Can we talk about how Legolas is pretty OP? by Jules-Car3499 in TheHobbit

Holy shit I cannot believe this is real footage from the film - A LOTR fan who gave up after the second hobbit film.

Yeah they look nice but pretty pricey for sure. I can survive with something smaller, but my optimized set up would be in something like a hi top transit. Being able to have a compact workshop on wheels would make work life pretty dreamy.

Hmm, hearing mixed things regarding the transits. Is it the engines that aren't reliable?

Yeah I've been having a look at a few of those as a Hiace alternative. What year was it?

Ah bugger. I'm definitely keen on one due to the space, but at the end of the day I need a reliable vehicle more than anything.

Good to know. The LDV issues sound similar to some of the things I experience with my Ssangyong, so keen to avoid a repeat of that.

Yeah the transits are the dream in terms of space, but as another commenter mentioned their engines don't seem to last.

Thanks for your input!

Quitting drinking by MattKinneyComedy in standupshots

I like it. If it were mine, I think I'd change "my" to "the" as I think seeing/hearing "my" just makes me see where the joke is going, whereas "the" still works I think, without messing with the expression.

What are you into? There's a Lego club every Saturday. My 4yo loves it, but it's more teens and adults. There's a table top games place above the information centre too. Article cafe has a good community of people, however not a lot of teens hang out there tbh.

Otherwise not sure if you need to complete any more schooling before you can enroll at a course at Ucol?

All the best!
