    Knew we wouldn't miss anything at rehearsals, committee are just on a power trip. Looks like same old story where if you are young or let them know in advance you get push back but if you are older and just don't turn up its fine.

    Sounds cushy, we're on inset today. Just found out I've had tons of work planned for me so that's one job saved, currently sprawled out on empty staff room sofas in a Jeff goldblum fashion trying to look somewhat busy until chrome book training after lunch :cool: 

    In tf news I'm very eagerly awaiting siege rachets arrival

    THE GOOD LIFE!!!

    Ok, full disclosure. I've struggled to find enough good scenes of omega to recreate, at least to my satisfaction. So I just decided to base the entire week off two pages of the same comic.

    Just got Dreadwind from Home Bargains. He’s a wee bit floppy but I think siege has spoiled me with its super tight joints. Great to have the gloomy bastard. Very apt that it’s pouring today as well.

    I'm working my way through my Friday robot haul. Thoughts thus far: Omega Supreme is amazing, Bluestreak wears the mould far better than Prowl, and Zetar is just incredibly good fun. He looks like a wizard too. So much personality in the little guy.

    I'll be opening Smokescreen today. Considering that I wasn't overly keen on the Prowl mould I do seem to have bought a lot of versions of it!

    (Barricade should be on the way whenever ID get him in stock...)

    I find myself just sat here watching that gif over and over. It's very mesmerising. But did she get the bullseye?

    It's Monday. I'm at work. I really don't like people I work with. Let's blast some Hammerfall and try to power through this.

    I’ll keep an eye out for the good doctor’s arrival, he’s getting delivered to the office so it will be a case of me popping over on Thursday once I’m off work to hopefully see a red slip

    I've been meaning to get the ol' Laserdisc out recently and this is a thing, the versions released on the American box-set are the cleaned-up but not added to versions, so nice to watch and have digital surround on too, are they still the only formats of that versions?
    I know it was at the time...many moons ago.

    Oh, and I want to watch 'Congo' again, so bad its good.
    ..and maybe Joe's apartment too.....

    Bots-wise my week off just netted 2 alternators from my lovely fella/shop in Halstead, Jazz and....the Subaru.....I am so knowledgeable it actually hurts, my Home Bargains (Colchester), just had the SS threesome, meh, prize of that lot is Barricade's cool Robocop gun.

    Laters.

    A beautiful sentiment, but not as sexy as I'd imagined.

    Just had email confirmation that I'm now registered as a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, which is nice. Private practice here I come!

    Congratulations dude. Counselling was something I had considered training in a few years ago. I wish I had had the maturity to consider it before but right now it seems a bit too daunting to start when I need a job now. Perhaps open university would be the way to go.

    Thanks man. I qualified as a practitioner around six years ago, but have just been doing it on a voluntary basis, on and off, since then. So I can rrrrrreally appreciate what you're saying about it being daunting when you need gainful employment right now. I'd have been in private practice years ago if that hadn't been the case. Definitely worth seeing what options are available around you. Some of the courses do a good job of accomodating people with work commitments (evening classes and suchlike).

    Or she's running back after fetching a hammer to stove the wee prick's head in!

    Totally mesmerizing isn't it?
    I know the feeling bud. I like the people I work with but I'm running on fumes after El baby had an incredibly unsettled night. She is the thief of sleep. But too damn cute.

    Congratulations dude!

    Did your Omega's knees also miraculously unlock themselves in the end up?

    I love these guys. I’ve used them as Straxus’ personal guard and a version of the Mayhem Attack Squad.
