After seeing this post, I was wondering what this was all about, spent a couple of minutes looking it up, only to get a PM from her.

Have you guys turned this into a summoning ritual?!

Does just viewing this thread trigger a message from her wth

This annoys me. It keeps showing me cyan, but only giving me the options of green or blue. Cyan is neither. It’s freaking cyan! It’s a subtractive primary colour!

(Don’t get me started on art teachers insisting the primary colours for paint are red, yellow and blue. Naff off with that crap. Go look at printer ink, then naff right off again.)

I thought it was more Sheev was trump and Darth Jar Jar was more like musk pulling the strings.

Darth Jar Jar has more class than either of those two creatures.

The only time I could see it as white/gold was the first few times I watched this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xLxVZ8W-aHY

It’s been a while, maybe I’ll try again.

Edit: nope, doesn’t work anymore. Maybe it was the smaller phone I used back then that helped.

The high ground was just a ruse. Obi Wan has the advantage on the low ground. Vs Maul and Grievous, he attacked from below. Taunting Anakin about the high ground was just to make Anakin try to get the high ground so Obi Wan could attack from below. Which he did.

Attacking from the low ground in melee combat is advantageous as you can just go for the ankles, as my niece figured out very early on when we used to play lightsaber battles. She’d insist I stand on the bed, and she’d slice off my ankles, it’s over, Auntikin, I have the low ground, haha.

Nope, I don’t think I’d ever heard of it prior to the Arthur version.

We did the fall of Icarus in Year 3. My little sister learned Theseus and the Minotaur when she was around the same age, which is how I knew about it. Other than that, I don’t remember studying Ancient Greek anything, not even Heracles. Your school was obviously better than mine.

Mine didn’t. We did Buddy, The Crucible, Animal Farm and Shakespeare from what I remember. First I heard of the Odyssey was when I was 19 and DW did a retelling of it on Arthur. When I saw a copy of the story in the shop I worked at, I got it so I could read the actual story.

Can a catapult launch a 90kg projectile over 300m? No, didn’t think so.

I used to in a previous job. They brought in a thing where if your birthday fell on your usual shift day, you got it off at full pay.

That’s really great to hear!

Awesome! Did it do what it said on the tin? Did you make the mental shift so that you didn’t want to smoke after? Or do you ever feel tempted?

You might try Allen Carr’s easyway book, it’s meant to make you give up in a way that you don’t even want to smoke anymore, rather than fighting the urge. I’m a non smoker so I can’t give my personal experience on it. But it was recommended by some former smokers on the ukcasual community. I bought a used copy for a colleague, but I don’t work there anymore, so I’ll try to catch up with him sometime and find out how he went with it. I’m currently reading Carr’s other book, The Nicotine Conspiracy, and I’m finding it very interesting. (I have an ebook copy of his easyway book if you want it).

That’s okay. The GF actually stands for gayfriend.

Microwave for water?! I am going to spontaneously combust with rage, and you can use the heat to boil the water for your tea properly! 😡🥵🔥☕👍🏽 🇬🇧

It’s obvious. A sealion in a hat!

(I hope at least one person gets the reference)

It’s not even innuendo, it’s just overt! “That’s what s/he said” comes up every five minutes!

Yep. Just watch any of Thunderfoot’s musk videos and you’ll see that clip featured at least once.
