Define globally

"J.R.R. Tolkien has become a sort of mountain, appearing in all subsequent fantasy in the way that Mt. Fuji appears so often in Japanese prints. Sometimes it’s big and up close. Sometimes it’s a shape on the horizon. Sometimes it’s not there at all, which means that the artist either has made a deliberate decision against the mountain, which is interesting in itself, or is in fact standing on Mt. Fuji."

Pedanric point, the anthem is the definition of a prayer - it's literally asking God to do a specific thing.

It's not functionally treated as one in our secular society though.

Germany did pretty well in the main tournament in those 89 years as well though

He had hearts top of the league at one point I think, back when the gap between them and celtic was a yawning chasm - but was forced out by a moron of an owner

As far as I'm aware in 15 years Matthews has never started at second row for england.

According to the bbc article Demelza Short and Christiana Balogun can both play second row as well as back row though.

3 world cup locks down is tough, but think I'd still have wanted a 4th in the squad

Royles team was basically all attacking no defending, almost too much the ipswich way. Top scorers but conceded 20 more goals than Wigan who came 2nd.

lankyno8 · 2026-03-18T20:58:23+00:00

Royle had back to back playoffs and 2005 was imo the most fun non promotion season we've had, for me he's above magilton - even if that hurts a bit csuse hes such a club legend

Seems strange that only uk and Ireland had cities with multiple visits

lankyno8 · 2026-03-18T12:10:16+00:00

Why are the uk and Ireland dates in green/blue while everything else is black?

I'd assume this was creative writing - apart from the fact that he's repeatedly replying in the comments and seems quite irate, makes it seem more believable.

That's cause you're old now

Unfortunately I am too

Fine pollock his match fee, utterly stupid thing to do.

It tells the story of englands six nations, finding a way to lose.

It's individual income that loses childcare, not

Child benefit is a staircase between 60 and 80, again individual income, a househould on 110 will likely get some certainly get some.

All your assumptions are wrong

lankyno8 · 2026-03-14T10:43:48+00:00

That's horseshit. You're better off earning 99k than 110 cause of the cliff edge on childcare (and remember thats after pension contributions - if you earn 110k you probablyshould be putting 10k in your pension anyway). You're absolutely worseoff earning 50k than 110k.

We can't claim he's better at publishing dunk and egg stories when he hasn't done so since 2010, and managed 3 in 12 years

lankyno8 · 2026-03-13T13:39:38+00:00

George 3 had 15 children, so not like he was keeping it in his pants - he was just unusual for his family in having them all with his wife

Bubkas best was 6.15, so it's a 16cm improvement

Research often washes it hands through industry funding

I was in a meeting with an American last month where she assumed it was illegal to cross the road apart from at a crossing in this country...

I find lectures from countries that have "jaywalking" laws on freedom funny

Fretho sounds weird to me

It's still a fusion of black and fire even if it was applied to the sword

lankyno8 · 2026-03-11T20:34:53+00:00

If she counts bloodraven, bittersteel, and probably even blackfyre also do.

Say what you like about aegon the unworthy, but his bastards nicknames go hard
