I'm annoyed that the villains are the East India Company, which was pretty obviously not involved with the West Indies

Pirates of the Caribbean is set before the Act of Union but the British ships have modern union jacks on them.
#FilmSky, a quick question; what is the pettiest thing you have had to be annoyed at a film? I ask because I am watching The Gift from 2000, and the main character does divination with Zener Cards, which are not the same thing as Tarot at all. Why go for a more boring looking option?

Jurassic Park 3. The kid who is holed up on the island mentions he has a bottle of T-Rex urine to scare off other dinosaurs. Alan asks him "how did you get hold of the T-Rex urine?", the kid answers "you don't wanna know" and...the film just moves on

specifying arrival time and having a list of what group photos you're doin seems pretty normal... as does having a wedding list in a specific shop or two (doubt they're really forbidding others)
the dress code thing seems extreme
feel the letter and response are v harsh on the bride though

wonder about the cameras thing – many people ask for no photos during the ceremony etc, not because they don't want people sharing pics, but because they want the official pics to have people's faces visible and not hidden behind their phones
also maybe more events should have fewer phones!!

Regarding suitable and unsuitable wedding gifts: when Diana Mitford married Oswald Moseley in Berlin, one of the guests was Adolf Hitler. His gift to the happy couple was a framed photo of himself.
This is pretty extreme, but if it stops the couple being regifted a glass bowl or something shite then maybe it'll have been worth it?
The letter writer is definitely exaggerating though.

Dear Dáithí: My niece's wedding invitation came with two pages of rules and regulations. Should I even go?
This isn't normal ‘bridezilla’ stuff, this is a different level

Is Nollaig na mBan/Women's Christmas more of a Kerry/Cork thing? Know a lot of people around the country grew up calling it Little Christmas, it was always Women's Christmas for us and would have been a day for meeting up with women friends and relations, but not sure that was practised everywhere?

Anyone still using the word "distraction" at this point is, not to put too fine a point in it, a fucking moron.
They are not doing one thing to distract from another thing.

Never has a President wagged a dog harder than Trump and MAGA now.
To distract from Epstein, the explosion of health and homeowners insurance costs, and the tariffs that are decimating small businesses, Trump is plunging this country into a war and using our soldiers as pawns.

Simpsons has been on the air so long that they could, at one point, credibly make a joke where Marge didn’t know what brunch was.

I do think sometimes complex wedding stuff like this is intended to thin out the guest list without not inviting someone.

Yeah but the advice dude was like “I feel bad for the groom” which, sure, but *at minimum*, he’s permitting this which makes him in on it himself

Irish people are too ungovernable for this kind of craic. Or at least, we might go along with it but will hold a grudge till death.

Honestly it's not that horrible, just strikes me as being very efficient/having a planner. Red and blue are probably the wedding party colours, listing shops is like a registry, a lot of people gift money now anyways, and trying to track people for photos is a nightmare on a wedding day.
