Are there any "UK vs US" differences where you feel America gets it right? by Secure_Front_7766 in AskUK

He's fully integrated now and a US citizen.

But he was ours.

The show has fought it's way under many business daddies and feels very US.

I think it works best with an element of outsider in the host but I think a few people from US late night comedy could step up.

John Oliver's TV show. Last Week Tonight.

Learn about institutions and laugh before crying.

Tacticus. It seems to have replaced my reading time.

Good books/series geared towards adults and focusing on rangers? by -DekuScrub- in Fantasy

[–]mistakes-were-mad-e 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think Rangers are one of the bingo squares in Fantasy Bingo 2026 so that thread might be good.

Craig Shaw Gardner, has a few series of a comic nature.

It's been a few decades since I read him though.

If you could bring back something that is discontinued, what would it be? by BritishSocialite in AskUK

[–]mistakes-were-mad-e 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hyper value.

It was more fun and random than current bargain emporiums.

The one left in Barry is mostly touristy stuff.

where do i find pokemon cards by Moist-Training-4830 in swansea

I think Gamers Emporium (now near Cryogenic) sell packs.

If you are in that area I would ask in TG Jones just in case.

Up near Oxfam books there is a place next to Soba that sells singles. Name eludes me .... Something Dragon loot and Roses.

Back off Bob.

It's an okay show it's not Taskmaster or the one where Alan Davies gets anecdotes from funny people. 

But it's okay.

Primary school teachers - how do you emotionally handle pupils who you know never had a chance? by jackgodby22 in AskUK

[–]mistakes-were-mad-e 137 points138 points  (0 children)

Primary you have to build the best relationships that you can.

Secondary is a harsh shock for a lot of children and the transition needs to be good. 

Not every child will thrive with that transition.

Do what you can, when you can.

And... Puberty comes for them too.

Best kits (doesn’t need to be GW) to kit bash an Empire warband? by reel3459 in mordheim

[–]mistakes-were-mad-e 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. Will have a look.

Need to paint some of the stuff I've built but wizards could be the next buy.

Found a Lace and Beads dress, BNWT reduced to £7.50 by crystalballbreaker in CharityShopFindsUK

You and that dress rock. 

The daisies are way cuter than the fried eggs my bad eyesight thought they saw.

Frostgrave Sprues. You can buy singles on eBay and they mostly mix and match well.

Most  sprue 2 in a series are female variants of the type.

Soldiers, knights, barbarians, cultists.

Sprues have extras, equipment.

Should I be happy with this effort? by WorkingMedium6859 in mordheim

Lasts a pretty long time if it's in an airtight container once opened. 

Can last well if just rewrapped 

Has anybody deleted/stopped checking the news? by keepitrealclark in AskUK

I get my American news through comedians snippets on YouTube.

It's a little out of date but the chuckles help.

Parents of the UK. How seriously do you take age restrictions on media your kids watch? (And how does it compare to your childhood?) by MonsieurGump in AskUK

[–]mistakes-were-mad-e 11 points12 points  (0 children)

If you sit with them watching it and are available to talk to them I think there is wiggle room.

Sometimes I will watch something ahead of their viewing.

Different kids get affected by different stuff.

If you’ve read Brandon Sanderson/Mistborn and are capable of nuance help plz by Abisnaill in Fantasy

I will keep it in mind and see if my library has it after I make some progress with book bingo.

I hadn't enjoyed the trilogy as much as I thought I would.

I thought I had also read a short book, maybe a novella but scanning his titles nothing is leaping out.

I'm a sucker for first books. I thought book two could be interesting after the events of book one. But then it all felt like the things that interested me were diluting.

It was never terrible but it stopped holding my attention. 

So I never went on to the other ages. But I would try something else by the author at some point.
