When looking for whacky inventions, one need look no further than W Heath Robinson (an inspiration for Wallace & Gromit, of course). These 'Labour Saving Devices' were printed in the December 1919 edition of The Strand.

Some new Christmas games as suggested by W Heath Robinson, scanned from a (rather tightly bound) 1935 Christmas edition of The Strand Magazine. They are 'Splashing The Scotch', 'Throwing The Wishbone and 'Hunting The Mince Pie'.

'The Chocolate Ghost' - dark chocolate, presumably. Other than the fact it was drawn by the ever-wonderful W Heath Robinson in 1923, I know nothing about this. Feel free to tell me or speculate as you wish.

A black and white photograph shows an elderly lady sitting at the hairdressers beneath and extraordinary, HeathRobinson-style curling contraption with an array of tubes sprouting from anodes attached to her head while a business-like hairdresser monitors the machinery to ensure it doesn't burst into flames...

For wacky inventions, of course you can't beat W Heath Robinson. In 1921 he showed the readers of The Strand Magazine how to build a home-made car. (But I had to remove one stage because BlueSky wouldn't let me upload more than four pictures. *sigh*)

I went to the fabulous @steadmanart.bsky.social INKling exhibition at the #heathrobinsonmuseum last week where you were invited to do a doodle on the back of a postcard. Here's my crocodoodle using Ralph's splattered 'dirty water' starting technique. #heathrobinson

Men in evening dress and women in the fashions of the 1920s dance with invisible dancers, chat with apparently empty chairs and a waiter proffers a drink to another 'empty' chair.

A little experiment to help keep the house cool... we can't fit external blinds / shutters / shades and don't have or want aircon... it works 😀

Outside it's currently 32C, inside it's a very pleasant 22.5C... more in Alt Text

Picture showing a window covered with insulation sheet (basically silver bubble wrap). I used a tool to put eyelets in the material and suction cups to stick it to the window... it works inside but works much better attached to the outside.... It's cheap and cheerful but it does what it was made for

Made a bird bath, it’s a bit heath-robinson but I like to make stuff out of whatever I’ve got lying around in the shed!

Honestly, until this book, I had no idea that in the UK a Rube Goldberg Machine is called a Heath Robinson Contraption. William Heath Robinson (1872-1944) was an English cartoonist, illustrator, and artist, who is best known for his cartoons of whimsically elaborate machines.. #heathrobinson

Not worth the extra aggro, tho'.
If it can be turned on remotely, it can be hacked.
We need to be simplifying things for the future, not piling on a whole new HeathRobinson/RubeGoldberg layer of complex infra in ppl's everyday lives.

#Starmer's great alleged respect for law makes the betrayal he presided over as #PM all the more egregious.

#SupremeCourt deeply flawed & #HeathRobinson like engineered ruling - with added #Cass like horse Blinkers to steer their efforts to their predetermined destinations.

It was obvious how haphazard this government was going to be, when the first thing he did, on winning the election, Johnson went on holiday! Showing where his priorities lie @LBC
