I like Trevor Noah, Nish Kumar and Monty Python so that about sums it up!
How could I forget Stephen Fry, old school Star Trek, and those damned time-travelling robots? Old but not obsolete.

Can we do a traits.remove_trait (insert traits you want to remove here)?

That is so very kind of you. Thank you very much.
Please do hang on to it because it is a valuable piece of history that your family ( or if you have children?) will appreciate.

Wow! I remember when that happened. You're a lucky man to own such a piece of history. Not so lucky for John, though.

Don't know about you, but that cyborg-speak is doing my head in.
I suddenly feel the need to one-shot a giant and some mammoths in Skyrim.

That's understandable. Every cur would concur.

You can only humiliate someone who has the capacity to feel shame. We know this from watching the cast of Shameless parade their lack of shame and embarrassment on a daily basis.

"Partly", but most commonly because ordinary people couldn't afford phone calls on home phones either. Only important communications were allowed, no time wasting chit chat.

I am old enough to know this.
Landline phones were so rare and expensive that only well off people owned phones. They were used to make important calls only, or to receive calls at someone else's expense.
Folks developed a code for communicating for free, based on the number of rings.

I'm old enough to remember the reason why: landline phones were rare luxuries that only well off people owned. Folks who managed to afford a phone only used it for important calls, or to receive calls at someone else's expense.
"Hanging up quickly" was a code for communicating, free of charge.

Yep, and whatever you do, never ever think of turning on the light in a dark room. Never lock the door behind you. Never close the drapes. That would just spoil everything.
Above all else, make sure you trip and fall.

The child can lift a single eyebrow better than I can,so at least there's that. Aspiring James Bond actors better watch their backs now.

Drowners, hidden in the water like mudcrabs in Whiterun.

In Victor Meldrew's tone of voice, "I don't belieeeeve it!"
I am shocked. SHOCKED, I tell you. 😂

I came here to say to Welsh speakers, "May your language live long and prosper!"
As someone who has lived in several countries where the locals have lost their identities through colonialism, and now the "cultural imperialism" of one dominant country, keep up the good work.

Maybe they were practising their mage skills for their Skyrim collab later, after a few tankards of mead in Whiterun.

It goes without saying that they didn't know there was a fourth one, who passed away before the others.

When Bad Enoch isn't bad-enough, and they found an even badder Enoch in a business suit, who's invited the Grandmaster of Bad Enoch-ing to a state visit with the King of our realm.

It's his own fault for not being a convicted criminal with thirty-four "felonies", as the Americans say, including the four-letter word that can't be mentioned in polite conversations online.

Tell me if you disagree: I am annoyed that when you finally get a house, or even a castle/fort, you have to hunt everywhere for appropriate storage and you can't even find your bed.

Funny how they all want to fly off to an EU country, first chance they get.

Slightly embarrassed to admit that after playing the new-improved, turbocharged Oblivion Remastered, I dumped it for my comfortable old shoes. Skyrim wins, as always.

Well if you're at loose ends, you could always log into Skyrim again and level up your archery skills by getting Acano alone in a dark corner, and spamming him with arrows from your bound bow, in sneak mode.

Let's assume that he's never been to Amsterdam.

I have lived most of my life on several very small islands; some are really, really tiny. People don't live like "strangers" when they're all physically confined to a small island. Neighbours are friends who treat each other like family, regardless of their ethnicity or nationality.

The sun is shining with a teenie bit of warmth here, and I can see all the plants and trees in my garden being hopeful that they could peep out again cautiously.
Just saw a pair of wild goldfinches drinking from the bird bath. I'm looking forward to more visits from them and their birdie friends.

There's a special court in the Hague for "crimes against humanity". If only there was one for wanton destruction of the environment, I know that would make entire government administrations and political systems collapse.

Are they going to make the unicorn stop attacking you when your weapon is drawn, and stay with you instead of wandering away into some random bandit camp to pick a fight with a rat?

I can imagine all the "expats" moaning about the locals being incompetent, unlike their beloved Old Blighty... from which they've fled.

I love how it's not shiny and "new improved turbo charged". Metal objects don't look like chrome; ancient stone walls don't look like freshly set concrete; misty and mysterious scenery doesn't look like ultra high definition.

They'll probably raise their hand at a distinctive angle, with palms outstretched and fingers joined together.

I was teaching macramé to a group of vulnerable people, and I wanted a simple explanation of the etymology of the word. I made the mistake of Googling "rope" and "tying knots".

That looks more like Fallout 4, outside a raiders' camp near Diamond City.

Isn't that the thing we used to make, as kiddies, with a rubber band, a bobbin and a pencil?

I downloaded it this morning but won't have time to play until tonight. Looking forward to learning about the myths and legends of the people of southern America.

Yesterday I was thinking about people who dream of living in a seaside cottage (as I do. They probably don't know that you need to have a dedicated scrubbing brush, solely for scrubbing seagull poop off the car, house, light fittings and garden furniture.

Happy birthday. You've survived so far; and so far so good. One milestone passed and some unmentionables unmentioned.

As non-American, whenever I've visited that country, I've always found it insulting and demeaning that the first signs that greet visitors at airports say "Aliens". I've never seen that in any other country.
