Paid Members PunkStep Posted June 16, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted June 16, 2020 TIL Jamie Lee Curtis' parents are Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh. How the fuck have I made it this far in life not knowing this?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator Frankie Crisp Posted June 16, 2020 Awards Moderator Share Posted June 16, 2020 Even Jimmy Corkhill knew that. Paul McCartney was in the Beatles, FYI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the fuck have I made it this far in life not knowing this?? She and her mother turn up together in The Fog and also Halloween H20, with a couple of little Psycho easter eggs. It's pretty impressive that she's set out her own stall so separately from her parents generally though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Thesz Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 I was born in early November 73 and have many early memories; one of them being a terrible plane crash which turns out to have been the Tenerife Disaster. Today I learned, thanks to a Easyjet pilot who I chatted to the answer of a question that I always wondered; one that when visiting online plane enthusiasts forum seemed to cause arguments. If Van Zanten had missed the Pan Am; even by the proverbial baw hair, then he could even with the 200m tail strike have flown around and landed without the need for any fuel dump. With a full 747 and a completely full petrol load he could have landed; albeit there was a good chance of over shooting the runway due to being so heavy. He explained all aitliners can do this and training is essential in the scenario of a fire on board after take off where the most important factor is to land and await help. This has always intrigued me. As I said when asking the question on specialist forums the ensuing answers seem to cause arguing so it was great to speak to a pilot. Unsurprisingly the disaster and the actions of Van Zanten are still an integral part of pilot training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Edit: Decent boobs, not Some Like it Hot fruit in a bra) What kind of world do we live in where it needs clarifying that Jamie Lee Curtis has decent boobs?

Paid Members Fatty Facesitter Posted June 17, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted June 17, 2020 Photoshop. Well, in a manner of speaking. An absolute bugger going through the course on LinkedIn Learning and I'm not convinced I've got it entirely cracked. The 'quick' selection tool also gives me nightmares at the mere thought of it. But I can now colour in black and white images, warp images, add text in unique ways, and cut and paste my head onto different people/things (poorly) for the lolz. Not entirely sure where to go with it next. Next I might go for the big guns and hit up Microsoft Paint, which is basically UKFF's equivalent of doing a masters degree in creative arts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next I might go for the big guns and hit up Microsoft Paint, which is basically UKFF's equivalent of doing a masters degree in creative arts. My Photoshoppery is built almost entirely on two events. One is a 1 hour crash course as part of a music promotion thing that the DPW were nice enough to send me on, where I learned about the "Flatten Image" function. Before that, I couldn't do anything other than resize, brightness/contrast and add filters because I couldn't get it to save as JPG. The other is the Photoshop contests we used to have on here. Layer masking and free transform being two of the major things I picked up during that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always enjoy these kind of topics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Houchen Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 Today I learned that the drummer for the E Street Band, Max Weinberg, has a son who drums for Slipknot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird to think that Slipknot's drummer is the former drummer for the E Street Band. It's also strange to see Slipknot's bass player playing for them as he used to be in a band called Cry For Silence who I've seen play in plenty of pub back rooms during my college years.

Paid Members Chris B Posted June 23, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted June 23, 2020 Some of you almost certainly know this, but I love it (and I searched, but couldn't find it in here). Eminem's 'My Name Is (Slim Shady)' samples the awesome guitar and bass bit from this Labi Siffre song. You can hear it, unmistakably, from 2:10. Those instruments were played by... Chas and Dave.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
