Bonjour nos petits macarons. It us the Merchant Adventurers' Hall!

Today we are going to talk about Napoleon. Specifically this statue of Napoleon and his adventures in York.

Rejoignez-nous!
We are looking at a close up of a painted advertising statue of Napoleon. He is wearing a smart green, white uniform with a red and gold collar. He wears a large bicorn hat trimmed in gold with a rosette in the colours of the tricolour. We are looking at a painted advertising statue of Napoleon.

I made a “how do you do, fellow kids?” joke to someone in their mid 20s who, it turns out, was too young to have heard of that meme.

So “how do you do, fellow kids?” is now an example of “how do you do, fellow kids?”

I used to work at a small shop that made little plastic vampires.

There were only 2 of us working there, so I had to make every second count.

"We made some changes to McVitie's Penguin and Club earlier this year, where we are using a chocolate flavour coating with cocoa mass, rather than a chocolate coating. Sensory testing with consumers shows the new coatings deliver the same great taste as the originals," the McVitie's owner, Pladis, said in a statement. Club's classic advertising slogan citing its chocolate content is no longer in use, replaced by: "If you like a lot of biscuit in your break, join our Club."

One of the best photos I’ve ever taken and it was with an iPhone, five years ago. In Louisville. I never figured out the story behind this. And sadly the building was torn down.

My American partner works in a specialist role for a multinational, one of three globally.

Her visa is in renewal. Her father died this week. She can't go back until the Home Office "computer says yes". Her route to ILR has now been restarted to begin at zero of ten years, after years here already.

A selection of images from games etc. Hannah Nicklin has worked on, a screencap or key art image from: Saltsea Chronicles, Black Mirror: Thronglets, Mutazione; and the cover of Writing for Games: Theory & Practice. Also featured two reviews. One from Eurogamer: 5/5 Saltsea Chronicles "Onwards you go in pursuit of your missing crew, then, your story diverging further from mine with every island choice, with every flick of the head or settling of the lips. Memories/Artefacts? Skeptical/Curious? And astonishingly, through all these moving parts, all this phase space, my story still made rich sense, and actually built to a truly devastating climax. Scream/Weep? Fittingly, for me, Saltsea Chronicles turned out to be a story about choices as well as a story made of choices. It made me think about the big decisions I make in life, but also the decisions that shape a life that I don't even notice having made. Ripples turning to waves and all that. You must play this. It's luminous." The second of Mutazione from Gamespew, 9/10 "Mutazione is a game that builds up relationships within a community you instantly feel a part of. The main story is secondary to the real drama and the heart of the town, but it’s necessary. It’s extremely well-written, and the hand-drawn environments are beautifully designed. Die Gute Fabrik has crafted a sweet, powerful fairy tale that delves into the human psyche and allows you to reside there for five hours or so." A virtual biz card on a dark purple background, featuring an image of a white woman in glasses, with blonde hair, speaking at a podium.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up. Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?
