Out of interest I’m being told there are some hideously expensive D&D books, premade adventure things one of which is a murder mystery, if you know what I mean which should I get for my kid’s new group (birthday coming up)

They are very expensive but nicely produced; not sure which one would be a murder-mystery though. A bit of googling will find you some nice PDF "previews" so you can take a look before you drop your cash. From personal experience Out of the Abyss is a ball ache survival horror with too much to keep track of in terms of NPCs and supplies, and no incentive to engage with the second part of the adventure. Tales from the Yawning Portal is great if you want to throw some (difficult) dungeons into your own setting, and I just started reading Storm King's Thunder and it seems cool and good so far.

Edit: Oh and Storm King's Thunder could well be what you're talking about; the Storm King is missing and his wife was murdered. Don't let the players read the intro to the book!

I think the newly released 'Dragonheist' is the most small scale adventure, all taking place in a single city and only about a quest for gold. it looks very good.

Waterdeep: Dragon Heist does look great; I am hoping this selfish baby will curb her greed enough that I can buy it this month.

Added bonus that the books look really really lovely next to each other on the shelf.

Is there anything that can be done with "out of date" medical supplies? Our office is throwing away dozens and dozens of sterile dressings, wipes, pads etc. Obviously I'm taking them all for my Brexit stash, but in normal circumstances? Do you just chuck them away?

Afaik the use by dates on medicines, like food, tends to be a very conservative estimate. I still have an inhaler I should have binned in 2016 and it still seems to work. Pretty sure stuff like dressings will keep for years longer than the official expiry date. That said there are some drugs that degrade and become real dangerous after a certainly time so definitely look any actual medicines up before you use them.

Yeah this is all hygienically sealed bandages and poo poo, it's such a waste. This is out of a single first aid kit, there are ten in total to be checked:

Chap at work got a Jordan Petersen book on his desk because he "likes how he puts the feminists in their place". He's already getting the wall for being in the Masons, so at least now he'll have something to read while he stands in the queue.

Edit: Christ, and another one has something by Mick Hume. Isn't he also a piece of poo poo?

If the UK doesn't bother with border checks the day after Brexit, presumably that would mean plenty of illegal immigrants finding it suddenly remarkably easy to get into the UK

Bear in mind the ‘border checks happen in France’ arrangement would almost certainly cease as well. The Calais “jungle” would immediately decamp to the UK.

My local Chinese has started doing a £12 salt and chilli sharing box, which is a medium pizza box filled with battered squid, chicken wings, ribs, battered chicken pieces, doner meat and chips all coated in chilli and garlic salt, along with two big pots of whatever sauce (one satay and one black pepper please). It’s so full they tape it closed with parcel tape and my wife, my giant friend and I only just finished one between the three of us. It’s amazing. You do feel like you’ve gone three rounds with the salt vampire afterwards though.

Turning Point distances itself from right-wing group with same name.

Ah right. Heh.

Anyway, with a credit card are your repayments always plus interest or is that only it you're repaying late?

Interest will be charged on a fixed specified date and if you pay off the balance before then you get charged no interest.

My credit rating is shite because I’ve never had anything on credit. I discovered this many years ago when I tried to order something from next online and for some reason the site wouldn’t let me pay upfront and forced me into trying to open a credit account.

If that happens and then their website crashes and then what you were buying turns up anyway and you discover they went ahead opened the credit account without permission you can write to them explaining their breach of the Consumer Credit Act and you end up with a free coat and shoes and an apology.

I wandered off for 6 days and there are 2000 posts to read. Can someone summarise the last 50 pages for me? I assume it's mostly "Jam = good, May = bad", but if there's any particularly fun poo poo I've missed i'd be curious.

And yes, I am too lazy to do it myself.

Corbyn is still Hitler and Nazi pug man is a hero of the Jewish people.

Rachel Riley and JK Rowling are starting a new centrist party.

Much as I hate to subscribe to NIMBYism I have to say after reading her "seeing a severed head in a bin didn't faze me because he was an enemy of Islam" her coming back to Britain doesn't pass the "would you want her living next door to you" test because I definitely loving wouldn't. On the other hand, can you imagine having a stupid decision you made at fifteen dictate the course of your life? Who wasn't a loving moron at fifteen?

A guy in our business is leaving and just came to say thanks for the help and support I have given him over the past couple of years, and for all the conversations we've had about things other than work. His parting comment was "see you on the barricades, comrade". I got one!
