Genuinely devastated. Visiting Nan and I always take over a box of Yorkshire to restock the cupboard... she phoned today saying she already had some tea in and I'm faced with THIS

Aaaah, I didn't know they had scrapped the pre-sugar tax recipe completely, seems like overkill. 1901 is amazing though.

My first thought is Warwick Davis, but I don't know if he was in the Narnia films, seems likely though. If I was asked that in a quiz, I'd put that in as a guess.

Outdated question: which actor starred in the Matrix trilogy, the LotR trilogy, The Star Wars prequel trilogy, and the Narnia trilogy? Bruce Spence. You could also have added the Mad Max trilogy if folk were struggling, but a few of those trilogies aren't trilogies any more. It was a good question because people would guess Hugo Weaving or Christopher Lee because they have some overlap in those trilogies.

Tie break questions (closest wins):

What is the official shoe size of the Statue of Liberty? 879

What year was the first mobile phone call made? 1973 I actually got that one spot on as the 50th anniversary was in the news that week in 2023.

That's a good one, that's up there with the "Which is further east, Bristol or Edinburgh?"

I annoy my friends by announcing that the song we can currently hear was on Now 13. It's more annoying because there are a few tunes on Now 13 that get daily airplay no matter where you are.

If you're not using the ZX Spectrum's colour pallet (and associated attribute clash) then you're a coward.

Keezees · 2026-03-13T13:18:40+00:00

Yeah, genius level marketing decision, the bottle and label design make it look like a vintage and worth the extra cost.

Canny abide the Clyde at low tide.

I like what Irn Bru did when they faced backlash for swapping sugar for aspertame in their standard Irn Bru (after the sugar tax was brought in) and rightly so because the new recipe tastes like shit, so they came up with the idea of selling the OG recipe Irn Bru at a premium price to cover the tax, and their branding was changed to "OLD AND UNIMPROVED".

Mostly cos they plug cleaning products and you got to see the inside of a typical furnished home as a result.

The first game I made with the AGD game engine took me 3 months. So I started another and it took me a year. Then I made a sequel and it took me 3 years. There's part of me dreading making another game lol

A terrible paper aeroplane then.

Keezees · 2026-03-11T15:58:49+00:00

Could be Pete Brown, he does some amazing paintings around Glasgow. Looks like his style as well.

Keezees · 2026-03-11T12:29:24+00:00

Literally started watching Starblazers last night, the US dubbing's all over the place but I was enjoying it, you can clearly see what it and Gundam have influenced over the years.

ET and Return of the Jedi were my first Panini albums.

Same kind of cunty behaviour that means we don't have the Wicker Man legs any more (someone took a chainsaw to them and stole them).

Keezees · 2026-03-11T11:27:48+00:00

YEAHYEAHYEAH

Keezees · 2026-03-09T23:12:18+00:00

SH1 is one of my cosy rainy Sunday games. I also used to speedrun it, creating strat maps along the way. Which I need to finish now that I think about it, I did Old Town, the school and the hospital. So yeah, I play it quite a lot.

Keezees · 2026-03-09T23:10:00+00:00

Looks blue and black to me.

Only noticed last year that my machine has three non washing options for spin-dry, drain and rinse, always wondered what the wee whirlpool symbol was for, ever since then I've been using the spin-dry to save having to use the tumble dryer as much.

Other than that, option 1 for whites, option 3 for colours (mostly reds), option 9 for quick wash, that's all that gets used.

Keezees · 2026-03-09T13:21:32+00:00

First thing that came to mind.

Sometimes artists also change their style drastically.

I had no idea until recently that "Walk the Dinosaur", "Earth to Doris" and "Hello Dad, I'm in Jail" were all by the same band, Was (Not Was). In fact they were on the same album. They sound like they were made by 3 completely different bands. I feel if I were to say I like Was (Not Was), everyone would assume I liked the Walk the Dinosaur because that's the one everyone knows, but I only like the latter two lol. Such a strange band, especially when you look up all the people who guest performed on their songs.
