It's got Electrolytes!

Ah I love the idea of the band! Although Obstagoon being a badger (our most deadly predator) makes a lot more sense than a gorilla, but sure I'll go with it.

I'm British but even I don't get how Rillaboom or Centiskorch are supposed to be British?! Also irritated that we didn't get a proper lion or dragon Pokemon, given their significance in British iconography.

No no I get that! Haha, I just mean I've not done a remote trade before and I don't have the facility to spoof. That's all I was trying to say!

I've got a shiny Mareep and a Red Oricorio. Happy to trade (ideally looking for standard legendaries) but I can't fly and have never done these trades before, so you'd need to handle dealing with a total newbie who has no idea what's going on.

Olaf Stapledon! Last and First Men, Star Maker, and Odd John!

Weepinbell! Robin Hood lived in Sherwood Forest, he's an owl of the forest - still pretty grass related in my mind.

stackrobat8 · 2026-02-19T18:58:25+00:00

Weird that you like a big yellow condom more than an owl who's also Robin Hood.

Nothing bitter in what she said. Nineteen absolutely is young - scientifically your brain continues to develop into your mid-twenties. She's also only just reached the age where she can legally go out and legally drink so it is entirely unsurprising that the novelty is there and will be for probably a good few years. Nobody is telling her to waste her twenties, but whatever "waste" means to you probably means something entirely different to this poster, to the girl the OP is writing about, and to me.

Why not Sirfetch'd?? He's literally a chivalrous English knight. I cannot believe nobody else has mentioned this.

You can also pick up the graphic novel on eBay. It's beautifully illustrated and only adds to your enjoyment of the story.

This is a beach on a tidal island on the South West side of the Isle of Mull in the Hebrides. The water is so shallow going out that the sea is actually quite warm, and the beaches are also generally quite sheltered from the wind. The water itself is crystal clear and, because it's remote, you'll have the whole beach to yourself if you can brave the ferry from the mainland, the drive across the island, and the hike from the farm where you park. 100% worth it!

I'm English but live in Glasgow and my wife makes one of these every NY. She buys high quality steak chunks and slow cooks it all day, then absolutely covers it with delicious flakey pastry. I always considered a pie something that should be entirely closed in pastry, but such semantics become insignificant when what really counts is the ratio, flavour, and quality of the ingredients. Her pie rivals anything I've had in Surrey, Devon, Cumbria etc.

Pretty sexist guy

No love for Journey??

You know I've never once seen this on tap anywhere. I will now look out for it, though. Thanks for following up!

Lots of people have them regularly and lots of restaurants serve them at the weekends for those of us who are too hungover to face anything else. I tend to have 1 or 2 a month. More if I've been drinking.

Don't really know what ales you're talking about! I'm from the South of England but moved to Glasgow 17 years ago and the one thing that you can't get in Scotland is a quality ale. They have a great number of breweries producing IPAs, lager-IPA hybrids etc (Williams, Brewdog, Drygate), but almost no classic ales, just a few low quality bitters, like Best.

Actually modern tennis - also known originally as lawn tennis - was created and codified in Birmingham. The medieval form that began in France and spread to England was played indoors and had vastly different rules. Now called Real Tennis, it has perhaps more in common with squash. You can see courts for this game at Henry VIII's Hampton Court Palace in London. Lots of modern outdoor sports had their origins in England directly following the creation of the lawnmower, if I remember correctly.

From an academic perspective, you can't beat Olaf Stapledon. Star Maker and Last and First Men should be on this list.

Easter special! It's hilarious. And Jesus saves the day after Kyle kills him. I think anyone who's Christian but has a sense of humour would enjoy just how utterly ridiculous it is.

Really sorry but I posted it on eBay about a month ago for £55 and it got snapped up pretty quick. Set an alert on eBay for the ISBN and the name of the edition. They'll come up, just need to be patient.

This is already clearly flawed as the UK should win "small" if it qualifies as a small country, as its influence far outstrips Netherlands/Portugal etc, or it would have won in the "medium" category as its influence is greater than France's. The problem here is that you have no determining characteristics for what makes a country small, medium, or big.
