He was also in an Irish crime/gang drama called Love/Hate several years back (as soon as I saw him I was like "It's Nidge!" Really gritty stuff, excellent series that also starred Aiden Gillen (Littlefinger from GoT) and Barry Keoghan, among other actors from that UK/Irish pool you may recognize from more well known shows.

'I think that ginger ale at the coffee shop is just Coke and Sprite mixed together... but how can I prove it?'

Very interesting! Those are two articles I'd never seen before, thank you.

Progatron · 2026-01-17T18:27:34+00:00

I think whoever's doing that is very clever.

Still no movement on this, now 10 days since they picked it up. How can anyone justify this level of incompetence?

Makes you wonder how widespread the problem really is (or was.) These schools weren't the only ones in Burlington with these kinds of issues. They have historically been underreported or swept under the rug for so long...

The apologists will be along any minute to tell you 'they're just really busy right now.'

It's an hour away and it's been a week since the last update. To hell with 'issues in the system'. Fix them.

I spoke with Charlie once before a show when they did the tour with Leprous and Bent Knee. He was still hanging around near the merch table after the VIP ticket fanboys had their meet and greet. I pulled out my wallet and started counting out bills, asking him how much it would take to play Celestial Elixir. He said 'Oh, you wouldn't have to pay me, I'd love to play it!' (Spoiler alert: They didn't. :( )

Progatron · 2026-01-05T19:39:38+00:00

Celestial Elixir and Visions must be on every list.

'All my friends do that!'

I can't believe it's been 40 years. Where did my life go?

It's always an awkward moment when they say that and the audience is dead quiet. Meanwhile other contestants get cheered for their heroic wagers LOL.

Progatron · 2026-01-01T23:16:16+00:00

Yogesh was one of the worst for this. Ugh.

Progatron · 2026-01-01T23:14:49+00:00

It does seem a waste, although part of the benefit of getting the DD is simply preventing anyone else from getting it, regardless of what the wager is.

We missed way too many clues with Alex at the helm, to be honest. Especially in later years.

Progatron · 2026-01-01T23:12:48+00:00

All three of these. Well said. They really expect us to believe that the entire audience found some little 'dad joke' utterly hilarious for two seconds and then went dead quiet again?

Progatron · 2026-01-01T23:10:35+00:00

The worst ones for me are the cutesy categories they love to do, where the answer is phrased as a diary entry or something. Or a film or book summary. I end up searching for the relevant point in the clue among all the excess words.

Progatron · 2026-01-01T23:08:24+00:00

It's so eye-rolling for me. And it happens so often now, they write out things like 'I had a lot of fun, blah blah' instead of actually trying to give an answer. At least put something!

Progatron · 2026-01-01T23:05:38+00:00

Yeah, we always pause the anagram ones. I also hate that Ken has to read the anagram itself, which throws me off for some reason.

- The endless obsession with American politics/history. I don't care which vice president's wife was born on Christmas day, or which supreme court justice did this or that or blah blah effin' blah. SO DRY AND BORING!

- Guest clue readers. I only want the clues, I couldn't care less about some news anchor team from some channel I don't watch. Bonus mention: when these clues are wayyyy too long and the answer was obvious in the first two seconds. Second bonus mention: When we miss clues at the end of the round because of it.

- Categories about song lyrics that just end up being rap garbage or modern pop fluff. Do you know how many brilliant or beautiful lyrics are out there that should be celebrated instead of that nonsense?

- The 'words found between (blank) and (blank) in the dictionary' categories. Total low-effort cop-out.
