That must have left you feeling shitty as well, but at some point you've got to say "enough".

I thought so. And "The Return of the Burger King"? Is "The Silly Marilion" stretching it? I suppose the "Beowulferhampton Wanderers" is a mission creep too far.

Ruin a book by adding a word. In Search of Lost Dinner Time (I can't be bothered to look to see if someone has already done "The Lord of the Onion Rings")

I did spend my formative years breathing leaded petrol fumes and picking roadside leaded blackberries.

Technology is getting to the point where it's unusable isn't it? PC needs 20 mins to update before you can use it then nothing is where it was in the application you want to use because it's a subscription model and it's been "improved" without you asking. Rampant arseholery.

This was great! Very much enjoying the longer episodes as well, allows more time for a discussion to unfold. Also, ta for the mug!

Rewatched this trilogy recently, they're all great but GB&U is an absolutely brilliant film. I had many thoughts, not least that the man with no name has names in all three. Also I have a theory that the last one is a prequal as he only ponchos up at the end.

I've just realised the hair was his disguise. Ignore the hair and the Potty Time presenter turns back into the military counter intelligence agent. First non SAS man to fire a gun in their "killing house" training facility. Loved Potty Time when I was little, though.

It's just occurred to me that gen X was the last generation who could be trusted not to open a train door while it was moving. This is probably emblematic of something.

I use a Nothing Phone 4a Pro which I really like, but the camera software out of the box is shit. I suspect AI enhanced. The lighter pic here is shaper but looks like a toddler coloured it. The darker one is with Zerocam and app which promises to just take the picture the lens sees.

Donald Trump has accused the Nobel Peace Prize committee of being "idealogues". I thought that was sort of their raison d'etre.

Bit worried about the Ebola epidemic. The years of misinformation, the normalisation of craziness and lack of trust in expert advice have seriously weakened society's response to this sort of thing. Added to that, the NHS is on its knees, especially the laboratory facilities that might be needed.

They don't really add anything anyway. They don't pay taxes so they're probably a drain on everyone who doesn't sell expensive furniture.

I don't want to be a wanker about it, but can we have different autocorrect dictionaries? At least a separate one for Californian teenagers or whoever the fuck uses the gibberish that keeps coming up on my phone when I'm trying to compose what used to constitute a normal sentence.

I work with a Hungarian woman who described a drink I have yet to taste called Palinka. She said it "tastes of suffering" and "you drink it and it takes out your soul".

I might have had this or similar in Oslo, but this at least seemed to have a label from a reputable manufacturer. I was told it was a "popular health tonic" but it tasted like filthy Cinzano.

That sounds horrible! I reckon the name came first. I listen to a small town Alabama podcast and they've referred to a can of Bud with salt on the rim as a redneck martini, it sounds like that 😬

Watching a Waterloo documentary fronted by the excellent Sean Bean, who I'm beginning to think of as "Hollywood Fred Dibner". (If he was in the room, I expect he'd slap me and remind me Dibner was from "fucking Lancashire"

I live in the south east of England, but I'm originally from the Black Country. I still feel like someone from the Black Country so West Midlands must be an ethnicity. Also cyclists.

The Trap Door is wonderful. I had no idea there was a Spectrum game, I bet it was good, the Spectrum seemed to lend itself to eccentric gamery.

That's exactly the sort of thing I like. The Princess Bride does it beautifully as well: "let me introduce a character. What? You'd like to know their whole incredible life story up to this point?"

My last reading of Moby Dick bumped it to my second favourite book, behind Les Miserables and just above The Cunt of Monte Cristo.
