I wish that I could go back a few days and not have slept with my ex. It was a lot of semi-drunken fun at the time, but such a bad idea just eight weeks out of a traumatic break-up. Stupid hormones! Yep, definitely blaming the hormones…

Goldeneye? And considering that butt belonged to Famke Janssen: yowsers.

It's a bad movie, but your comment did make me think of this scene: https://youtu.be/Ly2BQv9K6F…

I was in a charity shop on Saturday, and saw a Lostprophets album at the front of the CD rack. Rather than get into a discussion with the sweet-looking old dear on the cash register regarding the merits of having a CD written and recorded by a pedophile on full display, instead I moved it to the back of the rack.…

I think this line of thought is borne out by the 'VW' symbol thing, that very briefly took hold as a craze/fashion statement in my hometown. Of course, no-one knew the background or the reference: primarily Run DMC wearing Mercedes symbols on more elegant gold chains, irrevocably blending together the imagery of…

I think this one was tackled in the liner notes to "Sounds of Science": they wrote a bunch of goof tracks for this record, and after "Fight For Your Right" was remixed (without their knowledge) and became a hit, they were surprised when fratboy jock douchebags started turning up at their shows en masse. After that,…

I read an interview with Alan Rickman, where he discussed having clashes initially over Hans Gruber's costume: the production team wanted the terrorists to be in black coveralls, including Gruber. Rickman argued that he should be in a Savile Row suit instead, so that he could meet John McClane - this otherwise…

Being left-handed - and so an inveterate smudger - I can only heartily endorse IV's review of the Stabilo 88. They truly are the shit: the only pen I've ever found that looks makes my handwriting or copperplate look like it was written with a 'proper' ink pen (rather than a throwaway ballpoint piece of garbage), but…

Dammit, I thought Elvis Costello had a monopoly on the word…

Green Shirt by Elvis Costello and The Attractions: "'Cuz somewhere in the quisling clinic there's a short-hand typist taking seconds over minutes" was the first one that came to mind.

I would suggest phrasing it as a question - that you are seeking consent, and keeping it more formal in a fun way - and using decidedly non-sexual or non-gender specific terms. For example:

Quisling!

Jeez, was that the wrong Youtube comments section to skim through…

Weighed against listening to Kendra's wonky cod-African accent during Season 2 (it's down there with John Malkovich's 'Rooskyan yakscent' in Rounders for me), at least she played the part pretty well.

It's telling that easily her best episode in terms of character development was the one where she was (mostly) played by Sarah Michelle Gellar. Do love me some Eiza Dushku, but yeah…

Spike was (presumably) the only demon/vamp with a chip fitted to survive the massacre at The Initiative, and left to live in the wider Whedonverse: I always felt like completely restricting his vampness made it possible for his latent humanity - and ability to feel genuine love, especially for a human - to emerge.

Damn, I was hoping for a second there that Bruce Campbell had a podcast called Ask Vs. Evil Dead, taking listener queries and being entertainingly superior in his responses. Ach, a boy can dream…

I was a bit late to the party, I'll admit: and amazed that I was the first to make the comment. Truly when you someone eat it…

(sorry, it felt necessary)
