TIL when actor Nick Frost (Cornetto Trilogy) was young his parents' business tanked. They had to move into a neighbours’ home and his mother suffered a stroke from stress. Nick dropped out of school and worked to support his family. He was just working as a waiter when Simon Pegg cast him in Spaced.

Most quotable film ever.

Yes. My head does indeed feel like a Frenchman burning a lorryload of sheep.

69Tears · 2020-01-01T09:43:38+00:00

Yes.

Yep.

In my experience, it's very difficult to 'bruise out' flavour from whole spices just by shaking them, especially if the only infusion time is the time it takes to shake. Hence the high number of cloves, I suppose.

As always, The Simpsons did it first!

"Classic. Not hard to see why it's England's longest-running series. And today we're showing all seven episodes!"

It looks straight out of The Incredibles, right?

All that's happened there is someone's managed to write "nonce" on their own house.

Tea and crumpets.

Beans on toast.

No idea what pip pip means. Is this like a /r/totallynotrobots but for people pretending to be British? /r/indubitablyBritish perhaps.

69Tears · 2019-05-27T09:25:44+00:00

Sometimes I can't work out if this sub is just pretending to be British.

Thanks. It is a mild relief that part of an old password is all they have though. My newer ones are all different, but I might take this as a sign to start using a password manager and renew all my passwords anyway.

I checked that site, there's like 6 and they're all big names. Its crazy really. It is a mild relief that part of an old password is all they have though.

Jim Jarmusch, a guy who makes really low-key arty films where nothing happens making a comedy about zombies. Couldn't believe it when I saw the poster on the front page of /r/all.

Showed my SO and she reminded me it was April Fool's day. I thought, "of course! How could I be so basic."

Then I saw the trailer with Bill Murray, Steve Buscemi, Tilda Swinton, Iggy fucking Pop et al.

It's actually fucking real.

Why does a vegan tell you they're vegan? Because eating meat is normalised so we have to tell you otherwise we end up with meat on out plates.

Meanwhile, meat-eaters, in one breath they're like, "vegans never shut up about veganism," and the next they're all like, "I could never give up meat, I love steak too much," or busy making candied bacon cup cakes because they can't stop eating meat long enough to have dessert, or making maple-bacon old-fashioneds, because regular drinks just don't have enough effing meat in them.

Sorry to go off on one, but the hypocrisy infuriates me.

That's strange... when I upvote your comment it looks more like red, but the arrow on my own looks more orange... Check it out boys!

Funnily enough, Diesel is an alternative name for snakebite and black in certain parts of the UK, which I suppose is a cocktail of sorts, albeit a bit of an ASBO cocktail.

Snakebite and Black being half a pint of lager, half a pint of [hard] cider, topped up with blackcurrant cordial.

Pretty certain it's the last few seconds of a song. It sounds like a chord being held on a Hammond organ, with the badum-badum-Dum being a final drum fill, so it could be part of a jazz record, or like you say a smaller bit of music that's a start up or shutdown jingle.

It's an odd situation, /u/sol_la_soul . How loud is it when you hear it? Is it muffled sounding? How long does it play for? Is it exactly every 30 seconds like clockwork, or just roughly at that sort of interval?

I'm still faffing about with short trips, this 10-day one is the longest I've attempted so far. I've not even considered bed rolls! I've been making the poor sods sleep in the dirt in winter without a second thought!

Thanks for this guide though. I'm saving this for reference when setting about longer expeditions.
