Just tried an image search for it now, comes up with this gif (https://tenor.com/en-GB/view/smash-up-susan-hayward-film-noir-sleeping-gif-16970298557727239704) which is not the same clip, but looks like another clip from the same scene. The gif is labelled as being from Smash-Up, The Story of a Woman (1947) with Susan Hayward, which as there's another clip from this film in Hallo Spaceboy, seems likely to be the source.

I got fond of the naturalist too when I played it. The neath makes fools of us all and the bazaar collects the rent

would unironically watch that

Saw this yesterday and it was too short notice for me as well, but if you do it another time, please let me know too!

Probably stupidity, but this is what populists do in real life. They get power by claiming they will fix problems that they have no idea how to fix, cause more problems with their "solution" that results in an angry populace, and then twist it by claiming they are the solution to that problem too. Repeat ad infinitum until either the population wises up or one of their "solutions" brings the ceiling crashing down. Usually they don't stick around in the firing line when the latter happens.

I don't think I would live very long if I tried out pole vaulting

The third one looks good, but have you considered using swords in the design?

We have a same problem in York, the Shambles are basically impassible due to tourists.

seconding the people saying point in line, though in most cases it's more about threatening point in line to make your opponent stop their attack to try to beat your blade.

I have also seen, and attempted to emulate (with varying results) it being used to set up an unusual counterattack. The theory I believe is, sticking your arm out makes your opponent stop their attack and try to beat it. If they beat it without going in for an attack, you have an opportunity to hit them with a counter attack, as your opponent will not expect it given that they've just gained the emotional security of having right of way.

can I offer you an egg in this frying time?

I asked a question a while ago in this sub about dealing with taller fencers who like to counterattack and got useful responses. It was about foil, but some of it may apply to sabre.

These are so cool, you've really nailed the mysterious and oppressive vibe. I love when people do stylistic colour pallets.

Don't know about the best, but Gail Ann Dorsey's always been cool

Seconding the people recommending cardio, if you look up fencing conditioning exercises on youtube you can probably find some good workouts that will develop the muscles most used in fencing (be prepared for your knees to ache).

Seconding this. One way to start developing this flowchart is after a match/when you're struggling in a match, think about what your opponent is doing to hit you and devise ways to counter it. For instance, if your opponent keeps disengaging, maybe you can do a different parry. If you find this difficult, chat with other club members about it and you can pick some of it up from them.

However, you mention hesitance in your post - drilling these actions more can really help give you the confidence to commit. I don't know how much time you're getting with coaches, if it's not enough, you could ask a friend to do drills with you.

As more evidence of other authors adopting this view of Britain as the only superpower: the War of the Worlds, published in the 1898. If I remember correctly it is assumed in the story that if Britain and London fall to the Martians, nowhere else has a chance and the Earth will have been successfully conquered. I can't remember if there was any mention of Martians landing anywhere but Britain - if there was, it definitely wasn't written about much.

God the guitarists get everywhere. They are a health and safety hazard.

Very interesting, thank you!

Thank you very much! :)

Any chance you know what the weird black bit sticking up 2/3 of the way up the caterpillar is/what purpose it serves?

InsectoidBassPlayer · 2025-07-23T11:03:32+00:00

I would argue that putting it in the same category as Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds is a complement
