May the transmascs join in?

Lex, 30*cough*, north of England, he/him. Tendency to forget Bluesky exists. Owner of two cats, one dog and too many hobbies to keep up with. Most often found pottering around doing DIY, photography, an odd bit of gaming, or nerding about data and the occasional fandom.

oh my god these are phenomenal

Oh shoot did the new drop go on sale? I remember seeing something a bit ago and thinking I wanted to get in on that… I’m fairly sure it was a Wednesday cos that’s when my partner usually goes to *her* pottery class. Hope they flew off the shelves even if I missed out

I love the fact that his name’s Simon. And I love his banana bed.

A cautionary tale for the ages.

There is! Or can be, fairly easily (there's an outside tap I could run a spur off, probably, though I will look up how to do that properly). I think I read something about using a massive Really Useful Box to make some kind of mcguyvered trap system so clay stays out of the pipes too.

Oh wow. Holy heck. Thanks for telling me, I’ve no idea how I would have googled that

Oh I agree 100%. They claim to be voting with their feet but I’m betting we could pool resources to do a People of Walmart for Adult Human Females of Tesco. Although I’ve (mercifully) actually never knowingly seen one in the wild. Almost like they’re a tiny shouty online tribe.

They’re already boycotting Tesco aren’t they? And Wickes. And B&Q now (they had a corporate pride logo). Maybe soon they won’t be able to shop anywhere. They’ll start foraging in the woods while their houses fall apart because they can’t access DIY supplies.

so yeah potters I’m taking any advice you can give on giving a keen amateur a good little starter pottery habitat in a domestic English garage

Big yikes!

Wait what? Genuinely asking (I’m British and know relatively little about the US defence budget) — how can it be first and third most expensive but skip second?

I have no words, only 🤮🤮🤮
