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!

Wasn’t there a scene that was in the first episode of new Matt that the credits played over, or was post credits where they’re watching Roseanne (I think) and they started mocking a different actor playing a character. The other two said they hate it when shows do that and they should just write out the character then shoot death stares at Matt? Or have I Mandela’d that? Anyway, was watching Mr Mercedes, had three or four episodes left and Disney took it off so they left me hanging. Worse than their historical racism and antisemitism. So moved on to Monk. It’s marvellous.

Yeah that’s ace when they do that! I have on occasion not mention the Pepsi in the trolley and assume they’ve noticed it. Got away with that a few times. If challenged I can always say that I must have forgotten to mention it, your mind isn’t so attentive when you get to my age.

Went to Food Warehouse and thought the shopping was a bit cheaper than usual. Wondered if they forgot to ring up an item or two so I checked the receipt. I’m getting on a bit and use a walking stick but COME ON!! Had conflicting feelings of happy and incredulity.

I think the holocaust refers to any and all groups murdered by the Nazis, Shoah is the term specific for the mass murder and slaughter of Jews.

It revolves around two specific tweets. The first was in reply to someone who said “The Nazis burned books on trans healthcare and research. Why are you so desperate to uphold their ideology around gender”. Rowling replied “I just…how? How did you type this out and press send without thinking I might have to check my source for this as it might be a fever dream”. So this could be taken as Rowling saying that the Hirschfeld and Gohrbrandt studies and research weren’t destroyed by Nazis (they were, and they photographed themselves doing so) and it’s a fever dream to say they were, or that it’s a fever dream to say Rowling is desperate to uphold the Nazis ideology on gender, which means she wants to exterminate all people not conforming to the Nazis view on gender. The second tweet was in regards to a reply to the above. Someone said that trans people were the first people targeted by the Nazis (they weren’t, the disabled were) and telling her about it wasn’t a fever dream. She replied with something about the bible had a bit about puberty blockers but Leviticus made them take it out” The holocaust denial bit is because a German court ruled that denying any book burning is an act of holocaust denial. I’m sure that Rowlings many lawyers would argue the case that she meant the fever dream referred to her wanting to exterminate gay and trans people, hence the retraction. The court also ruled there isn’t the evidence to say trans people were targeted because they were trans. The trans people executed in the holocaust were executed because they were homosexual, Jewish, disabled, and/or prostitutes.

Hopefully prison or a terminal illness. Preferably a terminal illness whilst in prison.

I hope you didn’t damage it.

Watched Top Gun - Maverick for the first time last night. I was grinning from ear to ear from start to finish. Absolutely marvellous fayre!

In Dynasty, I get the option of playing easy when having a solo game in conquest and against the cpu, I’ve noticed there aren’t any rookie challenges this year though! I’ve found on veteran that drawing a walk is far more frequent than last year, and I’ve been hit by a pitch loads! That Jeter challenge sounds like a right bastard though!

I play on easy and haven’t had this issue. I did have an issue with different settings for different modes but in the menu you can set your preferences as default. It’s a bit hidden away though! The challenges have always been of varying difficulty but I ain’t touching those Xtreme things or whatever they’re called!

Sir, can I interest you in our UKFF off topic gold section? I recommend the Phishing scams thread.

Ji-Sung Park walked so I could stroll.

Started watching the vid neil posted and think I’ll try the big three, but I was worried about the schnauzer, had he eaten something hot as he was just licking air the whole time. Or maybe he knew he was going to be an accompaniment to the rice and sauces.

I’ll do it in 10.

How on earth could anyone who has posted here for years think our Rashers (I miss Le Branque) was being serious about stealing a parcel from a neighbour? Jimmy fucking Corkhill.

Au contraire, isn’t it a coinkydink that two senior royals have both recently developed cancer? And they’ve both had Covid vaccinations? Makes U Think (I’ve actually seen this being said and not for comedic purposes)

Does this help? I’m about 15 years older than Harry Cole but he looks 20 years older than me. And of course, he was Johnson’s biggest cheerleader and then his girlfriend left him for Johnson!

Some interesting points raised here, makes you think. As if you couldn’t guess, (Chest is excused) the following is from Joey Barton

That’s kind of how it works in politics.

And a lot of the people who were telling him (and everyone with similar views) to fuck off out of the party if he didn’t like where they were gong are not happy that he has now fucked off.

Really loving this, the pitching against CPU teams has improved hugely, they throw a lot more out and around the edges of the strike zone so you really have some great battles at the plate. Being me, I was absolutely delighted in drawing 4 (four) walks in a single game! Biggest drawback is the music plays during a game in the background and I haven’t sussed out how to turn the fucker off yet!

Really good first season, was expecting worse because it’s a Stephen King thing. An excellent cat and mouse type thriller. However, it’s gone all Stephen King in the second series because. Jesus fucking Christ, as Gleeson would say.

I bet his offence was really good to watch but he couldn’t defend for shit.
