Similarly, Shitterton in Dorset's sign was repeatedly stolen, so in 2010 the village banded together to buy a 1.5 tonne slab of Purbeck stone to use as their sign.

Anime covers 4 out of 11 novels, so it would have likely only been enough one longer or two short seasons and a few OVAs to cover the rest of the material.

Glad to see Kokoro Connect mentioned. Shame it never got it's second series due to the VA controversy.

She's been doing a bit too much lying low.

Surely there was a hero with a quirk akin to Shoji's that allowed the growing of further eyes on extremities, or some form of reptilian quirk with a third transparent eyelid like a frog. Though with erasure requiring "both" eyes to stay focused, I wonder if that would extend to "all" eyes if the user grew more.

Did he at least buy her some opal fruits?

You can still see it a lot following joint replacement surgery, congenital deformities, traumatic accidents with resultant limb shortening, etc. Though I'm probably bias in how many I see, seeing as it's my job!

Not sure where you're getting this from, I'm currently learning to drive and have been taught to indicate on roundabouts as it is a rule of the road.

Not for guild tokens, but for adventurers guild chips. There's a mysterious merchant who you can trade item drops from chests from - you can sell duplicates or unwanted items for a few chips and buy desired drops for a (much higher) price. Chips have to be from the same chest.

Locations and amounts can be found on the wiki.

I suppose you could argue that this is what they showed at Fort Harmony? Frenchie was unnaffected by Quinn's emotion-aura, which isn't mind reading but it is mind altering?

In truth I don't quite believe it to be connected. If it were, a throwaway line like "Well it worked for Frenchie" would at least clarify how they came to the conclusion.

Personally, I find the first one more appealing. I also like the first two pages of that edition with the eggs containing different concepts from the book. Of course, at first none made sense. It was nice to look back every now and then to see if any scenes had happened, felt a bit like being a dream reader myself!

Good rule of thumb, if they show everyone else's fate but cut away for a specific character, fair to assume their fate is intentionally ambiguous!

Possibly reaching, but in episode 3 there's a scene that may hint at Buck not being fully loyal to the Fisks, so he may have another use for the Second-Mate. Buck and Vanessa are talking whilst inspecting pistols from three boxes, when their conversation concludes Vanessa places her pistol back in its box next to another (assumedly Wilson's) both facing the same direction. Buck then places his back the opposite direction, aimed toward the other two. It could be nothing, but the camera focus does seem to hang on his action.

Getting the impression Buck may have some kind of agenda independent of Fisk. They very obviously showed him killing the two homeland security agents, but didn't actually show him killing the second-mate.

In episode 3, during Buck's talk with Vanessa, they each take a pistol from one of three cases. When they set them back down, Vanessa's (and assumedly Fisk's) are pointing one direction, whereas he places his back down facing back at them instead of with them.

Could be nothing, but subtle enough to set a bit of groundwork for a last minute subversion.

Why your preferred confection,

Is toffee, not twix?

Is it a bit too… on the nose? I turned the card over in my hand, it was only a pound-fifty and sported a cartoon tankard spilling his contents with a toothy grin. In the spilt foam, bubbles spelled out 'Drunk in Love'.

After two dates a card with the word love was sure to get me left with the cheque and an awkward hug goodbye. Besides that, did I really feel that strongly about her yet? I scanned the cards for a message I could latch onto. 'The Apple of my Eye' wasn’t bad, she is certainly cute, but calling her mine so soon was still quite strong. 'Hot Stuff' was certainly accurate, and the muscled chilli pepper flexing would be sure to make her laugh. She has a great sense of humour, on our last date I remember my jaw aching from laughing so hard.

Why did I agree to a third date in February? I’m sober as a priest and even now I can’t collect my thoughts, I doubt I can keep my tongue from betraying me for more than a couple of hours.

I picked out a reasonably priced bunch of assorted flowers and decided the 'Hot Stuff' card would be the safest option. After paying, I peeled the price tags away and tossed them in the bin.

The rest of the day was a blur. I left the car at home, it felt unnatural to be without it. To not be opening the door for her, handing her my phone to choose the music, to be able to drive her home safely after our date. Though better my car stays home so I don’t have to travel across the city tomorrow to find it again.

I sat on the train watching the city go by. At each stop, a partner would be waiting with either an enormous heart-shaped balloon or an overspilling bouquet of red roses. Their other half would leap from the train and glide into their open arms, planting a kiss on their expectant lips. After, they would melt into a hug, rather than into an incoherent puddle as their knees buckled. My leg had become suddenly damp, looking down I noticed I was gripping the flower stems a bit too hard, so rested them on the seat beside me.

After exiting the train I took a slow walk toward the restaurant. Among the crowd were the typical sights of Valentines Day. Couples walking arm in arm, late shoppers choosing the least wilted looking flowers from a street stand, a man on a park bench tapping his chin as a card rested in his lap. She stood patiently on the corner, a long and flowing floral dress peaking out from underneath her grey windbreaker, scarf wrapped up to her nose and a woolly hat masking her curly blonde hair. She hadn’t seen me just yet, so I stopped and watched from a distance. It certainly wasn’t beer-goggles, she was a picture of grace to behold. You’d never guess she swore like a sailor.

Her eyes lit up as she saw me, and she reached a delicate hand up to pull the scarf down. There they were. Shining scarlet with gloss, her lips curled into a welcoming smile. In less than five seconds I’d be a blathering idiot.

Our embrace was stuffy and warm. Though our bodies stayed far apart through the layers of coats and jumpers, she gave a tight squeeze to try to force her will through them. With one eye peering open, she pursed her lips and lifted herself up onto her toes.

A cold breeze crept between our faces as she slowly lowered herself back down, her eyebrows narrowing and lips softening to an uncertain frown.

“It’s just -“ I started, but before I could finish my thought, she had her hands on my collar and vaulted herself toward my cheek. Planting a firm and prickling kiss, I felt a rush of heat shoot through my neck, over my shoulders, and down to my fingertips. I wasn’t drunk, just…

“Bit of a buzz?” She smirked, flattening my collar and taking a step back. “Come on, I could do with a drink. It’s been a long day.”

Love the layout, great blend of aesthetics and function. I should stop browsing the subreddit when I have an active run as it just makes me want to completely rebuild my base!

Ironically, I am sat in Milan Bergamo airport right now waiting for a flight to the UK after experiencing similar concerns this morning. My partner has pre-settled status, and whilst my boarding pass was generated in the app, hers was still pending when we arrived at the airport.

She generated a new share code and presented it at the Ryanair visa Check-In desk with her passport, took two minutes and we were on our way with a printed boarding pass.

The new ETA/ E-Visa system has thrown a lot of systems for a loop, but of all the people in the queue for various visa concerns we were by-far done quickest. Just give yourself an extra bit of time on arrival as there were a few people taking quite a while with ETA queries.

Buon Viaggio!

Not a dumb question! In Goblet of Fire, Barty Crouch Junior, posing as Moody, tells the class that even if every member of the class were to point their wands at him and utter the curse the worst he would suffer is a nosebleed. It seemingly can't be cast by accident.

A hypothetical question I keep coming back to is if we assume he is not compromised, what would a Russian agent do any differently to what he has done over the last few months? There isn't much that comes to mind.

I think overall there is some clarification missing with many of the objectives, which I couldn't find more detailed explanations for on Civopedia.

The task for "Amaterasu Triumphant" in the Modern Era asks you to build 5 factories. I didn't expect it to be so specific that you cannot complete this task by purchasing the buildings, and so you would need to have a minimum of 5 cities and to put production into building each one.

There's a good few magpies in this comment section, I didn't see the coins at all, too focused on the rock. I wonder if they'd still be there if I wander back down today?

A fair theory, but on inspection the covering goes all the way under the rock, and the rocks themselves aren't hardened cement but are exactly like those behind them in the photo, just wrapped up
