Today was the SELWG show, back for the first time since 2006. So once again I had a nice stroll up the hill and then a few hours shopping and gawping at the games.

The renovated Crystal Palace Sports Centre meant that there was considerably more room for the Bring and Buy sale and for the first time ever I actually found something I wanted to buy. The B&B wasn’t helped by people standing in front of it chatting to their mates who were serving. Come on guys, I know that shows are a chance to catch up with old friends but not whilst they’re trying to run the most chaotic and crowded part of the whole show.

But the highlight was a buying these chaps and if you don’t get why they’re so exciting to me, take a look at the original paint scheme, and if that still means nothing to you then I can only say that this was a nostalgic trip back to my childhood.


  • Off to #SELWG, nice walk up the hill and then a few hours of wargamery goodness. #
  • Hmmm. That doesn't really count as fixed but at least we're both inside now. #
  • The bloody gate won't unlock. I can't get out and @mrs_weasel can't get in. Really hope the locksmith can fix it. #

  • Tweet length compilation? Code that compiles quickly enough not to go and do something else, but slowly enough not to sit and watch it. #
  • Is there a word for taking 9 hours to realise that you made a typo in your last tweet? #

Vaguely in honour of Monty Python’s anniversary and vaguely in honour of the fact that I haven’t posted in ages. Here’s a quick dive into the spam comments folder. Except I can only find two that are remotely interesting. Maybe I need to learn to read Russian.

What is the budget and head count of the office of accountability?

Ooo, I like the sly “why is there only one Monopoly Commission” implication behind the question. However, in this case the answer is very easy to find.

How do people actually make money with porn?

They sell it to other people.


  • How did the the price label from my beer bottle end up perfectly attached to my pint glass? Great is the power of the Bishop's Finger? #fb #
  • It's October, so I'm working on a Christmas web site. #fb #
