Happy to share my thoughts, although they may not be representative of all shareholders. We'll need to work out a mutually workable time πŸ‘β˜ΊοΈ

What sort of legal measures might be invoked against me if I get seriously stabby with some the utter fuck nuggets I work with?

The man is an absolute clopper. Does he not see the irony of using images of two aircraft that helped defeat fascism to promote a far-right agenda? Can we deport him instead? To the moon perhaps?

Premier Inn Weymouth tonight and tomorrow,and just to add an extra level of misery while I'm away from home (and thus my modelling bench, research, and The Phantom) I've had to resort to drugs. And not the good kind πŸ™„πŸ€£πŸ€£

Also, in all the excitement,I forgot to tell you all that The Phantom is finally back with me after 7 months in the workshop. There's 7 months of workshop grime and filth on every surface. As soon as I can get her clean, I'll be back out operating /P again πŸ‘πŸ˜
