Remember when Covid? 😬

Your image tickled me, because I’ve had coconut milk subbed for chopped tomatoes a few times lately.

My weirdest one was definitely sage and onion stuffing mix, subbed for a box of suet. 😬

I know Wymondham but I’m going to have to look up Garboldisham.

What about Towcester, Bicester, and Happisburgh…? 😏

I really, genuinely, have always loved Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps. It’s got a reputation of being lowest-common-denominator toilet humour, which… it always was. And it had a lot of problems, the worst being that three fifths of the original cast had quit by the end.

But it also had an awful lot of heart. A totally different writing style to any other sitcom I’ve seen. An amazing dedication to silly wordplay. They were constantly trying new things (two public votes, two musical episodes, a horror episode, and a live episode). And there were some genuinely great performances, particularly from Natalie Casey (who carried the heart of the show in later seasons), and, weirdly, Beverley Callard.

Even when it did totally fall apart towards the end, they brought in new cast members and somehow managed to make it feel like a return to form.

Also The Murder Game, a BBC crime-scene investigation reality show that I desperately want the right TV executive to hear about so they can reboot it. 😬

Dude at least use a spoiler tag or something. 😅

It certainly didn’t OD on brain

Like a bunch of people in this thread, I did some digging. Ended up on an NYT article (archive link)

“I have short-term memory loss, and I have longer-term memory loss that affects me.”

Anyway I just wanted to share this quote because it really tickled me. 😄 What a stupidly roundabout way of putting it.

Dude, I’m sorry that happened to you. Those are the things where you always kinda wonder, would it have been different if I did that one thing differently?

You won’t regret it forever, though. It’ll just be something you wonder about sometimes.

since he treats people like trash

And, uh, it sounds like this maybe worked out for the best anyway. Maybe you’ll fall for a nicer guy next time. 😁

This must be the fault of violent video games

Not guns

Nope

Wasn’t that kinda what LEGO Worlds was meant to be?

I really wanted to like it, but it’s already a right-wing cesspit. 🤷‍♂️ Maaaaaybe it’ll improve, now that it’s public, but I don’t have high hopes.

I know this place is just the opposite kind of echo chamber, but when the other option is being beaten over the head with transphobia and Maga shit, ehh, I’ll take it.

☕💪

We’re all baffled, Charlotte

I think you should rename a gulf after you as well. That way the tech bros will take you more seriously

Tbf you’re probably dead on about no one covering it 😬

It’s not faaaaiiiirrrrrrrr [pouts and stamps feet]

It’s a chronic illness. I’d say there definitionally isn’t a cure. Just different ways of managing it.
