We're watching the last season of What We Do In The Shadows.

At this stage, they're really leaning into Matt Berry's pronunciations for laughs more than anything else.

I'm not complaining, by the way.

This looks like a press conference calling for any information the public might have about the whereabouts of a missing child, organised by parents that did the kidnapping themselves

Yeah I dunno man

I always found his stuff to be a snide punchdown at working class areas and people, which was particularly galling considering his family background.

Down like a dog has to be one of the worst ways you can get gunned.

I’ve been playing video games for nearly forty years and the High Halls gauntlet in Hollow Knight: Silksong is the first time where I’ve really felt that whoever made this particular segment was going through a bitter divorce at the time

I only vote for one Steen

That’d want to be a pint of fuuuckin Smirnoff hi

Yes indeed! (He’s also no longer with us either)

Well this is it too! Middle ground is where you want to be :-)

RIP Robot Redford

Absolutely maddening at times

Oh listen, I have a list of names I'd love to give a fucking off to, for this very reason

Hard agree. I seem to be on to a winner here.

I had a consultation at the dentist today. They were very helpful, informative, and above all else considerate. Which I suppose is better than sitting me down and saying listen pal, you have a mouth that looks like a poorly played round of Tetris.

Jesus Christ!

We're watching Final Destination: Bloodlines. If you're settling in for Halloween you could do a LOT worse than work through the whole series. There's a real goofy joy in seeing a household item fall onto another then another then BOOM, someone gets turned into babbyrags

Looked it up and you are right!

Ha, indeed!

We’re watching One Fine Day. Peak 90s Clooney, back when he couldn’t keep his fuckin eyes open. And indeed peak Michelle Pfeiffer, hotter than a $2 pistol. Batman & Catwoman, now that I think of it. Anyways LOOK AT THIS PHONE. What were the 6 buttons beside red & green even for?

Rewatching live TV footage from the day is fascinating. You can see what would become seeds of conspiracies emerge. Throwaway remarks from hosts would later mutate into people spouting 'I remember hearing secondary explosions reported on TV, but they never investigated it later'.

If you have time, here's live daytime TV from the morning of 9/11. Absolutely fascinating to see the hosts react in real time to it all. They do their best to go ahead with light entertainment until the scale of the day just overwhelms the entire studio.

Nut remains freaked to this day

The best part about Bertie Ahern not getting to be president is knowing that he would have FUCKING LOVED to get to be president.

Might not be. You never know how many flans you're going to get.

Great British Bake Off is back. This is it, folks. It takes us past Halloween into mid-November, then the tree goes up and boom, it's Christmas, baby. Straight back into New Year, Easter, summer again and round it goes. Do that a few dozen times and booyah, that's your lot.

If you put your name forward for the Irish Presidency, the first question should be 'have you ever ran for any other political position?'. Local council, student union, anything at all. If you click 'no, just thought I'd go right to being PRESIDENT OF THE NATION', then

I can live with that, and indeed some places have that. Other smaller retailers are confined by space.

I’d suggest a message onscreen along the lines of “this item is not refundable; recycle anyway?”

I’d argue most people would hit Yes.

I would have a little bit of faith in people, you don’t see all that many times where people treat the glass bottle bins as a communal bin so I don’t see why you’d suddenly get lads trying to stuff cornflakes boxes into the Recycle machine
