One of my favourite quotes:
“Social media gives legions of idiots the right to speak when they once only spoke at a bar after a glass of wine, without harming the community... but now they have the same right to speak as a Nobel Prize winner. It's the invasion of the idiots.” ― Umberto Eco: novelist, critic

And social media gives them a platform to display it..........as well as the self absorbed narcissism of the current culture....

I see TSS hasn't listed the fortifications yet in 15mm or 28mm; so how did you buy them?

Re: What's on your workbench?
Indeed. It used to be that village idiots were ostracised loners and only had the opportunity of sharing their 'ideas' with the pigeons on the village square. They'd never travel to the next village and most importantly, would never breed...Count Belisarius wrote: ↑Thu Sep 19, 2024 10:51 pm One of my favourite quotes:

Now they can communicate, share their idiocy and most tragically, multiply.

Deleted. What seems funny on Codeine+ and an empty stomach usually isn't. I should have remembered that.

If "The System" is the answer, who asked such a bloody stupid question?

Re: What's on your workbench?
This is odd. When I follow your links, the fortifications are there. If I leave that page and go to say the 15mm resin building menu, I have 5 pages and they don't include the fortifications!RMD wrote: ↑Thu Sep 19, 2024 10:55 pm Here you go: https://totalsystemscenic.com/product-c ... aubaneque/
It's the same with the 28mm page.
I wonder if I inadvertently declined cookies or something?

Re: What's on your workbench?
We have a winner - but don't worry, I had to look it up myself and I, too, have no idea what Phyllosan is/was or does/did. It's from the early 1950s, so it even predates me (1959); in fact, I've struggled to find any advertising for it that is in colour!!!
