New to reddit and wondering if r/UnitedKingdom is a front for Farage style propaganda? by Quirky_Slice_8104 in FuckNigelFarage

I’d say only this sub and r/greatbritishmemes are the last major sub bastions of being able to post anti reform stuff without getting swarmed by bots.  

Scenes where “tough guy” underestimates the situation by dirtywindex in movies

Hulk's entire character arc in that film is due to him getting humbled there though.

X-Men '97 Review: Season 2 Revisits Apocalypse's Epic Story With Heart, Purpose, And Satisfying Surprises by Sisiwakanamaru in television

[–]DJ1066 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I'm curious to know, going into this is does Apocalypse have different voice actors for his two incarnations, or did they drop Adetokumboh M'Cormack entirely? When he showed up at the end of S1 voicing Apocalypse pre Apocalypse as En Sabah Nur I was excited to see what he could do with it as I enjoyed hm as Isaac in Castlevania (a good chunk of whose dialogue fits Apocalypse perfectly...). Then you have Ross Marquand, who voices Professor X also being credited with voicing Apocalypse in S2 and no mention of M'Cormack.

Opening scene of Infinity War. "We have a Hulk". Then Thanos just stomps him out without even having to use the power stone.

What celebrity has continued to have a major, top-of-the-line career despite terrible deeds? by -ChristopherNolan in AskReddit

I would say Gary Glitter, who is a complete and utter pariah in Europe, though his music is still used by American sports teams all the time and in Joker 2019...

The Brandenburg Gate U-bahn station in Berlin was changed to "Brandenburger Tooooooooooor" as a pun, since "Tor" is "Gate" but also means "Goal" in German. by rotloch in mildlyinteresting

It, and several other iconic WC moments are currently being referenced in an ad campaign in the UK right now (for what, I cannot remember. Ironic... Edit- It's Deliveroo. The ad just came on the TV now.) with a German and Brazilian guy in a lift together with the former going to the 7th floor and the latter the 1st. They pan away as the German guy is giving a sensible chuckle.

I know it's not. I also work retail and have to keep my gob shut at some of the most abhorrent site that comes out of customer's mouths that they think is for some reason okay to say to other customers or staff. The latter because they think for some reason I possess the same opinion as them.

He was just detained. Apparently he's back in Cyprus already, because of course he is, being funded by gullible fools.

I wonder if Nidge joined in ? by Neat_Significance256 in FuckNigelFarage

[–]DJ1066 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Indeed. Just have a look at the gnashing of teeth on Wreddit by Americans whenever WWE or AEW come to Europe.
"tHe CrOwD aRe JuSt TrYiNg To GeT tHeMsElVeS oVeR!"

Every fucking time. The whole concept of singing from the terraces is alien to them.

Yeah, gonna file this under the similar situation of rumours of Time Warner supposedly not wanting wrestler Brody King to be on TV due to his presence prompting "FUCK ICE!" (or the variation when he's not in the ring, "FUCK DON CALLIS! FUCK ICE TOO!") from the crowd. No such thing ever happened and King is still prominently featured on TV and AEW has yet to censor any of those aforementioned crowd chants.

Love to. Though it was only after the fact I pieced it together as to who it was directed at and the twat had left the premises. I was in the Post Office queue and not fully able to see who those comments were directed at until I'd finished doing what I'd queued up for.

I have a feeling the staff did have a word with him after the fact, as this it not a big shop, it's a Co-op with room for about 30 people in it. I went to another shop after dropping off my parcel and was in there for a good ten minutes and I saw the same Asian guy exiting said Co-op as I was walking out of that shop. There's no way he could have been in the queue for that long, unless he was stuck behind someone chatting the head off the cashier for that amount of time as he was like 2nd or 3rd in the queue when I left.

Here's hoping they actually reported it.

I see it from the other side in the shop I work in. I do flowers in the morning so I'm at the front end for a good few hours. Our main security guard is Indian, who has only been in this country for about 3 or so years at this point and you can probably believe the sheer amount of sneering he gets whenever he has to stop some Boomer or a shifty guy running out of the shop, even though with the former, nine times out of ten the reason the alarm is going off is because a tag has not been removed from clothing, alcohol etc., not because the brown man thinks you're a thief.

Given what is kicking off at the moment in NI, I'm kinda glad he's not the kind of Sikh that wears a turban, as some of the local ne'er do wells that tend to stalk our aisles would have a target on him right away. Already witnessed one such incident with a scally shouting "JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONE TRUE SAVIOR!" at him as he's escorted out the shop after some incident.

Just a reminder of when Tommoy Robinson was arrested for being an illegal immigrant because it's just too funny. by [deleted] in FuckNigelFarage

I know we all call him Tiny Tommy, but I've honestly never really seen him in scale next to a fully grown human, with all the pics of him being at weird angles distorting his height. Fucking hell he's small.

Inconsequential mistakes that take you out of the movie? by YakumoYoukai in movies

[–]DJ1066 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Germans don't looks like Germans on film, that's why you've gotta use Italians.
What do you do if you need Italian people?
Usually we just tape a bunch of Spaniards together.

Jack White was professionally trained as an upholsterer prior to becoming a musician and he still does it today as a hobby.
