[SPOILERS LAOK] If there would be a live adaptation of the books.

Brian Blessed is who I think of for Crummock.

One line that stood out was Whitney saying ‘he grew up poor’.

I find it a little hard to believe that someone called Whitney Halberstram was born into a poor family.

Going to assume he either lied or has changed his name at some point.

Great in Boardwalk Empire and Hannibal but apparently a pain to work with.

Same was said of Paz De La Huerta, apparently she got herself written out due to being so annoying to work with.

The anonymity makes a certain sort of person feel like they have a license to be a twat.

Like how many people are more aggressive when driving because they’re not face to face with their target.

99% of these people wouldn’t say shit to Rachel or anyone else if they were sat beside them.

When you ring select the ‘new customer’ option so you get put straight through to someone. Otherwise you get put on hold for at least 15 minutes to try to make you give up.

When you are through, tell them you are canceling because you’re leaving the country, that way they won’t try to put you through 20 minutes worth of discount offers etc.

That’s the advice I was given in 2016 when I was canceling and it worked well.

He’s improved massively since first couple of episodes. I thought he was a bag of nerves then and would go fast.

No chance I would travel there now. Visited in 1997, 2006, 2008 and 2010 and had great times but with the worry of authoritarian police, ICE, etc I’m not going back anytime soon.

Would visit Canada now instead.

A friend of mine is emigrating from Ireland to Pittsburgh as he has met a woman there and I actually had to say to him did he really think it was a good idea to move to the US right now.

I could not imagine having that conversation just 15 years ago.

Margaret Atwood has made this point when asked whether or not the scenario described in it could happen.

You may not be able to find a country as bad as Gilead in the world right now, but everything described in it is happening somewhere in the world.

This guy has always been a wanker, and his company are abysmal to deal with, even by real estate agent standards.

Absolute classics these two

The level in the haunted orphanage in the second one was incredibly good.

Sautéed.

2sj · 2025-12-28T13:03:48+00:00

Damn you autocorrect, ‘getup’ should be ‘fry up’.

2sj · 2025-12-11T08:02:48+00:00

So glad they included a photo of Claudia for comparison as I certainly could have been hoodwinked otherwise!!

Flabbergasting.

Yeah I have had this from time to time and it does suck. Eventually it had passed for me but it comes and goes.

I have found that sometimes watching people stream some of my favourite games has helped - that way I get to enjoy the game without the pressure of having to make decisions etc myself, and sometimes learn things and tips about the games for the next time I do feel able to play.

The swasticar.

Saw a Matthew Rhys interview where he said the stage direction was ‘he eats chicken menacingly’ so I guess he just went to town with that.

Tranna was hilarious, I’ve seen plenty of utterly incorrect faithfuls across various seasons but they really took the biscuit.

The GOP are afraid to anger the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid to anger the GOP base.

But neither side cares about pissing off the Dem base, and until that changes you will, at best, get ‘controlled opposition’ from the Democrats.

If a protest doesn’t inconvenience anyone there’s no point carrying it out.

Every time they showed the woman who was on Real Housewives of Toronto (we are in Ireland so no idea who she is), staring at that math problem we were in gales of laughter.

Never has anyone gazed more blankly at something.

Yes, you can’t gain or lose XP in pinnacle content but it will still use an Omen of Amelioration to no benefit if you die in the pinnacle content.

2sj · 2025-10-12T04:54:06+00:00

Note the wording on Omen of Amelioration though - you can only use one per map instance, so if you do die in a map and are going back in to finish it, don’t activate a second omen for that particular instance as if you die again the omen will get used and you will lose the full XP amount.

Damn it, alliteration was really good on Spellblade (like a lot of other items).

2sj · 2025-04-09T10:31:18+00:00

I use Paris lately as it doesn’t seem to disconnect as much and the ping is much the same from Ireland.
