@sharrond62 Bold move with the current job market.

He won't be enjoying that phone call on Monday.

[Mike Siggins @msiggins]

@osgamer74 Well, you get to assess it.

More constructively, are you looking to reduce or kill off discussion?

Twitter is one of the few places where I feel I can make a useful comment and some interesting angles crop up.

But I also know some posters who don't want a discussion.

[Mike Siggins @msiggins]

@silverlock Yeah, I hate dogs too.

[Mike Siggins @msiggins]

@ARRGETSTUFFED Ohhh. You're good.

This was in Scotland!

[Mike Siggins @msiggins]

@andrewc44104127 Just change all the playing cards in the world. Much easier.

[Mike Siggins @msiggins]

@WizardGoesBoom I didn't know they weren't OG. Where did they pop up? I started with Holmes Basic, and they were definitely in there.

[Mike Siggins @msiggins]

@WizardGoesBoom They are a specialised class and players who use them do seem to enjoy it. I don't think anyone is playing under duress. They are also sufficiently different.

They offset an element of the game I don't like (random death/damage from traps).

I have no problem with them.

[Mike Siggins @msiggins]

@JohnCleese I actually thought he was smarter than that. Oh well.

[Mike Siggins @msiggins]

@MeltdownRocks Style Council.

[Mike Siggins @msiggins]

@zarahsultana Well perhaps teachers should be neutral?

Just a thought.

[Mike Siggins @msiggins]

@Demeter_Erinia Rude? No.

Completely unacceptable!!

[Mike Siggins @msiggins]

@ianamikagautam I know very quickly if I am going to get through. I normally give it a chapter, but sometimes four pages is enough.

[Mike Siggins @msiggins]

@chessandpoker This is completely untrue for me these days. In the eighties through to 2000 I literally bought everything available.

Since the advent of the silly boxes/prices and KS, I have almost halted purchases. I have only ever done one KS.

The main reason is cost and accessibility.

[Mike Siggins @msiggins]

@robprogressive £8 for Salmon?

I think you could shift down a level.

[Mike Siggins @msiggins]

@LarssssBe @PeterOlsson @SweShaggy That's nice.

It looks like a hot rod or dragster.

[Mike Siggins @msiggins]

@DaleVince So Labour have done nothing to worsen it? Or improve it? Or have they just done nothing?

Two years is a long time and I think you have the wrong glasses on.

[Mike Siggins @msiggins]

@NewStatesman From the footage I have seen (and no, one cannot trust these things anymore) they looked quite tame compared to Germany.

[Mike Siggins @msiggins]

@ZackPolanski Oh, are you back to climate change? I thought you had given up on it.

I don't think you have a credible "green" stance. Perhaps you never did.
