  2. I like both of these! Some streaming platforms have a counter telling you how long the ads are - if we have to suffer ads then at least you know whether you have time to get a drink or not. Having this in the cinema would be great. Pop your head in - still 18 minutes to go, fine I'll get a coffee. It perversely might make more money in concessions. When people ask that "what would you do if you win the lottery?" I always answer "I'd open a small cinema" and I would definitely implement this scheme.
  3. If it's an option for you I recommend only shopping after 7pm. It can feel like the shop has been opened just for you.
  4. It's slow-going but this is sort-of in the works.
  5. Off topic but as an avid e-bike user I'd really like the language cleared up on these things. The difference between "I get a bit of help when I pedal up to 15 mph" is different from "I turn the throttle and just go".
  6. Martin Lewis winds me up irrationally, but his Small Ideas initiative is really good. Send them something small and annoying that is feasible to fix and they'll campaign to get it done. In their words "Small, do-able, non-political - the stuff that'd actually make life better." eg. consistent council forms, standardised allergy labels on menus, fairer car parking charges. What Small Idea™️ would you like fixed? (I'm aware this sounds like astroturfing, I just thought it would make a good idea for a thread. I'm sure it will involve toilets before long).

    He's been squeezing the market that way for a couple of years. I give it five years before he successfully offloads the unprofitable USO clause and ordinary letters will be an 'only best efforts' basis ie they won't happen.
  8. Enjoy this video mainly of Tom scratching his balls, the weirdo
  9. A glorious love letter to Trap Door.

    Is your part of the academic world unionised? Can you get a rep to support?
  11. I'd always ignored the game but based on the chat here gave it a go yesterday. I now have it installed on 3 different devices. Fucking addictive. Just one more run...
  12. I've read your post 8 times and I still can't understand whether you like it or not. You describe a load of bad things (though it looks identical from the screenshots (cutscenes?!)) and then say it's tempting. What gives, Jaggers?
  13. Where are you getting your juicy goss?

    In my defence, I added copious brown sauce after (I asked for more!). It was Wilkin's too, made just a few miles away from where I live. TBH I prefer HP. @Lion_of_the_Midlands I don't really know how I hint at the answer and not give it away. Why don't I just share what I'm thinking about for the thumbnail.

    My journey back from Bath was so involved I'm surprised I didn't toss a ring into a volcano at the end. Hence late replying. And what a lot to reply to! It was £14. It was in a very touristy area and it was near where I shackled my bike which was the main criterion. I thought it was a decent portion. I didn't eat again until 7pm. Maybe I took the photo from very far away. And the 'cauliflower'? It was described as a potato cake, but was quite loose like a hash brown, topped with a fine breadcrumb. A new one on me.

    It was the end of service so I think he threw a day's worth of herbs on it. Luckily I was think chives on scrambled eggs are the best.

    Sexy Plexy and the lardy rack has killed this thread for good but I had to share this full English from Eight in Bath this morning: Absolutely handsome with no beans around to ruin the fucking show. Not even on the menu! Result.
  18. Want to wind yourself up? No matter your preferences, there's plenty to get annoyed about.
  19. Lovely bit of advertising.
  20. We were only metres apart at Wembley but couldn't make it happen! I blame Tony Khan. I've been lucky enough to meet so many members in person, let's see who I can recall: @JNLister @Midnight Zeus @CracktonMoj @$tew @PunkStep @Carbomb @Spatular @johnnyboy @The Dart @bobbins @Hannibal Scorch @Weezenal whatever Ralphy is calling himself these days. Probably missed a handful for which I'll get slated for. And exchanged DMs and WhatsApps with dozens of others. It's an odd little place that I've left for months at a time but when I get back it's never changed.
  21. You can see why Petts and Gamble do escape rooms together. They must be scary. Not quite digging this series yet. Not bad but we've had several amazing runs and this isn't quite hitting. Adoyade 'in character' hits the wrong note. Tapings for Taskmaster S23 happened this week. My opinion on the lineup
  22. Surely everyone gets one, and you feed off the head in front of you? Won't someone think of the poor front row! (horrible sentence)
  23. Some bloke (are you here?) has essentially taken a couple of bits from this thread and made a YouTube video about it I kinda wished he'd asked for more detail because there's more could be fleshed out with regards to artwork, exclusives, Mega Mail, the EU magazine discs, input into the schedule etc. Then he could've got over the 8 minute mark and earned proper money from it. Oh well.
