Brigitte Bardot has died, aged 91.

I just noticed that I’m down to 10 posts per page too. @Morrus?

My mother managed to find me a decent used copy of Hell Bay for Christmas. It’s the only one of Will Thomas’ excellent Barker and Llewelyn detective series that’s no longer in print* (and was thus the only one aside from the newest book not in my collection). I’d read it before, having borrowed...

EDIT: Nah. Never mind.

Yeah, that was a good one. Will is not a sorcerer. Eleven is the real sorcerer. In 5e terms, she can be the psionic-themed aberrant mind sorcerer. But her origin story has sorcerer written all over it. Her powers are innate. It annoyed me how Mike kept saying Will's powers were innate. I think...

Thanks for taking the time to explain! I appreciate it. Being in a different time zone, I get a different time stamp (for me, it says you posted at 10:46 pm on Dec 25). That's probably partly why I was confused.

Just watched episodes 5 and 6! Whooo boy! Gotta wait till after dinner to watch the last one. Then it’s another week till the finale!

If you want supernatural elements, that BBC miniseries Troy: Fall of a City had them in spades. Too bad it was so awful in every other respect ...

Good luck with that! They’re safely tucked away in their case.

Nope, I’ve been pretty careful. I even took the precaution of removing it from my Christmas music playlist earlier in the month. I absolutely did get lucky at the shops, but they’re all closed now. The chances of me hearing that song in the next hour is negligible.

It’s 10:30 pm on Christmas Eve, and we don’t have any music playing. I think I’ll be OK.

No, it’s not “suddenly” all about the lyrics. It was only ever about the lyrics. I specifically was commenting on what the song was “about” – e.g. its subject matter, aka its lyrics. I survived! Only heard covers.
