Dimmers has been busy.
Thanks, Dimmers!

Hmm?

Day one of my week off... trapped in the bedroom while decorators make my house smell of paint.

That one's been there since the start.

(you all remember the way Thomas' eyes would swirl around with glee when told he was a raight useful ahngin, yer?)

Did anyone see Lorenzo have what's commonly kown as "A big one" yesterday?

Nasty. Only a lowside, though, and I'm guessing he was fine.

You are most welcome.

Even though I knew it was coming I still shouted 'oh SHIIIIIT' when I saw it.

At about 0:28 he has a bit of a tangle with someone else, and I read somewhere him saying something like "The corner was coming up but my front brake was broken from the impact, so my choices were go straight on or try and make the turn, so I went for the turn, but the tyres didn't hold".

Ouch.

He's got the leathers with the airbags in them, doesn't he?

Blimey.

Was all of this really a year ago?

Could someone tell me where that year went?

I imagine you were one of the ones who felt that year passing more keenly than the rest of us! How's the employment status?

Yes, I must admit this last year has had it's moments. Highs: loafing around in flip flops and shorts watching Tommy Walsh all day. Lows: Realising that loafing around in flip flops and shorts watching Tommy Walsh all day doesn't pay the mortgage!

I have been freelancing since the end of April which is great because it's a job but it has its down sides i.e. being away from home, (until recently) varying hours and of course the biggest pain in the arse late payment of invoices!

I've got a fair bit on and the job that I'm doing at a client's office is largely supervisory which means that I have lots of spare time. I am using this spare time to do work for another client. Effectively charging two clients for the same hour, so it's not all bad.

'Tis rumoured the construction industry is slowly coming back up and this is linked to a very tentative offer from my old company (Big QS firm) for my old job back. Interesting. Exciting. Long way off.

Sneaky edit - typos, still not enogh punctuation though!

"Will survey quantities for food"

Sounds like you've made a good go of the freelance thing then, well done.

Cheers chap. It's far from ideal but it's all work and helps fund my roast beef Monster Munch addiction.

Although I have a tentative permanent position lined up I am still lining up other things for the new year when this project should come to an end.

What? Shit!

Unless of course you're Tommy Walsh? Well, are you Tommy Walsh? No? Better put that Jammy Dodger down and get to work then!

I now have brilliant images of The Egg crawling through an increasingly tighter tunnel, until finally he finds himself in Tommy Walsh's head, learning eventually to throw Tommy from his own mind and control his every movement.

That'd be an excellent film.

They could get John Malkovich to play The Egg.

And they could call it "Being inside the head of Tommy Walsh. Starring John Malkovich"

John Malkovich is emaciated and hairless. The Egg... isn't.

Well that's that ruined then.

It's okay, we can get Joan Cusack.

Tommy Walsh? You traitor. What'shisfuck from the New Yankee Workshop is crying all over his painstakingly crafted rustic chest of drawers.

Is that a full size pool table? You could have waited until I'd moved house

Yay, Ebay stalking time!
£73 for a steering wheel?!?!?
Etc.

£9 for a wank sock?

Speaking of Lorenzo, every presenter's pronunciation of his name really grates on me, possibly irrationally: 'whore-gay'. Surely it should be a guttural 'H' sound rather than a hard G, given he's a Spaniard.

The egg, yesterday.

Already? You've only had it about six months haven't you?

Yeah, I totally miscalculated how big it would be so there's no room to play pool around the table, and it's too big now that we have two leather chairs that we got for free.

So, it's got to go.

The original idea was to keep it in a mate's garage until we moved house into somewhere bigger, but that's taking longer than expected.

Double yolker?

Scotch egg innit.

That'll do. Christ, that was painstaking. Not perfect, but fuck it.

Care to explain how you did that? It's very good!

Thanks

Illustrator, Photoshop, experience, time, and being so full of cold you can plow hours of time into pointless things.

This disturbs me. Enough of that young man!

Unless you created that masterpiece yourself at the breakfast table this morning, I'd hate to think of the circumstances in which you found it!

Nice work, young man. I take it you used the ever present box of Kleenex to wipe all the fingerprints off the screen

Base coat is now in place. My house stinks of paint. My decorator has two apprentices with him, one is ginger. He has that thousand-yard stare of someone expecting torment after a life of it.

(and no, they didn't empty the slop bucket and start throwing it around, before you ask)

Were Mr Wrong and Cthulhu too large?

They're in, they're just not on the dimlie page, I think.

Attempts.

Ah, excellent.

Just after I posted it it occurred to me it looks a little like a testicle.

The new ones are ace, Dimmers!

A woman on the One Show just said 'less questions, sorry fewer questions'. She has brown hair and is quite short. I thought myp was on holiday?
