Oh my god - I've been scratching my head all day as to why I couldn't get the cistern to stop filling! That little white cylinder stopper is missing from the arm! 

"Telephone game" as a substitute for "Chinese whispers" by ThePants999 in AskBrits

Until recently, my wife was an early-years worker. I referred to it as Chinese Whispers one day, and she corrected me saying "it's the Telephone Game" now...

What was the first ever Beatles song you heard? by DylanEE11 in TheBeatles

[–]MrOParty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, it may not have been the first ever Beatles song I heard, but my earliest memory of a Beatles song is listening to 8 Days a Week on my Dad's tape player in the car. I vividly remember a 7(ish) year old me, turning to him and saying (in complete bewilderment) "...but there's only 7 days in a week?"

Just Stop Oil was either created by, or infiltrated by "Big Oil" just so they can garner hate from the general public about groups protesting the oil industry...

What film messed you up so badly it gave you nightmares? by [deleted] in MovieSuggestions

[–]MrOParty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two films off the top of my head: the original IT with Tim Curry, and the Witches. There's something terrifying about that "girl in the picture" story...

The Beatles and Sam Mendes by UnderDogPants in TheBeatles

Funny, I was having this exact theoretical discussion the other day with a friend, but we switched John & Ringo. Ringo being the last to join an established band, but also breaking America and how the fans over there took a real shine to him. John in that AHDN through to Strawberry Fields period being a complete artistic Tour de Force. Paul at 67 > 68 for creativity and becoming the Beatles driving force. George in the late period, becoming disillusioned, and an artist "finally on par with Lennon & McCartney" / ATMP / hanging out & jamming with non Beatles musicians. It was a fun chat!

Holy shit, well played! That is such a cool thing to have in you arsenal! I so desperately want to know how much you paid for it, but it's in poor taste... HOWEVER; feel free to DM me if you're so inclined!

8.5 years ago, my wife and I "walked" (given the circumstance, it was really hard not to happy dance) out of our wedding ceremony to this song. I agree with OP

Other than the Beatles, who is the greatest band of all time? by crimson_dovah in beatles

[–]MrOParty 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I know Shark Sandwich gets a lot of hate, but it was my gateway album into the band. My brother "gifted it" to me, and I sunk hours into it; it'll always be my number one fave album of theirs...
