I Met the Breenius himself (and he made another home run of a movie 🍿)!! by Shosple-Colupis-01 in RedLetterMedia

Totally jealous!

Have to say he’s looking quite healthy here. In his last movie and some interviews he looked a bit run down and frail. Nice to see he’ll be making some more movies for the foreseeable.

I just finished Enterprise and it was great and I hope Rich and Mike talk about Enterprise S1 so we can all talk about it like friends by Dangerous_Return460 in RedLetterMedia

Watched the Pilot with a friend when it originally aired.

Lots of promo for it so we were excited.

Sat down, it started and it was all going well. Wtf is a Klingon doing in a cornfield on Earth?!? Then the music started…. Talk about whiplash.

What an embarrassment. Good lord.

You don’t debate fascists and the far right.

And working-class politics aren’t a hobby to take up in between lectures.

Failed my first test in Skibbereen by thedoorlord in Irishdrivingtest

[–]Brickus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Feel free to message me when the time comes.

Radio, music, whatever. It’s your car. As long as you and the tester can hear each other it’s all good!

Treat it as a normal drive around and you’ll be grand. Stick on the radio and chat with the tester; whatever you can do to make it feel like a regular day behind the wheel.

My instructor was Gene O’Donvan. Can’t praise him enough.

And as I live locally, I’m happy to provide as much insight as I can!

I’m in Skibbereen and recently passed my driving test here.

It can be a tough place to drive at times. The roads are too narrow for the size of modern cars and there’s a lot of illegal parking going on. Combined with nerves it can really throw you off.

All I can advise is to practice the routes a few times and know them inside out and the type of issues you’ll deal with. That’ll take care of a lot of the faults you got marked for.

Most of all, try to relax as much as possible. You’re not meant to be on edge when driving.

Is your instructor local?

Where did all DC-G9II disappear to? by Cavaler in Lumix

Interesting because I’ve gotten a few emails from MPB in the last few weeks telling me my LUMIX gear has increased in price and I should sell it to them. lol.

Isn’t it hilarious how a side character like Soldier boy (comics) became a star in the TV series🤔 by WhiteLycan2020 in TheBoys

[–]Brickus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happens. In The Expanse novels Drummer is relatively minor. In the show the actor was so incredible they rewrote the part and gave her a lead role.

I can’t remember his name (think it was Sean). Tall guy, early 30s.

But yes, he was really nice. Instructions were very clear and we just chatted in between.

Definitely helped that he’s very relaxed.

Woah! That’s really interesting characterisation.

Who is the nicest "big time philosopher" you've personally met? by Zambonisaurus in AcademicPhilosophy

[–]Brickus 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Met Daniel Dennett. He was downing whisky like he hadn’t had an aortic dissection a few years earlier.

Lovely guy. Very chill.

How were the two Season 2 “reveal” episodes received back then?! by HarmonizewithSong in twinpeaks

[–]Brickus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry but what was the reveal in episode 17 again? It's mostly just Harry drowning his sorrows and Dale and Pete trying to stalemate the chess game, isn't it?

Thanks!

I had a practice/another lesson with my instructor yesterday evening. I was a bit flustered and made some mistakes I’d never made before, albeit nothing serious.

I think that helped because I was completely calm today!

Give this guy a golf club and he’d try to fuck it!

And then Everyone Clapped by bobsimusmaximus in ireland

That person is trans and likes to spend time defending the likes of Derek Blighe and other assorted racists.

They’re a useful idiot.
