The greatest talk show ever. Nowhere else will you get Mark Ruffalo and James McAvoy riding around stage on unicycles while Meryl Streep watches.

Yes, the first book is about Harry discovering that he’s a wizard, but it’s also about the philosopher’s stone. You know, the mythical stone that grants immortality and has alchemical powers? The attempted theft of which is a major plot point? It makes zero sense to call it the sorcerer’s stone when the book is…
I just love them throwing around the word “moronic” while arguing that “philosopher” means “wizard” in countries outside of the U.S.
Good point on the trains. Of course, the UK’s train system is better than Amtrak when it comes to people moving. I think there could still be a useful passenger application in America, simply because regional air travel is only marginally better than Amtrak. And with the exception of the Acela, Amtrak sucks.
Exactly! Regional passenger/cargo flights would be a great use of the technology.
but that wouldn’t be an ad poorly dressed up as an original thought.
This is cool, but I think we should be revisiting airships if we really want to have low carbon aircraft.
I’m glad that old people are still confusing all us 30ish millennials with those damn kids. Makes me feel younger.
Even operating under the assumption that cairns are more specific, I feel like you’d be hard-pressed to find someone claiming issue with you making one in either the guide sense or the burial marker sense (other than messing up a trail, of course)
Cairns are being culturally appropriated from where exactly? “Cairn” the word is Scottish Gaelic. Cairns the thing date back to prehistory.
Do people in the US even get the title? I didn’t understand why it was called that the first time I heard of the original, so I can only imagine they’d be equally perplexed. Queer AF would probably be a more relevant, up-to-date choice.
Mary Seacole is pretty famous in the UK, to be fair. We have the Mary Seacole Trust which is a very active foundation, the NHS have the Mary Seacole Awards for nurses, and the Mary Seacole Leadership Programme for managers. A load of our hospitals have a “Seacole Ward”. I think kids are taught about her in the school…
Beans for his tea. Evening meal.
One of those instance where the brand doesn’t even mean anything to the target audience, so why bother? Except to also loop in some cranky Gen Xers who will do nothing but complain about how it’s “NOT STAR TREK”!
It’s only really Germany and Austria to my knowledge, for obvious reasons. And it’s more complex than being simply illegal full stop. There’s exceptions for art for example and though it was largely banned from video games until recently that was down to the ratings organisation rather than being strictly illegal.
White girl ghost writes inspirational phrases on your walls, makes you watch Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt on repeat, keeps putting your dog in your bed, cries when you try to exorcise her, tries to drink your booze but just spills it, cries when you ignore her, fills your couch with pillows and stray cats, leaves ghost ha…
Even more depressing is the fact that progress seems to have stalled and gone backwards in the UK, so our kids haven’t had the free university education we had, will struggle far harder than us to buy their first home, and probably won’t get a state pension until they are in their 70s. So if anybody of my generation…
With the original cast of Freema Agyeman as the junior ADA (which is part of the reason for Torchwood: Children of Earth instead of a 3rd season), future DW companion Bradley Walsh as the Orbach analog, post-BSG Jamie Bamber as Chris Noth and Walter standing in for S. Epatha Merkerson.
Yeah it was basically reworked scripts from the original Law & Order, tweaked to a UK setting. It was pretty good while it lasted.
None of the themed weeks are ever going for any sort of cultural “truth”, they’re just there for a loose theme to hang some challenges on. Prue probably does think of a lot of German desserts as Christmasy, and considering celebrating Christmas is arguably one of the biggest gifts Germany has given England besides the…
