Had the pleasure of re-watching the brilliantly camp Bram Stoker’s Dracula starring a scenery chewing Gary Oldman as the Robert Sanchez of the piece (he doesn’t like crosses). Great fun all round and immensely silly. But my word. Keanu Reeves is absolutely horrible in it :lol: What are your...

Anyone watching? Hard to see past Wardley. Has Huni beaten anyone of note? Was nearly stopped by Kevin Larena last year, who is no finisher and was boxing outside of his weight class. I’m going Wardley within the distance. Most of Huni’s opponents have been soup cans and don’t even have...

What’s your fancy? Prawn cocktail for me. Yes, I know it’s from the 70’s. No, I’m in my 30’s. Don’t care. Absolutely top drawer.

Much as we all dread to think about the possibility of war on our shores, a big day today with Starmer’s pledges. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cz63y1yldq2t It feels appropriate to have a dedicated thread to discussing UK defence, which is an issue quite apart from party politics in my...

Good grief! Daily articles of no substance about Manchester United on the BBC Football website from this chancer. Mr. Stone is “Chief Football Correspondent” and has been dispatched on a jolly to Malaysia and Hong Kong to follow Manchester United’s meaningless corporate box ticking exercise...

There is something I am desperate to watch on PBS tonight, which is region locked to the USA. There is a PBS app on the Fire TV which is also region locked (unavailable), where I’m hoping the show has been uploaded. Can anyone give me some advice on how to proceed? I’m thinking I need a VPN...

Some of these I started using ironically and became part of my vocabulary, some I’ve always used and never switched to the modern version. Clicker - (TV, hi-fi, blu-Ray) remote control Flickers/talkies - movies Pocketbook - purse/handbag Tape/taping - recording a TV programme Dictaphone -...

I watched this and ended up quadraspazzed on a life glug. It’s a fuckin’ disgrace.

Discovered the YouTube show Pitch Meetings on YouTube a few weeks ago and I just bloody love it. The premise is a screenwriter pitching a movie to a greedy movie producer, with both characters (and occasional side characters) all being played by Canadian actor and comedian Ryan George, who...

Hoping to have a pleasant walk around the village soon, maybe a light bite with soft drinks, possibly around noon. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I’m talking about their reaction. Grabbed the ball, minimal celebration and straight back to the half way line to restart. They were ready before us! They knew they had us rocked and the crowd was turning at 2-1, our players looked shattered and our shape in midfield had collapsed. When they...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cz95n2837vgo Utterly fantastic news, and well done to all involved to push this through. With some 28,000 jobs being created, and a massive influx of that sweet, sweet tourism money, this can only possibly be viewed as a good thing. Even locals support it...

These are out of control nowadays, it’s basically unwatchable without ad-blockers or paying for premium. Watching one 20 minute video via the app, I had 14 ads across 7 ad-rolls. 8 were unskippable. Anyone else noticing a massive increase in ads?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwyd9e5lkpro I appreciate this is likely all over the Trump thread, but I feel the subject is big enough to merit its own thread. Aren’t the GOP the ones who are meant to be all about tight security and order? I wonder what Republicans (non-MAGA) make of...

I’ll start with Carl Weathers. The size of him :lol:

On my annual rewatch. 12 episodes of perfection, just masterful. Unsurpassed. I love all kinds of British comedy, new and old, but there’s something very special about Fawlty Towers. No matter how many times I’ve seen them, no other show makes me truly belly laugh like this.

A quick one - it’s my birthday today and I really fancy a biriyani and the trimmings (takeaway or delivery). I live in Seaford, and have tried a few. Does anyone have any recommendations if there’s a clear best choice here? Many thanks!

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c3378054g1no His Royal Highness Prince William spot on here.

A question arises; When you know someone off NSC, or have met them before, how awkward is it for you when they act like utter cretins on here? It can’t be easy reading a post and thinking “this is an obvious troll post”, then realising your mate posted it? Do you call it out? Do you go softer...
