I was supposed to post this "TIL" last Saturday but I forgot. I found out another forum member and I have the same barber. We were all BS'ing about day to day stuff and we both finally realized we knew each other, just been a while lol.

American "Chips" = British "Crisps"

My wife loves fish and chips though. One of her favorites. A bit plain for me though.

They have a variety:

Battered: Cod, haddock, rock and plaice
Grilled: Sea bass, salmon and tuna

I usually go with haddock or cod, lovely. Take out and if the weather is okay head for the local park to eat..

TIL I have a new favorite role playing board game. The Witcher: Old World.

I was a sponsor on Kickstarter for this game that is associated with the CD Projekt Red so I have the "All In" edition. The game includes almost 100 figures, as well as 7 expansion packs. After two years of waiting (COVID delays, Ukraine battle impacted it, etc) it arrived this week. My sons and I played it on Friday.

If you are into this stuff, this is a great game. It is also very organized. The trays are numbered to match the figures, and it all fits into one box. (well except for the game mat, vs the typical game boards.

Now if I only had @Tcoat's talent for painting figurines. I may have to buy or 3d print some practice ones.

Man that looks good.

I've been told the best F&C is a food truck that is in a different location each day. It's in our town next to the Bi-mart on Saturdays. I think I'll get some today.
