I keep forgetting that it's that time of year again.

I already own it, but yes regardless. And I don't know if it's possible but an opportunity to complete the Gardenia books would be smegging great too.

That's more like it. A win at the death, away from home, for Worcester Warriors.

Good game Caldy. Solid defence and unlucky to lose that one.

Hate doing this, because everyone is skint, but Oz is the only important thing in my life and I'm too broke to cover his additional surgery. If you'd like to help, please use OZVET20 at checkout on fenrisgames.com/shop for a nice discount or ko-fi.com/fenrisgames if you don't need toys.
Thankyou πŸ’”

I've seen them support Steve Hillage a couple of times (and then play as his backing band straight after). I concur.

I'll admit that my main reason for grabbing a batch of these paints is because I've wanted to buy the two mugs Army Painter sells for a long while, and the reduced paints was justification to spend enough to get free shipping. Ahem.

Less than a minute to play and Worcester throw the game away by box kicking instead of retaining possession and going through the phases. No surprise that Doncaster scored a try from it.

I'm glad my club is back, but that is incredibly sloppy. Must do better.

Fantastic to see Worcester Warriors back on the field again. Thank you to Ampthill for being wonderful hosts.

And a lovely (if slightly confusing at first) walk through the woods to reach the pitch!

I bought TSC on release, where it remained unread on my shelf until 2023. Glad I finally read it, of course, but it took a long time to build up the courage to do so. Heartbreaking and hopeful in equal measure.

How it started (about six hours ago) vs how its going.

Finally making progress on painting my Combat Patrol models. Tomorrow I move onto the first use of Mephiston Red and Squig Orange!

I had another one sent by the British Library a couple of months ago. It went from the North West superhub, straight past me in the West Mids, and ended up stuck in London for a couple of days, before finally arriving a few days later.

A screenshot of a Royal Mail tracker, dated 12 August 2025, showing a parcel moving from the Midlands Super Hub, to Birmingham MC, then inexplicably to Preston MC, which sits in completely the opposite of the parcel's intended direction of travel.

Royal Mail don't often go wrong in my experience, but when they do they make sure to do so spectacularly.

For context, this item was sent to me from Stafford, went in the right direction to Brum MC, then went two hours in the wrong direction up north to Preston.

The tradition continues (cut me some slack for 2020, it was a weird year).

No idea why 1 July has always felt like a Robin Hood: Men in Tights day, but so it goes.

Very happy to have reached my 25th donation of whole blood. Shame its taken 10 years to hit this target since reaching 10 donations in 2015 (thanks covid), but now the road to 50 begins! (at the current rate - sometime in 2031 I believe, all being well).

Never watched @dimension20.bsky.social before this week. Saw the AMA on Reddit with @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social for Titan Takedown... and I am a full convert to the cause.

Subscribed to Dropout and starting to work through... well, everything.

And I would love TT season 2 please.

And while I absolutely adore Maiden's Brave New World, the two albums Blaze made with them are far better than they get credit for.

Hah. Flawless Blades, not Faultless. The irony is not lost on me. In my defence, I've just finished reading Lucius The Faultless Blade and clearly still have it on the brain.

I did also grab the Lucius, Faultless Blade and Kakophonist models (and Fabius Bile while I was in the area), but they were lower down on the priorities list as I could have grabbed them later if needed.

Likewise with Fulgrim - lovely model but it can wait.

Another week, another stressful #Warhammer pre-order window.

For the briefest of moments it looked like I wouldn't get the regular hardback of Fulgrim and a set of the Emperor's Children dice (yes, expensive, but also yes, look cool), but my order went through in time. Phew.

Spider-Man Voice Actor Says His β€˜Biggest Fear’ Was the New Disney+ Series β€˜Was Gonna Be Annoying and Woke’ Hudson Thames, who voices Peter Parker in 'Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man,' said he was worried the show would be 'annoying and woke.'

Hudson Thames sounds like a delightful young man. "Woke". Geez. Clearly never read an issue of Spider-Man in his life.

Stew, if you see this from your anonymous account, a massive thank you from a second row attendee for yet another hilarious show. Haven't laughed that much in a very long time.

Comedy with bite, mayhap?
