Clive and Jill must have the most believable romance in any of the Final Fantasy games. Despite meeting in adulthood at the lowest points in their lives they are constantly there supporting each other.

@helpsheffield.co.uk I'm looking for someone with a Van to help move some furniture to a new house and wondered if anyone had any recommendations?
I'm only going one street over so only really need someone for an hour, at most 2 trips.

Even taking into account Americanisms it’s weird to see the @nytimes.com crossword get a spelling wrong. According to the company (and society) the plural of Lego is in fact ‘Lego’.

I feel being able to stream Final Fantasy XIV over Xbox Live doesn’t get enough positive press. Having to download constant updates is the bane of any MMO. Here they got rid of the whole need for it.

Of Mice and Men shouldn’t be dropped due to cultural reasons. But it should be dropped because it’s been on the syllabus for over 30 years!
There are hundreds of other classic novels they could include, from Jules Verne to Ursula Le Guin.

Would you drop Of Mice and Men from the exam syllabus? The answer isn’t black and white | Nels Abbey
The book will no longer be studied at GCSE in Wales because many find the racial slurs upsetting. That’s culture war fodder, but it shouldn’t be, says author and broadcaster Nels Abbey
