Ha, fair enough. I fell off a couple of times, broke my arm. But then my brother has broken his arms/fingers/ankles multiple times playing soccer (clumsiness definitely a family trait) so I don’t know. The adrenaline aspect adds something to it for me maybe.

Samba, salsa, walking, swimming, skiing, surfing, hiking, camping, birdwatching, turning on music while one cleaning.

I’d put money on the author was going to write ‘London, which we all agree is a dark rainy city’, then remembered that UK ≠ London because people seem to have a hard time remembering that, then went back to change the first bit but forgot to change the word ‘city’.

It is a special guitar though. The Unplugged session is one of the most, probably the most, highly regarded and famous Nirvana performances. Really because it was so different to their normal style, and the stripped back nature showed how there was far more to him as an artist than ‘scruffy screechy guy’, plus it was…

My dad said he’d disown me if I married one of the princes. I mean I don’t think he actually would have done and it was kind of tongue in cheek, and that was never exactly something he’d need to be concerned about, but he said it.

Thanks I’m glad people get it because just after I posted that I was like “woah I sound like an arsehole”.

Are you from the 1940s?

To be fair I didn’t know when the FA Cup Final was either. I have failed at Britishness on all fronts this day.

I always offer to take my shoes off, because a job I used to have included a lot of home visits, and a lot of my clients were from cultural backgrounds where that was the done thing, so now I just do it automatically. Though its pretty awkward when I’ve forgotten I might be going to someone’s home and the only clean…

Indeed.

You mentioned David Baddiel and peak Spice Girls and I fell immediately into a haze of mid 90s british flashback. Now I have the Fantasy Football League tune in my head, so thanks for that.....

I used to work with young people, and these days you get training on radicalisation (spotting the warning signs, what to do, etc.) and its all about Radical Islam and White Power organisations, as you would expect. I actually raised this stuff, because I’ve come across it on the internet quite a bit and there was this…

I thought the same thing, I wouldn’t consider it an insult.

This. It must be a constant battle.

Not all. Just a lot.

Oh, Joss. You couldn’t make your ‘thing’ more obvious even if you stamped it across your forehead. We’ve seen Firefly/Serenity. We already know. You know we know. I suspect you get off on knowing that we know.

Ah, you see the mistake you are making is in assuming that these people are functioning and sane, and therefore would be fitting this around functioning and sane person activities like yourself. But by definition someone who would camp outside a hospital for a month waiting for some woman they don’t know to have a…

This is actually why I’m a republican as much as anything. Not really out of direct sympathy for them as current members (nothing against them I just don’t really care, and I think there are enough perks to the life that my pity is better spent elsewhere). More the whole notion that the nation essentially ‘owns’ a…

I see what you mean, but my lack of feeling it should make sense is due to 1) You’re going to have to pay the original creators either way, which is why Ricky Gervais is now loaded 2) Surely with that and the production costs it’s a hell of a lot cheaper to just buy the show through a deal with the original network?…

I suppose that’s the thing with it being Amazon as well. If it were primetime network being broadcast to the TV of you classic 60 year old americans, I could understand them thinking they’ll be like ‘this is weird and British, nope’. But being on a streaming service it’ll have a much younger and more internationally…
