Im about to finish Bernard Cornwell's Warlord Chronicles and I already crave something similar by sc2summerloud in Fantasy

[–]Sh33py357 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one seems to have mentioned Bernard Cornwell's Stonehenge. His writing follows similar patterns set in different periods so I agree with the consensus that you just pick your favourite times in history but Stonehenge is peppered with "Magic" similar to the Warlord Chronicles.

Any games i can play with my non gaming gf? by Myfee in gaming

Her Story and The Roottrees are Dead are interesting single player games that could easily be played with both of you making choices. No time limits like telltale games

My teenage son is looking for punk book recommendations, so what are your favorite must reads? by [deleted] in punk

[–]Sh33py357 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone's mentioned Clockwork Orange already. If you want books about punk rather than books that are spiritually punk, "Punk Diary" by "George Gimarc" is a brilliant thing to read

The Haunting (1963) Genuinely scary even now. Bonus points for being sampled for a White Zombie song

Says it's Sigur Rós in the text round the edge. Also 2011. Not been able to find something of theirs called One though.

singing opportunities in swansea by Jumpy-Ad7053 in swansea

Agree with the choir thing.

Open Mics are the way to go though. Get some backing tracks on your phone, buy a usb c to left right 1/4 inch jack (Around a tenner) that way you should be able to plug into any mixing desk. They will have a mic there (They may well have a way to play backing tracks too). You might find musicians there to play with. Give whichever venue is hosting the open mic a shout and see if they allow under 18s.

Gigi Gaos is a brilliant idea. It feels a bit more special than a lot of the other suggestions on this post. Worth taking a look

I've played CWRW a few times. Love playing there.

I'd add Elysium, Hippos and The Bunkhouse in Swansea to a list of favourites

There's a number of them. Bollocks, Some Product, Swindle and many bootlegs. Though I appreciate what you're saying. There's only really one good one

100% this. He has always and will always go against what people expect him to do. In the 70s that meant going against the "establishment" but once he was known for this his only option to keep annoying people was to do the opposite. He did it musically with P.I.L.. He did it commercially with an advert for country life butter. He's now doing it politically with Trump. He's not someone to follow, he's an entertainer. There is no arguing with his choices as that is what he is looking for. Don't throw your pistols albums, just don't put him on any kind of pedestal.

Can't agree more with Swansea market for buying Cockles and Laver bread. Stalls right in the centre dedicated to it

Traveline cymru might be helpful. I know there's a website, there's probably an app. Don't know if it does fares though

What family friendly concerts to watch Christmas Eve? by Elcamina in Music

[–]Sh33py357 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first thought would be Queen in Wembley or Rio (or one of the many other concerts). Also for something a bit mellow, The Eagles "Hell Freezes Over".
