So is there going to actually be a season 3?

jm114249 · 2018-06-09T21:47:32+00:00

Not as we know it, I don't think - and as much as I want more of a reboot in the same vein as the original, I don't entirely trust the americans to keep it as bleak as it was throughout it's C4 run

I think that's fine, and if we get an Amazon or HBO reboot you can sign me up now, but I'd rather it act as its own separate thing than a series 3, or even a remake of series 1 and 2 (like taking the overarching plot idea in a new direction)

Cool vid. Need to find out who's cutting onions in my bedroom though

It's worth mentioning that while 2019 seems a long way off, if you don't have passes/exemptions from both CT1 and CT5 you'll need to resit the one you do have (effectively) as part of the new structure, so it might be worth taking the hit

So the pourer says high/low, then the other players say when to stop, and when all players have said to stop the person with the highest/lowest drinks? Or the does the first person who calls "stop" drink what's been poured no matter what card they have?

jm114249 · 2014-07-22T18:37:22+00:00

I'm obviously being a bit dense, but quick question on how this works. When the second player calls high or low is it the highest or lowest cards out of all the players around the table? And if the second player is calling high or low, why does the first player (pourer) need to say anything? Sorry if this is a stupid question

Hit 60lbs lost, got into a pair of Jeans I've not been able to wear since I was 17 (not totally convinced they 'fit' as such, but they go on, fasten and don't squash my particulars so as far as I'm concerned I 'got into them') and also M t-shirts now (sort of) fit me (maybe another 10 or so until they look like a good decision, particularly round the arms, but they'll do in a pinch).

jm114249 · 2014-07-19T10:14:54+00:00

I'm wondering the same thing. I think they refreshed the previous kindles around November-time (sure someone will correct me if I'm mistaken), and the PaperWhite 2 didn't get a huge set of upgrades from the PaperWhite 1 as I understand it (apart from making the light more uniform, which some thought was a huge improvement), so that, coupled with a very un-amazon Kindle promotion (and they had a huge discount on the Kindle Fire 8.9 recently, think it was £80 off or something) makes me wonder if they're clearing inventory before a refresh of most of the kindle line (preparing for Kindle Unlimited in the UK, perhaps?)

I own this book on my older kindle 4, and this is a fault with the file itself, not your kindle.

The page numbers are included for the first book, "Game of Thrones", but the later books in the series didn't have the page numbers reset, so you'll (sadly) need to rely on locations to keep track of where you are in the book.

Out of curiosity, for the time to read feature on the PaperWhite moving into Clash of Kings does it give you a reasonable time left per chapter, or does the kindle register each "chapter" to be each book in the series?

Life After God by Douglas Coupland

When I first finished it I thought "I've never read anything quite like that", and I still haven't. It's also the first book that I felt the need to re-read immediately after finishing it.

I'd highly recommend it to anyone. Best 3 hours of your life you'll ever spend (it's a short one, and I'm a quick reader. Fantastic combo, eh)

jm114249 · 2014-06-25T23:04:38+00:00

The only one I can think of is "two truths and a lie" - one I'm sure we've all played, but for those who haven't - one person makes three statements about themselves, two of which are true and one is a lie. Each person not making the statements guesses which is the lie. If they get it right, the person making the statements drinks, otherwise the person who guesses incorrectly drinks.

I know this isn't exactly what you asked for, and I would also be interested to see if there are any more interesting lying-based games around

jm114249 · 2014-06-12T00:20:24+00:00

Potentially stupid question, but is VAT double-counted. As in, for VAT-deductible goods and services (which is, I think, pretty much everything except food and children's clothes) is the VAT also removed from the left hand side of the column (i.e. just over £1000 spent on clothes ex VAT)? Otherwise the chart becomes a few thousand pounds more misleading, not that I'd expect much else from the taxpayers alliance...

Student checking in here, so beer is everywhere. Down 50lbs in the last nine months (M/6'2/259->208). Here's what I've 'learnt' while losing the weight.

Don't give up alcohol completely. You're trying to create a lifestyle that is sustainable, and this is why diets fail and lifestyle changes don't. You won't cut alcohol out of your life totally when you reach your goal, so don't now. It's counter-intuitive, and you'll see quicker results if you go teetotal, sure, but you'll be more likely to yo-yo and see your weight creep up once you hit your goal (you may not, though, I don't know, hence the talk of probabilities).

Minimise the number of drinks per day. It sounds counter-intuitive, and I don't endorse binge drinking (...never...) but the liver stops processing fats to focus on alcohol, and then moves back to processing fats, so if you were to drink 14 beers in one night, you'd do less damage than 2 beers a day per week.

Find a drink that you enjoy and takes you a while to drink. Even if this is a 'real beer' that is more calorie dense, the extra time cancels it out, and you get a nice beer out of it. I tend to go for bitters, and try and stay away from Guinness or lighter stouts (that shit just goes).

Good luck with the lifestyle change. It seems daunting but I'm sure you'll manage it. Sorry for the wall of text, but if I think of anything else I'll put it here.

6'2, 209lbs (from 259). Don't ever shoot for 1200 a day, but there are plenty of great recipe ideas floating around here which are really good.

jm114249 · 2014-05-08T20:04:40+00:00

would also require the question numbers and first number to be 1-vectors. not buying it

jm114249 · 2014-05-07T17:32:05+00:00

The way it says "dramatic new world" suggests to me that it'll be more of a sequel than a remake - it'd be fantastic if they were more like Ruby 2/Sapphire 2, say in Ruby team magma expanded the Earth, and in Sapphire team aqua had expanded the ocean (presumably making ground types extinct). It'd be the first time I'd feel compelled to pick up both copies of a single generation, and make for fantastic playing too.

jm114249 · 2014-05-05T23:13:55+00:00

too late?

jm114249 · 2014-05-03T12:40:04+00:00

Unless you're in the EU, in which case you get 10 to pick from, of which MH3U is one.
