@StupidNeilAgain @Minaretunit @Eagle_Chaser @ThaiBill2 @doris_from @rogueparliament @BelfastDon @UNKLEPaulTHX @cpj4sussex77 Bit strong, I'm on the bike today. Where's the solidarity between Neils? 🙂

@HiddenYorkshire Featuring Benedict Cumberbatch's mum. Apologies if that's been noted already.

I don't care about the latest streaming slop, i'm watching the delightfully mad and shlocky British 1970s series UFO

@bowtiedbrazil Worst people to negotiate with fall into 2 groups - Doctors and the Dutch.

pro tip after many years: do not accept dutch clients, even rich ones.

Is smashing a window an act of "non-violence"?
In my 20s, I lived next door to a vicar.
He had been having an affair with one of his flock.
One night, husband of member of the flock turned up & bashed vicar's car with a cricket bat.
I watched from window.
It was extremely violent
English
@itaintwhywhywhy Sigh. I'm with you. I'm set in my ways and I uphold tradition so I was slagging off Pink Floyd to one of their die-hard fans, obviously, but it turned out I'd listened to Floyd albums he'd never even heard of, which confused us both. [However: Pink Floyd are dirty hippies].
English
As a child of 70s punk, I have softened over the years to many bands I point blank refused to listen to (Led Zep, Pink Floyd and other rock god behemoths)
Apart from Queen.
I've always fucking hated Queen and always will until my dying day.
And MUSE can fuck right off as well.
Mike Scott@IrkthePurists
Why do so many people despise Queen? I’m not a massive fan myself, but the hatred just seems off the charts. It can’t still be because of Sun City.
English
@TheStingisBack It's 30 minutes too long and that's bad, but it's got Joanna Lumley in a snogging scene and that's good, but the satire doesn't always land and that's bad, but Jonah Hill is ridiculously OTT and that's good.

MOVIES I’VE NEVER SEEN
#14 The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
Leonardo DiCaprio, Margot Robbie
Some call it a wild, dark comedy about greed, others say it was already dated when it appeared (or is that the point?)
Should I watch?
Convince me: YES or NO—and why.

@TonyFelonius @RoseJean12 @GLB_88 Best KFC between Trowell and Toddington and famously beautiful architecture.

@NoContextBrits The worst song The Proclaimers every wrote but the most popular only because of Shrek. Utter drivel and up there with Joe Dolce and Shaddap Your Face.
English
@NoContextBrits It changes very slowly, decade by decade. Hi Ho Silver Lining would have been on this list 30 years ago.

What movie would be very awkward if a sex scene was put in it?
English
@history99917180 @BradfemlyWalsh I've had that twice. The second time I said Nah, this is due to lager and curries. The otherwise-charming nurse said "Well, the doctor will say a few things about your lifestyle and weight, I expect". So that was one to her, no question. I metaphorically doffed my cap.
English
@BradfemlyWalsh Mate, try being a 6’4”, overweight middle aged bloke and being asked the same question. My chin(s) hit the floor.
English
Just been for a scan. Had a bizarre exchange with the CT tech, a woman in her 30s. Could you be pregnant? No. When was your last period? May 2024. And why was that? I've gone through the menopause. And were you pregnant then? Er, no. Have you been pregnant since? Clearly not.

@RoseJean12 @TonyFelonius @GLB_88 Came here to say that. I don't know much about many things, but I DO know about Leicester Forest services. I try to build a stop there into a holiday, which is tough when the boss wants to go to Dorset or Cornwall. [Or Sorrento, to be fair.]
English
@GLB_88 I'm still like that. I stop at Leicester Forest whenever we're up or down the M1. Excellent chance to sit and look at traffic from above, instead of being in it. My partner doesn't understand at all, but it's part of me being A Man of Mystery. That's my take, just fyi, not hers.

@Bromfieldjw @HLC_actual Well, it's a free country. So is Japan, thanks to the Allies.
English
@HLC_actual This question was directed for Japanese. Why are so many fellow Americans adding their 2 Cents?
English
For all our new Japanese friends I have a question.
So in the US we are taught that the turning point in the pacific (mildly debated) is the battle of midway. Are you taught the same thing? Or is it more like “that is when we knew we may have made a mistake”. Just curious.

@thesundaysport I've never understood how my Nan, widowed and blitzed by the Third Reich, managed to transmute that experience into a dislike of West Indians, while being absolutely fine with Germans. She was totally committed to the bit, though.
English
Our grandparents were made of sterner stuff.
Five years of rationing, bombing, loved ones off to war and listening to Roll Out The Barrel 24 hours a day.
Couple of weeks of high diesel prices and I'm like 'Fuck this, it's only Poland'

I know this is hard for Europeans to understand but the calculations are a little different when that’s not a picture of your entire air force

@ItsAndyRyan My friend quoted the How Many Pigs dialogue, with no context or build up, to his future in-laws when they were out for a lovely walk and passed a pig farm, assuming they'd seen the film. Assumed wrongly. Didn't go well. Not the stupidest thing he's ever done, but probably top 20.
