Wise words from Steve...
A hand-drawn grayscale and blue-toned illustration of a cartoon otter named Steve standing at his desk in an office, wearing a scarf and name tag, and holding a steaming mug of coffee.  

All visible text in the image:  
Name tag on the otter’s chest: “Steve”  
Sticky note on the computer monitor: “Reschedule 3pm if you’d like”  
Tiny flag stuck to the top corner of the monitor: “We’re doing great”  
Logo in the bottom right corner: “in Ötter News”  

Main caption below the scene:  
“Do not seize the day. That only startles it, and nobody wants to deal with an aggressive day before coffee.  

Approach it slowly. Avoid eye contact. Maybe offer a polite nod. Act casual.  

If the day growls, starts making demands, or mentions shenanigans back away quietly and return to bed.”

I'm sure I've seen it, but not sure where it is. I may be biased, but I think Rodney Gordon / Owen Luder did them better

i'm tempted to ask if you decide who has won on the basis of who gets the most dividend stamps but not sure anyone who understands what a co-op adventure game is will understand what i mean...

I'd not heard this before - don't think the 'Born to Choose' compilation was released in the UK.

A play with @natlibscot.bsky.social maps suggest they were built mid 1930s (not visible on 1932 edition, but on 1939 edition) so could have been planned if not built by Bromley Rural District Council before Orpington UDC was formed. Post-war edition shows them as 'Bertrey Cottages'

I can remember the Laurence House site being a long term 'temporary' car park form the 70s with a view to it being used for a road scheme. Then 'Catford Island' (where the retail park is now) being under planning blight for a heck of a long time pending a different traffic scheme...

being pedantic, the 1 was around long before tram replacement, that the Surrey Docks - Aldwych bit has been there since bus route numbers started before 1914. 1920s photo at Lewisham Rennell Street (1 C was a short working of the full route) - www.ltmuseum.co.uk/collections/...
