Finished up this Christmas art project last night. Ink and pencil drawing of Victoria Hall, Maritzburg College, Pietermaritzburg, South Africa. @mcoba1897 @MaritzCollege

@typofoto Could be the same people who programme London's traffic lights.

@barry_wizard I could preach for half an hour on each window without notes. I winder if that was part of the reasoning? Give an uninspired preacher some visual prompts to go off piste and preach from the heart.

@ikeijeh @TheSimonEvansX @Danjsalt I rarely turn the sound up for the videos of these two but they always look particularly drawn, drained and sulky. Whatever they're trying to sell, it can't be healthy because it's doesn't seem to be doing them much good.

@hiltonholloway Koreans in New Malden. It's been like that for decades and it's not been a problem.

@hiltonholloway I can't remember if I ever showed you, a client from last year had one identical to this in green. It was sitting there perfectly somewhere in Englandshire on a gravel driveway with a white Georgian rectory and stables as backdrop.

@k9_reaper Influencer. My wife was caught up in a shootout at Gateway Mall in Umhlanganlast month, perhaps one of these would have been handy.

I saw this today on my local high street, I quite like it. I'm guessing their head office will take a year to decide how to deal with it so we can all enjoy it till then.

@L_33_H @archpng I surveyed a 1950s house which is part of a complex not far from there and also on a busy road but it was very well done in separating the buildings from the road. That corner site is a tough one to design on, I wouldn't want to live there.

@L_33_H @archpng It's horrible even when you're in a car.

@DarrenMcLean_uk I don't think I've seen something like that before.

@DarrenMcLean_uk We have something similar in our inter-war block where a 90 degree angle is used for balconies.

@L_33_H @Fremond_ Also, prototypes from Munro were online before Cybertruck, I doubt these have much to do with Musk influence.

@sarahknapton Don't show her that video of the man shouting for help whilst being chased around that same upper concourse by a thief trying to grab his watch.

@_HelenDale I moved to the UK in 96 and had a Sikh colleague. Another colleague told me that it was legal for him to wear his knife only if it were riveted to the sheath, and his was. Was that actually a thing in the past? Pre internet in those days so word of mouth was still king.

@NGAutoArt Even with my surveying work, after more than 20 years I still struggle with accurate time estimates, it's not easy. And it's mostly underestimation to remain competitive.

[Mark Shepherd 📐📷 @shepherdmg]

@NGAutoArt Interesting to hear your numbers, I estimate about 60 hours for any drawing that I need to put a lot of effort into, call it a whole working week with overtime. It's why I try and do 10 minute sketches as much as possible because the prospect of 60 hours can be off-putting.

[Mark Shepherd 📐📷 @shepherdmg]

@NGAutoArt Excellent.

@erinldaly I think with gators and crocs, if you see it then you're safe. Similar principle to gunshots, if you hear the shot then it wasn't for you.
