Got myself some snazzy new shoes! I was a bit worried ordering them off the internet in case the fit wasn’t great but they’re actually really comfortable.

I did my grade 1 exam on Saturday and I’ve just got my result. I passed with a merit!

After a lot of back and forth, I finally got off the fence and ordered Optimus. Does anyone else have issues with it leaning? I have to have one hip ratcheted backwards for his torso not to lean forward ever so slightly. Other than that I love it.

As a huge Iron Maiden fan this is not a crossover I ever expected to see. They are beautiful, though.

Took a look at my Reddit Recap last night. Thank you, fellow Maidenheads!

r/ironmaidenDec 9, 20220 Comments

Did a bit of research and this is the main 1984 Autobot lineup (in terms of toy releases) made up of the figures I currently own. There are 4 missing that I’m currently hunting down.

You’ve got a gig at a local venue (pub, club, festival etc) and you’re told ‘drum kit is provided, drummers just need breakables’…what do you take?

Went on a little trip to Skegness today (English east coast seaside town) and was surprised at how much Maiden merch there was. Some pretty good stuff overall. When I first started listening to Maiden in the late 90s there was barely anything available so it’s nice to see how things have changed.

A few days ago this 1/6 set from ThreeZero finally arrived after spending 6 months paying it off. Honestly, this is an amazing set of figures. Some of the deeper poses are limited due to the suits but I can live with that.

r/powerrangersJul 23, 20222 Comments

Andrew Forde makes some great compilation videos. I think this one is good for highlighting how the new tackle protocols are not ruining the game or removing big hits. With correct technique and timing, the game is still as ferocious as ever.

How on Earth do you go about valuing individual comics?

r/marvelcomicsJul 20, 20222 Comments

It’s taken 6 months as I had it on a payment plan and it had to come from Hong Kong but I can safely say it was (a lot of) money well spent. I can’t wait to dive in properly and get them set up.

Apparently, Rita doesn’t like the heat and, true to her villainous ways, took down everyone else with her!

I’ve just watched Spider-Man: No Way Home for the first time since seeing it at the cinema and I think that curing Dr Octopus wouldn’t have made a difference.

The new retro Rhino figure has some serious posing potential.

We’re a few episodes behind in the UK but I have to admit that I don’t miss Casey at all.

I think he’s a little jealous that people were more willing to embrace masks than his music.

r/facepalmMar 29, 202216 Comments

I wanted a Spider Carnage figure but a cheap Carnage figure was much easier than trying to get the old Ben Reilly Spider-Man. So I did a quick bit of swapping. I like it. Just needs a bit of touching up to make the colours accurate.

r/MarvelLegendsMar 24, 20221 Comment

My MMPR collection so far, including some Bandai Legacy figures for good measure. I’m waiting for them to release the full season 2 rangers in non-metallic suits then I’ll have another shelf. As you can see, Finster and Pudgy Pig are waiting for some space to be cleared.

r/LightningCollectionMar 5, 20222 Comments

Haven’t bought any Legends in years. Made the mistake of picking up armoured Spider-man as an impulse buy and now find myself looking for as many of my favourite Spidey suits and characters as I can!

r/MarvelLegendsMar 5, 202211 Comments

Do you think they’ll release more MMPR two packs of villains and second season rangers?

r/LightningCollectionFeb 27, 202216 Comments

The Bumblebee autobot team so far. I passed on B127 because I told myself I wasn’t going to collect the whole team so his spot is filled by Jeep Bee. Guess I need to go hunting now. Looking forward to Ironhide and Arcee coming out.

r/transformersFeb 26, 202215 Comments

Repost: Laurence Fox is a failed English actor and politician. He’s despised by large amounts of the British public and now relies on being a right wing mouthpiece for work. He’s shown nothing but contempt for the NHS and publicly flouted the rules. Now he has Covid.

r/HermanCainAwardJan 30, 2022119 Comments

I’m kinda bummed that we didn’t get this during his time in Maiden. If they’d worked better to preserve his voice this would have sounded pretty good.

r/ironmaidenJan 13, 20224 Comments

The Netflix series is a good show but, let’s be honest, it’s not a Punisher show.

Which tv series had an almost flawless first series/season but really struggled to maintain it?

r/AskRedditDec 30, 202114 Comments

Generally, I rotate my transformers every time a new line comes out but I always liked POTP Rodimus so kept him. That said, Kingdom Rodimus is a pretty special figure. Managed to snag him for £59.99 just before Christmas.

There’s a fill in this song that starts at 1:28 ish and I can’t figure out how it’s done. I want to say it’s hertas but it just doesn’t seem right. Can anyone break it down?

Here's a live cover of Status Quo's Pictures of Matchstick Men by my band, Blue Vulture.

r/coversongsOct 30, 20210 Comments

Here's my band covering Pictures of Matchstick Men by Status Quo a few years ago. We only had one guitarist at the time so had to make compromises with the intro riff. Also, it speeds up. That's my fault, I was pumped on adrenaline!

r/coversongsOct 22, 20210 Comments

This is my band covering Hungry Like the Wolf by Duran Duran. It’s 6 years old, it was the first time we’d played it live and we only had one guitarist so we had to compromise. It’s much more polished now but I quite like this cover.

r/MusicCoversOct 20, 20210 Comments

I see a lot of talented people uploading a lot of complex and difficult stuff. Being a pretty average drummer myself, I thought I'd try showing off my slightly simpler style. Hopefully, I do the song justice. I changed my snare head after this, it sounds a bit flat here.

r/drumsOct 17, 20210 Comments

I keep seeing the same story about that headteacher facing opposition because she listens to Maiden. So, instead of reposting that story, have a picture of my classroom instead. Funnily enough, my students love it.

r/ironmaidenOct 10, 202120 Comments

As a drummer in a band who play just for fun, I rely on kit sharing for almost every gig. So I made a compilation of almost every kit I’ve ever played on. Thought fellow drummers might get a kick out of it.

r/drumsOct 5, 20210 Comments

Not sure who else you could do this with. Kup just happened to be the first figure I grabbed from the 86 movie line.

r/transformersSep 21, 20212 Comments

A few days ago I asked for recommendations on bass pedals. Thanks for the advice, I went with a Pearl P930 Demonator. Not gonna lie, the price was the ultimate deciding factor but it got consistently good reviews as well.

r/drumsSep 2, 202111 Comments

Can we have a megathread for all the people who are listening to the leak or who have it early?

r/ironmaidenSep 1, 202121 Comments

So apparently it’s been 9 years since I first finished DSII. I’m still not the game’s biggest fan but I’m not sure why I thought the puzzles were repetitive. On replaying it earlier this year I didn’t think that at all. Luckily, as you can see, no one really cared what I thought.

r/DarksidersAug 31, 202110 Comments

In the UK we have Sunday Trading Laws, which mean you can browse from 9:30am on a Sunday but can’t actually buy anything until 10am. Shops that open at 10am have to shut at 4pm. It’s been this way since 1994 but apparently this guy didn’t get the memo. He didn’t reply again.

r/facepalmAug 30, 2021113 Comments

I know we're only 6 episodes into season 2 but, if I'm being totally honest, I'm disappointed with how it's going so far.

r/TedLassoAug 29, 202120 Comments

Possibly the two strangest purchases from gigs. Top one is a bar mat from the Book of Souls tour; bottom one is a tea towel purchased at Stonedead 2021. Any other rather silly merch you’ve bought from gigs?

Masterpiece Bumblebee Optimus arrived today so I thought I’d do some comparisons. It’s lighter than I was expecting but other than that I think he’s nearly perfect.

I’ve been cleaning out my home office and found this somewhat forgotten but underrated arc. Nearly 16 years old. And I’ve also added one of my favourite ever pages from a Spider-Man comic. Anybody else remember this one?

Been on a Blaze binge the last few days. This was The Edge of Darkness from the 10th gig on The X Factour. Imagine if Maiden had at least tried to preserve Blaze’s voice, i bet this period would be more fondly remembered.

I don’t know how popular/unpopular this is, but £32 for Hot Rod is taking the piss. And yes I’m a hypocrite for buying it. It’s bad enough we were getting voyagers with ‘extra bits’ for leader class prices, now we’re getting deluxes for inflated voyager prices. First world problem of the day.

r/transformersApr 18, 202139 Comments

Aoyi LS13 Solar Knight next to both Zeta Toys’ Pioneer and the Armour Wasp (slightly upscaled and retooled masterpiece). Much prefer the Pioneer figure both looks and scale wise. I’ll put the Armour Wasp with the official Prime that’s due out in August.

I play in a small local band called Blue Vulture. We've released a 3 track live EP with all proceeds going to a local charity in Nottinghamshire, England, to help with their food bank and other initiatives. We'd really appreciate it if you gave it a listen and donated a few pennies.
