No harm to the Captain, he did more for Covid personally than most of us did, and most of the politicians in charge of the loving thing.
£30 million raised for doing to what to him was an endurance thing.
Where the fuckers now tweeting out how great he was could give that with one signature.

Not even close. My 70s yo mother in NI hasn't heard poo poo about her getting it, some 80yo friends are saying they haven't been notified either.
Seems the west of NI is getting the usual leftovers from the east.

I really wish they'd do one of those Games Workshop hack and slash games where you get to be a champion of Chaos rather than an agent of the Empire/Imperium. C'mon, RPG customisation where you get to pick your god and become progressively more mutated would be rad as hell. Let me play as a Warrior of Slaanesh and obliterate an entire screenful of enemies in a tastefully-scented murder-orgy, or a Sorcerer of Tzeentch who turns the entire enemy army inside out and then makes them eat each other.

There are games like this yet to be made that are going to be brilliant. But not now.
The problem with making them right now is that its a hell of lot of complexity.
There is a reason why most game figures are human shaped, fat tall ones for Orcs, small for dwarves, thin for elves, etc, as its easy to make assets for them.
Adding in tentacles, third, forth, multiple limbs, horns, etc, explodes the work needed to make fiddly stuff for them like armor or animations.
Whereas you can basically just stretch or squish them for the usual lot of fantasy species.

Sorta related.
One of my current medications has a 'DO NOT USE WITH GRAPEFRUIT' on it.
And the reason I found mindblowing.
Never knew grapefruit can cause you to overdose yourself on accident, killing people every year.

poo poo sucks. I miss grapefruit, was maybe my favourite citrus fruit. I didn't have it open but it was a nice treat a few times a year.

It wasn't that I would have it these days, but as a kid I remember it being the best thing to have for breakfast or diet and it being everywhere.
Maybe it was my mother who would take it all the time.

Literally the only people who use it any more are newspapers but i think it means basically big mincing gays from the entertainment industry.

Except y'know, with deniability.

Was a term for narcissistic actors, thinking they were the best thing ever in theater and whole show revolved around them, usually by referencing other better actors.
And yeah, meaning changed over the years.
Similar as Diva, used to be an insult for annoying demanding opera singers and such, now almost a term of strength for being loud.

There's an extended royal family but since they're all off noncing or breaking international laws around arms dealing or slavery and things they're kept well out of the limelight.

Edward did the ultimate faux pas that you could do as a Royal, he did a charity thing with oiks that actually raised money instead of them spending the oiks money.
The poshes and media didn't like it, and he has been hiding ever since.

Okay, so this is weird but kind of harmless? I can't believe that this doofus is more disliked by his family than the creepy "none sweat" man.

There was a general air of him being the idiot of the family, not sure disliked is the right description. Andrew prob definitely has taken the disliked position nowadays.
Back then, before the divorces and such, doing anything other than shaking hands and asking people what they do was frowned on.
There was a kerfuffle about Diana 'breaking protocol' taking part in a school sports day run even. She was advised not to do it, but she went and did.

I mean fair play to Irish customs for 10x-ing their usual capacity, even if it meant like a 50% overall freight reduction it shows they were doing at least some prep over the last few years. But just lol at the implications for Britannia

It's not as bad as the US, but EU insurance based healthcare can still gently caress you over.

Was in hospital for 8 days total over June-Sept for a heart problem in Ireland here.
Bill was 12,000 euros.
Thankfully have insurance from work, but still, who can pay that off without having no major impact on their lives.

i like how the west belfast taxi association has the alternative public transport though, it's very efficient

Worst thing Ive seen there was when I was in a Translink bus on my way back home to the west of NI in late 90s, and the route just skirts the Falls Road area.
We come to a red light, with some ad boards and waste ground beside it. At the foot of the boards, sitting there, was three kids, about 10-12, huffing something from a bag.
The bus was packed, and everybody saw them. And they saw us, but were too out of it to even walk towards us. Absolute out of their minds.
One was giving us the fingers and was trying to get up but couldn't stand up, and then the light turned green.
