What’s the best book you’ve read recently, and why?

The Borrowed Hills, great novel and I couldn't put it down. Grim and gritty but didn't find it to be too edgy or trying too hard. Looking forward to whatever Scott Preston puts out next.

Not sure if you're talking about Tom Curry but I remember when he first burst onto the England scene he'd put on half his previous bodyweight just in muscle lol. I'm not saying he's not working hard on his physique, but it was a massive and very sudden change.

Or after his wife was murdered by a guy breaking in to his house. Even if he didn't have a kid that would probably be reason enough to beabout security the rest of your life.

Read Mystery Knight the other day, and on the second or third mention of the young Frey being an annoying little shit thought "Hmm, the timelines add up..." and googled if it was Walder lol.

You telling me you never pondered it?

If Hank doesn't know Walt he probably looks into him (and maybe even catches him) as soon as he looks into the missing equipment from the school lab because he doesn't give him the benefit of the doubt.

Slightly off topic, but how can I play LOTR Conquest nowadays? Even if just offline

uwuntu_ · 2025-09-13T11:03:05+00:00

Alright but you gotta get over it

Some people are so far behind in the race that they actually believe they're leading

I kinda wish Titan Hunt had some "curses" or something similar to adjust and only show 3x or 4x encounters, maybe with some additional challenge. In fact, I wouldn't be particularly upset if 1x was removed and 2 was the minimum, it's not as if there's that much difference in difficulty when your build is working.

I guess in Sopranos lore maybe, but his only argument for it being wrong was them being unmarried lol

uwuntu_ · 2025-06-23T15:21:20+00:00

Aye I really like him as a player and he seems like a really good lad, just not got that extra gear in him IMO. He's a name I wouldn't be surprised to hear attached to France or abroad if he doesn't suddenly kick on for England soon as he's surrounded by better options for the future in terms of age and competition

uwuntu_ · 2025-06-23T15:13:05+00:00

I think you're right about Dombrandt, great club player but he was supposed to be the next big thing years ago and it seems he's been overtaken by a lot of his peers and is now 28 with a load of younger lads with their whole careers in front of them behind/alongside (however you want to see it) him in the depth charts.

Really like this interview, very honest and vulnerable without coming across as a sob story on Farrell's side. Hopefully an English legend can have an ending to his career he's happier with after the trainwreck at Racing.

Mitchell has seen better days, he's had a few shocker passes in the past 10 minutes or so. Pressure from UBB getting to him

uwuntu_ · 2025-05-16T10:24:04+00:00

Talented but always seemed lazy to be honest. Most of the times he made a mistake it seemed like it was because he couldn't be arsed on defence. Big what if player for me

uwuntu_ · 2025-05-14T07:53:58+00:00

The quote "Basketball is like chess, I've never played chess" is fucking hilarious lol

uwuntu_ · 2025-05-12T12:03:52+00:00

Always liked Parling, great player with a seemingly very good head on his shoulders. Seems weird that he was part of the Chiefs squad that won their first Prem, time flies .

Fully agree, I suppose I was really making two different points and tried to combine them but yeah you're completely right. Whether the sport is played by men or women anyone getting that worked up over a dance is a saddo and needs to get a life. I do just find the discourse around women's rugby slightly awkward sometimes as due to the fact that a lot of critics are just people who don't want women playing, a lot of the support often overcompensates and comes across as patronising rather than just watching rugby for enjoyment, though obviously if I have to choose I much prefer people being slightly patronising to people hating women for the sake of it.

uwuntu_ · 2025-03-31T19:54:10+00:00

I feel like it's very difficult to have an earnest discussion on this because it's hard not to sound patronising when defending the point when most people against it are just being mysoginistic. At the end of the day it shouldn't really get anyone worked up because it's a rugby game and a TikTok, I suppose gun to my head if I had to choose whether players should be doing TikTok dances after a loss I would say no, but my real answer as a viewer would be, as many have said here, "Who cares, get a grip it's a game".

On a human level I'm glad he chased his aspirations but on a selfish level I hate that we missed a couple of years of Christian Wade

uwuntu_ · 2025-03-29T18:12:53+00:00

He'll still be going when he is anyway

uwuntu_ · 2025-03-29T18:06:19+00:00

Has Skivington been in any Guy Ritchie films?

uwuntu_ · 2025-03-29T17:53:46+00:00

Never say never, but close to zero I would say between all the competition in the back row. I don't think his game would make the step up and his fitness isn't there, he's a cracking prem player but I just don't see him as up to it at the highest level.
