Yesterday Kier Starmer announced Labour will nationalise British Steel, and save 2700 jobs. Today, the Uni of Nottingham put 2700 staff at risk of redundancy. This is just one university. Across the UK 15,000 higher education jobs need saving. Where is the rescue package for our universities?

The Gammony blowhards who bleat that the reason Brexit is a fuck up is because it wasn't "done properly" are like the old Marxists I encountered in the late 80s who spent all their time saying the reason Russia was in a mess was because they hadn't "done Communism properly"

Advertised in May 1985 : A time when it was Pork Pie month, a time when it was an annual event. What a time to be alive. 😀

Playtesting the scenario for Battle of Lewes with @mogsymakes.bsky.social A much bigger version will appear at Partizan next weekend. Miniatures mostly from the collection of @thatchapscrivs.bsky.social #Nerdlings #SpreadTheLard #Midgard #Wargames #BaronsWar youtu.be/DVyy1hpN1ZI

Good to see Mick Hucknall there on the Warrington bench #CCWarHKR

It's been a long while since we had news of a project change because of elf-dwellings and it's high time, I say. Article heading: Hot-water pipeline rerouted to avoid offending elves.

Reading the media the last few days, you’d have thought that Reform had swept to power across the country. The reality is they have less than 1,000 out of 18,645 seats and control just 12 of 369 councils. More or less the same as The Greens. Everyone needs to take a breath.

Rugby League lookalikes

Over the course of 2025, we sensitively restored St Deiniol's church in Worthenbury, which is undoubtedly one of the finest Georgian churches in all of Wales. 1/7

This wally has come to live with us. His name is Max and he's a handsome chap #Caturday

Your Nan could score tries against this Dragons defence but that flick by Best was a thing of beauty #NRL #RugbyLeague #NRLDragonsKnights

Gutho to Super League. Loved him at Eels, but he's no longer NRL quality. He could have a few years absolutely carving it up for Catalans or FC or someone #NRL #RugbyLeague

Terrific test play of my Battle of Lewes 1264 scenario in preparation for Partizan with chum Tom. Using Midgard Heroic Battles, the game went the full six turns and was full of drama. #miniatures #wargaming #spreadthelard #midgardheroicbattles #nerdlings
