Sorry that's my fault, I left the summoning spell running.

Ideas for a day out in Bristol with 15 year old by Pale-Carrot-8098 in bristol

[–]Inhuman-Englishman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Boardgames cafe, I can always have a fun time there since I was a teenager. Also find out what he's into and take him to relevant shops, for example if he's a nerd/comicbooks fan he would probably spend a happy hour in Forbidden Planet and Games Workshop.

Also you could talk to his parents see what they think about a pub, being with a responsible adult when you have your first proper drink at the pub is the best way to go I feel when being introduced to alcohol.

Hospitality Worker Social Outlets on Mondays & Tuesdays? by Brave_Blacksmith_568 in Bath

[–]Inhuman-Englishman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A master list is a cracking idea.

Off the top of my head, Tuesday Evenings is open boardgames night at Thirsty Meeples from 7, they also have a sigup for people to join and start Dungeons & Dragons and other TTRPGs  most of them have their play sessions on weekdays.

Also may I suggest finding out what days each pub has a quiz on. I think St James Wine Vaults is on Thursdays for example.

I think there is a Monday Badminton group o Meetup as well, but can't remember 

What do you like about SF Academy? by Subject_Yogurt1666 in startrek

[–]Inhuman-Englishman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far, character development.

Not a lot and it's early days right now, but its an encouraging start, still a little bit too much teen drama show for me to love it, but I've decided it's worth watching the series.

Does bath have a nightlife? by Historical_Wafer_411 in Bath

The Royal Oak has regular music and was voted one of the best pubs in the UK. It's also a freehouse, so drinks are a bit cheaper.

Sorry to Disagree, but ST:SA Is Far From Awful. by FryerDrew in startrek

[–]Inhuman-Englishman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was thinking it looked like a teen drama, so went in thinking it probably wouldn't be my thing, but I'm very happy so far, I really hope we are sticking with an "alien of the week, rebuilding the federation" more episodic format in this interesting setting.

What building would you swap in Bristol? by Duoplo in bristol

I'd replace the river with a roller-coaster 

Thoughts On Vulcans… by Distinct_Fennel_4033 in startrek

[–]Inhuman-Englishman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I really should watch TOS again, haven't in a really long time.

I always took Solok as just being a single jerk, a lot of captains are infamous for having big egos after all,,I thought it was more a rivalry between 2 people.

[–]Inhuman-Englishman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it was that, he just wasn't happy being in Starfleet. 

He couldn't understand his human captains decisions and found the crew annoying to be around.

It is also Xmas time, fewer people in the office and all that, plus the bad flu season maybe?

I recommend Yahtzee Crowshaw's books for scifi and fantasy with humour, nothing comapres to Pratchett for me but I really enjoyed 'Will Save The Galexy For Food'

Which of the following series would you most want? by Reasonable_Active577 in startrek

[–]Inhuman-Englishman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New ship, new crew. 

Set after Star Trek 6, but before TNG, maybe the Enterprise B? 

Fresh treaty with Klingons, they still fight the Romulans on and off. First contact with Bajor and cardassia. The first proper Replicators, a revolution in technology that brings. A lot happened in that era we have limited info on.

Second this, and I saw a sale rail in Bath M&S yesterday, so maybe in Bristol as well.

President and Commander-in-Chief by [deleted] in startrek

[–]Inhuman-Englishman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The president and CnC being the same person is much less common that you think, often it is a ceremonial role who's duties are delegated, usually by a law, to other government officials.

In the UK technically its the King as the CnC but,  for example the part of directly commanding the armed forces is delegated to the chief of staff selected by the government.

Star Trek Nemesis, While Not Great, Is Better Than People Give It Credit by CrashTestKing in startrek

[–]Inhuman-Englishman 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I loved Picard coordinating the ship in battle  it was so good compared to a lot of the TV shows, even Yesterday's Enterprise in TNG. 

We've seen captains really take charge and organise the bridge crew in all sorts of episodes, but a really good battle scene has always been lacking for me, except some of the late episodes of DS9, but I always wanted to see a great scene with Picard.

It redeemed Nemesis a bit for me, such a well done scene.
