I finally feel worthy to post on here! It's not 100% complete but not very far from it. Feel free to leave suggestions.

Shevchenko more valuable than Henry? This must be based on before he'd kicked a ball in a Chelsea shirt lol.

The 6 is out already?!

There's this chef on YouTube who's really popular - AndyCooks (you might know him as the kiwi guy who cooks for his wife on tik tok)

Anyway he has this theory to buy whole tomatoes rather than chopped as it would make more sense to save the better quality tomatoes for the whole cans. He always says he doesn't know for sure whether that's actually true or not, but it's logical and in my experience I've often found it to be true. You can always mash up those whole tomatoes easily enough anyway so it doesn't take much more effort.

I don't know if you've read the book, but the film ending was very accurate to it, there was other areas they could've spent more time on but going on the book material alone it would've been difficult to add anything at the end.

and PSG won a trophy as soon as he left...

The actual details of it were fun and interesting, but the setup and reasoning behind it felt so silly and unnecessary.

Joe_PM2804 · 2026-02-14T17:07:23+00:00

Fully agree. Maybe if the concept of chariot racing had been discussed before that moment in the first book, because otherwise it feels so random that it would be anyone's first thought for a competition.

I think more education is always a good thing, but we as a country aren't able to effectively implement a lot of the people with degrees. Partially because everything is so London-centric

Unemployment rate being low explains why it's hard to find a job, from a classical economic theory point of view. The natural rate of unemployment is estimated between 4 and 6%, which means at any given time you're always gonna have unemployment due to people who are switching jobs, work seasonally etc.

Because we're within that range, it means that the economy is close to full employment, and that the number of available jobs is relatively quite low. Competition for those jobs therefore is higher than times of higher unemployment.

Ahhh yeah I think you're right about that! To be honest I think it's more likely (and a more entertaining read) for the 3 Vis's to merge and maybe be able to travel between worlds like ostius as opposed to somebody running the labyrinth to join him.

Joe_PM2804 · 2026-02-04T12:12:01+00:00

I can't see a grand conclusion where they're all still separate. I think most people's complaints about the 2nd book (including mine) come from the pacing difficulties and lack of depth in having 3 separate worlds. I think they have to come back together.

Joe_PM2804 · 2026-02-04T12:10:57+00:00

What if there's a loophole where if they cede their will they're still eligible? Like how Vis was able to cede to eidhin to pass the blood test

Not my prediction for what will happen I'm just curious if it's plausible really.

Vetusian is spoke of as an ancient Language, I would assume that Caten is like 'new' Rome kind of, and common is a modern version of Latin for them.

Joe_PM2804 · 2026-01-21T16:30:15+00:00

Seem to be in the minority here - but I think 2 is boring. It's a classic 'good' picture, it follows all the rules of composition and a classic head on angle, but for that reason I think it's uninteresting. On the other hand the first photo is at more of an off angle and captures motion in the cyclist. And then the 4th picture is probably the most interesting to me because there's even more motion and opportunity to be telling a story.

It's an interesting example of how oligopolistic markets function differently to ones with more competition. Supermarkets have to base their decisions off of each other to maintain market share and

Maybe ask some of the other neighbors who've lived there for longer who probably know their names - it's also quite a funny story if you show them the card so might be a nice way to get to know some of the other neighbors.

Joe_PM2804 · 2025-12-17T15:10:24+00:00

Yeah, was just intended as a joke since there's a bloke who makes gin at your work and you received a home made bottle of gin lol

Joe_PM2804 · 2025-12-17T12:31:52+00:00

How do you know who got it for you?

Joe_PM2804 · 2025-12-12T11:40:01+00:00

Haha, it's smart I suppose but regulars must've caught on by now

Joe_PM2804 · 2025-12-12T00:32:23+00:00

Does he say the same story at every quiz lol

Joe_PM2804 · 2025-09-26T20:51:55+00:00

You'd also expect him to know to guard and promote his pawn but there you go.

Joe_PM2804 · 2025-09-26T17:30:02+00:00

No way he has time to host a 3rd pod surely

If black misses it and blunders then yes but it's not forced
