I am currently grinding my way through season 5 of Stranger Things, and increasingly I’ve been feeling it would’ve been better to have renamed the show The Same Fucking Things.

I hadn’t seen any news today so probably a bit behind with this, but am proud to announce that before he died my grandad gave me his WW2 medals which means I stormed the beaches of Normandy on D Day.

Just started watching season 5 of stranger things and I’m probably very late to the party but I’d like to confirm that all the 25-30 year old teenagers are jolly convincing

Just went to text “do you want anything from the bar” to my wife while not really looking at my thumb or the screen, thankfully noticed before I hit send that autocorrect had changed it to “do you want anything glutton gut bag”

Maybe losing bookings is something that should be easily foreseeable if you change your venue’s name from “The Beloved National Icon Center” to “The Racist Pedophile and Beloved National Icon Center”

I’ve been to both old and new Wembley for both football and gigs.

Old Wembley for football was best. New Wembley for a a gig was worst.

I posted earlier about my favourite moment of Jaws being a change in Robert Shaw’s expression during the USS Indianapolis monologue.

Three more favourite world-class non-verbal acting moments:
My favourite film is Jaws. My favourite scene is the USS Indianapolis monologue. My favourite line is “sometimes the shark he’d go away… sometimes he wouldn’t go away”. The shift of expression half way through that line is my favourite 0.2 seconds in movie history.

Plagiarism is bad? Change a few words, that shit is yours. It's like when you change a baby's clothes- new baby. New baby that's yours now.

I’d avoided seeing the trailer for the new animated Animal Farm until just now, and if anything it looks even less faithful to the source material than the version my mate had on VHS in the 1980s

The task was failed for me by somebody next to me announcing the result during the first half.
I am at the football today at the same time as the F1 is on.

I am determined to remember to stay offline afterwards and not spoil the F1 result before I get home and watch it.

I will not remember to stay offline afterwards and will spoil the F1 result before I get home and watch it.

At school in our French textbooks there was a character called Monseieur Painchaud. It literally translates to “Mr Hotbread”. But. Oh boy. There were a lot of kids in my school of Indian heritage. Words cannot even begin to describe how funny this name was for them. iykyk

I can honestly say I have never wished for anyone to shit themselves to death live on tv while in the middle of a World Cup draw.

Sorry not have, had.
