On This Day: 30th April

A day of contrasts in the years Before The Lockdown...

in 2015

I have never been 'to the opera', am not a fan of the big showy traditional musical and 'light opera' or operetta just sounded far too twee. But I'd heard good things about these guys, and I'm (reasonably) I'm open to being surprised by something new so on this day in 2015 I was at the Theatre Royal Bath to see Sasha Regan's All Male The Pirates of Penzance.
I loved it! Athletic young men dressed in period frocks is one thing but when played with just the right amount of shared knowingness with the audience it becomes less cringe-inducing and more a joyous celebration.
Alongside their cheeky smiles and metaphorical winks to the audience the effortless execution of some quite intricate choreography and being able to reach those falsetto notes so well made for a wonderfully entertaining show.


in 2019

In complete contrast Falling at the Ustinov Studio in Bath explored the impact of major trauma, such as falling into a sinkhole, has on a person and those around them.
Here a teenage girl falls into such a hole and although she physically survives the actual incident, she is thrown into an emotional hole as her mental health, and consequently that of her mother, suffers as they struggle to deal with that moment of terror.
A fascinating premise, and cleverly presented, often as a series of monologues, but one I felt didn't quite resonant as powerfully as perhaps it could have done.

Car Mechanic Simulator 2021: Plymouth Fury 'Christine'

Barn Find For the second of my 'off camera' rebuilds, I taking on a car that is not only iconic but also infamous ... The 1958 Plymouth Fury known as 'Christine'!   Another barn find, the Fury is a mod created by Fulysic and includes many features you'll recognise from the film. Anyway, this is what she looked like when I got her back to the Numpty The Car Fixer garage:   As is often the way with Barn finds, the frame and bodywork are in pretty good shape, it's just all the mechanicals that need a lot of work! Even so, it was nota  cheap acquisition but I'm hoping that some love and care will be rewarded with a healthy profit.    My intention with this project is to restore 'Christine' to her former glory, but with just a little extra power under the bonnet. The engine was in a sorry state so it was a case of taking it all apart and rebuilding it from scratch. The restoration keeps the original V8 OHV 6P but with a modest performance increase to t...

Transport Fever 2 Modular Station Tutorial

I've had some fun playing around with the new modular station feature that was added to Transport Fever 2 and, despite it's limitations, found that it is possible to create quite a few fun (or ridiculous!) configurations! As I haven't seen anyone else create a video tutorial for the modular stations, nor a presentation of  the designs you can create I thought I would have a go ... in my own inimitable long-winded style! So, here they are. Part 1 is a basic tutorial covering how the feature works and what limitations there are and in Part 2 I show off some examples of designs ... well, as many as my limited imagination would stretch to! I'm using just base game / vanilla options but if anyone would like me to look at any of the modded station options I'd be happy to have a go.
