A Literal Cabbage. What do you want from me?
Okay, all of those are amazing.
I have lots of weird little “widgets” I love and would probably hold close to my heart forever (Mr Toad, Quar, etc.) so I suppose a mishmash of things is as good as something “meaningful”. And I guess those things are more likely to stay dear to me over something “big”!
I remember getting a hand written letter from my MP when I hit 18 - I loathe the party he represented but he was a proper gent. His seat was taken over by the current leader of the opposition party who is undeniably mental too, so I doubt she writes to her constituents to welcome them to the democratic process!
I’ve wanted a tattoo since I was about 15 (and I’m 35 now) but I never pulled the trigger on it.
I never found an artist who was just right or a design I would be happy having on my body forever!
They’re awesome though, and I love seeing other people’s.
Is it like the celery in a bloody Mary, or you swig your beer then pop in a little pepperami afterwards?
It’s a pretty common combo too - I see it on menus a lot!
Branston is a pretty mild one, but I love a harsh, vinegary pickle with peanut butter. A sweat inducing Piccalilli is the bees knees too.
A crunchie bar dipped in salsa is a pretty good combo for me.
And I also like branstons pickle with crunchy peanut butter.
Usually because you actually own the retail/physical version but they can rescind access to a digital copy at any point.
But I usually buy old games or new ones second hand, so, I exist on a slightly different market place…
I get the MSRP outrage, but I mean it’s not an unusual cost for launch day titles, especially for physical media.
I don’t think I’ve ever paid full retail for any game or console I’ve ever owned though. And I do like to own my games by buying physical media (or at least the installer files).
Wild. Possibly market rates are different - don’t know if the EUR is particularly weak right now? I don’t follow the conversion rates…
What games currently cost that much though, is my question really, I guess. The last expensive titles I can see right now for standard editions of games is like, 70Eur equivalent for AAA type titles.
I mean I own a switch, and I’ve never paid anything close to that for games… I’ve gone to maybe £45-50 for launch titles but what games cost £70?
Who the hell is paying 90EUR for switch games?
On an ideal (working) morning if be up a couple of hours before I need to leave the house to bathe, make breakfast and something for lunch, clean the kitchen a little (which is my domain in the house), sit and watch TV or read for a bit, then leave with plenty of time to get to work.
Sometimes I manage this.
Otherwise it’s snooze the alarm a few times, get out of bed, shower, make some toast quickly, lob some food at the cats and leave a little later than ideal, and get to work just in time.
Unfortunately my partner works from home and gets up later than me so my comfy bed has a chronic cuddler in it, and she’s normally surrounded by our cats too so my bed is a wonderful nest that’s difficult to crawl out from.
Do you ever not listen to podcasts? I can barely keep up to date with 2 or 3!
The big two for me are
I quite enjoy The Rest Is Entertainment for Richard Osman’s take on all things media related. Marina Hyde is okay too, but she has some poor takes on a lot of things…
People banging on about having “generational wealth” is a pet peeve of mine. If you have it you wouldn’t talk about it, and it’s fine to want to set you kids up but you mostly want to spaff it all on awful shit people told you was bougie.
I miss the days when people who got rich suddenly bought jetskis, a good toilet, and blew it all having an amazing time. There’s an honesty to that I can respect (as a poor).
The only one I enjoyed was Branagh’s Cinderella. Good visuals, no weird messing with the story, just a straight up retelling, just with good acting and direction.
Aus or NZ?
