Mister Merlin?

Whitey's on the moon.

They might just as well give Roger Dean the gig.

I haven't seen the film but seem to recall from the book that one of the characters extols the virtues of a rare version of Shipbuilding without the Chet Baker solo, possibly on the grounds that the version with it, and the Robert Wyatt version, were too obvious.

Given the number of special editions that have been produced over recent years, I suspect that an increasingly large proportion of new monopoly sets never get played with more than once.

In most situations it makes no difference (hence why it is not so commonly used) but as in the case mickeymammoth references above, it can sometimes prevent a critical ambiguity.

I like all these people well enough but they are not going to be able to replicate the chemistry of GBBO, especially not with adverts thrown in. I think this show has effectively committed suicide, albeit in a manner that will not invalidate its life insurance.

That threw me in "Fantastic Beasts". I wasn't aware that some of it had been filmed in Liverpool - and the CGI made it less than obvious. But in one scene I suddenly thought "Isn't that the organ in St George's Hall?", and lo it was.

So it is!

The male character in the UK version also got a spin-off series"Robin's Nest".

I disagree. There may be something in the history of it that points that way, but it's intent in the UK is not misogynistic. Other female body part related insults are mild (e.g. "Tit" for somebody who is acting a bit silly) and you then move through male body parts (dick, dickhead, knob, knobhead) and then get to…

It's really not. Not in the UK. Calling a guy a bitch is generally homophobic sarcasm.

It's still weighty, but used mostly by men, at men, so misogyny tends not to come into it.

I generally go with "Jethro" when they ask.

Here in the UK, one such person, Katie Hopkins, has just been successfully sued for libeling a proper journalist on twitter. Her lawyer basically argued that twitter was "the wild west of social media" and that nobody takes it seriously, therefore you can say what you like. You'd think she would have learned after…

My mate is a doctor, and when planning a flight to Australia from the UK was worried his young daughter would be "difficult" during the flight. He'd heard phenergan was a useful aid in such a situation. He went to a pharmacy and asked for some. The pharmacist asked what he wanted it for. Having not prepared a…

I think the orange juices had been left by some kind of club, and the chocolate bar was just careless.

I live nearby and often walk our dog past his house. The tributes outside have finally started to thin out a bit, but new stuff keeps appearing. Recently we were walking past and I noticed a chocolate bar and a couple of orange juices left amongst the flowers. I turned to my wife and said "why would you leave a…

That show had some great moments. Kermit's cover of Once in a Lifetime. Piggy faking a sneeze opposite Billy Crystal. Rizzo coaching Bobo through an ear piece as he tries to chat up Cindy Crawford. There was just too much filler.
