  • Maybe it’s trendy to hate on Koontz but I enjoyed his books when I was a bit younger. The Face, Watchers, TickTock and a couple others but I also liked Clive Cussler at the time so there is that. I think I found it easy to pick up and read as opposed to an investment like King.

    A quick google says that Koontz has sold 450 million books and is worth over 200 million. I’m sure he is okay with not being some people’s favourite.

  • Work for a broadcaster in the UK in one of the back office support roles. We can all work from home for 2 or 3 days every week and the other 2 or 3 in the office.

    It was initially ‘suggested’ post-Covid but from January it will be mandatory to do it as people were not sticking to the suggested days.

  • I would like to dump on America for this but as Scotland is in the UK we have some unholy abomination of in between when it comes to our measurements.

  • Only Apple thini I got was a MagSafe wallet but I had already got a M3 iMac and new iPad Mini this year so can’t complain!

  • I mean this is a ship that made an ensign Number One.

    Oh and also rewarded Burnham with Captaincy after she defied orders a bajillion times.

  • I believe we have two ferries going from east Scotland to Amsterdam and Bruges (or somewhere nearby) starting shortly. We also have Fred Olsen cruises from Scottish ports now too.

    Not defending brexit before I get pitchforked but we aren’t exactly cut off…

  • Maybe with your name you should avoid the water entirely? Didn’t end so well last time…

  • Here’s a few:

    • Our national animal is a Unicorn
    • We are oddly proud of our tap water being drinkable
    • We have nearly 800 islands
    • The saltire (our flag) is the oldest in the world allegedly, from 8th century
    • Despite being part of the bigger country of United Kingdom, Scotland has its own entirely separate legal and education systems.

  • Genuine question here from a place of interest, what do you count as a British Accent? Is there like an actor or someone with an example?

    I’m Scottish and for such a wee country (meaning both Scotland and also the UK) we have such a wide variety of accents I am always interested when someone says ‘British Accent’ as the difference between south Wales to Newcastle to Essex to Aberdeen are chalk and cheese to me.

  • This unlocked some real memories of watching the show with grandparents back in the day!

    Did it make it over to the states?

  • A loo with a view.

  • The rusty sheriffs badge, you mean?

  • Trouble is governments generally won’t vote in something like that cos their mates too often are those rich people or donors to their party.

    Unless you get some really wild folk who give zero shits but they normally don’t end up in power for long.

  • Nail in heart made me physically wince. Yikes.

  • I have used Day One for the last few months and moved over to Apple Journal now. D1 is much more full featured in teens of photo suggestions, and weather etc but the core elements are there for Apples version. It needs layout tweaks and customisation options (e.g I listen to a couple of playlists to fall asleep to and Journal is always recommending them as ‘what I’ve been listening to’ which isn’t wrong but it would be good if I could tell it to ignore it!)

    In a couple of updates the evolved app should do the trick but it’s a wee bit interior to D1 at the moment. Hoping to be able to import from Day One soon.

  • Instructions unclear, pre-ordered Gold Super Premium Platinum Day One Explorer Edition and positive this will be the greatest game of all time

  • Where My Heart Will Take Me

  • Dark Side is such a good album. Great Gig in the Sky never resonated with me as a kid but now it’s a whole different story.

  • A valid point but I played about the same amount of CP then waited til it was all done three years later before doing another, much more thorough and patient playthrough. Have done a similar thing here and will wait a fair amount of time before diving back in.

  • I sunk about 50 hours in but have decided to wait for mods to make the game more as it should have been like I did with Cyberpunk though CDPR at least fixed it themselves without relying on the modders.
