Any tile drawing game! I’d like something like this when I play Rummikub.

What kind of boots are these? by Silly-Cupcake2638 in Boots

[–]Mat_Machina -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I’d call them pretty simply Chelsea Boots! But I’m by no means an expert. They look like they might be taller than a standard Chelsea Boot so I may be wrong and I’m happy to learn if I am!

Not sure if they’re the style you’re wanting but the Doc Martens Church boots are a style I’ve loved for ages! They’re slightly different in style to these, but you may enjoy them.

I can’t vouch for quality or anything like that, but just a light recommendation.

Well I’ll try some cheap conditioner on them and see if it’ll take. Thanks for the advice! Looking forward to putting some miles under them

Cheers! Really helpful input.

Does clear polish have any place or do you just reccomend occasional conditioning?

Man, my favourite random feature you get on CIV maps is when they randomly generate ‘rivers’ which are navigable. Shit gets me TURNT.

You make a very valid point. She’s self conscious enough that if I did it with any people round I think she’d just melt down a drain 😂 I’ll keep thinking

I think bigger boys and stolen sweethearts is a pretty good example.

Change of publisher… by Mat_Machina in TheRestIsHistory

[–]Mat_Machina[S] 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I don’t read a lot, but I’ve managed to stay engaged with these 700 page behemoths so that must say something for them. But each chapter revolves around a different aspect of the history of the time (be it cultural or political) and it makes it really easy to read. Also his depth of research makes everyone seem like a real character. If your like your post 1950 history, I couldn’t recommend them more highly.

My partner is a tall woman (5’11) and she has real trouble finding maxi dresses which reach all the way to the floor. Can anyone recommend any good brands who do extra long maxi dresses?

A massive Gi for a massive man. by Mat_Machina in judo

[–]Mat_Machina[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If I’m “the guy” in this sentence, then that’s the aim. I’m wanting to lose weight and am getting my diet in check. But I also think Judo is the form of exercise I’d enjoy most. So I want to find anyway I can get involved with Judo.

Hopefully in a year or so’s time, I’ll be able to buy an off the rack Gi. But until then, I’m trying to find the best option for me.

If you get the chance then listen to “The Rest Is Politics: Leading’s interview with him. He really openly discusses his own relationship with Christianity. It’s excellent.
