      The reason why I said "YOU'RE MY WIFE NOW!" to Alex Kingston... 
       
      In 2023 I was invited to Beat Fest in Liverpool Central Library, and while roaming outside I ended up in 3 sets of wedding photos - one of which my photographer mate captured. 
      I've always posted this photo with that caption, so it made sense to say it when I met the Doctor's Wife last week

      Alex Kingston gets a cheeky wink!
       
      By closing then opening my iris quickly I can deliver a cheeky wink, which for utter clarity I will generally announce I am doing: "I WILL GIVE YOU A CHEEKY WINK!"
       
      I also said "YOU'RE MY WIFE NOW!" which she didn't buy...
       
      Though I have a camera in my eye, it's low res - these are stills from the video in my neck. I'm building a new front mesh screen for Two Zero carrying this cam bottom right and a fake night view cam top left.

      Any reason for the child safe mode on the YouTube videos.
      The Notification symbol is turned off. That's the little bell symbol with a left to right diagonal line through it.
      On a closer look, then YouTube says that 'This action is turned off for content that is Made for Kids'.
      Kevin has had to search for some of these videos.
      Many of these videos are intended for adult's.
      Next to impossible to get any new subscribers to your channel while you are in child safe mode.

      Genesis Dalek Grey - Discussion Continues

      By RepeatedMeme · Posted

      Update.   JK: "..18B27 from the BS5252 range.. It's a bit darker than a Dark Admiralty Grey, but with the same colour balance. "

      I initially marked and cut out the top and bottom skirt frame sections, using 18mm Ply. As I am using 6mm MDF for the skirt panels I reduced the top and bottom sections by this amount. I also applied chamfers to the edges of these sections to allow for the angles of the panels. I next marked and cut out the Base section along with the 70mm and 90mm Fender sections and fourteen 18mm brackets. I’m hoping I can use 2 brackets on each of the three larger Fender sections and 1 on the other smaller sections. After checking measurements for accuracy, I noticed that the top frame section of the skirt was about 15mm shorter than it should be. As this may have an effect on the finished appearance of the Dalek I will be making that piece again. I have taken delivery of 40 Christmas gift baubles which equates to 80 hemispheres, so plenty of spares should there be any mishaps, plus 2 stainless steel gazing globes for use with the Gun and Arm units. I have been thinking about the order of the building operations such as which section to do first and so on. With some parts I’m not sure it really matters. Parts that can be 3D Printed for instance can pretty much be done at any time during the project. However, after looking at other builds that have powerchairs included in the build, I think I would prefer to get that part sorted out first and not have to make difficult alterations later. I will therefore be starting from the ground up and build the rest around the powerchair.
