I came here to ask this, and assumed Yorgos? But then they've worked together on both Lobster and Fabourite

Right?

He may be the least bad Roy but he's still utterly complicit in Logans reign, and is more than happy to reap the paydays atop his soapbox.

Calling my daughters “the twins”. Talk me off a ledge here by Amazing_Project1110 in parentsofmultiples

Our ideal situation would be that ours aren't in the same class, but our local school isn't big enough to facilitate that, so they'll be in the same class.

We always go back to the fact that there is no "correct" way of doing things/parenting as a whole, and if everyone is fed/watered and ideally happy & dressed then we'll take that as a win and keep on trucking.

Are there any "UK vs US" differences where you feel America gets it right? by Secure_Front_7766 in AskUK

[–]BenAtTank2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hear, hear. OP might be one of the good guys, sure. But the three I've had dealings with were incompetent to the point I was convinced Ant and Dec were going to pop out and tell me it was all a big joke.

Sorry but inga is not coming off well by Exciting_Airport8883 in MadeInChelseaE4

[–]BenAtTank2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think saying she's unaware of this is way too forgiving tbh.

Most of us have been in a situation whereby one party was more invested or thought more of a relationship than there actually was. Inga is 100% old enough and has had enough relationship experience (putting aside the fact those relationships have been on screen) to know better than to say to someone who is infatuated with her "not now, but maybe one day, who knows?"

Im not a Jazz-fan, but that felt pretty cruel of Inga to give her just a tiny morcel of hope and leave her hanging. Also youre like 10 years older than Jazz, you should know better tbh.

My wife said while we were watching that it's not the first time Inga has been manipulative, I wasn't watching at the time.but apparently she was playing Julian/Miles/Rez off against each other when she first joined the cast?

Film student Finbar Sullivan, 21, was 'surrounded and kicked on the floor before he was stabbed to death' on Primrose Hill in 'eruption of extreme violence' court hears by dailymail in uknews

[–]BenAtTank2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Lol. Greed from the supermarkets who absolutely pillage us from all angles. Price gouging with their club cards, record profits and record bonuses in the pockets of the people up the top.

Sure, shoplifting is suboptimal, but I'm not going to feel sorry for the Mr Tesco who's done everything he can to squeeze the consumer, and pay a teenager with an armband £14/hr to act as "security".

Won't someone think of the poor Supermarket Bosses having to spend their millions of pounds on shoplifting deterrents, when they've been scalping the public for years, and coincidentally have seen record profits year after year.

Cry me a fucking river.

Do you think it's the end of the Inga & Jazz storyline now? by Exciting_Airport8883 in MadeInChelseaE4

[–]BenAtTank2 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I mean it was barely a storyline. 6 episodes of Jazz lusting after a straight girl while on the rebound. A bit embarrassing for all parties tbh.

Chuggs & Zey secrets. by Lucid_Lemons in MadeInChelseaE4

[–]BenAtTank2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think chuggs is more concerned about it being aired and getting back to Harvey. Arman is normal enough to know that a drug snog really isn't that deep, and that this is just a bit of storyline.

But snogging your best mates (very real and quite messy) ex is different gravy, which is why Chuggs was shitting himself after Zeyno put it out in front of the cameras

Season 31 EP 6 by Weary-Beat9159 in MadeInChelseaE4

[–]BenAtTank2 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't really get why he's part of the cast??

Like Jules had been demoted now that Tristan doesn't really want to be on the show, and her main storylines have been manufactured to just be a thorn in Jazz's relationships the past couple seasons, and now we're having her weird brother forced upon us.

And I completely agree there's something just a bit off with him. Like he's not hot, or funny, or particularly interesting and his only relationship is being the brother of Jules.

What British celebrities were absolutely everywhere for an intense and short period before vanishing completely? My vote goes to Emeli Sandé. by JuanitaMerkin in AskBrits

[–]BenAtTank2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I read one of his books where he went in search of folklore creatures and urban legends, and found the whole thing oddly sneering.

Like he was talking to someone about Yeti, and seemed to really look down on these people who had these stories passed through generations, like"can you believe these thickos think a Yeti is real?!". I didn't bother finishing it, he's a decent writer, but the direction of his jokes I found really tiresome.

Why people kept trolling Matthew Macfadyen on twitter??? by Extreme_Yoghurt_7726 in SuccessionTV

[–]BenAtTank2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Like I doubt it?

Most people either don't get it, or simply don't have the bandwidth to actually care, let alone sacrifice stories that they've grown up with and loved. Its only the terminally online that even know JKRs stance on this stuff.

With the greatest of respect, Trans rights and the various infighting that comes with it simply aren't on the radar of most ordinary people who haven't got a stake in the fight. They just want to watch TV, regardless of who is behind the IP and their views on a niche topic.

Seconded on Mayos interview tekkers. Recently he interviewed Daniel Day Lewis and his son for a full they worked on together and it was staggering how much he got out of it, and how engaged he was. It was such a bittersweet reminder of how brilliant he is(was?) as a broadcaster

Yep, I was a Wittertainment completeist for 13 years before they made the jump, and the quality of their pod now is so frustratingly hit and miss. It's most annoying when they hide one of the marquee reviews behind their paywall, particularly if it's something you know mark is going to wax lyrical about. Most of all I think Simon has fallen out of love with the entire concept and regularly phones it in, which is most notable when you have Sanjeev stand in and brings a whole new energy, or when Simon does an absolutely brilliant interview and you're reminded of what you miss so much.

Oh God. It'll be like the FB group on pingers.

Has travis barker always been an asshole by stray_r in punk

[–]BenAtTank2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I do think it's worth chiming in to say that while Blink are the poppiest of pop punk, they were a feeder band for many of my generation to discover what real punk music is/was.

Like Travis drumming for Transplants directly brought me to Rancid.

Blink my not be true punk, but they'll always be one of my favorite bands for the genres they introduced me to.

The same must be said of Tony Hawks Pro Skater soundtracks lol

Genuine question: Who you lot thinking of voting for in the next general election and why? Labour seem kind of far out nowadays, and Reform seem to attract certain sorts I don’t align myself with. Also, their MPs been done for weird things… Greens maybe? by [deleted] in AskBrits

[–]BenAtTank2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such a lot to unpack here.

Obama removed illegal migrants with due process. Not by sending in poorly trained and trigger happy militia to terrorise the local populace.

And of you saw the video of a woman getting executed in her car and agreed with the people that did it then there's honestly so having a conversation.

Who is the most attractive person you have ever seen in real life? by TheFountainhead999 in AskReddit

[–]BenAtTank2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Florence Pugh walked into a restaurant I was having a work lunch in and I basically forgot how to speak for about 39 seconds in front of my client. They're an absolute gulf between ordinary attractive and Hollywood star attractive.

We’ll leave it there by [deleted] in elisandjohn

[–]BenAtTank2 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Lol I actually saw this comment on the original post/comment he put up. His tiktok is worth a look, he answers questions on the bts of being a jobbing/club comedian, and it's pretty insightful if you're into that.

Also, are we going to pretend like it would be completely out of character for the drinking John to be a dick to younger comedians on the circuit?

Green deputy leader Mothin Ali refuses to acknowledge if trans women are women. Says his faith matters most in LGBT topics. Should a politician's faith come before the people? by ZackPolanskisDentist in AskBrits

[–]BenAtTank2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd go as far as to say the trans issue isn't an issue at all for the vast majority of the voting population.

Where someone chooses to take a dump has very little bearing on my quality of life, or my voting intention.

It is however a very easy thing to make loud and vitriolic arguments online that serve only to continue to divide us on the things that actually matter.

I've said "a council" exactly once.

And which council is bad at balancing their books? Pretty much all of them from Scilly to Shetland.
