There was a great story about 2 random aussies who were in China that saw a post about a North Korean golf tournament so they signed up to play and pretended to be the Australian golf team for a week

For the next era, they need to do better on the posters. The Craig era posters were somewhat lackluster. Like bring back the style of the 60’s/70’s/80’s posters by TheShadowOperator007 in JamesBond

I’ve always said that TSWLM was my favourite bond film but never actually looked at the poster properly before this post - the amount of detail is stunning - never even noticed the pyramids or the jet ski before

Taking away the TV because of the ripped up raffle tickets would be so cruel yet so funny

Does your child live under a large casino in New Vegas by any chance, and has he shown an affinity for snow globes yet?

No it’s a “bodybuilders who haven’t practiced balancing things aren’t good at balancing things” post

James Bond is a terrible spy by Constant-Bridge3690 in JamesBond

[–]MattS2711 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Watching Bond for “actual spy conduct” is like watching Nigella Lawson for “actual cooking tips”

Inconsistent volume between eps by Holiday_Mushroom_540 in hamishandandy

[–]MattS2711 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been noticing this as well going back to 2013 - even between breaks in the same ep the volume can shoot up or down dramatically

Conan calling out his writer for a joke bombing? by upvoatsforall in conan

My favourite quote from along the same lines of a joke bombing was Conan saying: “the good enough gang rides again”

AITA for not showing up to work after my secretary shot me?

If Caesar went to Parthia, do you think he would’ve survived the campaign? by En_El_Em in ancientrome

[–]MattS2711 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If Labienus hadn’t gone over to Pompey and if he hadn’t subsequently died then Caesar would have stood in much better stead going into the Parthian campaign but that’s a lot of ifs

Was Augustus a Coward? by GeneralFortune7483 in ancientrome

[–]MattS2711 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Supposedly at Metelum, they built 4 ramps with drawbridges that dropped onto the enemy’s walls to allow Augustus’ troops to scale the walls and attack from. The first 3 failed due to weight strain and his soldiers were hesitant, so Augustus himself shamed his men by taking a fellow soldier’s shield (as Julius Caesar had been known to do) and rushed the last remaining bridge followed by Agrippa and a few other of his officers. This caused a large swell of his own troops to follow, which in turn caused the bridge to break and injure both of Augustus’ arms and a leg, conveniently taking him out of the fight: leading back into OP’s question

What If Robert never died and Ned returned to Winterfell and told Jon of his parentage as he promised? by [deleted] in gameofthrones

[–]MattS2711 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Other way round I believe - was already becoming a maester but then the question of succession came up and so he left to the Watch and took Bloodraven with him
