    Their choice of name for Nickel is possibly my favourite 3rd party name ever due to the reference (whether it's intentional or not) to Monty Python and The Holy Grail....I want a repaint that includes a shrubbery accessory that looks nice, but isn't too expensive :D

    Well my week has gone from bad to fucking worse!

    image.jpg

    I’ve only gone and got myself admitted with suspected Meningitis! The wife found me slightly delirious on the bed when she got home from work on Monday - prolly a good job she did. Worse bit is they cant seem to confirm OR eliminate it yet. My liver is on the squiff too and not even for @incapable hulk reasons!

    Worse bit is I’m confined to my room and there are no robots!

    Yes, but to get that repaint, you have to cut down the mightiest tree in the forest with a herring ;)

    Ouch, that's a pretty niche combo of infections. Get well soon, man.

    My ESA appeal was successful! It was a bit of a surprise to receive the letter as I'd requested a hearing, but they decided it was unnecessary (which I'm not complaining about!) FUCK THE DWP!

    Get better soon, hopefully it turns out to be something not quite so serious.

    @Skjalddis yeah, not a fan of the DWP. I was laid off from work a few years ago, and struggled to get back into work for a little over a year. When I did get back into work, they worked out they'd somehow in their infinite wisdom managed to overpay us, even though my wife only worked part time, and we were a family of five at the time (just before the eldest went to university). I'll be paying that back for the next 8 years!

    Get better quick fella. Let me know on PM if a Robo-Airdrop is needed - if it turns out to be a bit longer than quick.

    Secured a Worthy Cap at IDToys - so that's good. And Mezco Netflix Passion of the Daredevil paid up and around next week. So not Robots, but still also good.

    Seems like Wave 3 really will drag itself to July afterall. Shame.

    Fuck the DWP..............A-Bleedin-men.

    Jeez. Best wishes to you on a swift recovery.

    Well, 7th desk move in ten years. It's almost like the management doesn't know where to put me. At least I'm moving into a smaller room that will be a lot less noisy. And i forced the issue to at least get the desk in the room i wanted.

    Had a check, and the classics rodimus chest sticker should fit on my rodimus, so I'll be ordering that at some point down the line. But rodimus is coming along very nicely.
