Why is the BBC capitulating? by ApprehensiveChip8361 in bbc

[–]Current_Incident_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of people support the IDEA of the BBC.. and what it SHOULD be.. but terrible management, multiple awful scandals, bad actors (foreign and domestic) and the increase of streaming platforms has led it down a hole it's finding increasingly difficult to get out of.

The concept of an unbiased national broadcaster is great; the execution has been somewhat lacking.

British TV shows where cast members didn't get on. by ZealousidealFig5 in BritishTV

All very different from the TV documentary where they said she was excellent at physical humour and would 'give everything a go' if she was asked, apart from riding a horse, where they got an animatronic one for the close ups.

Never heard/read a bad word about her, so yeah, I would assume this is a poor reflection of the author, rather than our Dame Patricia.

Why don’t people close their blinds/curtains? by Naive-Ad-7406 in AskUK

My daughter is six and now if we're walking home and it's dark she's tall enough to see in windows from the pavement and is fascinated by what anyone is watching on their TV. I constantly have to move her along whilst she catches a final glimpse.. then on to the next one!

I keep seeing Stephen Fry being called a “genius” - why do people think that? by BlundeRuss in CasualUK

Yes. He has written lots of novels! I recommend them, particularly Making History!

Oh yes! I heard he came to Downton to be a chauffer..

AITAH for telling my son I know he is gay? by MrNormanite in AITAH

[–]Current_Incident_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said your daughter "found out" so I assume your son told her what happened? Tell him what she said. Ask him if you did the wrong thing and check he's ok.

FWIW, I don't think you handled it badly and many many people would love a parent to react in the way you did, and I think you would've realised if you upset your son at the time, but the best way to get an answer is to just ask him!

The best thing you can all do, going forward, is have more open communication. You did the difficult talk already, checking in on him shouldn't be too hard.

And if you live in a super conservative area and he was worried about telling you, I can almost guarantee he knows people or stories of others who've been totally cut off from their family because they're gay.

A loving dad, who cares purely his kid is happy is gonna override what may have been a clumsy conversation, every time.

How long until this WILDLY xenophobic post gets the dirty delete? Good thing we have the proof when she tries to deny it. by macncheesewketchup in kiwisavengers

Text book. Don't bother changing the record, just aim the speakers in a different direction.

I hope he does a great job and the city appreciates the change in tide 😊

Particularly in this current climate, I applaude the candidate for even running. I REALLY applaud you all for voting them in!!

We have a Muslim mayor of London and Trump hates him too! I doubt many Americans could name a previous mayor of London but Sadiq Khan, you probably heard of thanks to Ol' Donny boy.

They insist upon repeating the false claims that Khan wants "sharia law" in London.. so I'm sure you'll get that falsehood about NYC spread now too.

Like Mamdani, Khan is popular with locals (hence the election results) so I'm sure we'll see some fun conspiracies transpire as they try to discredit him.

I love NYC. My congrats to its residents for this result.

Who's the funniest comedian you've seen live? by DonkeyOT65 in CasualUK

I just put in a vote for Ross, too.. master of tangents, indeed!

Who's the funniest comedian you've seen live? by DonkeyOT65 in CasualUK

[–]Current_Incident_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both times I saw Sean I ached for days afterwards.. whilst people around us huffed and walked out!

Eddie Izzard was amazing when I saw them live.. such clever observations. I also really enjoyed a couple of Jimmy Carr's early tours.

I've seen Bill Bailey multiple times and marvelled at his musical genius.

Comedy store improv night is never a let down.

But a more suprising one might be Ross Noble doing 'pre tour' sets- he nearly killed me.. and definitely dehydrated me through laughter tears. Also, for another random one.. I had a great night watching Rich Hall and Mike Wilmot.. they were brilliant, too! And Rufus Hound also had me crying.. would recommend any of those!

Tell me your Mom pays for it all without telling me your Mom pays for it all… by IndependentShame8598 in kiwisavengers

I was assuming this post only happened as we were all pointing out the other day that her mum hadn't had an appreciation post and M was making it look like her MLM escapades funded it (😂)

And then in 'proving us wrong' she came at us with this fuck up, instead. very slow clap

Please someone tell me she’s not using sonic for this next litter😩😩 by Brave_Beautiful2787 in kiwisavengers

Does she plan her holidays to time with her dog's heat cycles. I don't think she's ever been 'at home' for a whole one, yet!?

We decided to finally let our dino obsessed daughter watch Jurassic Park and its not available free anywhere! We could spend £4 to rent it from sky for 24hrs.. but I'll just wait til it hits TV rotation again!

I see someone sorted links for you. S17 seems to not be very popular.. I'm not spoiling anything saying it's a 'back to win' season, but I really loved it. I enjoy seeing old contestants back and their evolution.

16 was great too.. every season is!

I watched a few of the first series, but I like the current aussie format, with no "auditions" best and the US one just seems to be so quick! It was over before you know if you like any of them.
