Today I learnt that Romesh Ranganathan’s real first name is Johnathan. 

Maybe he changed it as it's too hard to pronounce.

I've only just started watching Line of Duty, and had no idea the excellent Adrian Dunbar filmed scenes as Leia's dad* in Phantom Menace. And was then cut. And recast as Jimmy Smits. 

 

*sort of, don't worry about it.

TIL that in 1977, The Godfather 1 and 2 was redited into chronological order to make a 4 part mini series.

It was available on VHS in this country, think its called the Godfather saga and had the third film as well. I have it somewhere, bought from HMV for about £15. The extra footage and shuffle works OK as a companion but doesn't replace the originals.

I did not know this either!

Today I learnt that a commonly used term (one I've never uttered) is deemed to be offensive. So, basically this is a heads-up not to use the phrase that rhymes with 'game', to describe individuals of varying and diverse ethnicities.

Segways nicely into a second point. I am not and never have been 'white'. I've even checked a colour chart (as I was unsure), thankfully it confirmed my suspicions. I suspect there may be others out there in the same boat. So if you wish to take my lead, I would strongly advise that any individual finding themselves generically described as white (fuck, that's offensive), stand up for yourself and help stamp out this dreadful, endemic and systematic racism. I also have major issues with the terms; limey, pom and cracker. So, please don't use those either. I'm now retreating to my 'safe space', feeling a little emotional. Think I'm joking? Funny, is it? Then, you'd better go and have a word with yourself and come back a better person.

Well, it's never nice to tell somebody that they're "lame".
