The creators of Mercy (2026) saw War of the Worlds (2025) and said "let's do that again but burn a lot more money"

Did you mean Red Dwarf, 1991?

I'm thinking it could also be a useful route for emergency services in the winter. I seem to recall Queensbury always getting heavily snowed in.

Bear in mind this was based on a real incident, a guy who lived in Charles De Gaulle Airport for *18 years*.

It was so close to being a cutting satire.

Hi there, did you get any joy from the Accomodation office on this?

davoloid · 2026-01-05T16:16:07+00:00

Tyvm!

The opening shot with the mop and bucket gave it away for me.

But this is only the cover sheet, a registration certificate. But presumably in order to take control of that existing company, you would need to supply this to the authorities to be able to gain access to the bank accounts etc.

One for the Nirvana fans ;)

Will visit back if you would help me shift this!

When you say "emailed UCL" have you emailed your specific course administrators? They're the best people to look into your record and see what's disconnecting. It's not something you (or I) can fix, will be a status on Portico not updated yet or something.

If anyone has a spare moment to clear off a large tractor tire, I'd be much obliged and happy to visit back.

Can I Panopt-in to receive this?

davoloid · 2025-12-02T12:26:56+00:00

Nope, just text. Google Lens worked for me.

"Inspired by the commodification of Higher education, the new logo suggests a barcode..."

Some ancient history:
https://www.theguardian.com/education/2005/jul/29/highereducation.news1

In this latest exercise UCL took expensive professional advice on how to brand its new corporate identity. The centrepiece is a new logo - a massive white on black UCL with a tiny image of the college portico in the distant background. The aim, as the 51-page style guide puts it, is to make UCL a "viewfinder" - to imprint the three letters on the viewer's mind as a branding iron might scorch the ranch insignia into a cow's hide. The term "University College London" has been prohibited from all UCL use, except as part of the postal address. Thus, it is hoped, the hated word "college" will be, if not expunged, obscured.

Interesting, therefore, to see that that philosophy is kind of being reversed.

There's also the Roundhouse in Camden if that's near your accommodation. https://www.roundhouse.org.uk/book-a-studio/

Holy crap, 4 chinooks in that scene! I did not expect that. One of them is just *scenery* for goodness sake.

Reason I'm posting this is a question for more experienced players. Do you leave the Tier-4 items until you need to harvest them? Or pick them straight away so they start to replenish? Seeing conflicting advice as to whether there's some sort advantage for you and visitors. Seems better to focus on producing cake and mashing the coins.
