Their has to be a better system than penalty shootouts to decide who wins games like this ...oh well

I cannot believe it !!! Oh well I suppose now the game is more exciting and Italy was putting loads of pressure on England .....

Its looking good so far for England ....now they just need to hold the pizza munchers off for the rest of the game

Sorry to hear but at least that great meat wont go to waste. During this lockdown, and the fact I am single, I have on several occasions cooked a whole roast, different types of meat, just for myself So I eat it for lunch on Sunday or Saturday and then I have delicious leftovers for sandwiches for the next 3-5 days so nothing is wasted

Didnt your brother come through?

I think this is part of it because when Trump was president he use to ignore and insult different media houses and now journalists are aware they wont be treated like this when they addressing Biden .....so they making up for lost time And as I keep saying that despite my reservations about some of Bidens policies and strategies I like him and do think he is doing a good job overall, especially around the pandemic and where the USA was, so its always interesting to see him try to respond to all these questions thrown at him

Has anyone noticed when the US media generally ask Biden questions their doesnt seem to be any structure to how questions are asked and they tend to scream questions at him creating this vociferous deluge Its bedlam and I am not sure he minds, but its like he has this avuncular personality and its okay but its quite frenetic

@Gorth I know I can count on you to support England today, I know you wont turn your back on the Empire and how much you have benefitted on a personal level, even self-identifying anarchists can be magnanimous Gorthfuscious ....and I am sure you are not upset about Denmark losing to England right ? Go England !!!

Okay got it, so the Gold Coast is the place to be ....I understand and support your endorsement

Its always a good idea to mix up your training, I have mentioned since the lockdown that I dont go to gyms anymore when they open because in SA they can really be places where the virus spreads So I do my 5km walks, I dont think they as effective as going to gym but its good exercise and I am very fortunate to be living in a city where I can do this easily . But you made me think of something else You live in the Gold Coast right? What is the time their now, in SA its 7am now Also when you say you train at 2-3 am when do you sleep and do you work night shifts? I use to sometimes work at night on certain projects which was optional and it suited me but since I moved to Cpt I work " normal " hours and work during the day

Okay I can now comment with conviction that Sunless Sea is fun and offers a real entertainment factor The key to this for me was understanding the gaming mechanics and accepting outcomes like death are part of the game. But in summary you can gain money, which is critical to survival to buy fuel and goods, by just visiting unusual islands and then reporting this to the Admiralty in London. This is a just one way you survive in the game around increasing your revenue stream And then combat is necessary and once you understand how that works it is also fun. The writing has levels of complexity and humor and I appreciate that So its a perfect distraction for the next 2 weeks while I focus on RL pressures

Well done for exercising and training harder at the gym In these difficult times of pandemic its important to try to stay in good health as much as possible as their is no doubt their is a link between virus severity and your overall health What is your training program and how have you changed things ?

I have watched both seasons now and it really is entertaining, its something different and I love how it ties into the whole Norse mythology with "RL "characters I was always surprised it wasnt more popular on these forums considering how many people love fantasy

You make some good debatable points and someone can easily find examples of some of what you mention in the USA over the last 20 years or so But to be fair to people who voted for Biden they didnt all vote for him because they believe in the Democrats ideas around the economy or how to address inequality or even because of BLM and its current influence . Some people voted for the Democrats because of this but undecided voters made the difference and allowed the Democrats to win https://www.newsweek.com/2020/09/04/undecided-voters-were-key-trumps-win-2016-will-they-deliver-again-1526824.html And I would argue it was the absolutely appalling handling of the pandemic that swung most undecided voters to Biden, I believe this because that is what would have made my mind up at the end if I could vote as a US citizen The midterms or the next election once the pandemic is over will be the true test of whether the Democrats have real policies or strategies that resonate with the majority of US voters

Your brother?? I have been chatting to you on this forum for 11 years and I cant recall you ever mentioning you had a brother .....you not joking when you say you not close Well I hope you have a good reunion because family are important and they matter under most circumstances

True video made in 1971 by the BBC when a female reporter decides to pinch mens bottoms in London ....this was the early days of raising attention to womens rights and its brilliant and hilarious

The art and objective of effective Marketing is you can never prepare people and gather interest in something that is impending sooner enough

I hear you, I suppose its hard to incorporate all the themes of the Witcher world into a TV series and to do justice to them from a time and focus perspective

Im in the same boat .....excuse the pun Anyway I plan to put some effort in today, 4 hours or so to see if the game makes sense on an entertainment level. I am using a Steam game guide to understand the basic rules and mechanics

, ah yes. One of the advantages of living in a country with very little crime...homeless violence is entertaining I envy you

That looks excellent, I cant wait. I am interested in seeing who the other aspiring Witchers are

Im concerned with the US pullout from Afghanistan and how it will impact Bidens legacy if the country collapses under renewed Taliban attacks I have been following several discussions around this and I watched Bidens speech yesterday and despite people saying "The Afghanistan army is 300k strong and well resourced and has been trained " I am not convinced. I hope they can stop the country sliding into chaos and violence....the last thing I want to see is the return of the barbaric Taliban But I also agree its time for the US to leave Afghanistan because the primary goals have been achieved and lots of money, time and resources have been spent training the new Afghanistan army over the last 20 years so I am not sure what else people can expect considering the geopolitical reality ?

You guys love rubbing it in that you can get Disney Channel in the US, nice brother. We dont that channel available yet in SA White, male privlidege is a beautiful thing when you see its architecture and resources...and of course when you on the receiving end

Due to some work pressures and studying I dont want to commit to any game that may distract me for the next 2 weeks so I am not playing anything that is a fantasy RPG of any kind I am messing around with Sunless Sea, I am not sure I understand or enjoy it yet but I will know by Sunday as I plan to give it at least 4 hours. I have spent 1 hour so far Has anyone played this game and what did you think?

Gorthfuscious that has got to be the most interesting and illuminating video I have ever seen around the original ideas and creation of the BG series ....well done for posting it So many things to consider. I even found the frivolous bits of information interesting like the beer, the comic and the MDK2 spell. But the whole time planar " Sword Coast dictatorship " brilliant, a pity they couldn't implement it I also always assumed @Gromnir was just using the sobriquet of an established character , well done Gromnir for being the owner and sustaining this " IP " ....Im not sure what else you can refer to it as ? But great video
