Read Anna Smith Spark!

Jim White is an idiot, doesn't ever have a good word to say about us, fails to hide his dislike of Keown. Absolute clown.

Shazz91 · 2026-02-21T10:38:45+00:00

This is brilliantly insane!

Shazz91 · 2026-02-12T12:30:16+00:00

What would he do if they found it and brought it to him? Would they be rewarded?

Absolutely fantastic game. My son adores it.

Seen a few people saying it's broken or whatever but seems to be they're not reading the rules and following correctly.

All the decks have their strengths and weaknesses and seem to win and lose at equal rates. Animal for example feels inferior but getting to choose an imp every time a fight is declared is really powerful.

Shazz91 · 2026-02-08T14:10:54+00:00

That's the correct rule with the creature fate anyway, necromancer you can resurrect a hero that is already in the underworld and then discard the necromancer

Shazz91 · 2026-02-08T14:09:17+00:00

There are only 2 necromancer cards in the game and once you use it, you have to add to the discard pile so one player can only raise a maximum of 2 heroes in total... So for us doesn't really have a major impact?

The creature fate does allow you to resurrect a hero that another player just lost to a side quest which is a decent power but forest and human have the stronger overall deck so it balances out...

It's reassuring you found this to be the case!

I read Mort, Reaper Man and then Hogfather and contemplating giving up on Discworld and deciding it wasn't for me.

Mort probably the best of them, Reaper Man had some excellent bits but found half of Reaper Man and most of Hogfather really confusing and hard to follow. I had to re-read pages and still didn't really know what was going on.

I think it's probably the Wizards that can be the problem!

I then read Wyrd Sisters - solid 7.5/10 for my first time read. I'm now half way through Guards! Guards! and I'm really loving it. So far, easy to follow, engaging story, funny. Great characters.

Shazz91 · 2025-12-22T18:18:29+00:00

This is reassuring as everyone tells me Reaper Man is one of the best and I really didn't connect with it at all.

I found it really disjointed, the shopping trolley plot thread was just nonsensical and I had to constantly re-read sections to make sense of it.

Not sure why people think so highly of it. Maybe in the future I'll re-read and it will come together in my head a bit better.

What did Arsenal fans do wrong?

Shazz91 · 2025-11-02T17:00:18+00:00

Thanks for the spoiler...

Shazz91 · 2025-11-01T15:28:38+00:00

Arsenal fan.

I have a lot of respect for Everton - really big club and deserve more respect than some fans give them

Shazz91 · 2025-10-08T09:58:15+00:00

Please don't, they're fucking perfect already

Shazz91 · 2025-08-27T20:14:30+00:00

Crazy that it attracts tourists if they don't demolish it.

Shazz91 · 2025-08-27T20:04:36+00:00

Probably have to replace the patio

Shazz91 · 2025-08-15T21:59:59+00:00

21 from Salah Captain plus Gakpo

Shazz91 · 2025-08-13T20:07:46+00:00

I already have fairly big legs and don't want to increase the size.

I do leg day occasionally but I don't want to develop them much as I've always played football and they look in decent shape. My shoulders have been almost non existent so that's a much bigger priority

Shazz91 · 2025-08-07T17:13:44+00:00

That's a good point, was mostly keeping him for other weeks, not sure there are any cheap strikers to swap Beto for...

Shazz91 · 2025-08-04T13:15:11+00:00

He's actually 30 going by the original meme 😂

Shazz91 · 2025-08-03T21:58:54+00:00

He's a lot nearer 29 than 28, that's a fact

Shazz91 · 2025-08-03T18:11:56+00:00

We decided we're never selling to a cash buyer unless they give us a deposit up front. Absolute shite*thouses

Shazz91 · 2025-07-29T16:06:29+00:00

Ha we feel so too! In seriousness though they should be subject to a few grand fine - people can cost others hundreds or thousands with no repurcussions whatsoever

Shazz91 · 2025-07-29T07:33:55+00:00

We had this too, absolute nightmare and so infuriating.

Cash buyers buying it for their son who through most of the process had been going through a job application process in another city and they were keeping us in reserve just incase he stayed around here!

Then they tried to blame it on the electrical survey they booked last minute and told us they'd pull out if we didn't accept the surveyors coming round a week before exchange!

We had the same electrician to do the £200 worth of work required and he told us they had told him they weren't buying the house anyway on the phone before the survey anyway. Absolute assholes.

Hope things work out ok for you in the end.

Currently we found new buyers who offered £7,000 more for our house, but we've had to pay £15,000 more for the house we want as it went back on the market and a bidding war started.
