I've had the Earthsea thing on my shelf for about 10 years - is it worth reading if you're a 45 year old man?
I read The Dispossessed recently and was blown away.

Yes it's worth reading. I just read the Tombs of Atuan and it's so much better than your standard fantasy story. World building done properly, though a character's eyes and with an actual point beyond showing off how much stuff the author can invent.

Yes, if you like fantasy this is up there with the best. Doesn't matter that's it's supposedly YA.

They're all pretty short novels too, not your typical fantasy doorstops.

I like bud light. Someone has too.

No, no one has to.

I like it too. In the same way I like the fact that you can get little plastic power tools for toddlers so they don't hurt themselves playing with the real stuff.

Says on Google it's 5% abv. Plenty strong enough to get hurt/drunk.

I think you're getting confused with Becks Blue.

It's 4.8%. There is also Bud Light Platinum, which is 6%

Regardless of the alcohol content, in my eyes it's an act of self-harm drinking anything Budweiser

It's by no means my go to, I just buy whatever happens to be on offer when it's next time to buy a 20 bottle pack of something as long as it's not on the shit list, which tbf only really consists of Carling and Fosters for me.

You're right. It must be stronger in the original US version then.

slightly still on topic , made me smile at the fact it does look like its water he is pouring away

American lager, urgh. Fuck off.

 

[TruXta]

There's lots of nice US lager, it's just that you'll rarely see it in the shops or pubs over here.

Maybe so. I know they do a good few ales, porters and whatnot but I don't drink that stuff.

Cersei has murdered a cat off screen apparently.

(I don't even remember there was a cat in the show to be honest)

Twitter has released emojis for all the surviving main characters.

There are also posters with most of them sitting on the throne.

As soon as it's aired in the UK (approx 2am UK time on the Monday) then you should probably avoid this topic until you've seen it because I'll be posting about it without spoiler tags before it's been on Sky Atlantic at 9pm you moaning cunt(s)
