    [Food] Mediterranean diet

    I’m on a tiny Greek island right now and have just been introduced to Saganaki, a fried cheese which is somewhere between Halloumi and a melted Cheddar. I am absolutely furious with my parents that I’ve had to tolerate 36 Saganaki-less years.

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    I agree, just trying to rationalise why our response might have been difference. I am likewise becoming more inclined to bury my head in the sand and let them crack on with it, worrying about any of this over a football forum isn’t going to change anything. I’m trying to strike a sustainable...

    [Politics] Russia invades Ukraine (24/02/2022)

    It’s surely a NATO issue, where if we actively took part in combat we’d potentially be triggering article 5 and would effectively be at war with Russia. Might have been a different response if Israel were part of NATO. I also get the impression that we’re not as worried about the military...

    [TV] Fallout

    I love all the aforementioned games but they are undoubtedly jank, I think the appeal is largely the settings, atmosphere and exploration for me, rather than the gameplay. The plot line (I haven’t finished yet mind you) is a fairly standard quest to find a MacGuffin which comprises of different...

    [TV] Fallout

    To be fair they coined the concept in 1997 with the original game, so it was pretty original at the time.

    [Albion] Burnley vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    It definitely feels like the players have been told not to get out of third gear. They’ve written the season off and are consolidating for next September, injury free.

    [Albion] Burnley vs Brighton & Hove Albion *** Official Match Thread ***

    We are the very definition of apathetic at the moment.

    [TV] Fallout

    Ever played the games? It’s hard to know how much a non-fan’s experience will differ from someone who’s played the games, but I do think I’m probably enjoying it more already knowing detailed backstories for each group/faction and what certain things are/do. The characters are all-new though...

    [TV] Fallout

    On the general theme of Fallout, fans of the games that haven’t already, I’d strongly recommend checking out the Wasteland games. Same designers that made Fallout 1 & 2 and very similar in theme design and it shares the same RPG system and isometric style. Wasteland 3 is very good on the...

    [TV] Fallout

    Every. Time! Anyway, will watch episode two tonight, my partner who isn’t into games at all and doesn’t know a Pip-Boy from her arse wants to keep watching, which is a good sign. She was very confused by the concept of ghouls :lolol:

    [TV] Fallout

    Promising start. This isn’t a spoiler as such but I’d love to watch a film or TV show where a character gets stabbed and then has the common sense to leave the knife in the wound. Not a first aider amongst them in all of Hollywood it seems.

    [Misc] Don’t dabble with my Scrabble.

    I went through a very intense Scrabble phase in my early 20s and a few of us got very competitive over it, to the point where we’d agonise over every letter and calculate to the nth degree the most effective scoring method, usually planning a few moves ahead. This meant each turn would take 5 -...

    Awarded posthumously, presumably?

    [Albion] Was it a penalty?

    Umpire’s call for me, VAR isn’t overturning the on-field decision whichever way the ref calls it. You could make a case either way but I neither think it’s a ‘stonewall penatly’ nor a travesty of justice.

    [Misc] Have you ever discharged a firearm?

    Went to America a few years ago and rocked up at a firing range. Their vetting process was asking me ‘have I ever been in a mental hospital?’ and ‘do I have any experience with firearms?’. ‘No, and I’ve played some Call of Duty’ ‘Good enough, which gun d’ya want and how many bullets’? Fired...
