@Timoldland W*nderw*ll

What songs can you simply NOT listen to? They instantly make you skip the track or change station? For me there are only two. Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On Dexy’s Midnight Runners - Come on Eileen The 2nd particularly is so terrible and ingrained into my brain from attending a glut of 80s and 90s family weddings that I simply cannot allow it in my ears.

@FPWellman @Martina @WhiteHouse This is just like those "feel good" stories where a 9yo girl runs a lemonade stand to try and help pay for her father's cancer treatment

@WhiteHouse Amazing. What was the tip for flying her to Nevada to play a happy taxpayer and now Washington DC to pretend she’s an average working person? Must be pretty lucrative.

NO TAX ON TIPS! 💸

On a DVD extra there's the original footage, complete with racist English barman. "We don't serve their kind 'ere! Git aaat 'fore I give you a dry slap!"

@WBarlaam @JPWARHORSE Just had to look that up to see who the artist was - I guess Tim White? Nope, Les Edwards.

@JPWARHORSE Uriah Heep has entered the chat

These have to be the most misleading album covers of all time

@gabriel_horwitz We did paintball as a teambuilding exercise. Grudges were created that day that lasted years

If you haven't read this article, you need to. Plex sent 120 remote employees to Honduras for a Survivor-themed retreat. $500k budget. - CEO ignored "don't eat the vegetables" warnings, got E. coli from a salad, spent the week on an IV nailed to his bedpost while the retreat he planned happened outside his window - First challenge was eat whatever's on the platter. One guy lifted the cover and found a dead tarantula. He ate it. "Pretty horrible, not going to lie. Those hairs." - Navy SEAL drills on the beach in 100 degree heat. One employee landed on a fire ant hill in shorts. Medical staff had no antihistamine pills, only injectable. They shot it into her butt cheek. - A porcupine fell through a shower ceiling onto an engineer. "I called the front desk. I said, 'there's some sort of large rodent thing here.'" Hotel came, grabbed it, left. - Island day trip. Small planes. They had to get 100+ people back before dark because the runway had no lights. They didn't make it. Stranded overnight, no runway lights, one employee receiving a stranger's IV, all of them in matching tank tops. Nearly a decade later, most of them still work together and still talk about it. $500k couldn't buy that.

reminds me of a story I heard about someone seeing a "man carrying a cane who doesn't need a cane just dropped his coffee because of the cane"

@dieworkwear Got my Solovairs while evacuated to London just the other week!

HALAL CRISPY PANCAKES HALAL CRISPY PANCAKES i nearly COLLAPSED on the spot, had to steady myself on the freezer door (which was misted up btw typical) i said out loud “this is it lads this is the END OF CHRISTENDOM” and everyone turned and listened because they knew i was about to speak TRUTH i grabbed a box and read it THREE TIMES just to make sure i wasnt hallucinating from low blood sugar (hadnt had my usual greggs) and it says halal right there next to the picture of the pancake like its NORMAL??? i said “whats next eh? halal fish fingers? halal vienetta?? halal YORKSHIRE PUDDINGS???” at this point a woman who i later realised was Lucy Connolly nods at me like “hes right you know” (she didnt say it but i could tell from her eyes) then this fella comes over, dead calm, turns out its Adil Ray just doing his shop like its nothing i said mate explain THIS then and held up the pancakes he just goes “theyre still pancakes” STILL PANCAKES??? i said thats not the point its about VALUES, tradition, and also why is dark chocolate everywhere now?? no one likes it its BITTER like the BBC he just walks off shaking his head typical then out of NOWHERE Holliday Grainger is there near the yogurts looking confused as well (celebs EVERYWHERE these days) im now fully in speech mode, addressing the whole frozen aisle: “this country was built on crispy pancakes, milk chocolate, and not reading labels too closely” someone drops a bag of chips silence then… it happens a lad in a tracksuit puts on “Swords of a Thousand Men” full blast on his phone and suddenly the WHOLE ASDA erupts staff, shoppers, even security are all jumping about, proper rave scenes in aisle 7 freezers rattling, someone surfing on a pallet of beans, a granny waving a union jack made out of carrier bags im in the middle of it all holding the halal pancakes above my head like a warning from GOD i shout “THIS IS WHAT THEY WANTED” but no one can hear me over the music even the tannoy joins in “unexpected item in bagging area… AYAYAYAYAAAAA” absolute chaos then the music stops dead everyone freezes i look down im still holding the pancakes and i just quietly put them back and pick up normal ones (non halal probably?? couldnt even tell anymore everything blurred) walked home in silence thinking about what this country has become AND ANOTHER THING why does no one talk about CONSTIPATION anymore??? seriously its like a TABOO subject but im dealing with it DAILY, sitting there for HOURS like a statue of winston churchill trying to push out something that refuses to respect BRITISH VALUES of MOVEMENT tried more fibre?? worse tried less fibre?? worse drank water?? now im just constipated AND needing a wee its like my body has BETRAYED ME just like the crispy pancakes have doctor says “diet and exercise” yeah cheers mate very helpful while im fighting for civilisation AND my bowels anyway think about that next time u see halal anything because its all connected somehow im sure of it SHARE if u still believe in proper pancakes and REGULAR BOWEL MOVEMENTS 🇬🇧💪

@BrianEastwoodx Apart from anything else, what the hell does this have to do with the Lone Ranger? Slap a name on it and sell it.

This Lone Ranger Atomic Bomb ring was distributed by Kix cereal in the late 40's, for 15 cents and a mail-in box top. It was actually a spinthariscope containing radioactive Polonium-210 (one of the most toxic substances out there). A child would take the toy into a pitch-black room, remove the tail cap from the 'bomb', and look through a tiny lens to see flashes of light from the Polonium-210 atoms decaying into Lead-206.

@cqcqcqdx I remember getting this magazine with my ZX81 archive.org/details/sincla…

@PulpLibrarian What did Darth Vader sing when he entered the boulangerie? "Pain, pain, pain, Tarte tatin, tarte tatin"

"What is in the box Reverend Mother?"

@HouseChambers @DoggieLine @SandyofCthulhu Oh yes that's right. I think it's suggested they were discovered or created, and the oil was useful, and the stings were an unfortunate extra

@muteboy @DoggieLine @SandyofCthulhu Although aren't the Triffids mainly used for biodiesel? Also... youtube.com/watch?v=j_GlE_…

That’s the trouble with “gimmick” monsters. You know the type - unstoppable horrors that turn out to have a critical weakness that’s super-simple to use against them. Triffids were killed by salt water. The Arachnophobia spiders only had a single male. And The Quiet Place sonic weapons. They can be fun while you’re still in the movie mindset but once you get home you start thinking “wait a minute …” and it kind of retroactively spoils the show.

@HouseChambers @DoggieLine @SandyofCthulhu In the book all three threats are suggested to be weapons: the lights in the sky, the plague, and the Triffids themselves

@DoggieLine @SandyofCthulhu That’s in the book. We never find out what caused it. Although it’s hinted it might be a satellite weapons system gone wrong.

🧵And we're off, ladies and gentlemen! It's "they're banning the word EASTER" week. Regular as clockwork... So here comes a history lesson and media lesson all rolled into one thread! PS, I can't believe there's no easter egg emoji? This was the best I could do - 🗿🥚 🤣 I digress! 1/19
