Can’t remember if it was the BBC or The Guardian, you know, the lefty media, who tried to get Dishy Rishi to be a thing. (FYI Media types reading this, if you need help coming up with a nickname that sticks, I’m an expert, available, and my rates are competitive.)

Exactly. Call him Sunak.

It pains me that I know the two that aren’t Rishi STOP CALLING HIM RISHI!!!

@Dead Mike Might it be an idea to redact the postcode? Don’t want wronguns on here (and anyone in general) knowing where abouts you live.

To show how times have changed, I remember there was an uproar when Jericho was removed from TV and fans clamouring to have Jericho back on their screens. From what I gather it’s more the opposite these days.

I don’t mind that as much as something just getting cancelled without any resolution whatsoever. Some shows do a sort of half and half season ending so if it does get canned, there is at least some resolution albeit a rather milquetoast one. But I’m sure that, much like Chest, I’ve spent too many hours wondering how 2 Broke Girls would’ve and/or should’ve ended.

I remember you championing this game and the historical accuracy of it. Hope this one is as enjoyable for you!

I usually have to choose our “Show before bed” viewing and it fills me with dread. If something has loads of episodes and didn’t get canned without a proper ending, I go for that so I can go over 100 days before having to choose again!

NostroDavid strikes again! Quoted from the opening post in the thread. Hey @David did you grass him up?

Good Ol’ JR should become Oklahomo. Mind you, nothing is better than Dr Larry Lovelace.

Is that Vince McMahons?

Excellent vitriolic thread regarding the changes to the FA Cup.

It’s the Man Utd effect innit. Good mate of mine is from Brooklyn and a huge Yankees fan despite not being into sport. He said it’s like a rite of passage going to a Yankees game with an older family member and, like yourself, got hooked instantly! Sounds an incredible experience. I’d take once in 20! Reason I’m a White Sox fan is down to Frank Thomas Big Hurt Baseball on the Nintendo! Loved the game and a family friend had brought back sports T-shirts for us from his trip to visit his Chicago based family. So the two combined made the Southsiders my team! I think The Show lead to our Flips getting into baseball and the Mariners. My partner is a Red Sox fan, she got into it via the channel 5 show in the late 90s as it was perfect post pub fodder. I know of a few people who are Red Sox fans because they’re fans of Dropkick Murphys.

OK Boomer Sooner. I mean, there’s protecting kayfabe and all that but that’s some proper Simpsons “Local Man Thinks Wrestling Is Real” shit.

Posted this in the baseball thread but ain’t no fucker going to read that! Harold Ramirez of Tampa Bay Rays does a Paul Mullin (not a fuck the tories set of cleats) The more sportsmen doing this, the better!

Happy White Sox Elimination Day to all who celebrate. Fuck me this is the worst baseball side I’ve ever seen. How’s your team started the season? A fucking damn sight better than mine, I can assure you!! Heres some wholesome stuff from Harold Ramirez and the Rays.

Haha!! If it was they’d have my vote!!

The two biggest arseholes in the Manchester Mayoral Election (Reform and the independent, utter bellsniff Nick Buckley) both have Reclaim The Streets as part of their pledges.

Pretty sure they did the Throbbing Gristle one Merzbow mentioned and possibly the Def Leppard one. This is the trailer for the doc. CW contains Noel Gallagher.

Have you seen the Hipgnosis documentary? A few of his have been featured in this thread already. The Peter Gabriel covers always stand out for me. So do the ones for Scorpions but for very very different reasons. Definitely the Kleberson and Djemba Djembas of their output.

If Vince set up a new promotion, I don’t think there would be many wrestlers turning down working for it if the money was right. It’s wrestling after all.

I might be wrong but I think Lee even lost out on Asian roles to white actors because the studios weren’t prepared to have an unknown Asian on screen, they preferred an unknown white guy in case the audience didn’t like it!
