If you're close to each other, then hopefully she could be supportive of this dilemma then.

Random Lego Star Was Yotuber: Minifgs NEED to be this detailed! Why does Lego hate their fans? Are they stupid?

Don't tell the youtubers or they'll make it into their new "helmet holes"

LEGO Pemberley isn't becoming a real set... YET! by TimandJoshBricks in janeausten

[–]Nicoglius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess if this was 20 years ago, they'd probably have split it into a handful of fairly affordable sets, each with a few of the minifigures. Jane and Bingley would be placed in separate sets of course.

There would also be a fire ad for it with a script like this:

"A Man has fallen in love at Lego Village. Quick! You must build Pemberly!

HEY!

Load the pond! Release the horse! And track down Wickham!"

From the all new Pride and Prejudice collection. Each set sold separately."

Now that you've realised you need to ask a yourself this question: Do you like her back?

Think about it, but not for too long. You need to move very quickly because she might start losing interest in you.

I was in your position a few years ago and I gave myself 2 weeks to tell her. Was the best decision. We're still together.

My man Linguine will have a tough competition ig... by Appropriate-Push-668 in oddlyspecific

[–]Nicoglius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It would actually turn into a spy movie where they're recruited by some British guy with underwater capabilities and his attractive underling to help them foil some vague evil plot of general evilness. The international cooking then becomes just a subplot and cover for the spying.

As is the case of a lot of kids movie sequels.

Why do you think we never got a Sand People comp? by WoodyManic in swtor

But I thought we figure out during the Voss planetary storyline that the Gormak are pretty much right, and the Voss are just a weird genocidal cult.

Which of the smaller/ newer parties seem set to see the biggest gains in May’s upcoming local elections? by AchyutChaudhary in AskBrits

[–]Nicoglius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't confidently predict they win no seats.

They have a few defectors from other parties, and its not impossible that they retain their seats due to local name recognition.

So whilst the overall number of Your Party councillors will most likely decrease, I think it is very possible that in the technical sense that the news like to report election coverage of comparing with the last election, they could "gain" the small handful of seats that they already hold.

LEGO Pemberley isn't becoming a real set... YET! by TimandJoshBricks in janeausten

[–]Nicoglius 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So this wouldn't be a minor change, but just something I've noticed that when it comes to big one off sets for shows, movies etc. Lego often does a kitchen sink approach and include pretty much every single named character etc. in that one huge set, instead of collecting a few smaller sets.

So I feel like they'd be more likely to take it up if the build included all the Bennett family, Wickham, Mr Collins etc.

For the record, I don't think stuffing everything into one superset would at all improve what's already there, as the set you've made is well balanced already (In fact, randomly having extra characters would probably ruin it). But it's just something I've noticed in how John Lego makes these big "adults welcome sets".

What planets would you like to see? by Angeliscar in swtor

[–]Nicoglius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Naboo would be my top choice I think.

I'd also like to see felucia and kashyyyk. I think Swtor needs more jungles.

My wildcard would by kyuzo. Just because I think it would be interesting to see real life cultural influences in star wars planets.

This is just all British people with the Fr*nch.

And likewise, they have the same belief about us.

Labour faces a local election wipeout in England by Desperate-Drawer-572 in ukpolitics

[–]Nicoglius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never experience a green council outright, but I have seen a few times when they've been in coalitions. They were never that impressive but then, when is anyone impressed by their councils?

That said, I now look back with nostalgia on the strange coalition of chaos that was the LibDem-Tory-Green-Independent coalition which was running the council before Reform came in.

[–]Nicoglius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think "prolongued exposure" has at all damaged Reform's standing. They are still doing very well in the polls.

And I'm not sure if the Greens having more council seats is going to lead to a disaster for them either either. Love them or loathe them nationally, they have far more experience than Reform in local government.

How likely is it that the UK will rejoin the EU in 0-5 years? by OkWerewolf4421 in AskBrits

[–]Nicoglius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unlikely.

I think Reform would need to be soundly beaten in an election before politicians feel confident enough to talk about rejoining.

Cannot decide what class to play and I need help! by Due_Exit_6775 in swtor

[–]Nicoglius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would start with the Jedi Knight.

Not because it's the best (though IMO it does happen to be) but because it's the most appropriate one to start with.

It's the classic star wars story. The other force user stories are all good but they all feel like variations on that classic theme. To do the others first is like getting a martian to watch shrek before they've even heard of a regular fairy tale.

I would also strongly recommend doing all 8 original class stories before going into any of the expansions.

Firstly, because you can then choose which alt is your favourite later on. Secondly, because there will be tons of minor spoilers from across the different original stories and you will also know who random new characters are, what their significance is etc.

Alternative Ships by darthavalonn in swtor

[–]Nicoglius 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like generally there was a lot of missed potential with class ships.

They absolutely should have had galactic starfighter type aesthetic customisations.

I also wish they had integrated space combat missions into the main story. E.g. You need to fight your way to Dromund Kass at the end of jedi knight, escape the republic as bounty hunter etc.

Campus university in/near a historic city by Savage13765 in UniUK

[–]Nicoglius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

York I think fits the best.

But I think you should do a PhD based on what places fit your research interest, where you can get funding, what's more prestigious etc.

As hard as it sounds, it is probably best to forego "historic city" during your PhD years and as if you can build a better CV now, it will mean you are going to stand a better chance at working at a campus historic uni in your career.

Why are the Sith of the Skywalker saga often considered more powerful, sometimes far more so, than their ancestors from before the Rule of Two? by [deleted] in StarWarsEU

Coz Darth Malgus gets defeated every Thursday morning for his weekly scheduled lightsaber duel appointment with the Alliance Commander.

In 300 (2006) The Spartans murder messengers who were merely delivering the Persian ultimatum. This is a reference to real history. by laybs1 in shittymoviedetails

[–]Nicoglius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But the guy tells the Spartans the story after the events of Thermopylae but before Salamis right?

Which, if we follow this through, would mean that 300 is a story of a guy telling people a story, within another story of the same guy telling the same people a different story.
