@pitchblacksteed As cunning as a fox who’s just been appointed professor of cunning at Oxford University

To many of us, #Blackadder is part of every day parlance. Which phrases from the show do you use yourself and when you do you use them? Example: When someone offers me a cup of tea, I say: "Yes, immediately!" You get the idea. Will RT the best ones.

@susie_dent I wonder if you could assist. Is there a word/name for the self-satisfied smugness evident in sports commentators’ voices when they remark upon an assumed prediction which comes true, often using phrases such as “And there it is!” or “That’s what they can do!”? Thnx

@kazzaloveslife Bush juice

What is he drinking?

@WG_RumblePants Brilliant footage WG. Nice music, too. I’m always fascinated by the batting & bowling techniques, compared with modern days.

There’s a lot of really fascinating silent footage of Silver Age cricket (1918-1939) available online, which I suspect hardly anyone ever watches. So I’ve edited together some of the Jack Hobbs footage and set it to music of the era. I’m pretty pleased with how it’s turned out.

@sharrond62 In retaliation, when American Foolsball is played over here, they should play for 90 mins (not 60) with only a 15-minute break halfway through, limited ‘subs’ (none of that offence/defence rubbish, just play!) & no timeouts. That’ll buckin’ show em! I’ll do basketball next!

Umm what do we think to this? 👇🏼

@PadraigBelton Other standard comparisons for size: Mini/small car Elephant Double decker bus ‘Olympic sized’ swimming pool (but good effort)

I write for British newspapers. The only valid units of measurement are: Wales, swimming pools, football pitches. Fight me.

@DailyMail Where’s the halfway point of a giraffe? Standard unit for that size is actually a Mini/small car. Anything bigger and we use elephants, double decker buses or Olympic sized swimming pools. Please read your ‘Standard Compendium of General Comparisons, Vol.1 - Size’.

@PadraigBelton Where is the halfway point of a giraffe?

@anon_opin Yes I can.

You cannot call yourself a fan of a music genre if you only listen to artists from 20/30 years ago and have no knowledge of current artists of that scene.

@cjd11 @TheStingisBack I suppose we had The Day After Tomorrow which was close.

@ChiefGolfCat @TheStingisBack We're really missing an ultra-serious Funnel Cloud to go along with Twister. That would have completed the set.

Volcano Wars — Thread In 1997, two volcano movies went head-to-head like rival pyroclastic flows: Dante’s Peak vs Volcano Rushed shoots, brutal budget cuts, dirty studio tricks, and total panic as both films raced to beat each other to the screen Let’s dig into the madness 1/

@cjd11 @TheStingisBack Yes! Precisely. Volcano & Armageddon for me.

@ChiefGolfCat @TheStingisBack Very much a Deep Impact/Armageddon scenario. The more serious and scientific movie is the better film, but it's also less fun than the ridiculous over the top disaster flick. Volcano got way more watches in my house growing up, exactly because of how silly it is.

@TheStingisBack Exactly. Volcano, The Fugitive, Men In Black. Same guy. But we love him like that! 😆

@ChiefGolfCat There's a moment in Volcano (I think it's post 11 in the thread) when TLJ points at Anne Heche and says "You okay?" and it's like she's being court marshalled. There's no warmth in it, yet he absolutely makes it work because, you know... he's Tommy Lee Jones.

@DiaryofaSickGrl Good. Yourself? or Yeah I’m fine. How are you doing?

How do you respond to “how are you?”

@HeatherBo63 Same. Only found out when I read Enya’s post

I genuinely had no idea that Moyà was Enya’s sister. 🤦‍♀️

@SarahjevsEvans Catting well, young fella.

Howard’s morning

@patronsaintofca 😂 Love the woman hiding behind the coat rack

@FELibrary_ They have to go sideyways to go over the edge of the Earth so they can see space underneath the disc. That’s where the Moon goes during the day & they took off in the daytime so to get to the Moon they have to… oh, you know what I mean! Don’t make me explain it AGAIN!

Wake up! This is exactly what they don’t want you to notice. Artemis 2 didn’t go “to space” at all. It launched, then immediately veered off sideways straight toward the Bermuda Triangle. Everything you see after that? Pure fabrication AI generated visuals and studio footage designed to sell the illusion that they’re floating around in some fake outer space. It’s all a production, not a mission, but an illusion. This is proof.

@Stephen55767497 @Timoldland “Evr’ bahdeh’s daahncin’ in the moonlaht” Ffs! 😂 Are you making a ‘hate’ playlist? 😆

@ChiefGolfCat @Timoldland 😄😄 just put that very same 4 minutes of earache ( Dancing in the Moonlight ) on my list, before scrolling thru the rest of the choices.

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.
