  • You should have seen our house a year after we moved in. We still have unpacked boxes. No but strong, Bond is seldom there, he's constantly on missions and he's had to refurbish everything after his "death". On a side note, that's my favorite incar…

  • A darn shame because Burgess has nothing to do with Austin. They should be repatriated to Manchester.

  • Nobody in our family likes Brussels sprouts much, but every Christmas my wife is adamant that we must have them in the menu, because it's British. I'm the one who ends up eating most of my son's share, on top of my own. I think I plugged New Engl…

  • There's a few series on Netflix pretty suitable for summer: Fauda and Queen Sono come to my mind. Fauda is by far the best series I've seen in a long while, but Queen Sono is enjoyable and of course has that African feel.

  • Because this is not merely a Mozart/opera thread (as much as I'm often tempted to turn it into one, because of my own preferences and bias), here is Smetlava's Vltava (The Moldau).

  • Here's an idea I've had for a while. Was considering writing a fanfic story set between QOS and SF, but it could work as a new story for a new Bond. Freely/heavily inspired by DN and MR. -Colonel Pardaleos (real name unknown) is the reclusive, sh…

  • This thread is reminding me that I really to check my stocks. I've got Yorkshire tea, M&S everyday tea, but I doubt I have any lose leaf tea left. No rooibos for the evening. This is bad. Oh and anyone has a favourite tea mug or teacup? I do.
