Holy shit. Remind me never to drive in the US if we are an example of courtesy and self-awareness.

Ooh, I must remember that, that’s a good one. Some of my clients could do with learning it.
I’ve seen people use till, when they mean 'til, but never seen tell. That’s just weird.
Something something, “break a leg”, something something.
Seriously though, I hope he’s ok.
You might already know this, but they made a second video using more footage from the shoot. I can’t remember what song it was used for, but it was on a DVD they released.
Black and white stripes to match my football ⚽ team.
Oh god, yes, Jam. So dark. So, so dark.
I really like the Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Coleridge. I first encountered it as a result of reading Douglas Adams’ Dirk Gently novels, but one day I saw the original in the library and just read it from start to finish. It’s fantastic, so weird, so compelling.
I also like his Kubla Khan, the imagery of the “caverns measureless to man” and the “sunless sea” have always stuck with me.
If you like Mitchell and Webb, you might also enjoy Big Train, British sitcom sketch show from the 90s with Simon Pegg among others.
A lot of this thread is hugely familiar and a nice memory.
I’ll just add one little thing I remember from 96/97ish, the “… ate my balls” phenomenon. I guess nowadays you’d call it a meme format.
The gist of it was that you would take some cultural icon/celebrity/whatever and add their name to the phrase “…ate my balls”.
For some reason I remember this as being hilarious at the time. Not so much when recounted in the here and now though :-)
Or take off and nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
Each to their own, but I always prefer the taste of beer from a bottle over beer from a can.
Ok, but then… I’m confused. If the issue is beer bottles generally, why specify NA beers?
Have they? Can you give an example? Any NA beer I’ve bought (which is quite a bit) has been in standard beer bottles. Assuming you mean non-alcoholic, right?
Ages ago to save space, I got rid of all my CD cases, but kept the disks and the booklets and back cover inserts. Still got them all, but I do kind of wish I hadn’t dumped the cases.
I gave them to a charity shop though so they would have them as spares, so at least they weren’t totally wasted.
Now my vinyl on the other hand… You can take my sleeves from my cold dead hand!
That sucks. Your dad needs to watch Lord of the Rings and especially the Boromir, Faramir, Denathor dynamic.
I think that’s a massive over-generalisation to be honest. Women are just as capable at any of those things.
I’m not sure why you would want to look down on people who don’t know how to do a thing, but at least do it equally.
Why a man though - why not just a person?
What is it that means that men ought to be able to do those things, but not women?
Ha, fair point.
It was a shame how he carried on.
