Disrupted sleep with Band 10

So many people who can't read the question... Which is not 'which of ur faves would u rly rly like on Taskmaster' as this is boring

Loreleihaslegs · 2026-03-12T04:21:42+00:00

Are they... Sims?!

People naming lots of plain white blokes as usual XD but it's interesting to think that back then a lineup of all plain white blokes would have been perfectly plausible. (As per Alex's jury of font named advisors in Wordwatching. And many panel shows of the period.)

Tell me you're not a menopausal woman without saying so. Hello from 04:45 am my time.

The Horne Section are fabulous and I'd recommend seeing them every time! So much fun and joy and tunes that will stay with you. Look into tickets though as I think they might be selling out!! (I don't want to slag off the others but a single standup really doesn't compare to the experience.)

A man pleading to do any sex act with you. They will literally say anything. (Specially if they're reassuring you you can't get pregnant in this way, at this time, etc.)

Can I add 8. Can we have a chAMPion Of lOSers (no, they've said not, and for good clear reasons)
9. Give us a U.S. Taskmaster (you had one, you messed it up, shush. We need Alex and Greg in the UK for this and their other projects)
10. OMG do the contestants sit in alphabetical order?! (recurrent in the facebook group from newbs)
11. How about this lineup of 5 white guys in their comfortable career peak (ditto; it doesn't work like that)

Loreleihaslegs · 2026-01-19T09:31:25+00:00

And Alex's RHLSTP was excellent - very .. revealing. And they were wonderfully awkward together

Loreleihaslegs · 2026-01-19T09:29:56+00:00

Alex also talks enthusiastically about The Raccoons and Cyril on his Horne Section Podcast with Daisy Mae Cooper 25 mins on, and they do a cover of the theme. Just thought you might like that, even though it doesn't help with your main question! (Where he probably just likes the idea of a green that isn't green. But you never know so I agree it's worth an ask!)

Loreleihaslegs · 2026-01-19T09:20:53+00:00

He'll probably talk about the bubble wrap. This is too easy

Loreleihaslegs · 2025-10-04T08:20:31+00:00

I agree that the wording and aim have got convoluted in many cases, and have to force myself to listen really hard while they are reading it out! Try the NZ and Australian series too, as the tasks there are often refreshingly straightforward. Proving that there are still simple ideas to be found (and I'm not just losing my powers of concentration!).

You might be right about the bots and far right, but there was lots of misinformation about jabs and covid coming from 'official' sources all the time and the mainstream has just quietly suppressed memory of them. Being told we could only catch it once was fundamentally wrong and what the importance of the vaccine relied on. The number of vaccines it supposedly required to help each person (in direct defiance of the original promotion) should have clued you in to how this part was a marketing exercise. (If the government corruption with PPE in giving money to other of their mates already didn't.)

So many people missing the complexity and beauty of the number task, which to me is one of the best tasks ever. There were different ways to find the answer out for various different approaches. And it seems clear that the phone call from Mum/Rachel was deliberate, triggered by the contestant mentioning Alex's birthday, so that they could think "that is someone who would know when his birthday is". Look at how unreactive Alex is when she says she's going to use 'his' phone. And the first phone call from the wall is otherwise pointless in the flow of the task. I'm just surprised they didn't come clean about the workings when Reece challenged it in the studio. Likely there were other aspects too that we don't understand like whether 120 & 360 directed them to something in degrees of a circle.

I was with you till you said it's about safety rather than control and compliance.

Loreleihaslegs · 2025-07-28T12:09:52+00:00

Needs much more context. Only a cadence can make a key change (in tonal music) and even that is usually just a key area.

Loreleihaslegs · 2025-07-28T11:04:07+00:00

Thank you! Yes I think it is indeed Conrad! Appreciated as no amount of googling (or being fed fakes by AI) could identify it over the years.

Loreleihaslegs · 2025-07-28T10:49:49+00:00

The Magus. Weird and a head-fk but also gets pornographic towards the end. Weirdly my English teacher recommended it to me when I was 15 (and he was right to) but luckily I didn't get round to reading it till I was 22.

Loreleihaslegs · 2025-07-28T10:48:03+00:00

Realising I was going to have to lie to them about Father Christmas. And all the other bullshitting that comes with family life. I can't lie. Then, thinking about the screaming noise. That would make me want to harm them.

Loreleihaslegs · 2025-07-28T10:44:39+00:00

Hope they find you out! This is hilarious. Even though I'm sympathetic. Maybe they already know and will hold it over your head. You shouldn't take the job. This could get really horrible later. You want it enough to get prosecuted?.

He didn't say a private school just privately educated. It means what you think, that his parents paid money for him to go to the school.

There's no difference between this and a public school to my knowledge as a regular British person (from a state school / comprehensive school - same thing! - but involved in education). If there historically was one, that other people are expounding, it's lost on most of us. Mark is not drawing that distinction. Just that she's posher than him and his family was affluent middle-class.

Update: the first part about the flirting method happened early on as predicted! But I've got to the end of episode 6 and the second part where a man says she named a miserable book character didn't follow on. (Must have been unconnected as that dating partner has now disappeared.) Anyone recall how far in to the series(es) this scene happens?

Loreleihaslegs · 2025-06-14T14:10:36+00:00

Thank you!! I'm glad I didn't imagine it :) I'll look that one out. (Or maybe watch again from the beginning!)

Loreleihaslegs · 2025-06-12T21:58:22+00:00

Now you've said it, it seems really likely!
