    Why.... wouldn't you watch it with subtitles then?

    Because I didn't.  Does not doing so prevent me from having an opinion on how bad the voice acting was?

    It would certainly appear so! I was expecting it to be as you described, but the production is good and I thought the acting was very good. You don't elicit the kind of emotional reaction from viewers that some of the characters did with bad acting. 

    Maybe I'm dead inside but I felt nothing but irritation for any of the characters aside from Ali.  The rest I could take or leave and felt zero connection.  

    I get they were trying to make the sets look like Takeshi's Castle and in that way they succeded but that won't make me think it was better than it was.  I do not see the production values that are apparently there at all.

    I found the voice acting especially mostly turgid and the dialogue was forced and pretty bad.  You could maybe argue that something was missing due to the translation but I couldn't possibly have an opinion on that given my lack of Korean language skills. 

    As I say I understand I'm very much in the minority here and if you enjoyed that's great.  I just think there is some bandwagon jumping here with it being very fashionable to say how great it is.  

  3. I genuinely think I must be the only person in the UK to feel this was badly produced, convoluted and badly acted (both actual actors and especially the English voice actors).  I truly believe that if this overrated tripe had been made in English and shown on SyFy (which let's be honest would have meant it had similar production values) it would have been designated to the bargain basement of TV that it deserves.

    It's also a very southern thing to shout "Oi oooooiiiiiiiii saaaaaveloooooooooy" for absolutely no reason.

    Don't you then have to wave said savoloy in front of your crotch like a weird red penis?

    Some traffic lights are set so that they will change to red when a car is approaching and then change to green almost immediately afterwards.

    The idea is to slow traffic down instead of stopping it completely.

    There is one of those near my house which I find infuriating even though I understand the reason. 

  6. I really hate football positions being referred to by a number, especially as numbers are interchangeable depending on where you are.  In Brazil 6 is a left back, in the UK it was always a centre back and in Europe it was a more defensive midfielder (which I would always have as 4).  It also meant more before squad numbers became a thing and needs to fuck off.  Mason Mount is an attacking midfielder not a "number 10".

    The only position I'll accept this sort of behaviour for is in goalkeeper.

    it's astonishing that "walking to school" has become a generational badge of honour across multiple generations. You're as likely to see it from idiots in their 30s as idiots in their 60s.

    One kid got driven to school once in my secondary school.  Stephen Sculfer never lived that down for 5 years.  Good.

  8. One of my first jobs out of school entailed me producing month end reports and ordering printer toner.  The reports took a most at week so I generally had 3 weeks to sit around and do nothing.  One of the things I wasted my time was e-feds, I had three characters. 

    • Jurgen Thor - Norwegian muscle pretty boy
    • Dazzer and Smithy - The Football Hooligans.  Dressed like members of the EDL, Dazzer was a high flyer and Smithy was the muscle.

    Unsurprisingly the company I worked for eventually realised that they could merge my job with another.  I did not get the merged role, maybe IT checked my internet history.

    Fortunately now I'm in charge of the IT department so any reports on people wasting their time on Wrestling Message Boards get sent to me.

  9. That's the one!  I nearly bought one on eBay now that you've reminded me what it was.  But £12 for an incomplete one seemed a bit silly.  Less silly than £899 for a completed one though!

  10. I had a sticker album in the late 80's/early 90's which covered all sports (possibly not football can't remember).  I remember my nan buying me stickers for it and I bloody loved it.  Much like all sticker albums I have owned though never completed it 

     

    Also loved this doozy which again I doubt I completed and probably got binned

    This view isn't a new one, but wrestling isn't the same no more. The big time feel, the larger than life characters... I know that NXT is the second tier of WWE, but the show is broadcast all over the world. I've just seen their poster for the GAB, and the whole look of it smacks 'Live American Style Wrestling' that you'd see at your local leisure centre.

    I know I'm regurgitating an old post but I'm bored whilst doing the school pick up. 

    Why is Johnny Gargano's head seemingly photoshopped onto what looks like his body?  The head looks too big to me, like a caricature.  Can't stop seeing it.

  12. Driving up the M62 on the way home from work I'm over taking a van on the inside lane.  There is also a car in the outside lane.  Another vehicle is speeding along flashing his lights to get the car on the out side to move over.  I pulled up enough to make a three car barricade so he couldn't get past.  Made my day.

    I'm going to this place tomorrow:

    image.png.36f34c6f073414fcf708e80415ff46bd.png

    It's on the Wirral and is renowned for the best chips on the wrong side of the water. The mate I'm going with offered up four different areas to go for a few hours - all over the region - but knowing Parkgate had this open, I casually said we should wander down and take in the view of the River Dee and beyond as it would be great for us both. We could feel the breeze, chat about all kinds and give our mental health a kick-start.

    I couldn't give a fuck about that. I just want boss chips and feel I still need to make it up to you all for that plate of slop I posted last year.

    Leave it with me.

    This place is mint.  Parking is shit though and there'll be a queue in a Saturday.  Decent Ice Cream just a bit further on for pudding too.

    They presumably lost their arse on Mania and the XFL has pissed away whatever Vince invested in it (again). It's not really a surprise.

    It's as shit as PL clubs though. Owner sat on hundreds of millions, if not more, putting employees on furlough or worse. 

    Correct if I'm wrong but furlough in the US basically means unpaid leave.  I don't think the US government are guaranteeing a percentage of wages are they?

  15. However some words not used in the UK because they are insensitive can be commonplace in the US and are used in the mainstream.  Two specific examples of the are the aforementioned "Spaz" and the "Special" Olympics.  No mainstream outlet would use those phrases here but I have heard both used on US TV in the last month or so.
