Firstly, omg what a fucking show. I loved it. I grew up in Ed and I loved hearing all the accents and voices again. Matt Goode is superb, as is the whole cast, but Akram and Alexej deserve a special mention. Not an easy character at all to play but he does it so well, and that final scene with >!Lyle. That little knife flip and throw was absolutely dirty, just loved that he took him out with no hesitation at all.!<

Also, >!we see the massive blood streak from Lyle dragging Sam to the cliff, are we meant to believe that that was completely missed by the police, surely that points to foul play?!<

I struggle to focus on tv shows and get distracted easily but i was riveted by this one. Cannae wait fer season 2.

Two of the best fighters in their class of their respective generation, from the same fricking country, careers have crossed over for 13 years, and for 19 months of that time, they were both world champs.

AJ vs. Wilder was the biggest potential fight in the world at one point, and that never happened. AJ Fury could have easily been the biggest British fight of all time, but at one point it was going to be in Saudi, and then the US? Like as you actually kidding.

And even now, after the pot has long gone off the boil, when neither holds any belt, we STILL can't get them in the ring together. So many fights have gone this way, Khan Brook, Calzaghe RJJ, Mayweather Pac, but at least they eventually fought each other, even if it was way too late.

Its just nuts to me that at no point have they managed to work it out, its actually embarrassing. No, Fury would rather fight randomers in Thailand and cruiserweights no-ones ever heard of. Im sure AJ isnt being completely chill either but Fury is the one who goes on about being willing to fight anyone anytime, big words for a man with about 4 actual fights on his resume.

Compare that to Usyk, who allegedly agreed to a 70/30 split with Fury despite holding 3 of the 4 belts, and even then Fury found a reason to say no.

Just a fuckin' clown sport, man, im tired of it, and im tired of these promoters and fighters acting like they re down to their last fiver. Fuck the fans, right?

*licks teeth over vox excitedly

The dude decided he liked hunting down and killing daemons, and Khorne loved him so much he has essentially, as others have said, created the Ork version of Valhalla for Tuska to fight eternally beside his boyz, an Ork paradise.

Has any kther character or individual, relative to their goals, achieved a better ending?

Just discovered that I apparently CAN get mods on steamdeck without a computer science degree a v excited to spruce up one of my fav games, any recs much appreciated.

You go to rural Lincolnshire, especially the South of the county, and it is about as bleak as you can get. Just endless cabbage fields and the odd house. And these houses are often for sale. Who is buying them? A random house on a 50mph road in the middle of nowhere. I ll tell you who. Witness protection programmes. I think the police and other agencies from around the world send their CIs to live in Lincolnshire. Who else needs to live such a monotonous, remote place? I bet in the pub everyone is gingerly asking about each other's backgrounds and when you get 5+ years back it all gets very vague. I think everyone who lives there is either a farmer or a farmer who 5 years ago was in organised crime.

Because 'great teams just manage themselves', right?

Having played club cricket in England for a few seasons now (at a v low level) this is one of my biggest bugbears with the game. Everyone playing knows the rule (or should) and it is always blindingly obvious when a plum LBW isnt given. Equally, if you are umpiring and give a plum decision because, yknow, thats the rule, your team mates sometimes get super arsey with you.

I had this yesterday, was umpiring, teammate was stone dead, so i gave it, having already turned down one very close call, and there was no reason i could see why he wasnt out. When i came off to pad up, half my team was giving me the eye. An older player who was scoring bluntly said to me 'lets see how many LBs they gave us, ooh none, why did you give it?'.

Earlier this season a clubmate was denied a hattrick from a rejected LB call. After the game the player who was umpiring came up to him and said 'i actually thought it was out but i didnt give it because the batter is my captain and i was worried he wouldnt pick me for next week.' In what world does that make sense?

It is just such an abused rule in that teams can just not give their mates out and theres nothing you can do, especially if they have lost early wickets or its a close game.

I think, if there is no independent umpire, a successful LBW call should result in a run penalty of 5 or 10 runs, or perhaps if there are two of them in an over or something. Not that that would get rid of all drama, but hopefully it would lessen the ridiculous 'damned if you do, damned if you dont' situation that we have now. Im sure people will be v quick to tell me why this wouldnt work, but right now i dont think the LBW rule works at a low, self-officiating level, and is massively prone to abuse.

This is a take on the zombie apocalypse genre, except the virus is an alien intelligence from outer space that manifests as metallic spines and growths. Sufferers are amalgamated into an apparent hive mind of sorts. Baker teases details and facts about the virus, but we know very little.

The books are a mixture of claustrophobic, body, and action horror. The first and third (Outpost and Terminus) are my favourites, taking place on an oil rig and the NYC subway respectively. Each book features completely new characters and ends in an open manner, with the protagonists ultimate fates unclear. Each book is close set and anxiety-inducing, and sometimes the only thing keeping the characters going in truly nightmarish scenarios is the animal will to survive.

Baker writes in a staccato, quickfire manner, not skimping on the gory details and showing some of the best body horror i ve seen. The characters are often pretty irredeemable humans to start with, which makes the stories more compelling and interesting to me.

He has also written two great books set in feudal Japan which are well worth a read.

So yeah, Adam Baker. Check him out.

Even with titanium there can be trace nickel elements.

Seriously, what is the use? They re 'lightweight and more scratch-resistant'

How weak are you that you need a lighter watch? The difference cant be more than a hundred or so grams, and the manufacturing cost of titanium is so much more than stainless steel. More than that, they just feel like toys when you hold them. 'Wrist fatigue'? Are you kidding me?

Oh, and they definitely DO still scratch up. Even if they didnt, what are you people doing with your watches that they live in such peril of damage?

Like so many other things in watches, its a gimmick designed to justify a massive price inflation without any real upside.
