Would there even be anything to watch? Or would there just be a sudden absence of hateful noise being thrust upon us? (Which I’m also totally down for, but it’s less popcorn-worthy)

My dad swears by this version and watches it every year without fail. Consequently, I can recite most of it (though still have to look away when Jacob Marley unties his jaw)

I keep finding my favourite 2000s alternative songs on the playlist in there and it’s disconcerting but so so nice. I’d love to know who’s making the list and buy them a drink.

Always. Every time. It never stops being embarrassing and painful.

Dining table. When we bought it we had delusions of grandeur about feeding all our friends simultaneously. They promptly all procreated and made that impractical, but it does mean I have a 72” x 38” table that does the job well enough 😂

I’d love if that were true, but the last GE my choice was labour, tory, or reform. Just 3 candidates. No good options.

It’s a series?!?! Nobody told me that when I was 8! What’s the second one called? I must find them immediately…

This happens to my husband all the time. It never ceases to be infuriating. Good luck!

Oh man, my commiserations. I had plans in the works, but that sucks. Reddit seems to think the new Harlequins detachment is acceptable, and we still have Reaper’s Wager, but the fate of the Corsairs is highly questionable. I guess pirate the bits you need, and enjoy your clowns?

Oh, and that includes wiping them from existing built lists 🤦‍♀️

The Allied Units section is certainly gone from the list building function on the app, which is a fairly strong implication that GW want unholy alliances of renegade elves to be a thing of the past. I’m not whelmed by this development.

‘Merrineum’ is now my word of the day. Thanks.

I recently grudgingly went from being the latter to the former, and I’ve gotta say, I kind of miss buttons, and not having to swipe in the right ways/places to find the menu I want. Sigh.

Oh my goodness, I had these as some of my first minis, brings it all back!

To be fair, on the strength of a recommendation from @daievanya.bsky.social I’d probably be in too…
