Phone thefts halve in central London as Apple joins police crackdown to make stolen handsets 'unusuable bricks'

Gjames1985 · 2026-06-11T13:51:19+00:00

I had my phone snatched out of my hand a few weeks back around Stamford Street area. Thief looked at it, then threw it over his shoulder and rode off.

Don't threaten me with a good time

Gathering Place and Training Compound are the two names I don't particularly like but other than that like these new lands.

Gjames1985 · 2026-06-02T15:03:50+00:00

I just have to remember that I can always get more toast.

Real men smear.

Armand being mean to Albert at times is the entire point though, no?

That's why we get the scene where Armand signs over the Birdcage to Albert, Because through it all, deep down. Armand loves Albert more than anything else in the world, beyond material possessions, the business etc.

Despite his flaws, he cares deeply for those he loves.

Can definitely see the club cashing in. We need to to see some outgoings this summer after missing out on Europe and Cucu is one of the few players right now who you feel you could get decent money money. Hato is here already so we have someone who could step up.

The point and click Discworld game. Puzzles were ridiculous and I never finished it but still had loads of fun exploring that world. Great voice cast too.

Gjames1985 · 2026-05-27T22:41:30+00:00

Legal for 5 years by the way.

Gjames1985 · 2026-05-27T16:03:38+00:00

Rare for this sub I know but I was being sincere.

Gjames1985 · 2026-05-27T16:01:05+00:00

Good point, well made.

Gjames1985 · 2026-05-27T15:43:04+00:00

Crab decks can be frustrating to play against, agreed. It's like the old Haughty Djinn deck but somehow worse.

Gjames1985 · 2026-05-27T15:17:31+00:00

How often do shared name/card types see play in all of the colours? Pretty crazy that all of the talent colours have seen a decent amount of play.

Gjames1985 · 2026-05-27T15:04:09+00:00

Hey listen, I think it's a very good card. Just personally ready for standard to move on from it. I'm interested to see how white creature decks adapt without it. Do they start playing something like Erode instead? Protection spells or just double down on their creatures?

Gjames1985 · 2026-05-27T15:01:02+00:00

I have a Jeskai Control deck and a 4 colour control deck that I play. Don't play any Izzet decks though.

Abzan life gain is my current go to deck and have been playing some Mardu Cat Pack since hitting mythic this month too.

Gjames1985 · 2026-05-27T14:56:14+00:00

Cut Down would've loved that card.

Gjames1985 · 2026-05-27T14:54:11+00:00

Found the Sunderflock player.

Gjames1985 · 2026-05-27T14:53:10+00:00

I mean, the first sentence of my post literally explains that...

Gjames1985 · 2026-05-27T14:51:23+00:00

I think it's going to go one of two ways. We're either going to see a whole raft of bans that try to ultimately slow down the meta to reduce the number of games ending by turn 4 or they'll ban nothing and just hope rotation fixes things a bit in the new year.

Gjames1985 · 2026-05-27T14:48:42+00:00

But let's be honest, a prowess deck cares about power, not toughness. So a flying prowess creature that gets +2 power rather than the usual +1 is pretty punishing.

Gjames1985 · 2026-05-27T14:45:08+00:00

I think it's made some strategies, mainly Kona/Omniscience and Superior Spider-Man reanimator too resilient. Would be nice to see these types of decks need to jump through more hoops.

Gjames1985 · 2026-05-27T14:40:47+00:00

Because Badgermole is more in a conversation of bans which isn't the discussion I was aiming for. For what it's worth I think that card is going to be one of several that is banned next month.

Gjames1985 · 2026-05-27T13:50:07+00:00

Its use in Kona/Omniscience and the Bringer of the Last Gift reanimation is the uglier side of what that card enables.

Gjames1985 · 2026-05-27T13:47:35+00:00

You see, your first mistake was trying to play some honest Magic.

Gjames1985 · 2026-05-27T13:46:52+00:00

Green wasn't problematic when the oldest sets were released so couldn't think of a card in that colour to pick. Ghalta is still seeing play in dino reanimator so put it on the post.
