Steven Pacey reading Joe Abercrombie’s First Law series is outstanding. The books themselves are among my favourites, but Steven makes them even more special. He has different voices (and accents) for the characters and manages to stay consistent with them. His pacing is also excellent.

Thank you for sharing.

Childbirth, but my son’s birth, not mine. Lost a lot of blood and had to have meds to slow it, surgery to stop it, and a transfusion to replace it.

I don’t think anything would have got me before then, but I’m vaccinated, so who knows?

Muscled like a maiden’s fantasy!

I thought someone might have already shared this…

It was in the comments on another post a few weeks ago and I ended up watching the whole thing.

There is also a good You’re Wrong About podcast episode on this.

Of course it’s in Scunthorpe.

I met a cat in a chip shop, rubbing against everyone’s legs. Apparently he was in there often and the delivery driver would drop him home.

Outstanding

I get that. I’ve been trying not to use the wooden boards for cutting them as it gives off such a weird smell when I wash them.

Not allergic, but the very thought of onions (and garlic) in pregnancy made me feel sick. Smelling them or seeing them cooked (with their translucent little stripes) would have me heaving. All the foods I love have onions and garlic in. It was awful.

He looks like a tardigrade

D4 assuming there’s no milk in it. My mother likes A2, maybe 3. It’s a waste of a tea bag.

Looks amazing! I have made samosas using filo, but also flour tortillas. You cut them in half then fold each half around your filling, using water and crimping to seal then.

Thanks! I’ll have a look.

We use ours every day. The only bad thing about it is having to wash the drawers all the time.

Sounds good. I season it and dry it out at 90°C. It takes 30-40 minutes to get perfectly crisp with no burnt bits. I should try growing my own.

I seen stuff like this before, and I think I know how it’s supposed to work.

The “stranger” recruited the person who posted this to OP’s friend as one of 6 people. Each of those 6 people recruit 6 others, who send the books to the stranger (their friend’s friend), hence the 36. OP’s friend will be asked to recruit 6 people in turn, and each of those recruit 6, who then send books to OP’s friend.

I think it’s a bit dodgy that they’re being asked to buy new, but I’d be more concerned that these kind of schemes can be used to feel out who’s likely to fall for more sinister scams, as people feel they’re getting a lot back for very little.

Plus, it only takes a few levels (13 if my maths is right) before there are more (far more!) recruits needed than people on earth.
