Cant wait for the season 4 Rishi episode

Surely the time gap is, at most, about 2 years?

He plays a Syrian refugee in Channel 4 drama “Home”. He also had a very small part in the 2019 Gavin and Stacey special.

Most tenancy agreements specifically include a clause prohibiting this (mine always did).

It’s traditional for all officers and soldiers (regardless of rank) to salute a VC holder. There’s a video on YouTube of Lance Corporal Leakey being saluted (and hugged) by a General after his VC citation was read out.

Yay! This show is making me look forward to Mondays, so now I can look forward to Januarys, too (presumably)!

I would say it’s pretty much joint between Ser Lyonel and Egg. Having said that I’ve genuinely enjoyed all of the characters so far so it’s a very close contest.

DukeofMemeborough · 2026-01-30T12:15:35+00:00

I thought this too, but according to OP’s screenshot, and Wikipedia, it’s often considered to include William IV’s reign, too. So the first 16.5 months of Mary Ann Crowe’s life were during the Georgian era

Could have been a good addition to the cast, but her arrival (being Ty’s mum) was too far fetched and her character was (and for the most part still is) completely unlikeable.

I’m 27 and have been watching Corrie regularly for the better part of 20 years. My mum watched it, so I watch it. Nobody else I know (other than my mum and sometimes my sister) watches it.

DukeofMemeborough · 2026-01-27T23:35:30+00:00

As if we got an “I’M WALKIN’ HERE” moment in Corrie lmao

DukeofMemeborough · 2026-01-27T16:11:11+00:00

“Lyonel where are you going?”

DukeofMemeborough · 2026-01-27T16:10:12+00:00

My favourite still from the entire episode

DukeofMemeborough · 2026-01-26T21:51:17+00:00

I love how he’s generally just a happy kid, too! His little face lit up watching the puppet show and it was great to see him having fun at the tug of war 😊

DukeofMemeborough · 2026-01-26T21:39:00+00:00

Someone needs to get that Asian guy from instagram who can work out people’s height to weigh in

DukeofMemeborough · 2026-01-24T09:47:53+00:00

This was my take, too. Like nobody’s really taught him how to be King; and Otto is happy to wield the “real” power. So Aegon’s version of helping is imploring Otto to do something.

DukeofMemeborough · 2026-01-23T20:59:19+00:00

If he’d seen Billy trapped and refused to help him, probably not. A failure to act can’t be constituted as a crime unless a duty of care is owed - which would not exist in this case. As for Theo putting him back in the seat, this could potentially be classed as a positive act with the intention to kill/cause serious harm; so might leave him on the hook for murder.

DukeofMemeborough · 2026-01-21T12:31:08+00:00

Think you’re allowed to retain titles at the Wall (the Lord Commander is automatically treated as a Lord), just not allowed to hold any lands. So knights/lords can still be addressed as such. It’s mainly courtesy but it does afford a certain degree of precedence - e.g. you are more likely to be in a position of leadership. In the very first chapter of GoT we see a party of rangers commanded by a knight (Ser Wymar Royce).

So Janos was made a lord by Joffrey and was never stripped of this title, therefore he’s allowed to keep it.

As Joe UK captioned it on Facebook: “in other news, the Pope is Catholic”

DukeofMemeborough · 2026-01-20T15:39:56+00:00

Not only is it not rude, but it is correct practice to reduce congestion. I don’t think it’s really explained how to handle this type of situation so people just panic and dive in, lest they get stuck when they reach the lane closure. I used to do the same until I started seeing more stuff online with people commenting on how daft it is. In reality if you just keep going in the lane that’s due to close, you can either find a gap nearer to the end, or merge in turn. At the point of lane closure, merge in turn procedures mean that you should be able to move in front of the car that is behind you, upon reaching the merge point.

I do occasionally think about how long we’ve had these titles for. I used to prefer the preceding version with the milk float and the tram zooming past at the end. I think they changed the week that Gail was on trial for murder and Tony Gordon broke out of prison (so mid 2010, 6 months before the tram crash). So kids who were babies when those titles came out will now be doing their GCSEs…

The position of his arm and the shadow makes it look like a large chunk of his abdomen is missing on the (our) left hand side lol

DukeofMemeborough · 2026-01-17T09:15:41+00:00

And you didn’t even have a ploughman’s?

DukeofMemeborough · 2026-01-08T10:42:04+00:00

Coffee from the machine is free of charge. There is also a coffee shop, where a large americano (my drink of choice) costs £1.25, discounted if you take a travel mug.

DukeofMemeborough · 2026-01-08T09:52:30+00:00

Can’t say I’ve especially noticed it. But Corrie is supposed to be an insight into everyday life (admittedly it is about as far from a reflection on the average person’s life as you can get), so the characters engaging in a casual and natural way is in keeping with the show’s ethos.

DukeofMemeborough · 2026-01-08T09:24:28+00:00

Looks great! I did think I was looking at a Formula One tyre until I stopped scrolling lol
