William Tell is a Swiss folk hero. El Cid was a real person in Spain but has become a legendary character, as has Rob Roy McGregor. There’s also Beowulf from earlier times. Welsh mythology is pretty cool I’d check that out for some knightly stuff, like The Gododin.

Americans with their ‘greatest nation on earth’ charade.

Someone whose first name isn’t interesting enough to be the title, I’m fucking sick of it.

Iso- meaning equal chron- meaning time; makes sense. I love it when I can work out the etymology, gives me the old clever-cloggs high

Yeah? Seems legitimately insane to me.

Maybe Liverpool, but that’s really just a joke; it’s actually a nice city centre with decent folk. More broadly, probably East Anglia, but that’s really more our Appalacia.

Yes, but it would require government spending and in the UK we currently have theives and billionnaires in charge who don’t even think kids should be able to eat at school.

Hoisted with his own petard, that’s nice.

Watch it gain traction now peoples’ holidays are under threat!

I swear, it’s exasperating; tell people their kids will die young? Silence. Tell them they can’t go to Kos and take fucking cocktail pictures for socmed and it’s front page news.

Tell that to Thomas Midgley Jr.

Ah, the crux.

What do you mean by alignment?

Runescape by a country mile. Spend whole days with that on in the background, grinding away. 15+ years and still play almost every day.

Kbin term for community

That’s just as well cos we don’t get up to much else. Not that we’re total cynics; sometimes we’re happy enough to break into fits of sarcasm.

London Metro definitely, utter shithole. It’s a moneysuck to the extent that I don’t know how the average bloke can survive. Run by gigarich fuckronauts, sold off to foreign criminals; one big £12-a-pint, can’t fucking move for people, money laundering operation.
