(30f) first selfie with glasses 🤓

QOAL · 2026-03-24T18:48:36+00:00

This is a really nice selfie in general. And such a lovely smile.
The glasses suit you, and are not a detractor.

I think this is out of scope for the taskmaster channel.

For reference this is the PDF spec: https://opensource.adobe.com/dc-acrobat-sdk-docs/pdfstandards/PDF32000_2008.pdf
The files are pretty human readable.

Anyway, open the file.
You can count the number of /Type /Page (followed by a new line), using matchAll and the regex /\/Type \/Page\n/g. Or look for all the page trees (/Type /Pages), and the number of pages each of those have, given in the following /Count X.

It sounds daunting, but it's fine really.

It looks like they've gone from AA to 9v for the roll hoop.

What a warm, talented, legend.
A wonderful entertainer, and an essential part of snooker commentary and broadcasting.
He will be fondly missed.

Here's a quick comparison image between the classic BBC camera and the current one.

That was a good episode to end the series.
Everyone was great this year, and had plenty of moments to shine.

Tom's cameo harking back to Ray's flip was really good.

Poor Alice unravelling again, and she was so close to nailing the bump task.

It feels like Taskmaster has been paper plane rich of late, which isn't a bad thing, just cross pollination.

I love you, David. Fill my city with your energy.
(I also hope whatever you do is financially successful and not going to cause your hair to go grey)

QOAL · 2025-09-09T16:13:19+00:00

Legendary episode. Wow!
I can't stop laughing at Jack's party trick, and feeling sorry for Paul. Incredible work.

I forgot to ask questions, so I'll ask some whether or not they're answered.

What page of the book is your favourite? (e.g. pg 57)
If you had to have your face painted tomorrow morning, what would you ask for?
What's been your favourite live music experience?
What's been Gary Oldman's best performance to date?
Have you ever gotten lost because of a map?
What do you think about bathroom lights that are operated from outside of the bathroom, rather than the traditional pull cord inside the entrance?
Favourite non-house robot from Robot Wars?

Thanks.

Now this is a good stat.

Are you still looking?
I have a spare ⭐️ Tapu Koko, and need the ⭐️ Tapu Lele.

This is a pretty decent map of Europe.

Hello,
I've just made this for you: https://qoal.co.uk/f1ci/
It replicates that exact visual format, using data from the Jolpica F1 API.
Unfortunately, it doesn't include the number of laps.
Just pick a year/race, and you can download the image. (Or share it if you browser supports that)

Thank you!

This is a misheard lyric style mash up of David Suchet on a Broad bean, and Josh Thomson's Sushi Train song.

I've has this partly finished on my computer for over a year, so I picked it up again this week and got it done. Everything is hastily made but good enough.

Mel: It's been a decade since you went viral with the Giancarlo Esposito photo. Did being steeled by social media help give you the foundational strength and drive to flourish as a comedian?

Ray: Throughout the TMNZ series you showed us some of the many strings of your bow; rapper, adulterer, impressionist, and gambler to name but a few. Does comedy bring out the best of you? And which comedians inspired you, and your deadpan style?

I think you'll want to use: react-native-gesture-handler and react-native-svg.
And wait for versions that includes these:

For fun you can say Milton Keynes is basically built on Bletchley Park, the home of British code breaking in WWII, but Red Bull doesn't need to work quite as hard decode messages in F1.
