  • I read a report on the BBC website that left me aghast earlier. No, it wasn’t the report in toto, as I rendered much of what was worrying about it irrelevant by mindful egocentricity. For instance, on reading this - A YouGov poll for the charity suggests that while four...

  • I haven’t been doing a lot of modelling lately, because I have been diving headlong into reading. As I have remarked on many occasions, my secondary school did a bang-up job of putting me off “classics of literature”, but even the sort of indoctrination schools can manage may be overcome!...

  • It’s funny that I apparently consider time-wasting associated with an impulse. It would perhaps be more sensible to say that such dilatory behaviour is associated with a lack of drive. Nonetheless, it feels rather like that at the minute. I fancied I’d do some work on the trench about now,...

  • Isn’t that a great word? The very first time I heard that, God knows when, I thought it sounded imposing and impressive. It means someone who is self-taught, so it has connotations good and bad. Even before my (not-quite-) year-old new lease of life, I have always associated the good...

  • The only complaint I can fairly lay against the BBC’s modernised adaptation of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s stories is the fact that each series is but three episodes long. Granted, they are nice and long, but one has just three weeks of enjoyment followed by an age of waiting! OK,...

  • Yeesh, running out of paint, needing varnish, having to do ten vehicles: I have a lot of excuses for the tardy progress of this project, but it’s back on schedule now. Today will be dedicated to the application of transfers to these lads, and then securing the same with varnish....
