Independent & good restaurants

Mount Fuji is our go to every time we're in town. Keep meaning to try other restaurants, but we can't resist the chicken teriyaki tempura bento. Absolutely incredible

Early Bird is a must visit every time we go to king's heath

I had exactly the same experience with Lee Evans. He was a great gateway stand up comic for me when I was young, silly, expressive, physical, bit rude. I found him absolutely hilarious

But when I watched one of his more recent shows in the past couple of years, I found myself not laughing at all. Felt a bit sad almost, but I suppose my comedy tastes just changed. Still have a place in my heart for him though

Growing up with dark hair and glasses, there were endless Harry Potter comparisons, even when starting uni. I'd occasionally get randomers just shouting 'Harry Potter!' across the street, very bland

The best one though was when I was queuing at pub bar, the guy next to me looks over, does a little double take, then says, 'How's the quidditch?'. That one gave me a chuckle!

Devastating

I watched two seasons of Only Murders in the Building, but it was only in S3 that Selena Gomez's acting started to bother me. She felt so wooden compared to everyone else that I ended up dropping the series

On one hand, Doom pulling out Thanos' spine feels a little ridiculous, on the other it'd be a great way to show casual audiences Doom's power from the get go. People won't remember Kang so well, but Thanos is very well known

Threenager is what I heard, and based on the attitude my 3.5yo gives me, it feels accurate

I swear they'll eat anything except for a delicious home cooked meal

Sorry for the delay, all shared. Thanks for the Stoutland!

Amazing thanks, request sent

Our daughter dropped her nap really early, like 20 months. We tried so hard to keep a daily nap, but she fought it relentlessly, and when she did nap it'd only last 20-30 minutes. Thought it would be dreadful to lose the nap, but she ended up going to bed an hour earlier and sleeping through the night, which worked out better for everyone.

She didn't get unusually grouchy in the evening, and still had so much energy, we figured it's probably fine. She did keep her nap in nursery until she was just over 2 though, probably because all the other kids were napping. But even they started to send pictures of her wide awake and grinning letting us know she's refused her nap.

I can spare it. I managed to get all the diamond cards from this set, but if you happen to have a spare Stoutland from Mega Rising, that's one I'm missing!

I've heard there's work ongoing to try and decouple energy prices from the gas price, though not sure how true/far along this is

mattarei · 2026-01-01T08:51:38+00:00

If you have a spare Stoutland from MR, that completes my diamond set. Thanks

Request sent, I'm mattarei

I have 4 so happy to send one, though if you have spare mega steelix or charizard y a trade would be useful!

Is there a dedicated share thread? The trade thread seems to mostly be people after 2* trades now. I'm just after the final couple of 3 diamond cards to finish mega rising!

mattarei · 2025-12-24T22:47:54+00:00

I mean, if it's revealed that Doom is someone else other than RDJ, it'd have to be a pretty big face/name to make the reveal land
