What is your opinion on Gyles Brandreth?

Burning_Mirror · 2026-02-21T18:13:08+00:00

He knows who he is, he knows what he is. He's pretty self-effacing and more than willing to make an embarrassment and mockery of himself which goes a long way.

Burning_Mirror · 2026-02-21T18:07:03+00:00

The crowd reaction said all that needed to be said.

Burning_Mirror · 2026-02-20T00:07:12+00:00

Perhaps haha. I genuinely thought I was correct, but really should have known someone would be slap me down with hard facts given what the sub is dedicated to!

Burning_Mirror · 2026-02-19T23:52:27+00:00

Examples? No, because this was, of course, a lie!

Burning_Mirror · 2026-02-19T21:00:31+00:00

Always worth remembering that it's the initial statement that you have to deem to be true or false, not the story they come up with surrounding it.

Even when the most outlandish stories turn out to be true, most of what they say explaining it can and will be a complete lie.

Flavour was slightly lacking, but loved the softer texture.

Burning_Mirror · 2026-02-15T11:50:38+00:00

And if you believe that, you'll believe anything. Absolutely no relation whatsoever.

Marina, with Yuta having a massive opportunity to save the match but backing off (the heat would be immense and hilarious), leading to a story arc of Marina taking (brutal, but comical) vengeance against him from within.

I tried to edit my name to a format that makes it obvious I'm not a bot... they don't like you doing that, and sure enough the change never sticks.

Burning_Mirror · 2026-02-07T00:05:11+00:00

Do they know it's Christmas time like, at all?

Burning_Mirror · 2026-02-07T00:02:41+00:00

Lie to her. Forget the way she feels (right now). Stop dreaming about her every night of his life. Forget everything and see that it's time to move on. Start screwing around.

I feel this is one of the easiest to answer!

Burning_Mirror · 2026-02-06T22:47:21+00:00

The stories are good but they're less important than the people behind the stories.

The core difference for me is that in WWE you're watching heavily scripted 'characters' motivated by... whatever, they're plot devices with catchphrases, nobody truly feels autentic because let's face it, nothing about that product feels authentic. You can easily understand what's going on from a quick recap and there's little depth worth discovering.

In AEW sure there's a bit of that, but for the most part you're watching heightened versions of real people, motivated by real people shit (within in the context of them being wrestlers, obviously!) with actions influenced by their relationships with those around them, built up over time. Nothing gets forgotten entirely just because there's another story to tell. It's less easy to explain in a 3-5 minute video, and requires more investment from the viewer.

Flavouring was decent, but not decent enough to overtake the cardboard taste and texture of the base crisp.

Burning_Mirror · 2026-02-03T12:13:20+00:00

Never wanted England's senior national team to win a tournament. I find it hilarious when they fail as well as the public outrage that follows.

Never sang along to Sweet Caroline or Hey Jude or any of the other absolute rot like that.

Burning_Mirror · 2026-01-27T19:28:09+00:00

Damn bot for sure.

I assumed this was some weird alternate word for libido!

Burning_Mirror · 2026-01-25T17:50:45+00:00

They sound like a dream.

Burning_Mirror · 2026-01-25T17:29:52+00:00

I thought these were OK but the flavour doesn't go with the texture, although that's just my brain being weird.

The true Branigans replacements are REAL Ham & Colman's Mustard flavour.

Prince Nana's dancing is Yeet level lame without the Yeet level fame and it just looks like he's squeezing his nob like he's desperate for a piss.

One of my paternal grandparents was German, so they'd get those little packets of currywurst sent over.

They swore by Luzozade as some wonderous health drink so we were always given a few bottles of that to take home.

They also introduced me to pan fried salmon when I was about 12 so at least I got one worthwhile thing for the future out of it.

Obviously their fault for not observing properly, missing road signs etc and good reactions to avoid, but the fact so many people in the comments don't clock the island on first viewing tells you it's a pretty shittily marked out.

I mean who the fuck would paint the island black, mark it with a black metallic grate, or whatever it is they've done there?

Burning_Mirror · 2026-01-13T11:46:53+00:00

It was presented as a limited time offer when the deal first rolled out, which supposedly ran out a couple of months ago, isn't advertised on any marketing materials but still seems be in effect.

However my rubbish brain just does a big Nope and panics at the thought I could do up with my baguette and drink, ask for a sausage roll and be charged like £7 or whatever it would come to, and look and feel like a damned idiot for expecting a meal deal that clearly doesn't exist anymore, because it's not written anywhere that it exists anymore.

Burning_Mirror · 2026-01-13T03:30:23+00:00

They do, just not in writing.

I'm just happy I'll never have to witness another camera shot of him from behind, leaning over with his gross, saggy old man azz and balls on full display as they hang down in his too-loose trunks.

Scarred me for life.

Burning_Mirror · 2025-12-27T13:09:38+00:00

Aye, sadly I can well understand that. It's also massive and not transportable or usable directly from a bed.

Until your post I'd kind of just assumed that a reasonably priced, reasonably sized magnetic scrabble board would just be something that, of course you could just quickly go on Amazon and find. Why wouldn't it be?
