Our Lidl had them last year, and we got some (dunno, maybe piloting them?)

My absolute favourite part of GoT mecahnics was using the wind as a satnav. Just the appropriateness and subtlety was delightful.

Damn haven't played it since I upgraded to a Ps5 earlier this year and now I'm hankering again.

How good is it? GoT is one of my favourite pieces of media ever, just a beautiful thing, so my anticipation is high.

I think my first week as PR advisor to the Royal Family has gone really well. High point was definitely my excellent plan to make all that nasty Epstein stuff go away. We'll never hear about that again.

Now for a big swig of coffee and pop the radio on to catch the news

Watson! Try this, I've been making my own cheese.

Mmm. Intriguing Holmes, I'm getting the nuttiness I'd associate with Swiss cheeses, bit there's a delightful citrus overtone.

Yes! It's a lemon emmental my dear Watson.
