Thank you all for all your useful advice. You made the mistake of not including "Dark Souls", "ACNH" or "PS5" in your question. |

When I visited Canada I went to a place called Fort George near Niagara, which was taken by the Americans during the War of 1812. All the people working there were permanently in character as 1812 people like in that episode of South Park. I was so enraged that I was pretty close to hopping on a bus to Washington to sack the White House myself.

Top tip. Just watch the documentary called 'The Patriot' with Mel Gibson instead. Whilst listening to the Hamilton soundtrack. |

Isn’t The Star Spangled Banner about the ransacking of the White House? in 1814?
I heard this.

Oh, I finished watching the Wandering Earth. So much nonsense. 40% nice looking special effects, 60% absolute nonsense, 0% substance.
That said, I did sort of enjoy it. 4 stars.

Isn’t The Star Spangled Banner about the ransacking of the White House? in 1814? I heard this. HMS Erebus was one of the ships involved in the bombardment of Fort McHenry in the Battle of Baltimore. Erebus, Meteor, Ætna, Terror, Heron, and Devastation moved up the Patapsco River on 12 September 1814 in preparation for an attack on Baltimore. They commenced their bombardment on Fort McHenry and the water batteries on 13 September, but were ordered to withdraw the next day. It was fire from Erebus (equipped with a battery of 32-pound Congreve rockets) that provided the "rockets' red glare" that Francis Scott Key described in The Star-Spangled Banner. (thanks Wikipedia) |

(thanks Wikipedia) Erebus and Terror were then sent to perish in an attempt to find the NW Passage under Franklin who was incompetence personified as the expedition hadn't a fucking clue how to survive in Arctic conditions. John Rae* found some remains of that expedition showing that they'd turned to cannibalism ... *Rae should have been knighted - not only did he establish the fate of that expedition, he also explored large portions of N Canada |

VM broadband fucked and now Imgur is broken. This country. 5-7 hours I waited, BT does have an issue in the South East of C. It affected my Vodafone and I was told it also affected V Media (neighbour). It's been an ongoing event since last week, some kind of domino effect. patience young Padewan, patience. (runs away) |
