Me and my oldest mates spent the day in Bristol, buying records and drinking booze (we also had an excellent lunch as a Lebanese restaurant). So here is my haul....first up @specialistsubject.bsky.social I got these 3 for a tenner.

We have to read a book out loud every morning with our tutor group. I've started a new one this morning. Warlock of Firetop mountain. Already killed an Orc and stole his gold and pet mouse.

Well, I was convinced that that Elizabeth Holmes clip was an actress in dorky make up and manufactured scene with 3 cameras, but turns out its a documentary. Reality is so confusing. Time to chuck all the tech in the bin and go live in the woods.

This Warlord Titan was painted back around 1990 for my epic Nurgle army he was a quick paint job and used during playtesting at lunch times and after work in the GW design studio. I enjoyed those times getting to play stuff early and have an input on stuff from the golden age diehardminiatures.com

This has really pissed me off, if you're in the area and can afford it go and give the cafe owner some money to help fund the kids meals. And if he refuses buy yourself a nice coffee and tip him as much as you can. Fuck Reform taking food from kids in need. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

The Grumpy Cook website has a ‘Pay It Forward’ scheme where you can pay for a range of meals for people who may be struggling. These range from a small breakfast through to a family pack lunch and also including a child’s meal. The prices are suggested and start at £2.00. grumpycook.co.uk/shop/

Lard game day! As it stands we are good to go albeit with only a few games on so far. However we still have time to add more games and players so please share this around! I also think it will be a good plan to chat about details on the Lard forum to bring everyone to one place. #SpreadTheLard

Recently reminded how good these two albums were, used to have them on Vinyl, need to try and get them back. Just before their huge success with Summer Breeze. Quality stuff. Giving it back is all covers of stuff like Dylan, Hendrix and Stills etc.

It is done!! Inspired by the 2003 codex cover art "Eye of Terror" by Karl Kopinski Made for a local painting challenge with Abaddon assigned per dice roll and the theme "treasure". (crushing Cadia is a "treasured moment" for him 😇) #minipainting #warhammer40k #abaddon #eyeofterror #osl #cadia
Full frontal photograph of the finished "Eye of Terror" piece based on the iconic artwork by Karl Kopinsky.

It features Abaddon the Despoiler, standing in flames surrounded by his black legion - visualized through converted epic scale marines - holding and crushing the planet Cadia in front of a backdrop that shows the Eye of Terror spiral galaxy in pink, magenta, purple and blue coloration.Close-up photograph of the sword Drach'nyen, which is part of the "Eye of Terror" miniature piece based on the iconic artwork by Karl Kopinsky.

It also shows the arm and shoulder of Abaddon the Despoiler, who is standing in flames in front of a backdrop that shows the Eye of Terror spiral galaxy in pink, magenta, purple and blue coloration.Two side-by side side views of this piece based on the iconic artwork "Eye of Terror" by Karl Kopinsky.

It features Abaddon the Despoiler, standing in flames surrounded by his black legion - visualized through converted epic scale marines - holding and crushing the planet Cadia in front of a backdrop that shows the Eye of Terror spiral galaxy in pink, magenta, purple and blue coloration.Vertically split comparison of the iconic artwork "Eye of Terror" by Karl Kopinsky (right) and my version (left) for which I used a backdrop plinth, the modern miniature of Abaddon the Despoiler, with sculpted planet in powerclaw as well as a number of Imperialis "epic scale" marines.

I'm hiding this under a pic of Frank because obvs word count issues. Here's how to complain to the Electoral Commission about Reform's 'vote for us or you get concentration camps' bullshit. Details in the pic.
Cut and paste the below and send to the Electoral Commission addresses at the end:

"Formal Complaint: Undue Influence and Coercive Campaigning by Reform UK

Dear Electoral Commission Regulatory Team,

I am writing to formally lodge a complaint regarding the campaign tactics recently announced by Reform UK on May 4, 2026.  

The party's home affairs spokesperson has publicly committed to a policy of "prioritising" the placement of migrant detention centres—with a proposed capacity of 24,000 individuals—specifically in constituencies and council areas that vote for the Green Party. Conversely, the party has "guaranteed" that areas electing Reform UK representatives will be exempt from these facilities.  

I believe this constitutes "Undue Influence" under the Representation of the People Act, as it uses the threat of infrastructure placement to pressure citizens into voting a certain way or to penalise them for their existing political affiliations. This tactic appears designed to:  

•⁠  ⁠Intimidate voters by threatening negative local consequences for their democratic choices.  

•⁠  ⁠Incentivise votes through the promise of specific geographic exemptions that are not based on administrative or logistical necessity, but purely on partisan alignment.  

Threatening to punish specific geographical areas based on their voting record is a violation of the principle that elections should be free from coercion. I urge the Commission to investigate whether this policy breaches the Electoral Code of Conduct or the legal prohibitions against intimidatory behavior in campaigning.  

I look forward to your response regarding the steps being taken to ensure the integrity of the 2026 local and further national elections."

send emails to press@electoralcommission.org.uk and complaints@electoralcommission.org.uk

A lovely weekend playing Warhammer Old World against lovely opponents. Took my number of games up into double figures and had my Renegade Crowns do rather well. Played against Dwarfs twice, Orcs once and got severely eaten by Beastmen. #warhammer #oldworld #oldhammer #warhammertheoldworld
First game against Zak's Dwarfs, great game and I squeezed out a win.3rd game against Battie's Orcs and Goblins,  managed to pull down his giant and his Mangler squig and charged him Boarboys, again pulling off a win.Leonardo tries to ask the Warboss not eat his cannon Final game against Dwarfs.....erm, he wasn't having a good game at this point.
