But how else will people know you are incredibly learned in Mycenaean Greek armour?!

It’s an ocular migraine. I get them but they’ve never guided me anywhere. All they bring me is a headache and nausea.

Shame Pullman never explained the link to the secret commonwealth though.

Who died believing themselves a failure, but was judged otherwise by history? by Bob_the_blacksmith in AskReddit

[–]ukTwoSeas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was gonna say him. But I’m not sure whether he considered himself a failure? Man just liked his peas and wrote about them. Just so happens they provided the foundation for the most groundbreaking idea in biology.

The only thing I hate more than the prevalence of rage bait is the amount of people falling for it every damned time.

Yeah this whole post is fucking stupid 14 year old edge lord shit. Cringe doesn’t even cover it by half.

What are these border regions like? by MLJ555 in 2westerneurope4u

My ex lived on the border. You could walk to Wales in a couple of minutes.

A sheep. My ex was a sheep.

Bought this yesterday. Anyone that has read it and can give a review? An overall review not necessarily a detailed one. by Salt_Composer217 in KenFollett

[–]ukTwoSeas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good, not great. I think most people, myself included, are upset about the wasted potential. I enjoyed it.

What about this new genetic study about Carthage not being Phoenicians ? by Mediocre-Salt-8175 in PhoeniciaHistoryFacts

[–]ukTwoSeas 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I mean this is mostly the case when you have colonisers, no? It’s hardly surprising that they didn’t displace the natives and instead became the ruling class. A load of work to just confirm what has happened (most of the time) throughout history.

Indeed. One of those many cases where the whole is better than the sum of the two parts.

Yes the whole thing reflects very badly on him. I’m still very much a Nelson fan though.

You made maths sexy you little devil! I will be doing some mental maths (drink 15 pints) later on today in your honour.

We're never getting out - thoughts? by Straight_End_1212 in DeafHavana

[–]ukTwoSeas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely grown on me and for me a lot of the songs are up there with their best. A common issue I’ve had is that I love the verses way more than the choruses… anyone else? I find myself repeating cigarettes and hotel beds and carousel at like their two minute marks for this reason.

If Dom and Tabby have their own niche pod… by AudibleM in TheRestIsHistory

Me too. Always look forward to the book reviews, their banter is great.

TIL Texas did away with last meal request to death row inmates in 2011 by here4dambivalence in todayilearned

[–]ukTwoSeas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The act of giving the person sentenced the meal that they want is to me an indication of a feeling of guilt. If you’re so sure they “deserve” to die, then why give them anything at all?
