    The General Conversation Area

    I don't I'm afraid, both mine are old school and have wires, but the keyboard does light up (but I'm not a gamer) I just liked the click of the keys and the lights were a happy aside! I have had a singular fly in my kitchen for a week now. I keep trying to shoo it out but it just keeps zooming...

    It's all so very sad. The environment is screwed for one thing, his country per capita is far and above the biggest polluter on the planet and he plans to make it worse. I don't know enough to pass comment on the other stuff but it is dark times ahead for the whole world now.

    My parents have done the Ancestry and got back to 1700s, it was quite hard going, a lot of them changed names between censuses and would go by different first names just to shake things up a bit, like a Mary would start going by Molly for some reason etc. My uncle did the DNA and unsurprisingly...

    The only time I have done this is when I was working for an animal charity. I would absolutely NOT do it for the corporate that I am working for, I would stay if things needed doing but I would stay for increments of 15 minutes so that I could claim the overtime, they can easily afford it...

    I live in a medium sized village and left sweets out while I took the kids trick or treating. Out of everyone dressed up there was one Tanjiro and two Sukunas 🤣

    Yaay! Although I will take my ear muffs this time, it was VERY loud 😂 I took the kiddos to see the MHA film on the weekend, we all loved it. I enjoyed the older style animation and the storyline was good, and included plenty of laughs. They could have done with explaining where Aizawa was at...

    I went to a meeting today, I met up with a lady from a local Advocacy movement who help people with learning difficulties make a plan as to what they would like to achieve in life, and they help enable as part of a project called Boost they have.

    Godzilla minus one was one of the best films I have ever seen in my life, without question. I absolutely would love to see more from these people! Not massively fussed if it is in original language as long as there are subs

    Hello, I don't really play games much, but my son does on his phone. He is at a high level on War Robots and needs a new SIM card because the other tariff was pants and this one is much better. We are terrified he is going to lose his progress when he switches card, we tried saving via the...

    What manga are you reading now?

    Chainsaw man 5. Every so often me and the child go into Oxford to Blackwells Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Manga shop and get the next installment of one of the series we are reading through. I liked the book, he is a teenager so found some of it excruciating (romantic section lol) We will never not...

    So the thing is How do I get back my general thoughtless enjoyment of anime/superhero films/big ol' splendid huge things without spending the entire time thinking 'Good lord that is like 4 buildings they have destroyed now, so expensive!' or like during Jujusu kaisen they blow out a LOT of...

    https://www.myvue.com/film/my-hero-academia-youre-next-dubbed If you have a Vue near you they seem to be the most reasonably priced tickets. Also they are only doing three showings over the weekend, one each day.

    I found tickets available for 'You're Next' the MHA film at Vue cinemas today. Ours in Swindon is only £4.99 a ticket at the moment because they have only just bought the cinema from Empire so getting in as many films as I can before the prices go up! They're only doing three showings though...
