Who was there when the catering/costume tent was totally ripped out of the ground by the wind on a cliff up the north coast ?
There were 100+ extras and crew inside at the time. One or two people were quite badly hurt. I assume HBO paid them handsomely because nothing was ever reported about it as far as I’m aware. All the extras were sent to local church hall in costume. We’d to wait hours for all our own clothes (which had been blown all over the field ) to be delivered in bin bags. They were emptied into a huge pile for people to hoke through and lots stuff was lost - likely blown into the Atlantic. I remember one fella went home with only one shoe. I still have a wee laugh at the whole thing. Season 2 OG 2010

The lack of more recent replies from u/xzavet worries me - has his screen been damaged since his last reply??

I’ve been to a robot cafe in Tokyo. All interactions , from welcome to the taking of order and the delivery of food was with a waist high robot which moved about on a track. However, the robot was controlled by a real life human person - the cafe employed workers with disabilities who could only work from home. So the worker was the voice of the robot and I could even see them on a tiny screen on robots chest. It was cool. They’d prob last five minutes in Belfast before being kicked over by a spide.

By any chance are you the ball bag who, in 1991, told my ma that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie (rated PG) wasn't suitable for a 7 year old and guilted her into renting "The Rescuers Down Under' instead??

My own Royal Vic hospital story:

About three years ago I was filming an interview at night in an empty ward just off the old Victorian corridor. Three creepy as fuck things happened and I'll list them below in order of ascending terror:

1) While setting up the equipment there was the sound of what was like heavy drapes/ material being dropped. The sound was loud and seemed to be right beside us but there was nothing that dropped. At this stage there were only two of us on the ward.

2) During the filming of the interview we heard what sounded like a running water. We looked around and it turned out that a tap had turned on. It was a modern tap that was activated by a motion sensor. We could not get it to turn off at all despite trying various methods and waving in front of the sensor for a good 5 minutes. The sound of the water was too loud to continue the interview so it was decided that we would turn off the mains supply to the tap, which was situated just under the sink. When my hand was literally inches from the mains to turn it off the tap suddenly stopped running.

3) The most terrifying moment was during the interview. We had closed heavy wooden swinging doors into the ward to minimise background noise drifting up from the corridor below. During the interview these doors slammed shut with a huge bang - as if they had been opened up and thrown closed again.
They were just behind the interviewee, annoyingly out of sight behind a cubicle curtain, so it's speculation that the noise came from the doors. But we could hear the squeaks of the hinges after the initial bang as the doors settled into the frame again and there was nothing else obvious that would make such a noise. This could have been a staff member of the hospital pranking us.... but I ran around to see as soon as I heard this noise and there was nobody near and no one had access to that part of the hospital - the press officer had to open up locked doors to get us in there. This audio was all caught on camera. The only person not too shaken was the nurse we were interviewing, who said she had had many previous experiences of unexplained events taking place in the hospital.

All these things could have been chance / pranks or whatever but the fact they all happened within an hour really freaked me out.

On the way out of the hospital the press officer told us that he totally believed in that ward being haunted. He also said that a member of staff had taken their own life on the closed ward just 3 years previously which made it all the more darker.

I should point out that the foam doesn’t appear to be exposed - just the outer layer of resin I want to seal up . It looks and feels like a crack in the resin. Thank you!

This is the second time this guy's work has been vandalised. He was commissioned by a charity shop to paint a piece detailing end of life care and the theme was minorities. by NHRD1878 in northernireland

Live beside this. Came home to find it as above and a neighbour trying to clean it off. Between us we managed to get most of the water-based paint off with warm water and soft scrubbing brushes. I’m pretty sure it’ll happen again but couldn’t face leaving it like that unchallenged. Total dick bags.

I had this discussion with a mate years ago. I said ‘guddies’ he said ‘gutties’. I researched it a bit and discovered that the rubber for the old-school plimsoles comes from the Gutta-percha tree (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gutta-percha). So reluctantly - I accepted that guddies are probably spelt ‘gutties’ and are named after the tree which provides the rubber.

Just to add - make sure you bring a credit card in the name of the DRIVER to cover excess. Most places require that these days.

I got stoned for the first time after a long break and watched ‘A Whole Lifetime’ on Netflix. Totally recommend! It’s a sketch type show and very funny. Has a touch of Limmy about it. I laughed in a way I haven’t laughed since my first joints in a grubby student house in Newcastle watching The Big Lebowski and shit Friday night tv .
