It's an interesting question... until not many years ago, you couldn't even be a police officer in the UK if you had visible tattoos.

I believe the rule now is they can't be "inappropriate" if visible.

Usual animal reasons - staking claim to their bit of owlish territory, finding a mate, sounding an alarm...

What could possibly go wrong 🤦🏻‍♂️

This was very much the previous Labour government as well though - attempted ID cards, restricted what you could photograph or film, made it illegal to not disclose a password when asked by police and so and on

A **great ** pension would be index linked...

It's probably due to the word batard in French meaning something of a dual nature or dubious origin (and can therefore also be used for our more usual use of the word bastard).

As the bastard, or hand a half, sword is halfway in length between the single handed long sword and the two handed great sword and could be used either way. The French specifically call it an epee batard and IIRC correctly there's a type of French bread called a batard which is like a hybrid of a loaf and a baguette.

Great game with very emotional storytelling.

For those that remember the late TotalBiscuit, it was his favourite game.

Cranking...

I used to take an antihistamine called loratadine before bed and it started giving me horrendous nightmares, so yes meds can definitely affect dreams. Doc moved me onto a nose spray called Avamys and they went away (and the spray was more affective anyway)

Probably a Hardy Boys book, I used to devour those as a pre-teen.

That trio of French films that came out in the last few years, the two musketeer ones and the third one Count of Monte Cristo... the latter is one of my favourite films, so well made and acted.

I agree but:
