Some mornings just call for a hearty, comforting skillet of potatoes — the kind that brown beautifully, smell amazing, and make you feel like you’re starting the day on the right foot. This small‑batch Potatoes O’Brien is perfect for one or two people, with tender par‑boiled potatoes, sweet onions, and colourful...
It’s a given, isn’t it, that pubs are a good thing and deserve protection? Well, it turns out that many people disagree. At the weekend the UK Government announced new planning rules that make it harder to turn pubs into homes or offices. To push ahead with this kind of conversion, developers will now need to show...
The old Luggage Store Gallery on Market Street in San Francisco is long gone, and along with it the great hallway entrance that was festooned with graffiti. I walked up and, later, down that staircase many times to attend concerts. I can’t go back, but every once in a while one of the many pictures I took of the...
A few days ago, I posted about M’s speech to Bond in GoldenEye. Go watch that again: at a certain point, she quickly presses some buttons to reveal a TV and a ….PowerPoint (?) about General Orumov.This is what I call ā€œspy briefing room PowerPoint syndrome.ā€ No matter what happens, someone always has these...
The first of my 1:144 Albatros D-III flight is done, now that decals have arrived so I don't have to go mad painting the markings.The decals came from Miscellaneous Miniatures, and their service was very good.

Sometimes subtlety is overrated, and the direct approach is needed.One must have tact. There is a time for patience and for choosing one’s words with care, for the sake of hidden meanings or to let another arrive at the truth in his own good time.But then there are also monsters.In Jackson, IL, the characters know...
Tuesday 18th August 2026 READER ALERT (+ high pitch screeching sound from smartphone/tablet/computer).……. The following contains opinions. So those one or two readers who often comment they reckon this blog should only contain factual and well researched content, please look away now and come back on Thursday. A...
In the great pantheon of Austin clubs, live music bars, dives, and dumps, Hole in the Wall on Guadalupe Street looms large. Probably top five. It’s been a thing since the early ’70s, and plenty of people have come out of there and played on the stage and all that kind of stuff. There’s all kinds of memorialization...
And day 5. Ron…. Day 5. Sunny and breezy. Bus into Douglas to take the minibus route to Peel through the back doubles including a long one way loop to Niarbyl. Afterwards took bus to Castletown for a midday break before carrying on to Port Erin where we spent some time sitting on cliff top before taking last train...
