puts more strain on my CPU than Mechwarrior 5.

Microsoft SharePoint would be a strong contender for one of the worst pieces of software ever created, were it not for Microsoft Teams.

I could care fewer.

I think I'd be quite good at it as several people have told me that I could boar for England.

Which inevitably leads to "if I bought a few more figures, I could build 3 different configurations." Then you're only a few purchases away from having two full formations. After that comes the third one to round out the company/batallion/whatever.

Then, you need more HQ elements.

Holy crap, that's bad. I hope you find something quickly.

Smugness intensifies... 😇
