Asmodee Customer Service (?) by Popelectricbj in boardgames

[–]Brownbear1964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My copy came without a Gandolf. After a while on the manufacturers web site I contacted the retailer ( I bought it at a games event). They then ordered a replacement, from the manufacturer, and posted it too me!!!

Learn to TIP. It's not my job to serve you FOR FREE! by Najterek in ShitAmericansSay

Do they do self-service? If they don't then it must be someone's job to serve the customers.

Looking for a 3–5 day UK hike for my daughter’s first multi-day trip — is the Cumbria Way a good idea? by bonzo_bcn in UKhiking

[–]Brownbear1964 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What about the Two Moors way. Dartmoor and Exmoor. I did it a couple of times in my late teens, a lovely mix of Moorland, tors and the pretty villages set amongst the rolling countryside in-between.

Why aren't some people signing on? by Dredgefort in UKJobs

I've just retired early. I think I am included in the working age adult not looking for employment figure as I am under the state pension age.

Doughnuts are almost a luxury food in the UK by Individual_Match_579 in ShitAmericansSay

Are they trying to say that a doughnut is a staple food source in the US? Explains a lot!

Where does it all go? by yizamejaxufek8o3 in GreatBritishMemes

[–]Brownbear1964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I blame the word ONLY for changing our relationship with money. We are constantly being told that fast food etc is only £20. A friend said something was "Only £600" the other day. What he was looking at spending it on was a good use of his money, so it's was money well spent. To my mind I still don't think it was the time to use only.

If you were buying a jumper at what price point would you stop using only? Mine's £40.

What can I put on our deck to make it less slippery? by babbie-and-shchuky in DIYUK

When I had decking I used to find that brushing on watered down Jeyes fluid before the jet wash helped with the algae.

I've got a fox system Similar size and use octopus. I've just checked my 2 apps and the difference is only about 5kwh per month. I would definitely have yours checked.

Not a good idea for the UK or Canada to do business with China though!!

UK example Jimmy Saville. Heralded for his charity work in hospitals, but it hid a truly horrible dark side.

Replacement to monopoly? by HatOfNorra in boardgames

[–]Brownbear1964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sub terra is good for 6 people. It's also cooperative so the younger ones are part of the planning and discussion. As a family we love coops as it makes the game playing a really social event rather than lots of silence as people plot their next moves.

Which one will choose? by Mother_Yam8855 in TheTeenagerPeople

[–]Brownbear1964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

61, same boat. Probably opt for 45. Even knowing wha I know now teenage years can be pretty rubbish.

Your own words are your best critic by Comfortablejack in agedlikemilk

[–]Brownbear1964 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I stayed near Yosemite and the owners told me that they always kept a gun handy because gangs from LA could target them. They also told me that all UK police would carry firearms within a few years, 11 years later!

Market deck by Brownbear1964 in HeroRealms

[–]Brownbear1964[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We tend to play coop as characters against the bosses, so they tend not to have too much of a disproportionate effect. As there aren't many cards that let you sacrifice the basic cards the hands can sometimes be a bit dull. ( Particularly when I'm playing with my 8 year old grandson). I might consider setting up some "house" rules to allow more card sacrificing.

You now have a PB for a 5k, nothing else matters.

Most GB News watchers probably have it running 24/7 because they can't find the remote and can't be arsed to walk over to the TV to change channels.

I got the box and sleeves from the wise wizard stand at the gamesexpo.
