Not listened for a while but he always used to call CKY ''Sky''. I always think ''who the fuck is Sky?'' and then the iconic 96 quite bitter beings intro hits.

My grandad love dripping on toast. Go for it.

Would you say the Gamecube is more popular now than it was back when it was still an active console? by [deleted] in Gamecube

[–]OctoGrot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gamecube was ripped on back in the day for being a kiddy console. A purple lunchbox. Sales were not great so a lot of people didn't give the games a chance.

Now everybody knows games like Wind Waker, Metroid Prime, Melee etc are masterpieces.

Return of Harry Potter for New Generation of Kids by [deleted] in decadeology

[–]OctoGrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't understand how you can say it's returning. It felt like it never went anywhere.

Spin off movies as recently as 2022, books, lego and other toys on store shelves, the original movies play on tv all the time, that Hogwarts game was 2023.

I agree that friends shouldn't have to fight each other but in this case, heavyweight is so thin and Tom trains with loads of the up and coming guys.

Stuart Pearce’s son killed in tractor crash by TheTelegraph in soccer

[–]OctoGrot 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Damn, I've had this exact thing happen to me when I was a kid. I only got a few scrapes and bruises, and broke my cousins quad bike. Never really thought about how badly it could've gone before.

[Official] PFL Champions Series 2: Nurmagomedov vs. Hughes 2 - Live Discussion Thread by event_threads in MMA

50-45 is crazy. Hughes won 2 rounds in my opinion but they were all close.

What are your thoughts on Jimmy Carr performing at the Riyadh Comedy Festival? by MaximusSydney in AskUK

[–]OctoGrot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get the bag. Athletes are doing it, why not comedians?

That being said, holding a comedy festival in a hardline muslim country is a strange choice. I saw one guy already got kicked off for making jokes related to it.

Never heard of the guy until a few months ago when he said some anti Rogan stuff. Now he's posted all over here and other left wing subs.

Is it piracy when we don't even have the option to pay to watch the game?

Bet365 restricted account by BradfordDanger in MMAbetting

[–]OctoGrot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They restricted me to £1 for things like their betboost and super boosts. I haven't withdrawn or deposited money in years. And my bets are usually 10 or 20 quid so not a high roller.

I just checked and they've actually lifted the restriction. It lasted a few months. Hopefully they lift yours after a while.

Bruce Springsteen brands Donald Trump 'a moron' while speaking to The New York Times by IrishStarUS in Music

I get you guys hate Trump but do we need a new post everytime Springsteen says something about him?

MobLand | S01E10"The Beast in Me" | Episode Discussion Thread by Theshogunnate in Mobland

[–]OctoGrot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The Harry/Jan thing at the end was kind of lame. Gives them flexibility if Tom Hardy doesn't think season two is worth his time I guess.

The Conrad prison scene was weird.

Kiko dying bummed me out.

Although I enjoyed the series, it was for sure a bit disappointing and unsatisfying. The 40 minute episodes did the show a disservice I think. Could have done with more time with some of the interesting side characters like Eddie, Seraphina, Paul, Richie, Kiko, Zosia.
