Paper House for Gamers Updated

A month ago I posted a beta version of a simple models house for wargamers and role players. I’ve had some feedback on it: a request for chimney stacks, variations of the ends and an extension for the ends. I’ve also added some assembly instructions too. I’ve posted the first of the PDFs this morning […]

BBC Program Catalogue

I ment to post this link last night but I was lazy. Came across the BBC’s online program catalogue. Not as detailed as say IMDB and I found a few obvious mistakes that a bit of simple data house keeping would have picked up (eg Between the Lines was a TV series from 1992-1994 but […]

Are they trying to tell me something? Or is Life Complicated?

There was a letter through my front door this morning addressed to Mr Pizza Lover. Junk mail from Domino’s Pizza (a national chain of pizza shops) announcing their new outlet near here.
