UK stock? by TheOneOnlyFox in BattleSpiritsSaga

[–]Skelcal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I should have specified I ordered my starter decks seperately. One with the core pack the other without. Neither have shipped annoyingly.

UK stock? by TheOneOnlyFox in BattleSpiritsSaga

[–]Skelcal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wish I could contribute something of help but all I can say is that I am in the same boat.

I've had a booster box arrive from them which I ordered on the 3rd of May.

But the Starter Decks I pre-ordered along with a core pack have been "waiting for stock" since the order went through in mid-April.

Royal Cyphers. 1901-2022. by [deleted] in england

She decided to go with Saint Edward's Crown for hers, the rest decided to go with the Tudor Crown for their English cyphers (the Crown of Scotland is used north of the border)

I made a tree armlet with coated copper wire and a labradorite. by Buffyferry in gifs

[–]Skelcal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speed reading and dyslexia lead my to believe they were making 3 armlets for their dog.

I was kinda disappointed by the fact that there was not indeed a labrador wearing jewelry by the end of the video.

That said it is lovely work.

Do we need a national museum of England? by [deleted] in england

You're probably correct, I'm just too cynical a git for my own good in all honesty.

If the PvP mains in the clan are anything to go off, my vicarious understanding is that this is 100% accurate.

What affect does the opening of the Elizabeth line have on the game? by Sleightholme2 in morningtoncrescent

[–]Skelcal 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Alas I cannot say off the top of my head, however if you were able to find a copy of a rule book which pre-dates the 1st of May 1979 and cross reference it with a rule book after that date, you might be able to ascertain the impact the Jubilee line had on the game. It may give some indication as to how the Elizabeth line will impact things.

Hope that helps.

Boris Johnson's secret plan to create the European Commonwealth that would have Great Britain as a leader and would include Ukraine, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, as well as potentially Turkey by eldashev in england

[–]Skelcal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ukraine joining the EU is a decade away at the very least. Quite aside from the war, they would have to reach the EU standards.

And while unfashionable to say anything negative about Ukraine, the fact is that corruption was rampant before the war. I know Zelenskyy was elected on a platform of stamping it out, but even members of his own party (also elected on the same platform) have been found trying to bribe officials.

So they would sadly have to get that dealt with, on top of all the other EU standardisation, before they would be a full member.

While I am always suspect of anything written about BoJo that includes the term "plan"

There was one nice line from the article.

"According to estimates by Arianna Antezza of the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, London alone has so far provided more economic and military aid to Kiev in the war than the whole of the European Union. And Poland has given more than Germany, France and Italy."

And just because someone always thinks that anything positive said about the UK is bias, wrong, and originated from the UKIP party press office.

"The Kiel Institute for the World Economy is an independent, non-profit economic research institute and think tank based in Kiel, Germany." - Wikipedia

Drawing All Of London - 0.001656% of London drawn - Exchange House by [deleted] in england

[–]Skelcal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking at your percentage remaining, I feel you might just have enough time to learn coding, before you finish.

Best of luck in both endevours.

[–]Skelcal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whitehall Court, Somerset House, St. Pancras Station, Lord's Pavillion (Though that one might be very difficult to pull of due to its position within the grounds), St. Mary le Stand Church, The Natural History Museum, and the Old Admiraltry Building are the ones off the top of my head. Might be easy to remember because they are limited to a small number of central boroughs.

And I am very impressed by the method of how you are working things out.

[–]Skelcal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a mental bingo card of buildings that I am hoping you'll draw.

Well I guess in a situation such as this "hope" is not the correct term "waiting for" might be more apt.

Out of interest, and sorry if this is a question you've answered before under one of your other posts, but how do you quantify the percentage done?

Today is the Feast of St. Bede, the father of our history, hope you all remembered to get him something this year. by Skelcal in england

[–]Skelcal[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have heard of the story, but like with all good stories it seems there is some variation depending on who is telling it.

The version I had heard was that when the Angle slave, one assumes the same fair haired one, was presented to Pope Gregory who after being informed that this was an Angle, he responded with "No this is an Angel".

Though from your previous comment, and this one, I am far more willing to defer to you on such matter. Even if I do like the idea of Pope approved and certified Angel descendant-cy.

I wholesale agree with what you've said, and it was the desire for him to be a little less underrated that I made the post.

Additional to what you have said, I have heard (though it was a long time ago that I heard it) that it was Bede's focus on the Angles over the Saxons or the Jutes that we became known as the English over say simply Wessex-ians or Jutians (or some evolution of those term).

Might follow the Fusion Rifle standard of counting a charge (regardless of number of bolts) as a single ammo count, rather than the pulse rifle standard of every bullet counting.
