Suffered a loss with my Orcs against Skaven in a #BloodBowl league match as 4 of my team KO'd in the first half. I caused one casualty in the whole match and otherwise never inflicted more than a Stun. Sometimes Nuffle isn't my friend.

Yesterday evening in Birmingham people were advised to get home before 8pm. We left for home at 7pm for a usually a 10 minute drive; it took 45 minutes with other cars skidding on slopes, driving up grass verges, and overtaking queues, causing even more problems as they blocked the oncoming traffic.

The Winter tweeds are put from storage. Watching 'Only Murders In The Building' and now want more smart scarves.

Counting down the days until Halloween where I get to confuse the trick or treating kids by dressing as The Doctor from 45 years ago. #DoctorWho

My new #BloodBowl Skaven team from Realm of Paths. Really like these models and I have 6 other Skaven teams already.

My two pugs. Spencer, the Pirate Pug ☠️ and Penny. #DogsofBlueSky

A selection of one-liners and short witticisms I found 1. 99% of politicians give the rest a bad name. 2. I don't suffer from insanity; I enjoy every minute of it. 3. Never go to other people's funerals; they won't go to yours. 4. You can't have everything; where would you put it?

Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day? Thou art far too hot for me and stop me getting sleep.

Today, our two loons met their pug friends, Douglas and Delilah. #pugs

This is madness. Political entry screenings…

If you see this, post an image you saved because it made you laugh.

Never forget that #SesameStreet once did a sketch based on Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal, which involved a Swedish fisherman counting seals until he found the seventh one.

A guy about 60 years old just walked by the pool that I am sat by with his wife and, upon seeing my tattoo, raised his fist and exclaimed "For the Horde!"

Penny on her walk today. #pug

A precious drop of sanity in the whorling discourse. buttondown.com/cooray_smith...

No spoilers. Doctor Who has changed. Change is good. It had surprises, met some expectations, and at least one rumour was true.. sort of. I expected one character to die, but not in the way they did. I expected the ending, but not in the way it resolved. A nice guest appearance I didn't expect.

Just two lovely puggies enjoying their walk in the sun. #DogsofBlueSky #pugs

I will soon be running another D&D campaign ..with dinosaurs! They won't be helping run it .. but will feature in it; a specific feature to draw in new players. #D&D #DungeonsAndDragons #DND

Multiple trips with special cigars to Jet's Hole to unlock Engineer Hera Tani (for surface scanner boost). #EliteDangerous

Loving my new Mandalay. 12+LY extra jump range on my AspX, AMAZING heat management, allowing jumps straight from some fuel scoopings, which in turn are faster. Add in Supercruise Overdrive and exploration is just easier. ##EliteDangerous

Back home, got Mandalay and left my new ship at home station to visit the stores etc on foot for the first time. Also part-upgraded ship with Engineering. Now I need more materials to finish that. #EliteDangerous

That time when a talented comic maker decided to include my #LARP character in a story.

AA .. perfect .. needed new batteries 😉 #EliteDangerous

#LARP 20 years ago and now. Have I aged much? 😉 Let's discount mentally .. discount it a lot.

“Well,----me,” he said. “A----ing wizard. I hate----ing wizards!” “You shouldn’t----them, then,” muttered one of his henchmen, effortlessly pronouncing a row of dashes.” ― Terry Pratchett, quote from Mort

Last night my 2nd D&D party (I DM 2 parties, 1 running behind the other in the campaign plot) summoned what they then discovered to be a murderous genie, eventually beat it and then discovered an ancient tomb of either a killer genie or killer of genies. What could possibly go wrong? #DND #AlQadim

On behalf of the family I've been asked to share the official announcement of the death of the wonderful Christopher Benjamin. Actor, father, husband and friend. #christopherbenjamin #actor

R.I.P. Christopher Benjamin. Seen here with Trevor Baxter in Doctor Who - The Talons of Weng Chiang by Robert Holmes (2nd April 1977).

Butter wouldn't melt. Spencer and Penny looking cute. #pugs #DogsofBlueSky

Just devoured the entire Bernice Summerfield Eternity Club saga from @bigfinish.bsky.social in one go. Standing ovation for @gossjam.bsky.social, @verbatimfoley.bsky.social, @lisabowerman.bsky.social, and all involved. THIS is what audio drama is for. Very much hoping for more with this cast!

On National Dress Up Your Pet Day, here are Ellie Wan Kenobi and Spencer Windu; pug jedi. #DogsofBlueSky #pugs

Just finished watching Blake's 7, Series 1 on Blu-Ray. Fascinating watching Behind-the-Scenes material, and then watching out for things mentioned, like the double for Travis.

Easy like Sunday morning. #pugs #DogsofBlueSky

My #LARP alter-ego (very much ego), Fubar, and myself with a mini-Fubar made by a lovely friend.

With our broadband down, we have pulled out some discs to watch. Tonight, Cannonball Run 1 & 2. "Boy, nun, boy, nun." Marilu Henner stole my heart when I was a young man.

After a significant breakfrom exploring the galaxy, I have updated #EliteDangerous and am now BACK .. IN .. SPAAACE!

Fubar in his smart togs .. though without lower face makeup. #LARP

There's another empty bed right next to them. They also snorers more this way. Love them. #pugs #puglife #DogsofBlueSky

I dreaded my last game of #BloodBowl against a Dwarf team. Their Tackle skill negated my Dodge .. but tactical play to spread the dwarves out resulted in a 1-1 resulted. I suffered 2 injuries and forced a Trollslayer into retirement.

I realised recently that this is the first time we in England have had a King MacBeth. Doesn't bode well if Shakey's play is anything to go by. Beth is of course short for Elizabeth. Mac means 'Son of'. Beth 1 didn't have any kids ..and even if she did, none became monarch.

My #D&D party cleared the dungeon .. except for this room. They cleared the flaking plaster on the wall to reveal a full ritual spell to summon someone or something. What's the worst that could happen?

Three-way cuddle. #pugs #DogsofBlueSky
