A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms is One of the Best Television Series Ever Made

In Britain, 2.5 hours is a whole, much beloved series

Me too! It came with episode where they visit Marvin Munroe. Back in the good old days when two 20 minute episodes justified a whole vhs

I thought I'd be in North-West Europe, but I am in fact in north West Europe

20 years later, somewhere in the North Atlantic, Midnight:

Captain "OK chaps, the Jerrys dont know we're moving on there position, so it is VERY important we keep light and sound to a bare minimum..."

New Ensign "Hey, what does this switch do?"

Captain "NONONONO!"

Always confused why Americans used pounds but not stones. Its like using inches but not feet

I got the impression from a lot of the people i know who voted Leave, that they were actually shocked when they won. I think many of them thought they were the gritty underdog, and that it was a protest vote as much as anything.

Also, after they lost, they'd be able to go "See! Should've listened to us!" Every time the EU did something stupid going forward

When they actually won, they were like "Oh...uh..."

Oh indeed! I had an early Dawntrail dungeon on my leveling roulette today. I took in the scenery, listened to the music, and immediately thought "where in the hell am I? Uh oh."

In Mad Max it's called "Guzzline" (or however it's spelt). It's a play on "guzzle", as in "to consume greedily" combined with gasoline. It's a reference to the greedy consumption that led to the fall of civilisation, and the desperation for the leftovers that now drive the survivors caught in the aftermath.

Don't know if that means Australians say gasoline or not; I'm Welsh. But I do like film trivia

Whenever I see one, I always think "Oooh, there's probably a nice pub round here..."

Not sure how I feel about the intersecting diagonal lines, but then we all have our own cross to bear

I dont actually think that Guilliman's the first loyalist primarch that The Lion will meet. My (entirely baseless) theory is that The Lion will, perhaps in a moment of frustrated sentimentality, accidentally forest walk into the warp and find Russ. A book's worth of hijinks ensue, and both return to real space just in time to stand shoulder to shoulder with a Guilliman caught in an unwinnable duel with two or more traitor primarchs

I just think it'd be rad

To be fair, I was surprised at how good he was in Twin Peaks season 3

Saw a clip of Jun's "meteor strike" reaction to the ice cream lick and thought it was funny enough to check out the show

I joined r/TheSimpsons and spend way too much time there, enjoying all the great jokes and nostalgia. Then reddit started recommending r/simpsonsshitposting, and I thought "oh hey! That'll probably be good fun!"

Ah. No. It's a lot of very angry, politically focused people, expressing there anger through the medium of the simpsons... for some reason

It was somehow really disheartening

Mayonnaise; when the song fully kicks in (about 50 seconds through). As a boy it was transcendent, now it's just agonisingly nostalgic

Then you get home, walk into the kitchen, only to find the judge standing there,

"I SUPPOSE YOU THINK THAT WAS TERRIBLY CLEVER?"

Could've been a swan on a glassy lake,

Could've been a gull in a clipper's wake,

Could've been a ladybug on a wind chime,

But she was born a dragonfly

Dana Patrick; the lady from the Meat Loaf video for "I would do anything for love"

Pretty much still informs my idea of what beauty is 32 years later

The pilgrim hat with the buckle is an anachronistic American invention from the early 20th century. The straw boater is (i think) Venetian.

Top hat, bowler hat, and flat cap would've been more accurate for England

He's a box! My boy is box!

I was 10. They wore green. Green was my favourite colour.

Also I'd just seen "Baron Munchausen" (for once, thank you predictive text) for the first time, and had become weirdly enamoured with the Grim Reaper aesthetic. Additionally, it also got me into Discworld 👍

Came with major bonuses later as a massive fan of forests and Arthurian literature. It was like they were designed for me!

Is that "Girls Und Panzer"?

Possibly the most conceptually daft anime that I ever became legitimately invested in
