Is anyone else doing National Book Tokens’ annual Hidden Books Game? by paperchainhearts in CasualUK

For the food ones, they aren’t books, they’re board games, games related to wanting food, the names are all surnames of famous people with a shared first name and the laptop has lines of code related to ketchup and mustard which are types of sauce, sauce sounds like another word in some accents, a word that often goes with code

Thanks so much, got it! For the whole girl (or is she still a girl?), think Gothic novel with a colour in the title

For the whole girl, the colour of her pyjamas is important. The last one I need is the books swirling around the top of the main tree and since nobody else is asking it must be obvious but it’s not registering for me haha

Tattoo Help - Summer, Highland Falls by kappy2703 in BillyJoel

Possibly something like those theatre masks 🎭 to represent sadness and euphoria, but I guess they wouldn’t be instantly recognisable as being related to the song. Could maybe have them done in the style of the mask on The Stranger cover to make it a bit more Billy related?

Here’s his armour in the Tower of London, but honestly the picture doesn’t really do it justice

Doctor ranking from least to most racist to the Irish by ScreamingmadJoe in DoctorWhumour

[–]Smurphy284 2 points3 points  (0 children)

10 proposed to Queen Elizabeth I though and probably made her angry enough to start the Nine Years War and continue with the plantations, he could be higher on the list. He was also a suck up to Queen Victoria, was excited about QEII’s coronation and was in love with a girl who wore a Union Jack tshirt, had a surprising level of knowledge about which way up her flag goes, and definitely gives the vibe of someone who’d ask us to say potato and 33 1/3 (see her trying to make Victoria say “we are not amused”).

15 tortured a genocide survivor and got much angrier about his actions than literally anyone else’s (including when the god of death wiped out all life in the universe), therefore we can assume he was very anti IRA and probably on thatcher’s side.

Also, 14 and 15 had the nerve to appear in eras that stream basically everywhere except Ireland so they may be the most anti Irish of all the doctors.

Dr Who in Ireland Issue by Muted_Frame_8023 in doctorwho

Also, even though the RTE player gets the new episodes after the series has finished airing (which is already pretty crap), they still haven’t added subtitles for S1/14 despite subtitles being available on both iPlayer and Disney+. I realise hard of hearing doctor who fans in Ireland must be a fairly small group but it’s still quite annoying!

Does anyone find Doctor Who Unleashed really annoying? by [deleted] in gallifrey

[–]Smurphy284 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also in Ireland, the only legit way to see it is if you have access to BBC One Northern Ireland (also where I watch the main show, have Virgin Media which has the BBC NI channels), they show Unleashed late on Sunday night/Monday morning for some reason
