For a while at least the Leicestershire Constabulary destroyed sealed evidence bags full of shredded newspaper rather than cannabis. Then sold the actual cannabis to mid level dealers to sell on, then seized it from the people they sold it to, then repeated.

As for RPGs, D&D is too dominant. There's some great RPGs out there

We did a one-shot of "Honey Heist". You are a bear who wants to steal a rare prize from HoneyCon, and you have 2 stats: BEAR and CRIMINAL (though actually on just one continuum with 6 levels). You roll BEAR when you want to do bear stuff and CRIMINAL when you want to do criminal stuff:

quote:

When the plan fails and you run into difficulty, move one point from Criminal into Bear.
When the plan goes off without a hitch, move one point from Bear into Criminal.
You can voluntarily move one point from Bear to Criminalby doing a flashback scene in which you and the other bears plan out the heist over coffee and cigarrettes in the back room of a seedy bar.

If your criminal stat ever reaches 6, you are lured into a life of crime and betray the party.If your bear stat ever reaches 6, you flip out bear-style and lose it. Presumably to be picked up by animal control in half an hour or so


It was a lot of fun. Can recommend.

That sounds more like a Tokyo Joshi Pro thing? I don't really watch much joshi (Japanese women's wrestling) because there's only so many hours in the day & so many £ to spend on wrestling subscription services.

Dragon Gate is Japanese but it's style is more influenced by Mexican lucha libre and most of the wrestlers are pretty attractive guys so they have a strong following among women. This is a match from a show last month that was real dope for their tag team title though you probably want to skip to about 12 minutes in to get to the actual start unless you can speak Japanese to understand the prematch promo vid.

Anyway, watching wrestling is praxis so you should do that. Just not WWE because it's bad.

Right lots to get through today;

I hold that cats are unique among the animals, because most everything else is either divided into fully domesticated at humanity's hands, or remains pretty much fully wild. Cats are sort of to the side of this, there are obviously plenty of domestic cats, but as far as I know it didn't happen because anyone said "Yeah we're gonna tame this thing like we have with the goats and the dogs". Cats just kind of showed up one day at the outskirts of our early villages because our nascent food storage attractive a lot of vermin. This made them extremely useful to us so we were fine with that, and over time we got used to each other and developed emotional bonds as well. But there's still a very great deal of the wild in a cat, and the average (healthy) housecat would do just fine if all humans disappeared tomorrow. The relationship has evolved as we developed better ways to keep food safe, and now we just get cats because we like them, but they've never forgotten that this is (Contrary to what Churchill said) perhaps the most equal relationship humans have with any animal. We're so used to everything else deferring to us that a cat's readiness to set her own terms seems outlandishly stubborn and wilful, but in my experience with them it's just that they think we're okay, we think they're okay, it'd be cool to hang out - unchanged from 10,000 years ago.

The transphobia is very bad but that therapist is wild, holy poo poo. HOWEVER!!!

I am also advised that I should confess that I don't eat chocolate oranges, or chocolate at all, as part of my gritty smack battle to lose some effing weight. (She says, remembering Camrath's home made fudge guiltily)

Welcome to SA, our tran takeover plans are only strengthened. Also solidarity with chocolate non-eaters, in my case because they can provoke migraines (I take the risk sometimes anyway lmao).

Sorry to hear there are people without electricty at the moment, I hope they have backup generators so they can still game. That said, please explain to me how an RBMK reactor explodes, because I'd love to know.

What's wild to me about the vikings is that the ones who showed up earlier were cool and good and we had the Great Heathen Army and Jorvik and a lot of neat influences on language etc., but then the Normans arrived later and were the only group of migrants to this land that should actually have been told to gently caress off home to Normandy because they were poo poo and of everyone involved in 1066 the only outright bad side won. :smith:

e; Oh tabletop roleplaying owns and is cool and good, I think D&D has really taken off between Stranger Things and various podcasts (Critical Role, TAZ, etc.). Our group ostensibly plays weekly; we have managed I think four or five games so far this year :laffo: But also podcasts are super because you can listen while you do other shite, I know some folks listen at work if their job permits it (In the sense of not interfering, I'm not friends with cowards who care what their boss actually says :colbert:) and it's certainly wonderful (Another great McElroy podcast!*) to listen to stuff while playing a video game or whatever.

* Few things bring me as much joy as the sheer amount of love Griffin and Rachel have for each other and their son Henry. The level of adoration when they talk about each other melts this cold bitch's heart.

I presume they're mixing up Scandinavians with Saxons? The Romans brought a fuckload of Saxon auxiliaries into Britain in the 3rd and 4th centuries to try and keep control of the province while the western empire was going down the shitter. Left to their own devices most of the Saxons decided to take over the joint and invite a bunch of their mates over in the following couple centuries.
But Scandinavians were knocking around all over the place anyway because places like Norway are shitholes with no arable land, so there's a big incentive getting out and about.

Depends on how you qualify 'near'. The city centre is a 10 minute walk away where you've got options like Soup N' Sandwich (greasy spoon), Caffe Amoré (paninis) and Taste of Napoli (Italian). If that's too far away there's a Spoons called the Knights Templar just outside the back entrance of the station.

PS. Good luck, the weather is pure shite here right now.

Hart's Bakery is beneath the Temple Meads approach road (the taxi rank part) and is meant to be very good. Not tried it myself yet. Whatever you do don't be tempted by Bonaparte's on the station concourse!

My God, it's full of Horatios!






I play D&D with my two sons (7 and 9) and it rocks. We just finished the starter set adventure (same one they did in Adventure Zone) - they made friends with the wolves and sent them to attack the goblins, sidestepping the early hostage situation completely. And they insist in holding all their loot in common, which is reassuring to see.

Honestly I’d recommend it if you have kids who are siblings - competitive games can easily end up with someone in tears, so a curated experience is great.
