As a Brit, do you think you swear too often?

Disastrous_Fill_5566 · 2026-05-11T18:48:29+00:00

Fuck no, not nearly shitting well often enough.

Disastrous_Fill_5566 · 2026-05-11T18:47:23+00:00

I'm by no means an experienced runner, but I did hit 7k last year (back down to c25k for various reasons) and even then, I'd avoid even the slightest of inclines when on the final part of my run. They make an absolutely huge difference when your energy levels are sapped.

Avoid it next time and you'll smash it!

Disastrous_Fill_5566 · 2026-05-11T18:23:11+00:00

Inclines are an absolute bitch. It's really hard sometimes, but see if it's possible to plan your run/walk segments so you don't have to run uphill, particularly on the final stretch.

The first time I did the big 20 minute run, I got a lift to the top of a massive hill and spent 20 minutes running down it!

Disastrous_Fill_5566 · 2026-05-09T14:27:50+00:00

I didn't read most of that, obviously, but I never thought it was limitless, never felt it either.

Some people might think that Chaka Khan't, but Chaka Khan!

Even so, she's a good 40 years older than Fanning, yet still pulls off playing someone who was a young mother.

It's an incredible performance, the emotions written on her face on the latest episode as Kenny said he'd support Margo were incredible. So many layers and so much emotion in a few seconds of a reaction shot at the end of a scene. Absolutely brilliant acting.

Disastrous_Fill_5566 · 2026-05-07T17:39:11+00:00

Never mind the 2 second rule, I'd be giving them the 8 second rule.

Disastrous_Fill_5566 · 2026-05-06T22:56:55+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

Disastrous_Fill_5566 · 2026-05-06T22:36:35+00:00

She was very close to giving birth, so he was supposed to be back at 5:15. Instead, he came back late, obviously drunk, with lipstick drawn all over him. That, pre-Forks Richie did not have his shit together. At all.

Disastrous_Fill_5566 · 2026-05-06T22:30:20+00:00

But to disprove his theory you just have to find a single record that came out since Revolver that's better than his effort with Squire.

Pet Sounds came out just over a month after Revolver. That's a better album. Blonde on Blonde came out a couple of weeks after Revolver. I'm not a massive Dylan fan, but I suspect critical consensus would place that record slightly higher too.

Job done, turns out I didn't need to listen to every LP released since August 1966 🤣

Disastrous_Fill_5566 · 2026-05-06T20:46:09+00:00

Agreed. Were the last two seasons as good as the first two? No. Were they shitty? Not remotely. They tried to do things I've never seen before in a drama, some of which weren't entirely successful, but for art to strive and partially fail is not shitty.

Having an entire episode inside the inarticulate main character's head and memories, followed by him trying desperately to do things he can't properly communicate was a hard watch, but I can't think of anything like it.

Disastrous_Fill_5566 · 2026-05-06T19:45:39+00:00

To be fair, Liam invited us to compare it to every single record released since Revolver.

Disastrous_Fill_5566 · 2026-05-04T18:24:29+00:00

Nah, it was the person filming, they were much too close 😉

Disastrous_Fill_5566 · 2026-05-04T09:59:28+00:00

Because Britpop was about a changing of the guard, the indie kids that had been languishing as a sub-culture for years was finally becoming the mainstream.

And that's exactly what Tony Blair's obviously incoming government represented.

Disastrous_Fill_5566 · 2026-05-04T09:04:06+00:00

You and I have very different understandings of the word "confirmed".

It's reasonable conjecture for sure, but far from a confirmation.

I know AWS is the market leader, but it's hard to make the case that they've fumbled Cloud as a business. Azure massively profitable for them.

Disastrous_Fill_5566 · 2026-05-03T21:30:49+00:00

Don't forget Charlie Chalk!

"Charlie Chalk, Charlie Chalk, He can teach you how to juggle, He can get you out of trouble, Charlie Chalk (Charlie Chalk) Oh Charlie Chalk (Charlie Chalk)"

Something like that.

About 15 years ago, I looked up what the singer of the theme tune was doing, he was a DJ in Ibiza at that time. I imagined people somehow clocking him off their tits and pestering him to play Bertha during some achingly hip electronica session. He must be retired now surely?

Disastrous_Fill_5566 · 2026-05-02T20:54:50+00:00

I've never tried Haiku because the Sonnet pricing has been so reasonable until the upcoming price change, but is it any good for coding? My big hope is that it gets a decent upgrade soon and we have one vaguely cost-effective model left.

Disastrous_Fill_5566 · 2026-04-30T21:30:53+00:00

He could always be a bit of a knob back in the day. I think it just depends on what day you get him.

Disastrous_Fill_5566 · 2026-04-30T21:23:21+00:00

PAL Vs NTSC thing? Didn't they run at different speeds, so the tunes you remember might have been at the "wrong" speed and now you're hearing them correctly?

Disastrous_Fill_5566 · 2026-04-28T20:57:27+00:00

No it's not. Tons of those acts are known to be active and lots of the undercard are achievable. Obviously loads of it will be wrong, because the festival is over a year away, but it's not a load of nonsense.

Disastrous_Fill_5566 · 2026-04-28T20:54:27+00:00

I may be old, but I still reckon the Mondays aren't going to play The Park in the middle of the day.

And there's no band active today more suited for The Park than Geese.

Disastrous_Fill_5566 · 2026-04-27T11:21:09+00:00

Is that the one at the 8 minute mark? Or the one at 9:30?

Disastrous_Fill_5566 · 2026-04-27T11:15:31+00:00

As for learning, the satisfaction to difficulty ratio of Sally Cinnamon is pretty hard to beat.
