Problems continue to mount for Russia in Western Zaporizhia. Copy paste from Institute for the study of war: Ukrainian armored vehicles are operating beyond the final line of the Russian defensive layer that Ukrainian forces in western Zaporizhia Oblast are currently penetrating, although ISW is...

Okay some common ground. I would say it wasn't a bit daft but off the wall insane

I had no problem with the end of GoT either btw

Oh, just remembered I did talk to a guy who didn't like it because it wasn't historical

I was living with my now ex Linds when GoT was really big, about season 4, and I started watching the first season. She thought it was shit. I am not alone. She loved Britannia. I am not alone. Must admit I haven't met anyone else who liked it but then I can't recall talking about it with anyone.

Because Britannia ripped up the rules and made it's own. You either like that (and are in a minority) or you don't. GoT was decent but I wouldn't actually recommend someone to watch it. It was very generic.

It was way more bizarre and inventive than GoT. GoT was worth watching once. Britannia I'd watch again.

I suspect it surprised quite a few people. Not me though. And this https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-china-66874170 I like the line 'Many of the complainants are inexperienced investors who were promised high yields, police said.' As soon as someone promises high yields on crypto you know...

Not just Donovan, there is a scene played out to a Cream track with a whole bunch of Roman troops tripping their nuts off after being deliberately poisoned by a couple of AWOL Romans who had gone native. And various other great songs from that genre/era. They used a different title track for...

If you didn't like it after 6 episodes then you won't like it ever. It's not for everyone. Personally I loved it. Fantastic cast, generally excellent script, great music, production values were as good as they could be considering it obviously wasn't a high budget series, well paced and totally...

Another bonkers show that's well worth a look (I should warn you that it makes no attempt at historical accuracy, well maybe 1%) is Britannia. They made 3 seasons and it had the legs for more but got canceled.

I see my use of VG+ has given me away! Although comics have never been my scene so I don't buy them to sell I occasionally end up with some that I sell. Been selling online since 2001, all sorts. But, yeah, terms like VG+ I might use for OOP books, games, DVD's, whatever.

If you like Preacher cos it was batshit crazy it's deff worth a look at Blood Drive. Totally insane and brilliant. Only did one season, on purpose. Another one worth a look (although it isn't as good as Preacher or Blood Drive but it is batshit crazy) is That Dirty Black Bag. Liked the first...

Okay, I promise not to mention RPG's, wargames or the IJN again

I've watched Preacher twice as well. Whilst I can see why folk might not like the whole of the last season I am fine with it. I give the 4 seasons a VG+ rateing overall

I've done pen and paper role playing in the past. And would do again. I've a large collection of T&T stuff. If by wargame you don't mean historical games then I've done that n all, got a lot of BattleTech stuff, some of the old FASA Star Trek stuff as well as some Steve Jackson's Games Car Wars...

No, this is the first one. But it seems we mostly agree on what little has been said about the IJN in WWII

Don't know Fortitude but if you are refering to Dark that was a German Netlix original then I thought it was great. Gave The Rig, I think 2.5 episodes, before deciding it was very poor.

Yes, that's more or less where I am. Although it might take 10-15 years (if that counts as not to distant future). I too am interested in naval warfare and have read quite widly on the subject. But TBH I don't think we need to start a thread about it! I suspect it would just be us two largly...

Retailers, banks and all other venues that accept payment do so through, mostly, electronic means. I see people pay with their phones for shopping regularly. In Margate. How did that happen when a couple of decades ago trying to pay for a few pints with a card was incomprehensible. Things...
