I design and produce exhibits and displays for the heritage sector, realise artist's concepts in 3D using tech/superglue and fix things too precious to throw away
When "Come fight a war we politicians could have prevented had we the balls & courage to regulate the tech bros, tax billionaires, asset rich & tax dodging mega-corps to boost wages, education & foreign aid. Thanks - we'll be in the bunker if you need us." is too many words to fit on a poster.

So last week some kiddies stole the bike I'd owned 8 years from my locked garage, pushed it ½ a mile using another bike, then torched it.
I've thought of a dozen ways to secure my next bike should someone try to TWOC it, all of which would get me arrested for causing actual bodily harm.

Feeling so British right now I could almost wave a pint, vote for Nigel Farage, hand over public assets to transnation corporations to loot and make no comment as I watch an immigration centre burn and British made armaments obliterate children while eating chips and curry sauce.

While I struggle to think of another Black Sabbath track other than the 'Finished with my woman...' one l'm in flux about quite why many rock stars are put on a pedestal for just being good at their job.

Much fun trundling on the Distinguished Gentleman's Ride London last week. The old timer didn't enjoy static traffic and had to have a few sleeps on the way round but he is 90 next year. £577 raised - thanks everybody.

I've still not got around to setting up a film production company purely so I can have an extended animated sequence of something underwhelming and of opaque meaning just to annoy people for 45 secs or more at the beginning of a Netflix movie which probably isn't worth watching… but I'll get to it.

Today I'm issuing an executive order to initiate a system whereby anyone sending SMSs or emails or telephone calls pays a £0.02 charge to the recipient's country's internal revenue service. Take that spammy fecking spammers. 🖕🏻

I tried to watch G20 but the idea of a US president being a hero is a movie trope that will never play again. Murca - you've been eating your own sh*t for so long that you're blind to it.

Interesting thought: in violating the US constitution on many fronts Trump has nullified the limited powers granted him by the very constitution he no longer abides by. So kick him the fuck out.
