Well fuck. What a guy. Timeless level design - a name that has gone down in history for all the right reasons.

I’ve just finished Book One - it was decent.

Standout moment was the in-dungeon description of Mana Toast. Top lols.

I had a Rover 25 and it’s one of the best cars I’ve ever driven, in it’s most literal sense.

The input was so direct, the car was so responsive, and the car did whatever you told it to do even if most modern software would have smoothed out steering or pedal inputs.

For the Linux fans amongst us, it was like driving but everything you did was prefaced with sudo .

Unfortunately, it died due to a common head gasket issue, but that was one of the purest driving experiences I’ve ever had.

That is beautiful. Gives me Beneath A Steel Sky vibes.

Why aren’t you?

Nah seriously, horses for courses. I love a lie in, but then I enjoy making the most of a city I’ll probably never see again. So long as people head home enriched and happier, it’s a good holiday.

Champagne is one of the few drinks that generally fucks me.

I can have nine or ten pints in a night and feel rubbish but function the following day. I can have a bottle or two of sparkling wine and feel like shit for the following morning, but still function.

Two glasses of champers and I am literally doubled over with a bastard of a hangover the following day.

you can’t park there mate

Ah yes, I remember you from earlier in the week! How are you doing?

The end of relationships suuuuck. Everyone deals with it differently. Whatever you’re feeling is valid, but there’s a time to recognise negativity and use it to focus on bettering yourself.

You can do this. The pain will get less intense every day.

Fingers crossed for you sista!

cis white male here (boooo hisssss) but honestly I’ve done twelves for the last twenty odd years and I’m really starting to like them now.

I know persistent twelves are very much a British shift pattern but I love being able to come off a 12hr night and take my kids to school, or do a 12hr day and still come home to an evening of wine and shit TV.

Granted, shift work has proven to be… lesser spectacular for one’s health but whenever I go on a 9-5 course, I get to 4pm and start fancying lunch and I’m like “omg I’m nearly done yaaaasss”

Horses for courses. Either way, I hope you find enough time to rest well and be kind to yourself!

More importantly, drams of what?

they have played us for absolute fools

At least as tall as a traffic cone I’d say.

I mean … aside from the expenses and extra retention payments, the troopers effectively get the same salary as equivalent rank/service counterparts in the tri-service pay bands. The top ups are nice but aren’t game changing money.

It’s hard not to see the financial draw from private enterprises such as these. Especially if it’s “money for old rope” when it comes to cascade training, and it’s entry level people they’re instructing.

It’s not like it’s a new trend either. For as long as the UK has had a decent reputation for doing something - armed forces, aviation, counterintelligence etc… there’s always been folk out selling their training to anyone with money, be they “friendly” states or otherwise.

If they’re not really interested it going back to the UK… there’s not much that can be really done about it if the nation where they’re training folk isn’t interested either.

I know I’m missing the point here but that sounds like three man-made ecological disasters right there 🙁

I’ve still got this sitting on my shelf on the 360.

I’m a big Ridge fan but I could never get this game - it’s not bad by any means but it never grabbed me like RR6 did. The change of stylistic direction certainly is something.

The soundtrack is a fucking banger though.

Mr bin Sunglasses seems to read the room before taking in all the pertinent information, looks at the best decision he can make, and thinks to himself “…nah fuck that” and picks the worst possible answer to most situations.

It’s almost a skill.

A vocalisation of the Family Fortunes incorrect answer noise is my reply of choice.

Probably for the same reason that Kiribati has them.

GPS spoofers, and fake nominations.

TrainerTips did a great video on the island and a good waste of fifty minutes of your time. It’s worth noting that Kiribati has the advantage of proximity to the international date line, where Epstein Island doesn’t.

Quality language, da iawn.
