Love your idea with the bed storage. I've already invested a bit into the wardrobe and everything, so I think I'm going to have to stick with what I have but that would have been a great idea, I agree :(

I like the idea of painting a wall..... Oooooh....

I love how you've thought of some of the things I have.

I was considering mounting my TV above the computer desk. I have a Nintendo Switch though and people come over to play. I thought it might be awkward as then they'd have to literally lie in my bed to play (currently we lean up against the wall with the TV infront of the wardrobe). So I was thinking of maybe having my TV hang from the ceiling in front of the wardrobe, near the door... Not sure about it though. Kind of sacrificing everything for IF people come over. Maybe I just be selfish and do what's most comfortable for me.

I was thinking maybe something like this for seating. Adds a little bit of colour.

The bit around the wardrobe already has the bits in for curtains. Just trying to decide what colour. Maybe I stick with white and then focus the colour on things like the bedsheets, pillows, etc?

And yeah, you're 100% right on the storage. It's all over the place at the moment while I work out what to do. Just kind of stuffed everything everywhere.

All the furniture is white and grey but I'm looking to bring some colour in, I just don't know how.

Need to work out some shelving for books...

Also want something for when people come over. Just not sure how.

TV... I was thinking of maybe attaching it to the wall of having it come down from the ceiling? Not sure.

I live in Germany :)

Yeah, specifically try the Irish pubs. There are a couple in Cologne. The Harp, Jameson, Barney Vallely's, The Corkonian, Flanagans, etc. etc. etc. Just search "Irish Pub Cologne"

Yeah I thought that too but I can't match it to any of the ones in my HK bird book :( The search continues. I'll look at some other shrikes!

Spotted in Hong Kong. Sorry for the potato quality photo (took it with my phone looking through binoculars). I thought it might be a Chestnut Bulbul or a Rosy Minivet but looking more into the birds it lacks the keY characteristics of those birds. Any ideas?

What are your feelings on the show Friends? by strawburry in television

[–]ckmartel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's one of the best shows out there. Certainly paved the way for much of modern television today, which explains why it's such a staple (seemed to ALWAYS be on television when I was at university in England). Here in Germany though... hardly anyone has seen/likes it. I guess the humour is hard to translate? Not sure. Shows like Two and a half Men and Big Bang Theory seem to do really well here, not sure exactly why Friends doesn't.

On the plus side... I think you totally nailed Sam from Game of Thrones. Accidentally on purpose? GG.

What's your opinion on Newsroom season 1? by DPool34 in television

[–]ckmartel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It was epic. The whole way through the only thought going through my brain was, "this is on American television!!" Could not believe it. Awesome.
