Guest Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 They discovered their family connection during a "Who Do You Think You Are?" rip-off show that Ant & Dec did in the last few years. Josh Widdecombe gets ancestry dating back to Henry VIII, Declan Donnelly gets Dixie Carter. Some might say she nearly killed Impact, but she's never yet beheaded anyone.

deathrey Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Today I discovered that Bluey is a girl. I've watched many, many episodes with my son and had no idea, I've obviously not been paying much attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Thesz Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 That Sweep, from Sooty show fame comes from a large family. Why his parents dress the way they do will puzzle me until my final day. https://www.thepoke.co.uk/2019/01/30/sooty-sweep-extended-family-best-thing-seen/?fbclid=IwAR1cMqUszDVJ29uvbZZgoxY38VDxKY2ADejQdAroaRCIw7eYshNg1rk03Gw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realise until the second or third episode but how on earth did you guys manage not to notice for that long?? You are clearly not giving the show the attention it deserves...

Paid Members Nick James Posted July 26, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted July 26, 2022 (edited) On the Bluey chat, I learned the other day, that the clerk who Bandit is talking to while dancing to the greeting card tone in Dance Mode is Anthony from The Wiggles (Blue one). Might be a random one for most, but we constantly have The Wiggles and Bluey on in our house. Edited July 26, 2022 by Nick James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are clearly not giving the show the attention it deserves... We didn't start watching it in order. The kids tend to just pick whatever episode they want based on the preview picture. So I imagine it was ones where it wasn't explicitly referenced.

My boy is only 20 months so has a very short attention span, we rarely make it through a full episode...... and yeah, I'm not paying enough attention Edited July 26, 2022 by deathrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Healys Chutney Spoon Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Mark Rylance (super actor) is the voice of Flop in Bing (more of an annoying cunt than the entire Tory party) Â Also noticed a plethora of actors and celebs doing voices for Peppa Pig.

wordsfromlee Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 The song ‘Toxic’ by Britney Spears was written about Noel Fitzpatrick: The Supervet.  Maybe.  The song was co-written by Cathy Dennis (who also co-wrote songs such as ‘Cant Get You Out of My Head’ by Kylie and ‘I Kissed a Girl’ by Katy Perry) who used to go out with Noel. They split up about a year before the song came out. She’s never admitted it but it all lines up quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted August 7, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted August 7, 2022 (edited) Not something I learned today, but something I might learn tomorrow/the months ahead - Fatty Facesitter might be going back to school! Essentially, I've been offered a free place on a course my company already runs as part of it's training school. It specialises in a different side of the industry I work in, but it would give me a qualification that I don't already have and one I would love to get my hands on. It's part time and over quite a long period - 18 months - and although that sounds like a long time, it's actually quite workable for me and my schedule, and means I can probably manage it despite working a pretty hectic role (and the 18 months will fly by - in my line of work that comes round so quickly, you could pass wind and six months could go by). The only thing holding me back at the moment is that I was a pretty average academic type. Not a total car crash at literacy, but absolutely diabolical at numeracy, average at media studies and a serial offender for a late submission at college and university. This might sound irrational but I'm absolutely terrified at the prospect of being a student again, even if it’s in a remote setting rather than being in a physical classroom (the whole course is remote/online). I'm 34 this winter and it's been 11 years since I submitted my final university papers or sat any kind of exam. So for any mature learners out there - how do you do some of the basic things like organising your notes? What's the most effective way you revise and how did you retain the relevant information in spite of what else you have going on in your lives? Similar to the above, if there are any teachers/education gurus lurking here, any advice you can dispense would be much appreciated, or any words of encouragement to assure me that old dogs can indeed learn new tricks. I've got until November to make a firm commitment - it's going to eat into my personal time and it probably means an extension of my working hours - if I go through with it, it's going to look really poor if I tap out halfway through. But it does look really interesting and get the physical qualification would be massive validating for me personally and professionally. Edited August 8, 2022 by Fatty Facesitter Already editing posts for errors - Proof I’m a shite academic.

hallicks Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 TIL that by using the gravity of Jupiter to increase its speed, the Voyager spacecraft reduced the speed of Jupiter’s orbit around the Sun, by one foot per trillion years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
