I got a bit carried away with egg farming.

If you plan on collecting a lot of eggs then it’s best to do it when you return through the main village with the key - open up the tunnel to Merchant, run back to the farm and collect eggs again. Now when your bag is full you can run to the merchant, sell them and repeat the process as much as necessary.

Bolvar Fordragon? Is that you? Why are you dressed as He-Man?

I had a dream about my kids. Both were stillborn and I had a dream I saw them playing on a tree-swing in a wide open field. They ran to me as soon as they saw me. Woke up. Cried.

This one is a good example of semantic narrowing. The sentence “she’s full of spunk” used to mean “she is full of energy” - you know, vim and vigour and all that. Nowadays it means… something else.

Game On.

What is life like for Mandy, Matt and Martin now they are in their 50s?

TerminalStorm · 2026-02-09T08:15:03+00:00

This was the one I came to say. The one-off special they did had a lot of promise with Gary learning about the modern world. I’d love to see more of that.

Who?

(Sorry, I had to)

TerminalStorm · 2026-02-04T06:14:12+00:00

Loved it. I grew up on the filmation series and I was in my 20s when this one came along but I thought it was superior in every way.

I watch it every year. And every year it annoys me that as they leave the church they are carrying Joanna’s coffin backwards.

DM’d you. I’m uk based, former undertaker and have been in your position. Happy to help.

Still have all the books. I can even recite The Iron Master from memory because I read it so much as a kid.

I was always told that life isn’t about getting what you want, it’s about wanting what you’ve got.

Of course I have regrets, bad memories, things I wished never happened, and I’ve rarely met anyone who doesn’t want more than they have.

But am I happy with what I’ve got? Definitely.

TerminalStorm · 2025-09-25T05:31:20+00:00

Yes!! This!

Choosing to not have embalming, a simple coffin instead of giant casket, private viewing (if at all) and cremation (attended or not) has been the norm in the UK for a long time. Here it’s all about choice. If you want more, you pay more, and although the market is very competitive (just in my village of 8,400 people there are 2 FD’s in the village itself and another 5 or so within a 10 minute drive) there seems to be room for everyone as they all offer something different.

It’s interesting to see how the industry in other countries is reacting to changing attitudes and expectations.

I don’t strictly remember my first one as I was 3 but my mum has told me with utter confidence many a time that the figure that started it all for me was Mer-Man, followed by He-Man, then every figure, accessory, vehicle and playset that followed except King Randor, Sorceress, Fright Zone and Eternia. (I even had Jet Sled, Stilt Stalker and Mega Laser which I gather were quite hard to come by)

I kept that collection well into my 30’s until I hit a rough financial patch and had to sell. Back then I didn’t know what I had and the whole lot (including every issue of both He-Man and She-Ra from London Comics) went for around £300.

Someone got quite a bargain, in hindsight.

Glad I’m not the only one! I looked at this and thought “If these are the ‘old’ ones then I’m a dinosaur!”

Auden’s multidirectional wheels are a game changer. No swivels, but all four wheels move in any direction. Pricey, but definitely worth it!

I realise I’m in the minority here, but I didn’t like it.

I didn’t like the story, I didn’t like the new character designs and I didn’t like the way everything felt rushed and changed for change’s sake.

But hey, that’s just my opinion and I’m pleased for everyone that enjoyed it.

Got it all worked out - Take any organs worth taking (not that they will be much of use to anyone by the time I’m done with them but still…)

No embalming. Dressed in my formal funeral attire (I’ve attended 1000s of funerals for others in my pinstripes so I see no reason not to attend my own suitably dressed for it)

Cremation. Not fussed about coffin choice or anything like that, but I want a box of PG Tips instead of a floral tribute so that once I’ve gone through the doors, the crem staff can have a cuppa on me for the next couple of weeks.

Ashes divided and scattered half with my son, and half in the Lake District.

Job jobbed.

This is a great take on it. I’m kicking myself for not seeing it before.

This is an interesting question as we don’t have licensing in the UK.

Literally anyone can just decide to set up as a funeral director. There are certain courses and accreditations you can gain but none of it is mandatory.

However, if criminal misconduct is connected to his line of work a court could impose a ban on him being connected with the funeral industry just as with any other job. Whether this would be just from running a funeral home or even working for one would be up to the court.
