Aw man, Wycliffe was a cracking show - RIP
Very sad to hear of the passing of actor, playwright and theatre director Jack Shepherd at the age of 85.
Known on TV for Bill Brand and Wycliffe.

The new Seaspray figure from the Retro line arrived - first impressions are that I’m a big fan, but gobsmacked at how much taller he is, even if that’s the way mini-vehicles have gone in recent years. Time to give the transformation a go!

Beat Quake II! Had a cracking time with it, even if the final level was a bit forgettable. Lots of fun finding the secrets in this one, although I think the original is a bit more memorable level-wise.

Last night I dreamt I’d ordered the LG-EX Big Powered boxset, and woke up in a cold sweat this morning thinking I’d actually ordered the thing irl. Curse you, Transformers in my subconscious!
