Great models on the contest table at KMK ScaleWorld, Belgium. Good for the mojo meter and I finally found myself a 1/48 Hasegawa P-40K. And for a decent price! #histscalemodels #scalemodels #kmkscaleworld

He only waxed lyrical about Napoleon twice which is remarkably restrained for a French military historian.

This is the most "Paris hotel run by an old Parisien couple" that an old Parisien couple ever Parised. 5 storeys of winding narrow wooden stairs to the room included. I love it.

Pleased to report that opening with: "Désolé, je suis Anglais et ma français est trés mal..." Then fully Leeroy Jenkinsing into crap schoolkid French still works in Paris. It's the effort that counts.

Your key takeaway from the brilliant Ukraine attack with small drones into Russia shouldn’t be “wow, small drones make it so easy to score huge hits,” it should be “wow, Ukrainians are insanely good at covertly planning and executing extraordinarily difficult missions of which drones are one part”.

One of the few genuinely amusing parts of the whole Unbound/Boundless saga is that they had an active policy of trying to secure books written by authors wiith strong social media presences. Which is a group you DEFINITELY don't want to screw over while then trying to sell a new grift.

At this point I'm pretty certain Global Airlines is a John Finnemore sketch that went too far.

Who could have possibly predicted this outcome? Nobody, really. The failure to start scheduled flights as an all A380 airline was always going to happen. But to pivot to be an all A380 charter outfit even though Hi Fly tried and failed at A380 wet leasing is so stupid nobody ever saw it coming.
