I think you all need to tone it down... It's easier to brush over these things, move on, gloss over it and varnish the truth.

I encourage my son (4 years old) to read as much as possible... When he wants fantasy, wizards, life lessons and relatable characters I have the entire Discworld for him... Balls to Joke Growling and her agenda

Now run by a far right chap... Called me a "fucking leftie", stated (wrongly) that the majority of sexual offences in the UK are committed by immigrants and expressed his great love of Nigel Fagend and how he believes Facebook over real news... Also runs Cheese... I will never drink in either again

After a shit week I need something good to eat... Chicken thighs, lots of tomatoes, a bulb of garlic, basil and decent olive oil... Will be worth the hour and a half cooking time

So... Mum in hospital with pneumonia... Dad with Alzheimer's understandably struggling... Fucking awful but I don't think my brothers' and I have ever pulled together so much... Fuck Alzheimer's... Horrible illness

So... England's cunning plan was the same plan we have used countless times before which didn't work the first time... Defend for over 20 minutes in the hope of not losing, rather than try to win...

Black pudding... Growing up it appeared on my plate when I was deemed of age. Loved it, much later found out what it was and couldn't have cared less... I think exposure like this led to me exploring eating many livers, hearts, tongues and lung... Lung has the texture of mushroom

I need help... I want to finally buy an airbrush but have no concept where to even start... I am working on a budget so any entry level ideas would be appreciated. #nerdlings #paintingminis #paintingwarhammer #minipainting

Your colour choice was right, the application was right and you found a way to improve... My first mini was a shitshow... So you are one ahead of me already

Danny @oldgeek1981.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

I first painted a mini over 30 years ago... Not sure I would change anything on your mimic now. Fab work...

I can't imagine that Nigel Fagend and Dicky Lice would support you... Neither would racist prick Yakult-Lemon... In my eyes you would be a vote winner though. Vote Geordie

A good friend of mine gifted me these, which was very kind and very unexpected... First thing I am doing is finding proper sized slotta bases, none of this modern sizing nonsense... #warhammercommunity #nerdlings

Back in the mists of time I used to try desperately to get a mini I painted into the cabinet of GW Hull... This was the mini that I managed to achieve that goal with. Yours is fantastic and many thanks for the warm nostalgia this post gave me.

Danny @oldgeek1981.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

They really are... I painted one in the traditional method, took a hell of a lot longer to do and, to my eye at least, was no better as a completed mini. Technically better, but aesthetically not

You might have inspired me just a tad...

I live in Hull, which for reasons I can't recall, decided to have its own independent phone network way back when. They do seem to have a decent grasp of full fibre though... I am not even on the quickest package so my max is 500mbps

I deliberately bought a ton of Speedpaints so I could introduce my son to painting... He will be painting orcs that I could make decent money for on eBay from a WHFB starter box but some things are far more important

He is a constant reminder of happiness and how children grow... He loves sharing his achievements (his monster truck beat mine in the hallway race) but he can show shame when he does wrong. We couldn't have designed him better if we had the choice... Trite but trur

Danny @oldgeek1981.bsky.social · 01/04/2026

Thanks... His mum might have helped... In a way... Massively... I was in the background... Honestly, we raise him to be polite, kind, honest... The rest we are making up as we go along

Danny @oldgeek1981.bsky.social · 01/04/2026

If she did my son never got there because he was too full of cake to make the journey

Danny @oldgeek1981.bsky.social · 01/04/2026

They happen all the time... Most are too tired to celebrate them... Given the state of the world, I don't blame them. It's hard to look for the positive if you look at the news... I just decided to share one thing that made me, and my son, happy because it made me happy

130

Danny @oldgeek1981.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

They don't... I just don't think we celebrate them enough

Danny @oldgeek1981.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

Thank you... I hope my son is the reflection of my best parts in the same way. He is better than me in every single way and I love him unconditionally... I believe that is intertwined and all I can do is guide him, praise his success and support him when he falls

Danny @oldgeek1981.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

It really does... She had no reason to buy my son cake other than to recognise he was a good lad... In a world where you can do anything, she chose kindness and that's a wonderful thing

Danny @oldgeek1981.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

They are... My son loved it, a little less so than the lady who bought him the cake who loved being so generous

Danny @oldgeek1981.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

It's so easy to let the world drag you down... But little things can travel a long way. My son grounds me, delights me, loves me and frustrates me every day and I cannot imagine a world without him

Cheers to us parents who raise kids to just be decent, fun, polite, inquisitive and, above all else, free to be just kids

Random acts of kindness can mean so much... It just makes the world a healthier place

Danny @oldgeek1981.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

Thank you... I don't know if I am a nice person, I am just the best i can be and am trying to raise my son to be just that. He amazes, astounds, bewilders and frustrates me daily so hopefully I am doing ok

Danny @oldgeek1981.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

It is amazing when others recognise the good in others... Terry Pratchett (my favourite author since I was 11) wrote a lot about morality, being kind, doing the right thing and being a "gentle man" rather than being a "gentleman". I am just trying to pass on those values

Danny @oldgeek1981.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

All I want him to be is the best he can be for himself and others... Kind, compassionate, articulate, brave and, importantly, wrong at times and learn from it

Danny @oldgeek1981.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

It really does... In a world where you can be anything, be kind. My son was very grateful and did his best to eat it all despite it being roughly the size of a small moon.

My son had chocolate cake bought for him by a lovely lady in the pub where we had tea because he was a "lovely lad"... In a world where shit seems to be occurring by the second that was a lovely gesture... I am a proud dad

Our family dog died 26 years ago... After the grieving my mum simply stated she would never go through that again as we lost a "part of our family". You do what's best for you and yours and ignore those who think they know what's best for you
