I was recently reminded that I was in Crash magazine #44, back in September 1987. Page 71, for completing “The Big Sleaze” Spectrum game.
I wrote in and complained that June falls before July, but they replied saying it was a typo.
So, 3rd again!

The Rings of Power
By now, everyone and their dog is going fucking mad on t’internet about The Rings of Power. One of the early gripes, before it was even available to watch, was the casting of black actors in “white” roles.
Especially the casting of Sir Lenworth George Henry CBE as a hobbit.
Gardale Halt – N Gauge model railway – Part 1
So, I’ve decided on ANOTHER mini layout. This one is going to be a 3’x2′ single track roundy roundy with a goods siding and two storage loops behind the backscene – thus allowing me to have three trains to run.
Again?
Telford Steam Railway, August 29th 2022
A rare August Bank Holiday Monday off work, no rain, and a nice afternoon at a heritage railway that, despite being about 40 minutes away from my house, I’d never heard of until this year.
Choo Choo
What price a stripe?
I’m going to try a little experiment. I’m going to spec up two similar vans using the Ford Transit Configurator. These will be based on the Custom SWB chassis, have the same engine and similar whatnots, with one huge difference.
When the Dead reached Charnock Richard
As of JUn 3rd 2022, the number of people who have died with Covid-19 mentioned on their Death Certificate is 196,643 (Source: BBC).
One hundred and ninety six thousand, six hundred and forty three.
How you get your Electicity
Ok, so you’ve signed up to a new energy supplier (let us call it Pyramidical Energy) and you have been promised that all the electricity you receive will be from Green sources.
You have been sold a lie. No electricity retailer in the UK can deliver on that promise, and I’m going to explain exactly why.
Antenna Death
No it isn’t a Swedish Death Metal band, it is what happened to my stupid 2m/70cm antenna.
Literally the most Iconic British car
If you ask people to named the most “iconic” British car, they’ll most likely say something like an E-Type Jag, and Aston DB5, a Mini, maybe a Lotus Esprit, or a Land Rover, or even possibly a Rolls Royce.
And they will be wrong. There is only one car that fits the definition. Millions of drivers see one every day, and don’t realise it. There aren’t that many on the roads these days, but there are thousands near the roads.
BM10 Wireless dialer/miniphone
So, what tat have I bought while drunk now?
