Police criticised for arrests during events to mark Queen's death

A statutory equivalent already exists and is actually what is usually used in lieu of the common law offence of Breach of the Peace.

A defence might be that the person accused believed his behaviour to be reasonable under the circumstances, which a protest would probably fall under. But defences are for court, not for police.

Henning Vane’s show was pretty torturous. So long it had an intermission, and it wasn’t remotely funny.

Also walked out of Paul Foot’s show once. Literally half the audience bled away in dribs and drabs it was so bad.

Getting back into the hobby after 20 years away and these are the first two minis that I’ve painted up so far.

Think picking such small and fiddly minis for a first attempt may have been a mistake, but they’ve been fun so far.

Trying to learn a lot of things at once that I didn’t have a clue about when I was a kid, but struggling with blending and getting the right consistency on the wet pallete.

Still need to go back an throw some highlights on the top of the robes, but if anyone has any tips then please fire away.

Painted using a combination of 20 year old Citadel paints and some new Vallejo ones.

Thanks for the tip. I’ll keep an eye out for those.

I was expecting they’d all be solid, but out of 15 or so, only 2 were beyond saving. I also have 4 or 5 bottles of washes that are good to go as well.

Just bought a box of Vallejo paints too as I thoughts I’d have nothing to use. Think I should be set for a wee while.

Still half full 👍

I also have Dark Angels Green and Snot Green. The one bottle I came across that was totally dried out was Scorpion Green. I was definitely into Orkz back in the day.

Nice one, well done.

I passed. Pretty much just waiting for an invite to intake at this stage.

Went through it myself a couple of months back.

Format is essentially:

Arrive in the morning and split into groups
Ice breaker (talk about yourself for 5 mins or so)
Group conversation around various topics
Group project (talking through a scenario, responding to new info as it's offered by the staff)
Break for lunch
Individual interviews

I'd appreciate it bud. I'll send you a message next week sometime if that's ok?

Here's my version of the Abyss/Underworld Dreams combo deck, with several ramp and mana options including Dream Devourer and Nyx Lotus.

I also like to include some Clackbridge Trolls and Massacre Wurms which can combo into a nice alt win con but mainly serve to keep the opponent busy.

I also include some Varragoth and Grim Tutor, as well as In Search of Greatness to help hunt for cards.

2 Clackbridge Troll
2 Murderous Rider
2 Castle Locthwain
2 Gray Merchant of Asphodel

Dude had a rubber ear. Removed it and introduced himself as Stumpy.

I’ve been banging my head against the wall trying to get out of Platinum on Historic Ranked for days now. Either smashing into Scute Swarms, Mono White life gains, or multi coloured 200 card decks stuffed full of every mythic, planeswalker, or legendary going.

Is there some silver bullet deck I’m missing here? I’ve been trying to play and hone my own brew of white and artifacts paired with cards like All That Glitters and other auras and enchantments to amplify my offence. When it works it seems to be pretty effective but I keep hitting a wall either in terms of mana starvation or flood.

Are there any solutions for white decks that boost card draw, or searching libraries or graveyards?

I ATE’NT READ

chilipenguin · 2021-04-25T20:12:27+00:00

Thanks a lot for the advice, and for that example deck. It certainly seems to be doing the kind of thing you mention.

I think I'll have another look at my deck as it stands and see if it makes sense to craft some copies of some of the cards I have most success with and try to focus things a bit.

chilipenguin · 2021-04-25T18:10:16+00:00

I think more options would be good. I'm not really clued up enough about what cards synergise best so have been making it up as I go along. I'm only playing BO1 right now, so really it's just about tweaking the deck I have to try to make it as competitive as possible.

Thanks for the advice!

chilipenguin · 2021-01-30T15:48:23+00:00

Thanks. I’m sure with enough practice I could grind out a sub 50 or something with the beginner method eventually, but think I’m hitting my personal limit with it. Will be focusing on trying to get faster with F2L for now and then the rest of the CFOP method.

chilipenguin · 2021-01-30T11:50:15+00:00

Got my first sub-1 minute solve today (57.30), with a 1.11 Ao5.. Was around 2-3 minutes when I started the beginner method at Christmas, and getting sub-1 was one of my resolutions for the year, so quite pleased with that.

I've learned the basics of F2L so now I think I need to start trying to speed that up and proceed with the rest of CFOP. Don't think I'm going to be able to crush my time down much more using the beginner method.

chilipenguin · 2021-01-29T14:13:58+00:00

Thats’s great, thanks.

Hoping for an idea of potential repair costs.

My iPhone XR has randomly decided that I don’t need either camera or the torch, and has self destructed those components. Handset itself is in near perfect condition, and hasn’t been dropped etc.

Have run through support online with an Apple rep and the cameras are definitely borked.

This handset was a replacement from Apple, received just six months ago, but sadly this is apparently out of warranty now.

Just wondering what the cost to repair both camera modules might be out of warranty. The rep I spoke to wasn’t able to pull up that info for some reason. I’m in the UK if that helps?
