The joke is some chancer interior designers probably told him those cheap totchkes are real gold and he believed them. Who's gonna tell the Emperor he has no clothes? Not Fox that's for sure.

Your regular reminder that fictional characters are not real.
Thank you for your attention to this matter

We live in hope. Also, he's not a real person.

I look forward to years of legal wrangling to determine what constitutes "a sandwich". I mean is a burger a sandwich? A hot dog? A bagel? Would a felafel wrap or a taco count or would they be deemed un-American terrorists?

"I hate repetitive news headlines" he is quoted as saying. "They are repetitive and I hate having to read the same headline two or three times before I get to the actual story."

People that treat their faith like a set of rules EVERYONE has to obey are the worst. Ignore, block and move on.

#fluidlinks Assuming a total reboot. What one major change would you make to Doctor Who?
(You can take that to mean the show, the format or the character or all three)

THANK YOU! This has annoyed and puzzled me since I first saw the film. The talking Action Man I owned as a kid had a perfectly ordinary voice. I assume it was over dubbed in post because the boom mic couldn't pick up the actual voice. But why choose what sounds to me like a woman's voice?

I always bought and wore a poppy to remember my grandfather, who was a WWII P.O.W. I don't live in the UK anymore so I'm appalled but not surprised to hear the flag shaggers have appropriated it. I wouldn't display one now for that reason and, if challenged, I'd happily explain why

I worked in a supermarket once. The manager used to laugh about people coming in on Halloween expecting to buy a pumpkin or on Christmas Eve expecting to get a turkey.
The most soul destroying thing was having to tear down all the decorations before we shut on Xmas eve.

Were "The Band" a group? I prefer combo or, if pushed ensemble.

Pretty much my favourite portmanteau British "Horror Movie" since stumbling across it in a late night TV slot about 40 years ago. Haunted mirror, Scary vent dummy, comedy golfers, Googie Withers! "Plenty of room inside!", Properly disturbing twist ending.
Will be giving this a listen.
