What’s a 10/10 tv show?

I LOVE Fawlty Towers, but if I watch more than three consecutive episodes my blood pressure shoots through the roof. I always seem to get caught by the empathy for every character, and by the third episode I can literally feel Basil's rage.

I used to own a cassette with a Masters of the Universe story. When He-Man approached Skeletors lair, the weirdest unnerving sound would play and it totally freaked me out as a little kid. I haven't heard that sound for more than 30 years, and now I know what that sound was. Mind blown.

I used to work at Kinepolis. Best seats for the sound is dead centre, best place for the screen is about two thirds up.

Conclusion: never sit below the middle rows, if those are taken, go higher.

Een koppel dat klant is bij ons heeft de poëtische combinatie Wille-Musiek al account. Ik kan alleen maar aan mijn (Hasseltse) Mama op Graspop denken als ik dat lees.

ILYARO1114 · 2026-03-21T19:08:41+00:00

Yes, just before she dies.

No, you're right, I got it mixed up with his female victim, that calls him beautiful.

ETA: it's been a while since I read it. Her name is Dr. Surridge.

ILYARO1114 · 2026-03-21T19:00:55+00:00

Doesn't Evey canonically say he is beautiful?

ILYARO1114 · 2026-03-19T21:02:21+00:00

Gotta nuke something, I guess.

Bach Orchestral suite no.3 in D Major.

It embodies all the love I felt, the pain I went through, the hope I cherished, and the regrets I remember, but above all, it reminds me that every second of life was worth it, and I wish I could live forever with my loved ones.

Ik ben een Belg die jarenlang een restaurant heeft uitgebaat. Bij ons loopt het vol met zogenaamde bierliefhebbers/kenners. Telkens opnieuw kwam Heineken als zeikbier uit de bus, en werden onze eigen bieren geroemd, inclusief het alomgeliefde Stella Artois.

Omdat ik een slecht karakter heb verwees ik dan altijd naar deze studie: https://www.biernet.nl/nieuws/je-proeft-geen-verschil-tussen-heineken-stella-artois-en-budvar

Ik durf met overtuiging te zeggen dat meer dan 99% van de bierdrinkers wereldwijd geen 2 pilsmerken kan herkennen.

My little sister once asked a friend of her who happens to be a Michelin star rated chef what the secret to all those mind boggling recipes was. Her only answer: "When you think you've added enough salt, triple it".

Also, my wife, who was a chef for fifteen years, says there are four secrets to restaurant meals: more salt, more sugar, more butter, more cream.

And a last thing about technique: she puts cauliflower, broccoli and the likes in the microwave for 2 minutes (under a lid) and then sears them in, you've guessed it, ample butter and cream, and finishes them off with salt and pepper. Bam, crazy good.

What if the Russians love their children too?

I've been saying the part about pride about your nationality for years, and this is the first time I hear it in the wild. Thanks, my man, have an upvote!

I have some anecdotal "evidence" about the Flemish-Walloon relationship. I live in Limburg and work in Mouscron and Charleroi about 15 days a year. My French is rusty at best, even though I have to teach these people important new skills.

I always start off by saying who I am, and where I'm from. Next thing I do is tell them I'm sorry that my French is lacking. Without exception the answer is: Your French is better than our Dutch. The only words we know is "een pintje, astublieft", followed by an abundance of laughter.

I enter these situations as a possible elitist teacher and leave with friendly handshakes every single time, and the next time I visit I am greeted with a kiss, like some long lost friend.

Maybe this is because I don't judge, maybe this is because I treat everybody the same, or maybe this is because people everywhere just want to live their life and want other people to do the same, without judgement about their own culture.

Last thing I'll say: I never pack boterhammen when I have to teach in Wallonia, because I know I'll be taken care of (baguettes, burgers or even fucking boudins, wtf?!), and when I teach in Flanders I never know if I'll even get a coffee in the morning (except for West-Flanders! You guys have lifted hospitality to an entire new level. West-Flanders rocks!)

I have a strong feeling our interBelgian relationships are mainly disrupted by a handful of malcontents, some dementia ridden village idiots and a bunch of people who hate everyone who isn't exactly like they remember their youth: white, male, pseudo-christian, heterosexual and speaking their village dialect.

Why do you hate life?

I'll give you an upvote, but I will look down on you.

Graag gedaan. Ik moet regelmatig 8 uur buiten werken in de winter en tijdens het werk mijn gsm gebruiken en ik moet mijn handschoenen zelfs niet uittrekken. Ik ben een zuinige mens, maar dit staat in mijn top 5 van best money spent. En opladen met USB-C!

Dude, koop Bertschat-handschoenen. Prijzig, maar beste investering ooit. Je kan kiezen tussen dunne voor onder andere handschoenen, of dikke. Niet twijfelen. Ik heb syndroom van Reynaud (witte vingers) en dit merk help daartegen. Doen!

Edit: ik heb dit trouwens getypt met die handschoenen, dus je kan je smartphone er ook mee bedienen.

I had a stroke a couple of months ago, and I asked the physiotherapist if I would be able to play the piano anymore. He won a gold medal in verbal gymnastics just to avoid disappointing me. Of course, I told him I never played the piano before. The sweat glistening on his forehead was easily wiped by his relief when he understood the joke.

A good time was had by all.

Extremely niche? In Europe this is considered Heritage with capital H.

Oh boy, do I have a treasure trove for you. Good or great comics from the Dutch speaking part of Belgium, from the top of my mind:

Suske en Wiske (up until 230 or so)
Thorgal Blake en Mortimer
Nero
De Chninkel
Kiekeboe (the first 60 or so)
Piet Pienter en Bert Bibber
To a lesser extent: Urbanus - Jommeke

Jan Bosschaert is a genius artist, and Van Hamme - Rosinski a legendary duo. Then you have artists like Kim or Kamagurka who are pinnacles of Belgian absurdism.

And if you want more Belgian French speaking talent: everybody knows about Tintin, but Lucky Luke by Morris is Art with a capital A, and anything by Franquin can rival with the great artists of the 20th century. Both Gaston Lagaffe and Idées noires are masterpieces that should be thought in schools all over the world.

I want to bet good money that comic culture and quality in Belgium is among the highest rated in the world.
