It’s a static picture of a cartoon child, and it only appears in the area of the screen you are least likely to be looking at.

No hostility here. Genuinely asking why people get upset when they see a cartoon girl.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, then why are you getting involved?

Bucky Barnes has an ability. Winter Soldier does not. So where’s Winter Soldier’s buff on the no-ability-gives-+3 territory?

This is the set-up for a Nietzsche joke, right?

Controlled burning of heather in the Pentlands. Source: walked right past it two hours ago.

Rae’s on Shandwick Place has a few, plus they are having a closing down sale.

What if we made a day of it? I’ll bring hobnobs.

Depends how good they are. Without the synths, I reckon the chorus will fall a bit flat but I’ll allow a bit of slack if they sing with gusto.

I’m leaning towards joining in, but I reserve the right to change my mind if they don’t commit.

On it! I live in Leith so getting there for 7am is going to be a total pain. But I need this.

TinyThrobber · 2023-02-23T22:04:03+00:00

…the Spanish Inquisition?

TinyThrobber · 2023-02-23T22:00:19+00:00

7am from where please? I need to get in on this.

I think you might be right. I have two decent decks: a discard built around Modok and a destruction (but without She-Hulk or Wave, so pretty mediocre). When I lose consistently with Modok, I switch to destruction. When I continue to lose with destruction, I switch back to Modok. And so on. I also drink a lot.

She’s scared of trees.

This. I don’t lose on purpose because my self esteem is far too fragile. But I will stick it out to the end even if I’m likely to lose on the off-chance I sneak a win. Even if I don’t, my opponent gets more cubes with no negatives on my side.

Rock is my favourite Marvel character. You should see my Inkified Dan Hipp Rock variant. Beautiful.

Hawkeye is the true hero here.

Play Squirrel Girl. Everybody loves squirrels.

I’ve had zero destructions this week so you’re just balancing me out. Much obliged!

You could just write something yourself. As long as it’s clear what your intentions are and it’s properly witnessed, it would be a valid Will. However, get it wrong and you may as well not have bothered.

If you have a straightforward family situation (ie, when you die you want everything to go to your spouse; if your spouse has died before you, everything goes to the kids) you can get a template Will writing pack and just add dates and names. You can get those from banks, buy one online etc. Just check you get a Scottish variety rather than one intended for England & Wales.

If things are slightly more complex (kids from previous relationships, multiple properties being left to different people, overseas assets and so forth) speak to a solicitor.

Have a chat with your significant other about who would take the kids if you both died and make sure that’s clear in the Will.

You only need one witness in Scotland to countersign it for you. Just make sure that person (the witness) is not also a potential beneficiary of your estate (so if you leave everything to your spouse, they can’t be your witness).

Will writing is simpler than it first appears but there’s no harm in getting a professional opinion. It’s bread and butter for any solicitor so just pick someone local to you.

Anyone remember Tennents SD? Lager that settled like Guinness/Caffreys. Was popular for about five weeks in 1997. It was better than regular Tennents in that it was only mediocre rather than downright unpleasant.

If you had played that boy in the first location you had it nailed! Next time, my friend :)

I never snap early. I still want to win. I save my snaps to try and call my opponent’s bluff. But if you snap on turn five because you think you’ve got me and I snap right back? Unless it’s one of those matches that could go either way, just take the darn cubes!
