My latest video is on YouTube. This is part of a series I call "Making Mistakes So You Don't Have To", where I impatiently attack a project with no research or prior knowledge.* I paint some scenics with Green Stuff World chipping medium. *just like god and my face. youtu.be/ykcZDFxrkqk |

I've watched Amipals latest vid, and I can certainly tell you that I once owned an Amiga.
My video will be up tonight in a new segment called "Making Mistakes So You Don't Have To" where I deliberately tackle a project without any prior research.*
OTTM: we're risking going to the cinema tonight to see Empire Strikes Back for its 40th anniversary. I can't decide who will be the more terrifying masked individual, Darth Vader or the sweaty covid nerds.
* this is how I approach everything, it just happens that I recorded this.

Or shot him with a tazer? Why the need to immediately go lethal?
I get it, America is a potentially dangerous place since they're all gun mad, but if you believe youre in danger from an unarmed man walking away from you because you think he's going for a gun, just tazing him should be the go to surely. Not just shooting him in the back in front of his kids.
And that counts regardless of what crimes you have served time for in the past. Once you've served your sentence, unless you are a danger to society, your time should be done, a clean slate to restart a life youve fucked up.

Latest stateside shooting.... Holy fuck. Bet they get away with it as “resisting arrest” or something. It gets worse. All he was doing was breaking up a fight. His kids were in the car. He's alive but critical. I dont understand why some people don't get* why maybe there's an undercurrent of anger about this sort of thing. * well I do, they're daft racists, I just don't like to think about it. |

I do not mind the face masks too much. They are nothing in comparison to wearing medical style latex gloves for hours. I did not enjoy that at all. It is a pretty unpleasant experience. It probably helps that I don't wear glasses. I understand the glasses/mask interface leads to steaming up on a regular basis. Get some Nitrile gloves; even the cheapskate NHS have stopped using latex (apart from sex therapy). Nitrile gloves still make your hands sweat like Boris Johnson was just asked to give a straight answer to a simple question. Good luck getting on a new pair if you have to change them for whatever reason. I usually blow into mine* to get them on over my sweaty, red, farmers hands. *you heard |

Mask chat
10 years ago i worked in a job that required wearing a mask, often for up to 6 hours at a time. It was hot and sweaty and, as I'm massivley claustrophobic, psychologically uncomfortable.
And as for school, I can imagine there are a bunch of wee idiots that will make it difficult for everyone.
But...if you can advise your kids to wear one, please do so. There's this whole "oh kids are asymptomatic, so they'll be fine" thing going on, but that's wishful thinking. Its true that many, if not most, are, but it CAN still kill them.
I get it, they're at best a ball ache and at worst make you a target, but school isn't forever.
Jesus, if your adult life was defined by your school years I'd be a nervous, mentally shattered, lifeless turbo-nerd with bad hair, instead of the...oh.
Seriously though, its not worth NOT wearing one.

Interesting experience in the shops tonight.
Some boot was right up in our personal space, leaning over us to look at something. In the non infectious days id have told her to back up. When I did so, politely mind, I got a condescending look and "im wearing my mask"
When I told her we should still keep 2 metres apart she sneered "I happen to be a police officer"
She wasn't best please when i asked "whats the got to do with anything. The advice is 2 metres, its just common sense"
She mumphed something and scuttled off.
I wonder what planet I was born on. It wasn't this one, because I just fundamentally don't understand people like this.

Today I had lunch outside.
With 2 ladies.
Neither of whom was my wife.
Like some kind of bohemian!
I'm training the two newest members of our team, who happen to be of the female persuasion, which is a breath of fresh air (figuratively and literally) because our team is an absolute sausage fest. And as non football type and general sensitive soul its nice to not have to go on about bloody sports and talking about the size of our balls all day.

MrTiddles If you contact Amazon Customer Services and point out that your new laptop is now £37 cheaper they should refund the difference. Worth a try. Use their online Chat option. Chatting? Online? It'll never take off. |

I am also in need of a new laptop*. I see talk of a "good deal", wouldst thou be kindest enough to share dear boxers? is the one I bought and recommended to Mr Tids. Be aware though, it's not a gaming laptop if that's what you're looking for. Mr Tids - bad news it's back down to £212.... I've got a gaming rig (old and outdated, like my face), I just need one for general administration and keeping my electronic life in order. Thanks all. |

I've had to come in to work today. I will also have to come in tomorrow. This aggression will not stand! I've even had to press my formal chaps. Games: I started a NG of Spiderman, so I can shoot my web fluid legally all over the city. OTTM: I got some lovely scenic pieces from an Italian company. I did a Facebook live unboxing video on my Cyberhaggis page, because I am just SO COOL. www.facebook.com/groups/760610021358368/?ref=share |

I've got your nuclear bomber right here pal. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersonic_Low_Altitude_MissileSLAM missle, designed to throw a load of nukes about the place, then fly around at low altitude spewing nuclear shit all over the Soviets from its unshielded nuclear engine. Was in the drawing board for 9 years before even the American decided it was too fucking crazy. |

Games: no Work: one of the managers is leaving, and I've done a classic "dead man's shoes" and claimed his office. It has a window and everything. OTTM:kid next door has been having "behavioural issues", poor thing, can't be easy right now. Trouble is her dad keeps coming round to apologise for the noise she's making, when in fact more often I hear him shouting at her than any noise she makes. He's a nice enough guy, and I'm sure its a difficult situation for him as well, but surely that can't be helping. But as the old lady round the back said "they're council" I thought the dead man's shoes 'classic move' was filling his teapot with class a drugs? You need to move up a gear If anyones getting a teapot full of smack then its me. I won't be moving up a gear, because I've taken all the gear already. |

Hi chat fans
Other than my further delving into the land of being the biggest miniature* youtuber, I've also been sucked into Norman's Pies again.
Not sure why, its still just one giant fetch quest, but it is almost totally mindless, so it suits me.
Back door leaked in all the rain. This is not a euphemism.
*I could not be happier with this part of the sentence.

MelvazordGood luck getting some traction! I have an Instagram account to try to draw attention to my YouTube channel, but can't say I've seen any increase in traffic as a result. Have you tried being less boring? I jest* The bonus I've got is that wargamers are all sad shut ins, so they crave human attention that only the Internet can bring them. In any case, I've got more views in 2 days for my second video than I did in 7 for my first, and I've done all thumbnails and professional shit for my 3rd. Genuinely just enjoying doing it. Probably the lack of recent human contact. *my face is a jest |

I'm quite enjoying this influencer lark. Give it 6 months and there will be a picture of me with my arse hanging out a pair of jorts which will break the internet* I've set up a Facebook page for my channel to " generate views"** m.facebook.com/groups/760610021358368And just to wet your whistle, heres a sneak preview of next week's tutorial. Now I just need to find a way to sell my bathwater.  *or people will punch their monitors, same difference **this is influencer speak for "attract rubes" |

Bribing your viewers to leave comments? I see you are playing the YouTube algorithm like a Stradivarius. Soon you will be able to solicit donations in money and in kind as the fan mail keeps rolling in. If there's one thing I know, it's fiddling on the Internet. You heard. |
