I enjoyed the robot mimicking his ‘pain crouch’. 10/10 on rice, would watch again.

Role Playing Games are games where you play a role and for that role to matter. This generally means you can approach problems in multiple different ways and your actions have some consequence.

In the UK it’s a mince pie and a glass of some booze (traditionally sherry) and a carrot for the reindeer.

If you ever get to the Philippines give it a try! Ask for the “young” balut so it’s more like an egg and less like a baby duck.
No thanks!
- Comment on Some people prefer corn for some ungodly reason 6 days ago:
I’m knocking on the door of 60. There’s three things I don’t like and one I wouldn’t try.
I don’t like broad beans (aka fava beans), Brussels sprouts, or peas. One of the best things about being an adult is being able to say ‘No, thanks’. I try them again every few years, just to check. With peas and sprouts I still hate the taste horribly. Broad beans can taste alright but have to be properly prepared and cooked and it’s just easier to say no because when they’re not right they’re the thing I dislike the most.
The one thing I wouldn’t try would be [balut](en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balut_(food). The idea just makes my skin crawl for some reason.
- Comment on surely your hobby can't be that expensive 1 week ago:
I was lucky. When my friends were first trying to persuade me to get into it I went to a LGS to get a started pack.
A guy came in with a sports bag full of ‘his green swaps’ to see what price he could get for them.
That was the point where I realised I’d dip my toe in the water but this wasn’t going to be a serious hobby for me.

Well, strangling animals, golf and masturbating.

There are certain phrases or events which require a ritual response so that my children know all is correct with the world.
If anyone says “Cleopatra”, it is vitally important that I immediately reply “Comin’ atcha!”
If we see a police car, especially if it is running with lights and siren, I must say: “Oh. crikey, it’s the rozzers!”
If we see an ambulance, it is vital that I declare “Ambulance!” forcefully in a bad Welsh accent.
These rituals, and others like them, keep the world spinning correctly on its axis.

Surely that should be ‘mix tape’? And I assume 20 is ‘Phone Box’, not ‘Phone BO’? If so, what’s the difference between a phone box and a phone booth? I scored 17 so I anticipate living for another hundred years!
Plus also, what the fuck are you doing on my lawn, ooh innit cold, the price of stamps these days, look at how young those policemen look, fucking cloud!

The doctor who saw me at A&E was pretty rude about 111 and said they pretty much just send everyone his way regardless of what’s wrong with them.

It’s beyond the environment. It’s not in an environment. It’s been towed beyond the environment.
- Comment on Patients clogging up A&E with hiccups, sore throats and niggles 3 weeks ago:
111 doesn’t help. I got an insect bite a while ago and had an allergic reaction to it so I and rang 111. After working their way through their ‘is this person actually dying’ script they told me to go to A&E. I felt like a time-waster, but went along because that’s what I’d been told to do. But, realistically, I could probably have waited untill the following day and gone to see my GP.

This is Toad The Wet Sprocket, of course!
"Rex Stardust, lead electric triangle with Toad The Wet Sprocket, has had to have an elbow removed following their recent successful worldwide tour of Finland. Flamboyant, ambidextrous Rex apparently fell off the back of a motorcycle. “Fell off the back of a motorcyclist, most likely,” quipped ace drummer Jumbo McClooney on hearing of the accident. Plans are already afoot for a major tour of Iceland.
"Divorced after only eight minutes, popular television singing star Charisma changed her mind on the way out of the registry office, when she realised she’d married one of the Donkeys by mistake. The evening before, in LA’s glittering night spot The Abbatoir, she’d proposed to drummer Reg Abbott of Blind Drunk, after a whirlwind romance and a knee-trembler. But when the hangover lifted, it was Keith Sly of the Donkeys who was on her arm in the registry office. Keith, who was too ill to notice, remained unsteady during the short ceremony and, when asked to exchange vows, began to recite names and addresses of people who also used the stuff. Charisma spotted the error as Keith was being carried into the wedding ambulance, and became emotionally upset. However, the mistake was soon cleared up, and she stayed long enough to consummate their divorce.
“Dead Monkeys are to split up again, according to their manager Lefty Goldblatt. They’ve been in the business now ten years, nine as other groups. Originally the Dead Salmon, they became, for a while, Trout, then Fried Trout, then Poached Trout In A White Wine Sauce, and finally, Herring. Splitting up for nearly a month, they reformed as Red Herring, which became Dead Herring for a while, and then Dead Loss, which reflected the current state of the group. Splitting up again to get their heads together, they reformed a fortnight later as Heads Together, a tight little name which lasted them through a difficult period when their drummer was suspected of suffering from death. It turned out to be only a rumour, and they became Dead Together, then Dead Gear, which led to Dead Donkeys, Lead Donkeys, and the inevitable splitup. After nearly ten days, they reformed again as Sole Meunière, then Dead Sole, Rock Cod, Turbot, Haddock, White Bait, the Plaices, Fish, Bream, Mackerel, Salmon, Poached Salmon, Poached Salmon in a White Wine Sauce, Salmon Meunière, and Helen Shapiro. This last name, their favourite, had to be dropped following an injunction, and they split up again. When they reformed after a record-breaking two days, they ditched the fishy references and became Dead Monkeys, a name which they stuck with for the rest of their careers. Now, a fortnight later, they’ve finally split up.”
