kitlond.bsky.social @kitlond.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Anyway the non rower artist delivered a magnificent painting, perspective errors all corrected, but with some new errors in the rigging of the boats. These were immediately spotted by the rowers and I think he was asked to correct those as well. 110
kitlond.bsky.social @kitlond.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Pre AI my rowing club commissioned an artist to paint a replica of a painting of the founders which had been destroyed in WWII but ‘correcting the errors of perspective in the original’ (the guys in the foreground had comically large heads). There were engravings of the original to work from. 110

kitlond.bsky.social @kitlond.bsky.social · 20/07/2026If a submarine is on duty does it have to return to port immediately to get a new letter? Or does it use the old one until its current deployment ends. Given recent PM churn I can see merit in the latter approach… 110

As pupils were allowed to stay on this has allowed people to say he was a privileged private school pupil rather than a clever state school pupil. Seems a bit unfair to me though. 000
