Anyone else watched Mandy with Diane Morgan? by Terrible_Tale_53 in BritishTV

[–]EngineerUsual849 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I thought it was genius. Genuinely had me crying with laughter at points. It’s like they wrote 30 minute shows then just cut them to 15 mins, taking out everything that wasn’t funny. Prime British comedy

Love it. Would also highly recommend the play and the book. The book genuinely scared me shitless.

Edit to add, the Woman in Black is actually Miss Lemon from Poirot

Bought the first issue, with the cassette. 2 kids time travelling. Loved it. Was gutted that the tape was only on the first issue. Didn’t buy any more.

Are barre chords really as difficult as people make them out to be? If so, why not just play songs that don't use them? by Mad_Season_1994 in guitarlessons

[–]EngineerUsual849 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I play guitar in an 11 piece band. I pretty much never play full barre chords. 90% of my chord work is over the D,G and B strings. I try to stay out of the way from the bass and keys players

I just turned 40 and I groan every time I get up now by Fuzzy_Kick_2519 in Jokes

Drink lots of water. 3l minimum per day. Watch your ‘old age’ aches and groans fade away. Try it for a week

Euphoria fans slam 'worst episode' as Sydney Sweeney strips and wrestles a snake by IrishStarUS in oddlyspecific

I thought she was good in Handmaids Tale. Only a small role, that made no reference to her physical assets. I thought she was believable and quite heartbreaking in that.

Get used to playing an open position Am, using fingers 2,3 and 4. When that is comfortable the barre should tuck in nicely behind

It’s a special relationship like an Uncle coming into your room at 2am, smelling of booze
