Paid Members Jazzy G Posted July 4, 2019 Paid Members Posted July 4, 2019 I'm a couple of days late with this but I discovered all kinds of interesting things to do with the origins of some fizzy drinks when I was randomly searching for stuff on Youtube on my break the other day. Quote

Moderators Astro Hollywood Posted July 16, 2019 Moderators Posted July 16, 2019 On 4/2/2019 at 8:33 PM, wordsfromlee said: In the final ever episode of Byker Grove, the characters discover that they don't exist and are the creation of unseen characters known as 'The Writers' who plan to conclude the show by demolishing the Grove. However numerous present and former Grove members buy enough time for the characters to re-write the ending so that the club will remain open forever. I can now confirm this is true. As a result of this post, I tracked it down and watched it, and have written about it in some length. Yes, this is a shill, but it seems appropriate, and I did have to sit through an episode of Byker Grove. Quote

It was all filmed in Benwell, which is a rougher area of the city, at the west end, not the east end where Byker is. Also, I worked on an educational youth offending service with Geoff for about a week. Anyway, looking forward to reading this Astro. Quote

Paid Members Carbomb Posted August 1, 2019 Paid Members Posted August 1, 2019 Yep, and FYR Macedonia is now officially called North Macedonia, as of the end of February this year. Plus, the capital of Kazakhstan has now been renamed from Astana to Nur-Sultan. Quote
Paid Members DEF Posted August 1, 2019 Paid Members Posted August 1, 2019 Just heard something interesting. Remember Madame Web from the 90's Spider-Man The Animated Series? Turns out she was voice acted by Stan Lee's wife Joanie. Quote

John Mahoney off of Frasier originally being from Blackpool and Busta Rhymes name checking Morecambe and Preston in raps, because he used to live there are the best ones. Quote
