The Guild of Evil™ will soon be relocating to a new and more fabulous lair. There are, therefore, umpteen boxes to pack and then unpack, incriminating documents to shred and phone lines to connect. For the next couple of weeks posting will be at best intermittent, most likely non-existent. So you may wish to subscribe to the feed, which will alert you to anything that materialises.
By all means rummage through the archives, the blogroll and the greatest hits. If you’re really stuck for something to do, you could always count the number of items in the index of ephemera, where you’ll find music and memories and strange obsessions, and things like this, and this, and this. And failing that, why not do something clever with a toilet roll tube?
A pyramid? Who's the sucker who got the attic?

Bon voyage! Moving can be hell, hope it goes smoothly for you.

Good luck with the move, David.

Julia,
It’s not my idea of a good time, no. There’s the atomic magnets to bubble-wrap and the cases of crusted port, and the enormous robot scorpion. The hostages alone will be a bugger to shift.
Still, the view from the new living room is rather stunning.

Have a safe move, David. Please post a picture of the old lair as well. You know, for 'comparison'.

Simen,
Sadly, I can only release this image, taken during the Guild’s last annual general meeting.

It was a spirited affair, as you can see.

That reminds me, I'm running low on tank ammo. Could you possibly see your way to sparing a palette or two, kind sir? Just to see me through November. I should have more than enough after the (ahem) "election". Thanks.

Who is doing the interrogation, I mean interview room decor? Udvar the Hungarian promises sublime colors for a cheery expierence. These details simply cannot be overlooked.

There's a nuclear reactor in the basement of that pyramid!

Cool, ain't it? Every "lair" should have one!

And for those days when you just need to get away from it all - a personal submarine;

Because nothing says Evil like having cooled champagne while following your victims all the way down.
Still, from the picture I wonder if I've seen it before in some puppet-show from the 60s....

In memory of our recently departed host, I'll provide this bit here on gender studies.
Why do we care about gender? Because in some places we can suddenly be subjected to male penii, and not actually appreciate it.

Tell them how much you support them.

A musical interlude. Arts, you know - by Artist.

David,
I appreciate that you have a life to lead but when are you coming back old chap?

While we're waiting for David to finish re-programming the locator implants in his hostages, may I recommend some opera?

Wow, you're moving too? It must be the crisp autumn air...
Good luck, remember to lift with your back and that hand trucks are your friends.
