On This Day: 27th May

A very dark place was the subject on offer on this day Before The Lockdown

in 2018

I only have vague memories of the 2005 production that I saw with three already well established and respected actors (Jonny Lee Miller, Aiden Gillen, and David Threlfall) apart from the brutality of the scenario and the sense of optimism that the three characters strove to maintain.

So when the students of Bath Spa University included Someone Who'll Watch Over Me as part of their SparkFest contribution to the Bath Festival I was keen to reacquaint myself with the piece and see what these these fresh young acting students would do with it.

This story of three westerners chained up in a dark middle-eastern cell was suitably enhanced by being performed in the compact cavern-like space of Burdall's Yard. These three young men didn't have the depth of experience that the 2005 cast had to call on but the strength of the writing certainly gave the cast, and audience, plenty to get their teeth into. An excellent showcase delivered very effectively.

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.
