When I worked as a screening room projectionist I screens Michael Parkinson and his wife Moulin Rouge in the wrong order, getting reels 3 & 4 round the wrong way, and he interviewed Ewan McGregor and Nicole Kidman the following day. Don't know if he realised.
I only asked if you've ever watched Ted Lasso, I didn't expect a lecture on how many subscriptions you already have, what shows you're watching on them and that you don't want to be paying for yet another subscription. A simple "No, I haven't actually" would have sufficed.
Has anyone ever learnt anything through a Louie Theroux documentary or are they all just passively staring at something we already know is perturbing while looking a bit perturbed?
@MetalPirateAhoy@fesshole You can hold the cork near enough in place and let the gas seep out through a tiny gap. Once the pressure is released you can let go of the cork. Its much easier doing that than trying to turn the cork whilst holding it in place.
I'm a sommelier and was trained to open a bottle of champagne silently. They taught us that it should be "as quiet as a lady's fart." Fuck that. I love the sound of a loud bottle pop so I open it as loudly as I can.
On British TV news, all American politicians, especially That One, should be overdubbed by an actor and accompanied by subtitles. We must stop seeing them as our eccentric English-speaking cousins, and instead as a dangerous foreign state.
@fesshole I was quite happy Teddy Sheingham extended his career in the Premier League as it meant I still had a chance*. Once he retired that chance was gone as I wasn't going to break into the Premier League as the oldest player.
*well apart from also being shite at footie.
My age moving on year after year worries me, it's now at the ripe old age of 40 that I know I will not be signed as a professional footballer, perhaps only on an emergency loan now.
@anon_opin Companies don't seem to give a toss about their call centre staff. If they did they'd be properly resourced rather than permanently "receiving a higher than expected volume of calls"
Ringing a call centre with the sole intention of ruining the day of the employee who answers? Prize cunt. No exceptions. You've got a complaint. You're angry. The staff member on minimum wage is trying to help you. Don't be a bullying cunt.
Recently been clearing out my late dad's house and found his, frankly vast, porn collection. It is so meticulously catalogued and organised I don't have the heart to get rid and now I need to find an excuse for why we need an extra shed
(📢) All right, it's time for the big question. Comment section is reopened for this one. Here we go.
Assume Trump is playing 18 holes on a golf course he's never played before and has only one ball with him. He cannot cheat. No caddie, no cart, no mulligans. What does he shoot?
I once did such a gargantuan shit on a plane that I couldn't flush it and the water was reaching the top of the bowl. Obviously I did the responsible thing and returned sheepishly to my seat.
Massive Oasis fan since I was a kid. Finally got the chance to see them this summer. Got blackout drunk and don't remember a thing. Been telling people who ask that it was the best night of my life. Secretly gutted.
