Come on folks! sign up for this. You get to play in the same game over the weekend.

No more swapping every X hours, and having to cobble another set of rules in your head, or a different set of dice.

Help make this a thing that happens every year, come play in my Hunter game, it's ghostly.

Wasted Wind Britain wastes millions a day switching off wind turbines. See how much has been wasted today, and in 2025.

Did you know we pay for Wind Turbines to be switched off, and as we can't store excess energy, we then turn on Gas turbines to cope?

We need to update our power infrastructure asap so in the future we all benefit.

Government to propose electricity price changes in clean power push The war in the Middle East has brought renewed attention to Britain's vulnerability to energy price shocks.

So an interesting read about unlinking gas (a bit) from electricity prices. It's not that easy I suspect, as we pay Gas power stations to 'power-up' and provide electricity at peak periods and I assume they have gas spikes in cost.

Tom Baker was my favourite Dr Who, Space 1999 were also repeats but back then, if you missed them, you missed them. I remember watching a video set of Blakes 7 in the late 80's and loved them.

Good luck with the talk!

I'd buy into the Blakes 7 game, Space 1999 was a bit too early for me, and Dr Who, never really enjoyed it, but Blakes 7 engaged me as a youth.

I've come to realise after attending a lot of conventions over the years that I really do prefer a longer game, and so this is perfect.

I ran Against the Darkmaster last year, I enjoyed it and I think most of the players did.

This year, I'm running 'Hunter: The Reckoning' (latest iteration).

Going to add this to Outlook on Monday and use it for the 3 Amigos meeting we have on Tuesday.

Such a great film, and 3 iconic adversaries.

Sadly, I checked my bank, and it was staring at me demanding to be fed. I get paid at the end of the month and will return to the 'not broke' category.

Crowley is brilliant, not what I was expecting, and Nicola Walker is beyond great. She grabbed my soul in Unforgotten and now has taken it again!

This is fabulous news. It's a shame i'm not rich, ultra rich or stupidly fabulous rich, as I'd fund this myself if I could.

It was disgusting to watch it on Look North last night, two people in their 70's verbally and physically attacking a young woman in front of her kids, and telling their dog to 'kill'. So they will be transphobic, homophobic and of course, Reform voters.

Today I failed to spell London properly, yep, I used Lodnon - that shows how much I care about London.

It's our capital, but I worked there for 20 years (and still have to travel to some London offices). For me. I love living in Sheffield, so much better for the soul.

It's the same with our Government offices. London gets the new buildings, gets refitted buildings and some of our Sheffield buildings don't have working AirCon or broken security booths. Yet, the mindset believe everyone wants to come to Lodnon because it's 'better'. Please invest in us as well.

Nice, I'm at our parliament offices in a few weeks and as I walk from Kings X to said office, I walk past the British Museum. Might be time for another look.

Those were the days, no games for me, my career has been business apps. But having an issue, reading through the very dryly written reference manuals and figuring it all out yourself (alas I was the senior coder all my life), but it was sweet when you cracked it. Good work!

Doncaster councillor says children 'trained' to meet SEND criteria Doncaster councillor David Knight says benefits on offer have caused an

Utter bollocks from the Reform councillor in Doncaster. Both are my kids have SEN, and we as parents tried to support them to deal with life and how to put in place ways to cope when required. Angry I am.

I had that book, and after a few flicks through it just fell apart. The spine came away from the cover, so I did the usual trick of hole punching it when the pages fell out. Quality was not a part of the GW late 80's/early 90s books.
