The telly: “It’s only a mouse dear…”
Me: “Are these the worst ads ever?”
pink_weasel: “No”
“Half price sale at…”
“DFS! DFS ads make me want to kill people”
“Unlike esure ads that make you want to kill one person?”
“Yes!”

Sellers on eBay who don’t leave feedback until after the buyer has left feedback. I mean come on, as soon as the seller has paid he’s fulfilled his end of the bargain, leave feedback then. There’s a real petty mindedness to the “wait and see if they leave a negative so I can leave a negative too” attitude that some sellers seem to have.

Not quite dinosaurs but close, HLBS Co have released a range of deep sea divers and ocean dwelling creatures, including several prehistoric marine reptiles.

There’s not much else available for 25/28mm scale time travellers who like to get their feet wet.

HLBS Co used to have a Tylosaurus and an Elasmosaurus as waterline models and DZ MIniatures had a very large but utterly fantastic waterline Lipleurodon. If you see any these for sale you should first grab as many as you can and secondly let me know so I can grab the rest.

Steve Barber Models do some cavemen mucking about in the water and a Carcharadon Megalodon (rough translation “fecking huge shark with fecking huge teeth”) to gobble them up.

And Flagship Games have a Ictheasaur (sic), that at 8″ must represent one of the 15m giants such as Shonisaurus.

I’ve got a ‘third interview’ for a job that I really want. Apparantly I’m on a short list of one (though I’m not sure whether that’s one candidate from my recruitment consultant or one candidate altogether) and the final hurdle is to spend an afternoon next week with the team to see if we can work together. In other words I’ve done everything I can do to win the job and now I’ve got one last chance to lose it. Gulp.
