  1. A shrewd move from @FLips there, trying to downplay the existence of a condiments thread in the hope we'd all forget he's a mayonnaise weirdo.
  2. Been throwing at work for the last 6 months during our odd down periods. I'm finding it to be a frustratingly addictive game. Not hit a 180 yet, but came heartbreakingly close yesterday;
  3. Talking about kitchen sinks, the young lad at work doesn't know how to use a dish rack. I asked him to do the washing up yesterday. Half hour later I walked into the kitchen to find four plates stacked on top of the rack, one on top of the other, rather than slitting into the gaps. I kept calm and showed him the correct way to do it, but inside I was screaming Jesus Fucking Christ.
  4. Kenny McBrides old religion thread had loads of bad faith arguments. The faith being Christianity and the bad being Kenny McBride.
  5. I love a burger van pun, no matter how shit they are. Special shout out to Only Food And Sauces for being especially rubbish.
  6. Taiki Waititi hasn't taken kindly to his new film bombing and getting battered by critics; https://www.theguardian.com/film/2026/nov/02/taika-waititi-lambasts-critics-after-klara-and-the-sun-box-office-disaster?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-gb What a load of bollocks. He gives it the 'I haven't read a review for 15 years but critics hate my films' spiel - how would you know if you don't read reviews, you big liar? Also you can't blame a bad box-office showing on critics. How do you explain the countless films that get ripped apart critically every year but do big numbers, if that's your argument? I really liked Hunt For The Wilderpeople and quite liked Jojo Rabbit too, but I've always found him to be a really tiresome overexposed personality. Plus Thor: Love And Thunder was a load of shite.
  7. Might swerve Collision going forwards, huge chunks of it are so dull. Too much Sky-shite for one TV show, and Gabe Kidd may genuinely be my least favourite AEW act ever. When you're threatening to hang people by their intestines you're going way beyond the realms of a wrestling TV show, it's so stupid. Thekla is so good but instead of that raising Skye Blue and Julia Hart up, it just exposes how rubbish they are next to her.
  8. I went from 'adorable' to a 'post whore' in the space of one sentence. Make your mind up!
  9. Ironic that his names gooner because his posts are a load of wank.
  10. Nixon Newell and Dakota Kai, isn't it?
  11. Cruz Del Toro, who might win the 'been on the roster the longest without doing fuck all' prize. He's been there going on 10 years!
  12. That little segment they did on Dynamite, showing historic AEW moments from the city they're in, was great. Love stuff like that. I've got the biggest man-crush on Steven Borden. What a ridiculously handsome hunk of a man. Between him and Queen Aminata, this was a staggeringly attractive TV show.
  13. I liked it more than you, but think it would have been better without Nic Cage as his wacky act always takes me out of films. Between this, Mom & Dad, Colour Out Of Space, Mandy, Willys Wonderland and Renfield, Nic Cage has had quite a bad run of horror and horror-adjacent films. Just stay away from the genre, Nic!
  14. Not just this, but they've shown time and again they can run 'normal' matches next to hardcore matches with no diminishing returns. There was that one Dynamite a few years back where Edge Vs Christian ended with Edge threatening to cut Christians dick off or something. There was barbed wire, thumbtacks, all that mad shit involved. The fans were going nuts. According to Cornette and the like, once you've done that it's impossible to top it. But you don't need to top it, as that night Shibata had the fans going crazy for a sleeper-hold finish in the very next match.
  15. Were you shocked to learn this film has an invisible man in it? That revelation baffles some members of the UKFF.

    Work

    We've been quiet at work the past few weeks, so the managers have decided they want to try and get our social media numbers up and get some engagement going that way. Their current plan is for us to put out one TikTok a day for the time being until we've got a half-decent social media presence. There's two of us in the office who could realistically do that job; me, whose massively out of touch with the yoof, has no social media profile at all anymore, have never used TikTok in my life and averages 30 emails and 20 phone calls a day ; or the 20-year old rapper who uses Tiktok to help his music career, has a fair few contacts in the football world (which our business is geared towards), averages 10 emails and 3 phone calls a day and is never off his bastard phone. Of course, the job has landed on my desk.
  17. They just need to do away with having Blood and Guts as a fixed yearly show. You'd like to think AEW would steer clear of such a WWE-esque booking crutch but unfortunately they've embraced it. In kayfabe terms, it's incredibly lucky for Tony Khan that all of these wrestlers have decided they now hate each other enough to challenge each other to a Blood and Guts match a few weeks before they've got a show called Blood and Guts!
  18. Wasn't a massive fan of this Collision after really enjoying Dynamite. FTR/MCMG and Death Riders/Shane Taylor Promotions were both really fun (Carlie Bravo seems to have come on a fair bit since I last saw him) but I could leave the rest. AEW having a heel turn then not following up on it for ages was an old trope that used to really annoy me, so it was nice that a lot of this episode of Collision was based on the follow-up to Jay White & Friends turning heel. That opening promo went on forever and was boring as sin, mind. Andrade is up there with Jay White for me in terms of being really good inside the ring but they just leave me completely cold.
  19. Sod you all, I prefer Ghostbusters II to the first one. Although I've never been massively keen on the first Ghostbusters. Weirdly, there's a whole bunch of 80s crowd-pleasers that just don't do anything for me - see also The Goonies, Coming To America, Lethal Weapon.
  20. I always refer to a double-pack of chicken breasts from Co-Op as a Bert and Ernie, as one is always smaller and fatter and the other thinner and leaner.
  21. I watched this! My first AEW show since March. It was interesting to see how much has changed and how much has stayed the same. I can't remember if the staging was the same the last time I watched, but I hated it. Those giant screens on top and either side of the entranceway just screamed WWE to me. Tone it down a bit and bring the tunnels back! Mark Davis always seemed to have a ton of potential but something was missing. Whatever it was, he's found it. He looked the absolute business out there. Orange Cassidy is far too good to get stuck in this Conglomeration/Dogs/Bang Bang Gang quagmire, and I still can't engage with Jay White despite the fact he has all the tools. As soon as the bell rings I just lose interest in him. The Mercedes/Marina stuff was top drawer and Mercedes seems to have gone from strength to strength. I absolutely love her. I love Jon Moxley too, but when I stopped watching he was in a run of middling Continental Eliminator matches and here he was in a middling Continental Eliminator match. I'd be happy for him to drop that belt soon and move on to something else. Holy shit, where did this Nick Wayne come from! Funny as fuck, this was probably segment of the show for me. His feud with Greg The Hammer Valentine looks to have been a good one. It's an ideal pairing really as this new Nick Wayne character seems a stones throw away from Jerichos WCW persona. Persephone and Britt Baker is a very odd pairing, and I'm not sold on Maya World off this appearance either. Hearing she was TBS champ at some point came as a surprise. Cracking main event and Ilja is going to have some absolute belters on this roster. Really great show for the most part and they've done enough to reel me back in for now, the bastards.
  22. I don't know if it 'cooled' him in the grand scheme of things as I already thought he was shite, but Jay Lethal being the designated loser in the first C2 seemed to indicate that Tony Khan finally realised he was cack. Easy to forget now but Jay Lethal got the big PPV on-stage debut when he first came in!
  23. I've watched a few videos online reappraising this and claiming it was better than GTA. That's just a load of bollocks isn't it? I always remembered it much the same way as you, painfully slow and didn't control great. The only GTA-esque games I preferred to GTA were Sleeping Dogs and The Godfather, loved both of those.
  24. For years I thought Jericho's Fozzy moniker was Mongoose McQueen. It was only few years ago I was reading a thread on here and realised his name was Moongoose. My version rolls off the tongue better anyway. Moongoose McQueen is a right mouthful.
  25. I'm best man at a wedding next year and have booked the stag do through a company called Supreme Escapes. I keep getting emails from them and everytime I open Gmail and see 'Supreme' has emailed me, I always misread it as @Supremoand think 'what's he want?' until half a second later I realise my error.
