I’ve talked about it a lot but Discworld made me a better person and that’s a big reason I’m such an evangelist for it
there is a lot of stuff you can read as a teenager that will set you on a particular path, much of it bad
Discworld will teach you to care about people

Coincidentally, I was 14 in 1998 when I first discovered Discworld (and Mystery Science Theater 3000), and both saved my life & changed me for the better.
I had been introduced to LoTR even earlier than by both of my parents.

Can't wait to welcome you to the North! I've enjoyed it so far.

I ended up going to a party at my Awkward Middle Aged Guys house, where I met my wife. We are also now (sorta) coworkers.
Still wouldn't be totally shocked if he was arrested, though 😂

My favourite Robbie Williams fact is that he did guest vocals for UK punk band Soft Play's song "Punk's Dead", in which they viciously mock fans who got upset that they (finally) changed their name from "Slaves".

That I can definitely agree with!
I was being a bit picky, but I really think as a country we need to focus more on the root cause of these issues, and focusing on an individual government's failings (which Key's government had many of).

No offense, but I heartily disagree. While his governments policies were disaterous, EVERY government in my lifetime has failed the public sector. The absolute refusal to tax appropriately since the early 80's means that even Governments who genuinely wanted to improve things couldn't afford it.

Beautiful blue skies on Te Tai Poutini, the west coast today! I don't miss the deep South's constant drizzle, for sure.

All this does is allow someone who's been quote-posted that doesn't want to be connected to the discussion an option less absolute than a block. If anything it allows more debate, as you can interact again in the future.
