lanky316 Posted March 5, 2022 Posted March 5, 2022 This gets topped when they have to go deeper to try and make their tangential bit of trivia actually work. "Wycombe are currently on a 20 game unbeaten run, when they play on the 6th of the month, and the day falls on a Tuesday, while the weather is exactly 5 degrees for the 90 minutes with the wind blowing north easterly. Against a Zimbabwean manager." Quote

They drive me insane, we live on a main road and at least once or twice a night, some dickhead flies up the road revving the bollocks off of whatever piece of shit car they are driving, waking both kids up. Loud cars went out with the Max Power magazines, anyone driving them in 2022 are clearly making up for shortcomings in other areas. Be careful now, I've been accused of being 'classist' for moaning about this. Apparently this hobby is big with poverty-stricken breadline teenagers, and moaning about the loud bangs and revs going off constantly down the A38 at night makes you a Tory. Apparently. Quote

Paid Members Egg Shen Posted March 16, 2022 Paid Members Posted March 16, 2022 here's one of mine... what's with the traditional British Soap viewers obsession with knowing spoilers? I'll always remember as a kid knowing/hearing a specific character was to die on Christmas Day for example, then sitting around with family who were all gripped to see it actually happen. Wouldn't it be a better experience to go in and not know what's about to happen? Im not a Soap watcher but it's always baffled me. I got reminded of it by this article on the MSN homepage this morning: I clicked the link and it literally tells you whats going to happen in next week's episodes. Why? Quote

Paid Members Carbomb Posted March 16, 2022 Paid Members Posted March 16, 2022 It's always been one of the things I lamented about wrestling post-social media that the shock appearance is nearly impossible these days to pull off. I started watching American wrestling in 1991, so one of my earliest and fondest memories of the WWF came a few months later at WM8, with Warrior (the second one, not the original) tearing down the aisle to save Hogan from Sid and Shango. Even though his run was shit, that was a pure mark-out moment. I don't know how possible that would've been today. Quote

Like with wrestling i get people seek out 'insider infomation' and like to be ahead of the curve of what's going to happen but you have to really seek out that info, whereas whereas soap opera's are literally spoiled on the front pages of TV magazines. Regardless, it's a minor annoyance. Edited March 16, 2022 by Egg Shen Quote

Paid Members air_raid Posted March 17, 2022 Paid Members Posted March 17, 2022 (edited) I don’t get this one either. The papers used to be racing to tell you who was going to die, seemingly oblivious to the face that people might want to, you know, just watch the show. Edited March 17, 2022 by air_raid Quote
WyattSheepMask Posted March 17, 2022 Posted March 17, 2022 Is it a modern thing? Or has it always been that way? Like did people know that Den was giving Angie divorce papers back in the 80s? Or did that just play out unspoiled? You only have to look at the last couple of series of Game of Thrones or the ending of The Sopranos to see what sort of a flap people get in when they don’t know what’s going to happen. Not putting the soaps on that same level on the, but if TV Times didn’t spoil things weeks/months in advance, just imagine that but every week Quote
Paid Members Accident Prone Posted March 17, 2022 Paid Members Posted March 17, 2022 My earliest memory of soap spoilers being plastered around every newspaper and tillpoint magazine was when Little Mo twatted Evil Trev with an iron. Not even Trevor's eventual death in an explosion got the same press. Quote
Paid Members gmoney Posted March 17, 2022 Paid Members Posted March 17, 2022 Definitely predates that. There used to be entire magazines devoted to telling you what was going to happen in all the soaps next week. Quote
