  1. As someone who has edited family portraits, the moment I saw it I could see it was just the best bits of a few different takes poorly edited together, which is standard for something like this because 3 kids in a posed photo is like herding cats. It doesn't help that they also seemed to have changed the colour of some of the clothes It's just badly done, which as Pat says, is more a product of its time with newer royals doing their own thing (official photos never would have come straight from the royal. They would always be via the press office, who are there to catch and manage these things which is why this very rarely happens in the past) The AP shouldn't have published it. They have very very strict rules about editing. You can't even submit a photo with red eye removed.

    I had the same issue when they gutted my team. I listed everything I did, sent it to my manager and said pick which ones I prioritise as I'm currently covering 70 man hours per week and it's not sustainable.
  3. Osprey is in a position where he doesn't need the title at the moment. Similar to Danielson. You can probably line up 8 months of dream matches and feuds before you put him near a title picture. Swerve is the right choice for the title for now and would probably be a fantastic title feud with Osprey down the line.
  4. I could be talking absolute shite but I remember reading that part of the Aussie broadcast rules is that there has to be a majority of home produced content to allow them to show imported shows, similar to the BBC, which is why there main output seems to be reality tv shows that last an absolute fucking age, Masterchef Australia being over 60 episodes a series being the best example. It also means they have very little tolerance for shorter run shows.
  5. How much has Francis made for his 2 fights? I've seen a load of people posting Dana laughing gifs and 'send him back to mma' but surely he's made more in a year than he would have his entire UFC career if he resigned (by a looooong way)
  6. It's just blown my mind that I saw Hogan's last match at a house show in Manchester. Madness.
  7. Today I learned Haku giggles like a school girl.
  8. Hairy Bikers is our go to for lazy Sunday morning tv and theres probably half a dozen recipes that are 'go tos' for me, especially from their Asia TV series. It's very rare that someone who tries to come across as a down to earth, every man, doesn't get found out to be a total twat in real life (James Martin syndrome) but by all accounts he was a lovely fella and I think it really did shine through in the programmes.
  9. My main gripe was they were far too subtle with Kerrys drug use. They showed him doing some coke but, by all accounts, he was strung out most of the time and was a full on space cadet. You really didn't get a sense of how out of it he was.
  10. Today I learned that Jennifer Saunders character in Ab Fab, Eddie Monsoon, is also the name of a character played by her husband Ade Edmunson in The comic strip presents. Both are named after the the pronunciation of his surname Ed Monsoon/Edmunson. A version of this is also the reason for his character in Bottom having the first name Eddie.
  11. I can legit eat this straight out the jar with a spoon and get theough far too much of it. lovely stuff.
  12. Slightly off topic but the mutton pepper fry in the Dishoom cookbook is one of the best curries I've ever made.
  13. I hope they have good security, because if anything happens to that lot, panto season is fucked.
  14. He lives in my home town in North Wales and is always in the pub. Never to the extent he was years ago but he's certainly not tee total.
  15. Got to have been booked by someone off here.
  16. Everything that doesn't work is something they've tried to introduce to freshen it up. The slow mo, the digital crash zooms when they replay an impact or a fall, the locker room cam. Its crazy how well the old format just works without faffing about.
  17. Marvel Comics: The Untold Story by Sean Howe is probably the best one, really gets into the sheer scope of how many bad decisions they've made as a company, the crackpot (and cutthroat mind) of Stan Lee and is built around interviews with the people who were there. They were so desperate for money that they were selling off the rights to their characters to anyone that showed any interest which led to, at one point, David Bowies ex wife, Angela owning the TV rights to Daredevil, which gave us this haunting image.
