I think it also has something to do with believing that the monarch should or shouldn’t be head of the Church of England. But yeah, pro-establishment, definitely.

Well, that’s what I heard!

Ghostbusters.

It’s a good thing that it’s socially unacceptable, at least when applied to people, or as a pejorative generally.

It’s still a potentially useful word though in other contexts, eg to inhibit the spread of fire. That’s a different pronunciation, of course.

Seems to be settled that he didn’t cover it, but damn, I wish he had. Would love to hear that.

I wonder if people are getting mixed up with Cohen’s song, The Partizan.

Quite a few:

• Underworld
• Chemical Brothers
• Beastie Boys
• Black Grape
• Puressence
• Songhoy Blues
• Pulp
• Alabama 3
• Jim White
• Portishead
• Beth Gibbons (of Portishead, but solo)
• Kog and the Zongo Brigade

Probably a few others :-)

Easy solution for that, you fire the earth portal on a wall inside some sort of specially constructed airlock.

That hard part would be getting the moon portal in a useful place, you’d probably need to go up there and find a good solid cliff face or something. On the plus side having done that you could be home again in a few seconds.

Scottish one here - Soor Plooms

And, in true Scottish tradition, they were apparently named as a result of an incident involving killing some English people. Not heard that before, but then I’ve never looked.

Either way, they’re delicious 😁

Arrested Development, Always Sunny, and Archer for me. Always reliable when you just want half an hour of laughs. Although I do then tend to get drawn into yet another full rewatch.

Maybe something to do with Scientology? There’s that whole thing about Lord… whatever… (Veenu?) dropping souls into Hawaiian volcanoes.

No idea - all I remember is my dad almost crying with laughter as he told me about it 😁

I remember a story my dad told me about a guy at his work who didn’t really know how to use Excel, and so had dragged the cell and column spacing out in order to have one huge cell, in which he typed all of his calculations - which he did manually with a calculator before typing them all longhand into his giant cell 😁

Who knew that dying my brown hair blonde without using bleach could be so dangerous?

A pint. Preferably of a nice cold lager, but I’m open to suggestions.

I think that does change things.

I was previously inclined towards something like, “He’s your brother, and I would try and say to him that while you disagree with him as fully as it’s possible to, you will still be there because he’s your brother, and that still means something to you” or similar. Something that might get him to understand that this isn’t easy for you.

However, if you were already at his actual wedding, and this is just a party in another country, nah - tbh, I think it’d be fair to give it a miss even if he wasn’t being a Nazi apologist.

Lost in the Movies - fewer than 10k subscribers, but he deserves so many more.

His work is generally on movies and TV, usually with a more art house feel.

His major piece of work though is his 30-40 part video series (and also podcast/blog) on Twin Peaks.

None of your, “Here’s the explanation of EVERYTHING,” nonsense here though.

Instead he looks at the show, its characters and its arcs with a contemplative eye, picking out interesting visual and narrative parallels, examining the show and film as a piece of art rather than as a puzzle to be ‘solved’.

It’s exceptional and it mystifies me that it’s not more well known. He’s been doing it for about ten years now I think. If you’re a Peaks fan, it’s an absolute must IMO.

It’s worth the laugh track 😁

Not even Father Ted?

I imagine there will be a large number of people who’s first step is to futility off themselves everyday.

Possibly, although from their point of view (and going by GD rules), they would wake, kill themselves and then immediately wake again.

So, after a while of trying that, it might make more sense for them to try and make the days feel as long as possible to delay that waking up moment.

Conversely, I still sometimes refer to DVDs, Blu Rays and even streaming media as “videos”.

Which is both anachronistic, but also technically correct.
