Wait, WHAT?????

Yeah, he dressed up as Father Christmas. Bit obvious, he had a very distinct head shape.

Apparently when I was young, I believed that, since I rumbled the headmaster of my primary school was Father Christmas at our Christmas Fair, that random adults were somehow chosen to be some sort of Avatar of Father Christmas. Weird kid, me.

Thoughts on Boom (SPOILERS):
 

All that being said, a massive improvement on Space Babies, I give this one 4 Lori Flahertys out of 5.

"What is The Great British Sports Entertainment Gathering Place doing in the Impact Zone?!"

I seem to remember in the early 2010s, when Terry Pratchett mentioned he was in favour of euthanasia being legalised in the UK, The Daily Fail were up in arms and acting like Switzerland were offering 2-for-1 coupons to Dignitas to every person who passed through Zurich airport. The sad fact is, there are a lot of people in the UK who are suffering and will continue to suffer because our lawmakers are too prudish and laissez faire to have a serious discussion on the topic.

See, I'd argue all of the worst arcs are Moffat's. The impossible girl arc is the worst thing anyone has ever written. 

I dunno man, I've seen Mac And Me.....

Calling it here and now, The One Who Waits will probably turn out to be The Master.

WAR, which is a brilliant name, but it's actual two definitions, Wrestle Association R and more specifically Wrestle and Romance are wonderfully bizarre and I'm guessing lost in some sort of translation. Unless Tenryu had some curious ideas he never got round to beyond random 6 man tag teams.

And Wrestling Association Of Rugby!

I don't know how I feel about this.....

Are there any UK feds not run by the various flavours of sociopath we usually get at this point? North look pretty good but it's a helluva trek for me to get to their shows.

Apologies for the Thread Necromancy but there's my thoughts on Space Babies and The Devil's Chord. Spoilers, of course.

Space Babies:

 

The Devil's Chord:

Please tell me it was this one

 

 

Sadly not, I've had paid whatever they wanted to see that!

Went to my first ever Comicon on Saturday. An old friend of mine had a stall selling non-Warhammer wargaming models. I bought a Penguin King on a sled that I fully intend to paint in Lannister colours. THE PENGISTERS SEND THEIR REGARDS!

1, Corporations will pay ALL of their Corporation Tax. No exceptions.

2, Disability Benefit assessments must be performed by practicing doctors, not doctors who have been struck off.

3, Trans people will be recognised as the gender they identify as.

4, Near-dated food/food that is on the use-by date will be free to low-income families.

5, Politicians will not be allowed to accept gifts or jobs outside of their positions as MP. This one's just for me, as it's a personal bugbear of mine.

They say that instead of doctors deciding if you’re well enough, they will have trained staff doing it. 

With all due respect to the people working there, I’d rather actual doctors led this. 

I seem to recall a whistleblower revealed that companies like Capita were actually using doctors that had been struck off and dental nurses at one point. Wouldn't surprise me if that was still the case.

Well colour me fucking shocked, The Tories are punching down on the disabled and long-term sick again. After Eliana Rubashkyn successfully claimed asylum in New Zealand because she felt unsafe in the UK, I have to wonder to myself how long it will be before disabled people and people with mental health issues will be able to do the same. I mean, fuck me running, I have a friend with Cerebral Palsy who can't walk more than a few feet unassisted, he struggles to even stand, he has to live hand to mouth because of how little help he gets from the Government, and now they're talking about taking away what little they give him? 

Is this a kink? Does Rishi Sunak get off on being told he's a scumbag? If this is a kink thing, and I ask if it's a kink thing, you have to tell me, it's the law.

Guarantee you're thinking of Freddie Starr.

Seems unlikely, I don't like thinking about either of them.....

Huh. I thought Bobby Davro died years ago......

Four and a half minutes of flag shaggers talking absolute shit. The first woman is beyond parody, I thought it was a sketch from Stewart Lee’s Comedy Vehicle. One guy bascially references being arrested for saying you’re British. Jesus fucking Christ indeed. 

I should point out that coffee has been more popular than tea in the UK since the end of WW2.....

I stream on Twitch, and I'm used to the art scammers and shills messaging me during streams, but today I had one and it really got to me. I should preface this by saying although I'm a small-timer, I still paid for my emotes and artwork that I use for BRB and offline screens. And today, today I had some jerkoff selling AI generated art that he probably created on Bing message me on my Discord and say "Hey, I'm selling art and yours is kind of lacking." Fuck me running, if he'd have said that to my face, I'd have throat-punched the bastard.

There's a Star Wars Armada-style game coming soon for Star Trek. I have a powerful need....

Is it just me or are we seeing more and more of JKR being accused of being anti-something and then trotting out minor characters that were barely mentioned in the books as if to say "Nooo, I'm not anti-Semitic, I have an Jewish character!"?

I don't remember them in 2nd at all.

Pretty sure they were briefly mentioned in one of the rulebooks, I might be mistaken though, it has been a while.

There is lore that means there's no female space marines. 

Well, you say that, but there was an all-female chapter of Space Marines in the Rogue Trader edition of Warhammer 40,000, and they were mentioned in 2nd Edition, but have since disappeared.
