I take a break from the forum…..for one weekend…..

and I come back….only to be greeted by three pages of absolute horror and confusion 

((But is quite hilarious. I had to bite my tongue to keep from breaking out in a fit of horrified laughter in AP English)) 

 

All those terrible wax figures makes me want to annihilate the art form.

I don’t know whether these have been mentioned on the forum before (it probably has considering how up to date everything is here, and these came out about a year ago), but I just found out that Yoko and the rest of the people who control the rights to John’s work made a line of to scale John Lennon figures with endoskeletons. I’m not quite sure what to think, they’re just slightly scarily realistic in my opinion…

Hmm, I think those were mentioned. It’s miles better than all those delightfully* inaccurate wax figures we’ve been enjoying* in this thread lately, but still weird.

Also, what’s up with that boatneck sweater deal? I feel like it’s a rare man who can pull that style off well (e.g. David Bowie, probably), and I don’t think Creepy Doll Lennon quite has it (though I’m not sure creepy dolls have much of anything going for them). ahdn_george_01

Ah lads exam results out today (the ones I was giving you daily updates on circa Christmas time), five of the six exams have come out- A’s in them all, lads I think my atheism has turned around because there is a God up there!

 

Managed to get 88% in database thanks to some divine miracle (Amen), so all I need is a 50% in economics and I’ve got my 1st in semester one. The idea of me getting a scholarship for a masters is still obtainable- woohoo!!!!

 

Drinks on me, lads!

Yeah, 99.9% sure I posted that in News thread when it was announced, not that I can find the post.

Comes with two different magnetic bases – sandals and boots, 6 different hand sets, two different heads, and three different outfits:

John wore the boatneck sweater regularly in ’70/’71, which is why it’s one of the outfits.

Hm, I guess it just looked odd to me because of the Creepy Doll format… gave the garment a Barbiesque vibe, which is weird, and also did I mention it’s a Creepy Doll? a-hard-days-night-paul-7

What an amazing triumph (for Tories).

I'm like Necko only I'm a bassist ukulele guitar synthesizer kazoo penguin and also everyone. Or is everyone me? Now I'm a confused bassist ukulele guitar synthesizer kazoo penguin everyone who is definitely not @Joe.  This has been true for 2016 & 2017 Sig-Badge.png but I may have to get more specific in the future.

Welp, the apocalypse is starting. 

Britain has run away from the EU officially, the US senate has so little credibility and transparency that they have voted against having witnesses in a triala-hard-days-night-ringo-7 against Trump…

My heartfelt condolences, all Britons.
