Black Milk
Here’s a plot for a cop show, or maybe even Deputised Experts. Terrorists could poison up to 500,000 people, killing half, by putting botulinum in a milk tanker.

Britcon
Wargaming is related to modelling through a shared ancestry in toy soldiers. The British Historical Gaming Society is holding Britcon at UMIST in August and I think I’m going to pop along to check it out and possibly buy a few figures.

Knight circumcises Queen's Pawn
I still haven’t learnt how to play chess. I doubt having a phallic chess set would help, but at least it would be a conversation piece.

Frame art
One day I’ll decorate one of my bikes. I quite fancy a Union Jack, but I could try something as intricate as this artist’s.

watercolour
Snapped on the bill board outside whitworth art gallery. I’ll run out of things to photograph around here eventually and they won’t let me inside to shoot the exhibits.

wherefore art thou quark
I have quark express 5 on my machine at work but for various reasons i’m hardly ever allowed to use it. Sometimes i’ll have to use publisher, usually because another department also has it. Publisher is the boy band of desk top publishing compared to quark’s singer/songwriter/musician. It looks prettier but under the surface can’t do half the things competently let alone well.
Most often, however, i have to use word to do layouts. When that happens i begin sounding like an x rated muttley, muttering obscenities and cursing everything that has ever originated in redmond.
I demand quark and the right to use it for everything!
Fix?
Blogger may have found a fix for the layout problems. I’ve tried it, but it doesn’t seem to be working. I’ll dedicate a little time to it this evening.

Fish in the water
A little light reading- recently declassified and scanned WW2 submarine sonar manuals.
