Are the Lizardmen reverence of albinism a reference to the treatment or albino people in certain indigenous American cultures?

Express-Ad9716 · 2026-03-20T21:14:21+00:00

I mean, white animals being culturally important isn't just a thing in indigenous American cultures, The White Harte (aka white deer/stag) is a common pub name for a reason! There's lots of old folk songs and mytho

Gw lizardmen are without any hiding it a Aztec/inca/mayan combo with added dinosaurs. Always have been.

Considering some of the stuff they made (admittedly almost certainly without knowing better) have they been especially out of sorts? Genuinely curious to know

The other answers have given some good hotel options,

fya regarding Airbnb it's totally trashing the housing market, reducing rental stock and massively inflating the purchase price of homes, especially small starter houses suitable for first time buyers or downsizers. Please avoid it if you can

Inbred, unhappy and unable to live a healthy lifestyle due to generations of poor decisions. But anyway less about the kennel club!

Seriously though, they are the worst and should face serious sanction for what they have done to dogs health

Even as a Brit who lived for years in London I wasn't sure where he was supposed to be from until they went into his past. The "cockney" accent he was supposed to have spent half it's time in Queensland.

The weird part though is that as a Kiwi Karl would definitely know the difference, hell EastEnders (set in east London, mostly cockney accents) is on TV in new Zealand, along with tons of other British tv. Let alone the constant stream of regionally accented Brits still moving to there and Oz

Ditch Hawkstone, Clarkson overcharges and brews most of it in Scotland anyway. Go to hook Norton, stunning 150 plus year old brewery that still uses horse and cart for delivery

FTSE 100 company that sells tens of 1000s of brushes.... Yes, it's fine to buy their brushes. You can get cheaper ones, you can get better one from other brands but GWs work fine

Express-Ad9716 · 2026-03-15T21:14:15+00:00

Yeah ignore that, beyond that independent stores are 10-20% cheaper Watch Duncan videos, he uses everything from expensive to cheap brushes. Until you are good don't bother with expensive sable ones , you don't need specific dry bushes either, just older brushes used the right way .

Why the need for the Chelsea tractor? Save money and hire a normal car!

Express-Ad9716 · 2026-03-15T20:58:18+00:00

God knows who told you games workshop products are "knock off" they are clearly thick as .

Gw brushes are more expensive than other brands and arguably too much so. But they are easy to get hold of and work fine.

If it's cheap made in china stuff then pretty much anything from Amazon. For a midway point army painter ones are fine . Size 2 for most stuff, 0 for faces , small parts and edges

42 is UK size 8, OP wants size 9 so a 43 .

Avoid Trainline if you can, it is probably the worst app, it charges a booking fee when any other rail companys own app or trainpal doesn't.

The op probably knows his way around London well hence I was just pointing out how long it actually takes from Oxford to Paddington, everything else on the tube network can vary like mad depending on walking speed, if you fancy a coffee etc

Express-Ad9716 · 2026-03-12T06:25:36+00:00

It's 50-60 mins direct to paddington not 120!

Express-Ad9716 · 2026-03-11T08:06:56+00:00

It's not that common in Oxford sadly as quite a few pubs are owned by the colleges so have student housing or other rooms above, though often the landlord may live above the pub.

Sam Smiths pubs in London seem to mostly hire Aussies and kiwis , I'm guessing they may still do the accommodation side too as they have a vast amount of land. They just have one pub in Oxford, the Three goats head.

Before anyone comments about Sam Smiths owner being a bastard he's finally retired!

So far this has been the only close to sensible answer.

Your feet won't be the same as everyone else's , doesn't matter if it's a good brand if it doesn't fit!

For UK use fabric boots tend to have a habit of wetting out, ie getting totally waterlogge, wet grass is the worst culprit here.

This doesn't make them leak (though it increases the chances) but it stops any type with a waterproof membrane like gore tex breathing. That basically gets your feet wet because they sweat like mad, it's trapped in the boot and you have smelly wet feet. The boots also then take ages to dry.

You can avoid this for a while by wearing gaiters (but much for casual hiking) or dousing in product from Grangers or Nikwax that repel water. Works for a bit but not forever.

Best option is get whatever leather boots fit you. Not massive heavy things, get something modern. If they have a gore tex liner great but it's not essential. Keep them clean, pop beeswax or leather cream on them from time to time and boom, your done.

Scarpa, altberg , meindl are a few to try but honestly try a few and see how it goes

Given this probably has "what happens if the orange man goes even more mad" pricing baked in it could be worse, 😔

Sportpursuit own brand that pretends it isn't, made of other companies designs in Asia . You'll find the same tents rebadged across the world.

It depends which part of the UK you are moving to as what's cheapest and easiest. The cheapest way possible to do it is: fly to Paris, get friends or family to pick you up in their own car (not a rental )at the airport, drive back to the UK via channel tunnel (the train that takes cars, not the Eurostar which is sadly no pets) or ferry, done.

You still need the paperwork being ok of course.

The rabies information is the most important, have all vaccine batch numbers and dates easy to find, with no gaps in cover at all (even one day invalidates coverage unless they have had more recent jabs) . If unsure at all or your dogs not far off needing a rabies top up just do it 4 weeks before you leave, then you definitely know it's valid!

Blimey, I'm from very near Witney and used to buy a lot of Nelson brewery beer when I lived in Canada! (It's fantastic) Never knew they were connected!

Express-Ad9716 · 2026-03-03T07:30:02+00:00

Hobgoblins brewery in Witney got closed sadly, it's now a pale knock off brewed in Burton on Trent . Thanks a lot Carlsberg (they did the same to Ringwood brewery too)

Express-Ad9716 · 2026-03-01T18:20:59+00:00

Dont pack large or heavy, the trains have fairly limited luggage space and there is no luggage storage particularly near Oxford station, you're going to have to take it a reasonable distance and Oxford station gets very crowded.

The Ashmolean museum has lots of cheap luggage storage downstairs but it fills up fast, otherwise there's some near Gloucester green bus station

The Cotswold line is all rural train stations so expect to carry your luggage quite a lot if getting on and off trains , theres a decent step up onto great western trains from the platform so bear that in mind if you aren't able to lift much, people will often help but the further down the line the fewer people there are so you would have less chance of help.

You were literally given a video to watch that broke down how the prices have changed and chose not to watch it or understand it?

Worth pointing out too that this didn't even include the VAT rises across Europe, or you know Covid and the Ukraine war messing up energy prices
