It was not that but that is still amazing 13/6

No, but I can tell you that ejaculating on the doctor is not the answer.
Offers of reciprocation also don’t earn you extra credit. Which is bullshit.
Reminds me of the “no homo” greentext from backalong about two guys kissing, dating, marrying, raising kids and living their whole lives together but always saying “no homo” about anything gay. I won’t spoil the ending.

One time backalong me and my now wife were getting frisky in the kitchen. I had been cooking a curry.
Long story short, she ended up squatting over a bowl of milk and swearing repeatedly.

Also if you want to see an actual nice beach then get to know some locals and find out where they go. Tourist beaches are always ruined by tourists and tourism businesses.
The poor getting knowledge for free?! This is America!!!
Yeah the casting and costuming was pretty good for the most part with the very slight exception that I felt Rosamund Pike was a bit tall for the diminutive Moiraine. Apart from that I loved how faithful they were to the characters’ descriptions even if they did go wildly off the rails with the story.
TV adaptation of Wheel of Time was just fucking awful. Like every stupid character change and story change was done literally as stupidly as possible and seemingly with a view to ruin the actual story as it was written.
I genuinely think the showrunners hadn’t read the series to the end by most of the changes they made and canned it when they caught up and realised how much they had fucked the story that was still to come.
Book and TV spoilers
Tower in exile run by Siuan mentoring Egwene who is aes sedai by virtue only of being elected Amyrlin? Nope, Siuan is dead and Egwene was made Aes Sedai so I guess that arc is dead.
Moiraine thought to be dead and later rescued from the tower of Ghenjei by Matt and Thom? Nope, she never got “killed”, and never went through the doorway.
Min, Elayne and Aviendha all accepting the situation and bonding with each other as sister wives and sharing the bond with Rand through their own connection? Nope. Min is shacking up with Matt (maybe? Either way doesn’t gaf about Rand) and Elayne and Aviendha are shacking up with each other instead.
Having Rand kill Turak with the power instead of entertaining his challenge was a little funny but completely outside of both Rand and LTT’s code of honour and especially LTT’s massive ego.
The first one that me swear out loud was killing Uno and making him Gaidal Cain. Like… I guess Uno won’t be leading armies in the last battle then, and Birgitte won’t be wondering where Gaidal was woven into the world as a young child…
Oh god I forgot they gave Perrin a wife and had him kill her for literally no reason…
So many stupid changes made for no conceivable reason. Not little things to make a character easier to write for TV or more relatable, but sweeping giant story changes that make great chunks of the original canon impossible.
I genuinely implore anyone who even got the slightest amount of joy out of the show to read the books. Learn the original and really very good story, and experience Jordan’s writing, rather than Judkins’ made-up-as-they-went-along shit erroneously accepted as passable work.

Like Royal Mail need a fucking reason not to deliver something
Shut up BBC you complicit wankers. It’s not an offensive, it’s a slaughter. You are offensive.

Laughed so hard as a kid after T-boning the shit out of some car and seeing limp off like a sad, nodding dorito
