Series 3 of Blue Lights: episode 1 tiresomely predictable and unimaginative but after that as excellent as the first two series.

We’d best give Hadrian’s Wall back.

I hate Alien 3 because it ostensibly starts by declaring “everything you watched in Aliens was pointless”.

I had to read further down the thread before I understood.

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

Draw it?

When I was forced to sell my drum kit and gig using kitchen pots and pans instead, that's when I knew I'd hit wok bottom.

Shakespeare should be translated and taught in modern English then judged on plot lines like a new work would be.

I reckon they added the extra 1 to area codes just to make that scan better.

Is it me or have all flight-finding websites and apps been designed by morons?

Frauds (ITV) is stupid, preposterous and ridiculously good fun.

Reckon I have two down but after that I’m completely hopeless.

I guess a pet can kinda consent to being petted. But I think the vegan argument is that an animal can’t really consent so taking their wool/eggs/whatever is immoral.

As long as one just says “Merde”.

I know how to tell people I’m putting the bins out and/or going to the swimming pool. That seems more than sufficient.

Don’t all browsers automatically block autoplay with sound?

You claim everyone is scared or crying… and yet you have zero evidence for that. It’s almost as if you just make shit up so you can carry on living in your own little fantasy world where your pet project hasn’t been a complete dud.

Literally nobody is *scared* to read your little fantasy book. We all just have better things to do with our lives.

Went and visited the world’s biggest bit of Toblerone the other week.

That might be the most Haaland goal I’ve seen.
