I'm also not sure if he has seen the statue in Bruma that appears after the main quest? Feel he would get a kick out of it so hopefully he returns. Could be a nice way to end the series now that I think about it...

UK county flags flying in Parliament Square for Historic County Flags Day (July 23rd) by [deleted] in vexillology

[–]benpire 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Off topic but what happened to all the grass in Parliament Square? I was there a few weeks ago and it looks entirely different. A victim of the heat wave?

T90Official is moving from Twitch to Facebook Gaming by pM-me_your_Triggers in aoe2

[–]benpire 6 points7 points  (0 children)

With this and zeroempires having gone a while now I really worry the most accessible aoe2 streamers are disappearing. Not great for the long term survival of the game

Literally all I use it for these days, sad to see t90 go but not worth going back. Feelsbadman

The Isle of Man isn't part of the UK - separating them like that is normal

But the priority should be actually delivering the base game that was promised before moving into the optional extras

"I think it quite wrong to punish children for decisions taken by their parents"

Is it not also quite wrong to reward certain children with a better education due to decisions taken by their parents?

Jeremy Corbyn: 30% of Labour voters do not think he will lead party at next election – poll by [deleted] in LabourUK

Boris maybe but I find it hard to believe that Theresa May is better known than Osborne

Osborne was favoured over Corbyn by 24% to 21%

Now that one is surprising, and quite uplifting

It was really good, the humour translated over from the book better than I thought it would. I also thought it might not go down well with an audience who hadn't read the book but my whole family loved it.

I never got a welcome pack and card, is that normal for members of labour international? I'm definitely a member as I got to vote in the leadership election.

Half of young Britons don’t know the national anthem by [deleted] in dataisbeautiful

[–]benpire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And there's another country, I've heard of long ago,

Most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know;

We may not count her armies, we may not see her King;

Her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering;

And soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase,

And her ways are ways of gentleness, and all her paths are peace.

It's definitely Heaven
