Let this be the hour when we draw swords together. Fell deeds awake. Now for wrath, now for ruin, and the red dawn. Forth, Eorlingas!

RIP good king

Click here to see the summaryHis breakout role was in BBC TV drama Boys from the Blackstuff, where he portrayed Yosser Hughes, a character who struggled - and often failed - to cope with unemployment in Liverpool. Hill, who was from Manchester, was due to return to TV screens in series two of The Responder, a BBC drama starring Martin Freeman, which begins airing on Sunday. Lindsay Salt, director of BBC Drama, paid tribute to him, saying: “Bernard Hill blazed a trail across the screen, and his long-lasting career filled with iconic and remarkable roles is a testament to his incredible talent.” In Boys from the Blackstuff, Hill drew praise for his gritty portrayal of Yosser Hughes, an intense and memorable character who pleaded “Gizza job” as he sought work. Another of Hill’s memorable BBC TV performances came in the 2015 drama series Wolf Hall, adapted from Hilary Mantel’s book about the court of Henry VIII. Other roles in his decades-long career included the 1976 BBC TV series I, Claudius, an appearance in 1982’s Gandhi, Shirley Valentine in 1989, The Scorpion King in 2002 and 2008 Tom Cruise film Valkyrie. — Saved 60% of original text.

So she was basically correct.

Bees aren’t monsters.

That’s exactly what a bee would say. 🐝🤔

What if 60,000 of them collectively formed the shape of another creature for the express purpose of terrifying a child? 🤔

60,000 of anything is basically a monster. I wouldn’t even want to be confronted by 60,000 koalas.

If they’re pissed off enough to swarm in the tens of thousands, they are temporarily…

nulluser ,

FYI. The quantity of bees in a hive has more to do with their ability to find good food sources nearby, and the suitability of the place they’ve made their home, and nothing to do with their temperament. That size hive would not be considered particularly remarkable in an apiary. A “swarm” of bees is actually just a bunch of bees that split off from a successful hive and are looking for a new home and are typically very docile. Since this colony had a home (these people’s house), it was technical not a “swarm.”

Viking_Hippie ,

Thanks for enlightening me, I sit corrected 😁

well, that’s one way to get a kid to be afraid of bees.

Poor kid. hope she never got stung? doesn’t sound like she did.

In elementary school, our gym got infested by bees or wasps (don’t remember exactly) and they were everywhere. We still were forced to do sports class in there. I got stung twice and then ran outside, bawling my eyes out. I’m now in my 30s and have a severe phobia of bees, wasps and hornets. Bumblebees are fine though for some reason.

FuglyDuck ,
@FuglyDuck@lemmy.world avatar

Because bumblebees are cute and just want to play?

Sorry you had to deal with that. Your school should be ashamed.

Rai ,

My parents forced me to play outside when I was very young, and I didn’t want to. Stepped on what’s probably a mud wasp nest, and two wasps circled my leg and stung me a bunch. I cried a lot.

Anything yellow and black bug near me makes me MAD DASH AWAY. I got made fun of for a long time, “oh they won’t hurt you, just ignore them”

Like motherfucker I CANNOT IGNORE THEM YOU TWAT

I love fluffy bumblebees though. I still panic before I confirm fluff.

AngryCommieKender ,

Bumblebees don’t sting. They just kinda bounce around. They also aren’t laser focused like wasps and some bees. They do bite though, so don’t let them land on you.

Sirence ,

They can sting, they just mostly choose not to.

philluminati , to world in Rwanda plan: Irish government wants to send asylum seekers back to UK

Further proof they aren’t really asylum seekers but illegal economic migrants.

c0m47053 ,

I don’t really see how this represents any proof that these asylum seekers are illegal economic migrants. Rwanda isn’t a safe country for asylum seekers, so it seems reasonable that people would try and avoid being sent there. If Ireland now appears safer, then travelling there from the UK makes sense surely? The position for “illegal economic migrants” hasn’t changed substantially, as the likelihood of being sent to Rwanda is low. But if you are trying to reach safety, the threat of death or torture hanging over you might be enough to make you consider Ireland

philluminati ,

If the EU is better than the UK, while travel from France in the first place?

c0m47053 ,

The UK has something in common with Ireland that maybe the rest of that EU doesn’t perhaps?

afraid_of_zombies ,

They aren’t refugees because they ain’t white. There does that answer your question? Every single time you hear someone get a deportation boner just remember this and it will explain their “reasoning”.

If white = welcome

If non-white = deport the rape-fugee.

Nothing up the sleeves, no complex logic you can’t follow, no study you haven’t read, just racism as it appears to be.

Treczoks , to nottheonion in A little girl said monsters were in her bedroom. It was 60,000 bees

Had something similar. My bedroom was small and under the roof, and for some time I heard scratching noises at night over my bed. I assumed that were mice, so I set up some mouse traps in the attic. No success. The bait was gone, but none of the traps were sprung.

So, one evening when the noise got annoying, I went to investigate closely. And found a large wasps nests, right on the other side of the sheet rock of my bedroom.

AngryCommieKender ,

This is why flamethrowers are legal to own in 48/50 US states.

afox ,

I have a drone on offer up and some fool tried to convince me to trade for a flame thrower. Wtf am I going to do with a flame thrower? I guess I could vanquish my enemies… If I had any. People are weird.

Mesophar ,

It seems they had the same thought “Crap, what can I do with this flamethrower? Maybe I can trade it for that drone!”

nednobbins ,

The obvious solution is to attach the flamethrower to the drone.

Cavemanfreak ,

Jesus. That sounds eerily like my experience. Heard scracthes in the attic and thought it was mice. Woke up one morning with a dead wasp in the bed and having been stung. Thought nothing of it. Woke up a few days later with two dead wasps in the bed and having been stung. Huh, that’s weird. Then when I woke up one morning I saw a wasp crawl between the planks in the ceiling. Called exterminators and they sprayed the attic. The wasps had built their nest in the isolation and had chewed through it down to the planks… The next week I had hundreds of dead (and a few alive) bees in the room every day and I had to sleep on the sofa…

Drusas ,

Wasps are not bees.

Cavemanfreak ,

I’m aware. I was just relaying my experience which was pretty similar.

Drusas ,

I see. Your wording made it seem like you were conflating the two.

Cavemanfreak ,

Ah, sorry for the confusion then :)

She said her homeowner’s insurance won’t cover anything pest-related because they deem it preventable.

So the real monster was the insurance company. What a twist!

And yet people still pay for insurance, for some reason.

KillingTimeItself , to nottheonion in A little girl said monsters were in her bedroom. It was 60,000 bees

my favorite fun fact about bees and bee nests, is that they actually produce a lot of heat, so if you have a nest of bees in your wall, you can tell because your wall will be hot.
