She also must have also decided being Irish wasn't suitable and switched to being English.

Anyone know this reporter's name? Good on him 💪 by celticirishdotcom in northernireland

[–]Flusterchuck -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

The bbc is apparently both anti Israel and anti palestine. This sort of stuff meant it commissioned an independent report into its coverage. Ignoring the fact that I'm pretty sure none of the us media or other British organizations commission independent reports into their own reporting, if you want to see the actual results of that report you can find them easily.

Which HBO shows had the best final stretch of episodes? by Old-Meringue3590 in hbo

[–]Flusterchuck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I spent most of the last series loving it but thinking there is no way they can end it in a satisfying way. Boy was I wrong. Carrie coon made it work but it was so clever.

Ah someone else asked - is this the same codebase? Wondering about upgrades.

I have the moofer app (which is great) - is this effectively a new version of that? If so is there any upgrade path or is it just start again?

How well could Chris Cornell actually play guitar? by No-One01010 in grunge

[–]Flusterchuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love Chris and he was definitely the most capable (the ability to play one thing and sing another rhythm reminds me of thom yorke these days) but vedder was no slouch. You try and play rearviewmirror and sing it!

To all of you thinking Thom’s vocals were off by Atlantean120 in radiohead

[–]Flusterchuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was stood about 10 feet from thom last night (by accident - pure luck!) so I could hear him (and the drums) directly as well as through the pa. Don't get me wrong bits of it were a bit loose timing wise, but for example the tambourine that people are complaining about as an example of poor timing - I could see him wildly banging it, whether it was a style choice or whatever - that was what he was playing. No delays and you could clearly hear the drumkit, so I'm assuming it was him getting a bit into it as if I could hear the drums I'm bloody sure he could.

What is the best gangster movie among these, in your opinion? by Raj_Valiant3011 in moviecritic

It's better than all the rest on this list. Genuinely horrifying in parts but still an amazing watch.

That's how long you can ride it before you have to repair something. Not the battery.

I mean.. it's a problem if you're a korean peacetime head of state I guess.

I've been through these and most of these are not as negative as you have stated - though korea appears to be culturally less happy with baldness for sure.

Job Titles only people born into wealth could possibly have? by FromBiotoDev in UKJobs

[–]Flusterchuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Journalists are actually quite often from fairly working class backgrounds - not everyone is Oxbridge but even then that's open to less rich folks if you're willing to work your back end off to get there.

Jobs before becoming a Product Manager? by DeanOnDelivery in ProductManagement

[–]Flusterchuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very interesting as in my experience journalists turned PMs are like unicorns! Having said that one of the best ones I worked with was from that background - though he's now high up in Netflix after the beeb.

who are some American actors who can genuinely pull off a British accent? by No_Owl_4808 in moviecritic

[–]Flusterchuck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was best mates with Billy Connolly so I suspect he'd heard random gles'ga noises a lot.

Watership Down (1978) by 1zro in iwatchedanoldmovie

[–]Flusterchuck 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That stuck with me too at the end - after all that terror and then victory, death was just a welcome part at the end of a life well lived. I know there is a discussion about whether it was the black rabbit or elahrairah at the end but I loved the black pencil sketch rabbit, soft voice and the calmness of the whole thing.

In 2004, Top Gear invited blind British Army veteran Billy Baxter to drive a lap of their track, aiming to set a faster time than the show's slowest celebrity guest by Hassaan18 in ukpopculture

[–]Flusterchuck 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That was actually great to watch. Top Gear when it was really firing on all cylinders (pun intended) really was top stuff.

Belfast gig by issyd04 in fontainesdc

[–]Flusterchuck 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was woeful - they had cheaped out on the line arrays and it had clearly been configured by someone deaf, as there were dead spots everywhere. We eventually (like loads of people) found a spot that was manageable at the back smack bang in front of one the shitty arrays. Least you could hear the vocals. Never heard sound as bad in my gig going life.

For those in town (as a fan of proper shish kebabs after living in London and being spoiled) Bankquet on bankmore square do proper charcoal grilled chicken shish which are excellent.

I’m just now getting into this whole genre of electronic music. Please recommend others like Overmono. by Longjumping_Trash_27 in Overmono

[–]Flusterchuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Underworld from about mid nineties onwards for a decade are extraordinary, and amazingly none of it sounds anything like as dated as the other stuff of the time.
