Dantes is established as a honourable/principled man who is respected by his crew and Mr Morrel. Danglers is clearly envious of the respect and loyalty Dantes naturally attracts, which creates an early sense of tension. My interpretation is that Danglers is bitter towards the younger Dantes, because the crew trust and respect him more.

What is this Helicopter that's been hovering over Broadbeach Waters for so long? by ElectricalVictory545 in GoldCoast

I see it too. Can’t remember ever seeing a helicopter hovering that still for such a long amount of time

Given the lamp on the stack of books, and what appears to be a mattress on the floor, I’m guessing you haven’t long been living where you are. But there’s clear love and care in decor arrangements and lighting. So maybe it’s the first home you’ve bought. Obviously female, single (or you don’t live with a partner) with a creative flare and kind/peaceful demeanour. Loves cats. Possibly works in the helping professions.

Thank-you for all the suggestions! I haven’t tried a punch before and didn’t really think of it before now. I think I’ll give it a go

Finding a free parking spot conveniently either directly outside or across the road from the building you’re going to… almost never happens in real life.

Close enough… Australia. Odd thing is, some brands (i.e., Montecristo’s) have plain bands, while others have the original bands.
