are you suggesting that her trek over the Helcaraxe was a good idea? Interesting take

I can't decide if I like this idea or think its in poor taste. Stunning cast though.

So I'm assuming the split will be just after the riff?

I once drank some "aged" brut (aged = I got it as a Christmas present and forgot about it for a few years) and let's just say it did not mature like fine wine, but more like whole milk

Sorry if this was your experience, but its a pretty gross generalisation that undervalues both teachers and students. In my experience teachers in State schools show a lot of care for their students and do their best in difficult situations. I remember several teachers specifically who went out of their way to support me through some especially difficult moments in primary and later secondary school. And sure, you'll get some shitty students who say "Eww you want to learn?" Thats nothing to do with it being a State school. Its because kids are sometimes awful to each other. Saying that kids who go to State school have no ambition...sorry, I don't know how you intended this to come off but its really pretty shitty and judgmental

Right. But socks, every use, for me anyway. I'm wearing them all day, I walk a lot, my feet sweat, its necessary for how I'm wearing them.

I've only ever attended state school son 've no comparator, but there is so much wrong with the system and nobody seems to win out. We had such a high turnover rate for teachers because they'd simply burnout under the stress of teaching classes that were too large, too varied in ability and quite often too unruly. They didn't have the numbers or resources to give the time and attention to kids with behavioural issues, and as for diagnosed medical issues that can impact your learning -autism, dyslexia, etc. - well good luck with getting the actual attention required for that. I started school when our infant and junior schools were still separate (non-UK, this is from 3(?)-6 and 6-11 respectively). The junior school had been built in the 1800s and honestly, it showed. We did get a flashy new primary school which eventually combined them but, for all the money I'm sure it cost, it wasn't exactly "state of the art". We made do but looking back it was rough and the more i talk to some of my friends who had a wealthier background the more apparent it becomes. Things I consider normal are very much not to others

Your posts make even less sense than the script for RoP

I think Abercrombie has my favourite audio books, Steven Pacey is masterful at performing them. I usually read them first but I make a point of getting the audiobook afterwards

This isn't film rewards related but since we're talking about the Grammys, Jay-Z really went up there and chose violence with his speech. "Some of y'all don't deserve to be in your categories."

I may be wrong but I thought I'd heard something vague about a HBO TV series. I also agree with your opinion on the movies and I know its unpopular to have 1 and 2 as the favourites. I am however done with anything HP related so I won't be watching any potential TV show

Thank you! I'm just going to take this as a sign that maybe I should do a re-read because I didn't remember anything even vaguely related to the Balchoth

its been a while since I last read the books, so I will admit to looking up Blachoth on the wiki but...what? What does Galadriel have to do with them?

Oh my Spotify Wrapped clocked my obsession with FatM. In 2023 I was a top 0.05% fan and spent 12,812 minutes listening over the year

Once in a blue moon, a troll of such magnitude will come along that unites the entire forum against them. This is such a day

As you were. Alternative suggestions for a title are welcome. Please note that anyone who posts in this thread will be in my debt, BTW. Thank you for your understanding

you know why I'm here

The biggest selling point!

I see, thanks for the info. I'm going to look into it some more because I would obviously prefer to listen in a way that's more supportive to the authors. The books I have seen included with Premium do seem to be the big sellers, unless that's just the algorithm making recs to me

This is perhaps too obvious but its not dental issues is it? I've had dental problems and the shooting pains all over your face are debilitating at times

Right. It is disappointing that her name is brought into the conversation every time he does something controversial or shitty.

Do you know what the exact mechanics of this are? I use Spotify Premium and have noticed I get a certain allowance of audiobook hours per month. I'll admit I've already used the once but I'd be interested to know how it works, and how fairly (or not!) authors are being treated here
