I'm reading The Blacktongue Thief. It's not bad but it's no Joe Abercrombie.

The weather throughout July has been godawful and August seems no better. I keep telling myself it's better than being slow cooked on the continent but still, let me see the sun!

I'm an occasional diver myself (perhaps I should call myself an 'avid diver' in honour of Reddit drama) and it seemed to me that most of the poor decisions were punished as you'd imagine.

I just enjoyed the sense of dread the film captured and I thought the father was a great character, well portrayed.

Wow. I'm speechless. That film is brilliant.

England have not lost a home series since 2001. That seems worth fighting for!

You are entirely right but it won't matter to state it here. Despite the current parlous state of the UK economy having nothing to do with the monarchy, plenty are outraged by the institution regardless, even if it is a large net contributor to the economy (yes, despite the rebuttal video linked in similar threads).

There is a lot of anger towards the royals and Lemmy seems particularly irate.

I am a big chai fan, UK based, and I'm always on the lookout for a good blend. Tick Tock used to make a delicious vanilla chai rooibos and clipper still make a lovely chai blend.

I wonder if anyone has good recommendations, from any source, either tea bag or loose leaf?

The only way to go is an original name that reflects the personality of the dog (if it's a rescue) or what you imagine it might become (if it's a puppy). A dog's name is really important; take some time to think of something original!
