    Somebody give this man a photog-gig pronto!

    All the hips on CWs Deluxes have needed a dash of Boots Clear. I just happen to have some. Phew.

    Secrets they never told you when 19: chicks dig a dash of gray in the stubble. And I've ALWAYS been a Wizard. I have the sleeves to prove it.

    I have a lot of white in my beard, but I have a full head of hair. Too full, in fact; I'm about 2 months overdue for a haircut. When I shave the beard off, I look about 10 years younger. It take me down to 45.

    I'm 37.

    Ultimately I have my own clear cut methods of dealing with this and they're undoubtedly not above board, but you know when your kid comes home from school and everything's fine until she breaks down in tears over tea cos some douchenozzles were taking the piss out of her score on a maths test? That's like being sucked through a time vortex and slammed firmly back into 1986. Prime died, I couldn't hack division, John Carew got dragged through a hawthorn bush for using both against me.

    Anyway, after punching stuff I've now resolved to rack in a little sneaky extra work in the guise of fun. I'll use MADLAW. She's adopted him as her son cos Hexatron did a bunk to Scotland so we can teach him together. MADLAW is now unofficially a maths guru in waiting.

    And then I'll kill the kid's dads if it happens again.

    It'll take me a billion years to ever grow a beard. I have a full head of lucious thick hair on my head... but it's quite a high percentage of grey.

    I do worry how I'll cope with my daughters future problems. I'm guessing violence isn't a feasible default go to right?

    Not default, no. But that does take me back to being a kid and this teenager and his mates who used to act all sweetness and light around adults while giving us all shit, smacking us about and generally being utter bastards when backs were turned. I had wound up in tears about it.

    One day all of us were out and about as per usual, playing and pretending that this sort of thing was normal and acceptable. My parents pulled up in their car and my dad - having been in Nigeria for three months on the oilfields and being a real loose cannon at the time - walked into the road and clotheslined the fucker straight off his bike.

    That sorted things out.

    Heh, it is like that old Milky Way advert - the red car and the blue car had a race.

    Not a big fan of Dead Ends pipe weapon, but Wildrider coming with one now makes it awesome as it will mean you have two.
    So can plug them on the side to make cars all super mad and stuff.

    Bought. Superion needs all the jets.

    In other news I've got round to combining Superion tonight. I have seen it before but bigger than I was expecting, Drag Strip is a temporary arm until I can get an Air Raid, if anyone can find me one it would be much appreciated, anyway, he can't really do a wide legged stance as his hips just aren't strong enough on a smooth surface, PE hands/feet upgrade possibly with some rubber/anti-slip footpads, like Feral Rex should sort that out.

    Still at least Rex has someone beat the shit out of now :lol

    So AB's head for Not-Slingshot (oh the irony)? Peg-head not cartoon?

    Pretty sure it is a different head, though AB definitely seems to homage Slingshot.

    Messed up world my friend

    Just got a shipping notification for Star Saber from Kapow, awesome - hopefully he will Brainmaster his way to me by the weekend :D

    Pretty sure thats a new head. The forehead looks different and Slingshot has a mouth in place of Alpha's faceplate, the visor is a different shape too..

    Been a good night so far. Star Saber shipped, Wildrider and Sligshot were revealed, Natwest gave me £5 for free as a Cashback plus reward, and Dominos gave me two free large Pizzas courtesy of a Quidco offer.

    The mrs also asked if we could get another Xbox One controller.


    Why can't all nights be like this?

    I'm not even going to pretend to know who that is. *slippers on, pipe lit*

    I ordered my Star Saber at about 6 pm yesterday from TF-Express-Omegalock-Al, and it should be on my desk in the morning.

    Megatron is still great. He's glaring at me from my side table in my man-cave-living-room right now.
