Dog Soldiers (2002) 🎬🖤 Directed by Neil Marshall

Really good read

"Where are you going to, little brown mouse? Come for a feast in my logpile house."

I’m really quite surprised at the BBC website today. ‘Here is a video, some people say it does not show what it very obviously shows’ is not how you report this.

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies. I have translated some of the highlights

Literally Japanese high command on the eve of war with the United States

Yes please, more of this type of initiative, UK Gov. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Starmer says he does not think Sauron would use an Orc army or unleash the Nazgûl to seize the one ring.

Went to visit my secondary stash today - first time in a while, and hoo boy it’s not good! 😬😀 #buildthestash

Robert Jenrick complaining that the country is broken is like Fred West complaining that his patio is uneven.

I'd like to share a compilation of videos of how Ukrainians continue to care for stray animals and birds so they can survive the harsh winter cold.

From my old village...

Trump has condemned Iranian violence on protestors, days after his SS squad murdered a protestor. Putin says any U.S. military intervention would be unacceptable. Four years after invading Ukraine. But none of them think international law is necessary.

I was at my son’s doing some essential DIY for him (supposed to be putting up shelves). I looked to see these on the picture ledger - figures I did more than 50 years ago! French Imperial Guard. The Lancer is a Stadden “Standish” metal kit. The Chasseur is a Historex kit.

"Argentina's done it. Russia's done it. Turkey's done it. Venezuela's done it. And Zimbabwe's done it. It's a thing that tin pot dictators do... right before starting a hyperinflation and destroying their own economies."

Operation Barbarossa

How many citizens were killed by police in each country between 2010-2019: Canada: 305 France: 233 Germany: 100 Australia: 53 United Kingdom: 22 United States: 15,008

And here we have a example of a Roman woman wearing her curls in a style popular during the Flavian period

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

AI would get bin day wrong. Every. Single. Week.

‘What’s the last car you stopped to take a picture of?’

Welcome to 2026. Where the world order as we knew it seems to be over. What next? Taiwan? Greenland? Balkans? The U.K. must double down on its relationship with the EU. For it is Europe alone that is now leader of the free world.

Just sneaking in with my 2025 builds. A fairly quiet year for me with work being quite busy! Thanks to all the modellers on here for your support and inspiration over the year 😍

Someone stole my wife's maroon Raleigh Motus bike in Dublin City Centre this afternoon. If you see it, give me a shout

My Avo has been officially retired to the status of ornament!

Well look where our walk has ended up!! Cheers all…😀

Jaws was released across the UK on this day 50 years ago. These terrific photos are from an on set scrapbook kept by actor Al Wilde, who played Harry Wiseman (aka "Bad Hat Harry")

Damn! We lost Chris Rea somewhere driving home for Christmas on the road to hell. Here's a little video I made last year. Seemed appropriate to share it again today. RIP Chris, see on the other side of the road! ✌️🎶🎬 #filmsky #moviesky #cinema

A most excellent thread of old time cats!🐈‍⬛

Peebles on HMS Western Isles, flagship of the Anti-Submarine training school at Tobermory, Scotland (1944). Here, he’s jumping ‘through the hoop’; another party piece was apparently shaking the hands of visitors to the wardroom. 📷 IWM D 20280 🧵2/17

this might be the greatest Christmas photo ever

If you’ve ever enjoyed the Cruel Sea, this is a treat! m.youtube.com/watch?v=PDF9...

If you are unsure about trans people or you want to be an ally please read this short thread from Caroline Litman about her views and her daughter Alice. Thank you. 🙏

"I was never on Epstein's plane." ~Donald J Trump, January 2024 That's odd, because according to the flight logs, he was on Jeffrey's plane SEVEN TIMES. And now some of the newly released Epstein photos are showing Trump on that plane. What to believe, what to believe?

Kremlin dictator Putin on Dec. 2: Russia is ready to ensure the safety of foreign journalists and show them around all neighborhoods in Kupiansk. Ukraine's President Zelenskyy on Dec. 12:

Made a decent start on this fella and happy so far, though still a long way to go. Thing I’m dreading most is hand painting the Stars and Stripes and screaming eagles patches!

Made a start on this chap, on the basis I might get him finished before the New Year. Having another go at zenithal highlighting which I always seem to struggle with…. Also got a stack of finished projects which I need to get proper photos of!

It's a mark of our moral disintegration that there's even a discussion about Ukraine giving up land. To even countenance it is to reward colonialism.
