The stubble on the forehead is a little worrying...

128742It is Burns Night tonight (25th.January) celebrating the life of Robert (Rabbie) Burns, the Scottish poet. I lifted the accompanying picture from today's online Times newspaper (behind a...

Here is a photo taken this morning of the open fire in our kitchen.
To my eye, the burning log looks a bit like two lines of text in some hellish language.
I'll be spending the rest of the day...

Stick with the Scribbles, Larry, that's what you're good at! ;)

I found this month's challenge to be rather - er- challenging, which is, of course the whole idea, and these military chevrons were the best I could come up with after a week of pondering. @ Larry, I...

Run Away! Run Away! It's a giant penis!!

A blast from the past...nice to see John's Liverpool FC avatar again...happy memories.

My eyes aren't what they were, but the colours have the feel of a late 1950s colour movie shot in VistaVision - lovely colours.

A very Happy New Year to you and your family, Gary and all at TG.....and here's to 2121 (just before half past nine tonight).

A heartfelt 'Thanks' to both of you, Acorn and Egg...
...And no thanks from MagiXara, who used to have a more personal approach, back in the day before the unholy alliance.

Go to the Window Menu and scroll down to 'Toolbar' and make sure its box is ticked.

I have come around to the opinion that anyone who decides to update is a completist, one who is compelled to update, no matter what. There is a degree of satisfaction to be obtained in doing this, I...

You should create a font out of that, Steve!

As a long-time user and a formerly frequent contributor to TG, I notice that a lot of the joy has been sucked out of TG and that is reflected in how I now use Xara Designer. I haven't updated for...

It is my sincere wish that all of the Magix went out of Xara.

It's a bit like Golden Handcuffs, but then again, on further reflection, perhaps not.

That's a cool look, Egg - I think 'Badass' is the term I'm looking for!

Perhaps we are all just getting plain old!

Wasps are, in my opinion the Bastard Kings of the animal world....Bees I can tolerate, but wasps and hornets deserve the rolled-up newspaper treatment...'shoot and ask questions later', is my motto....
