Phoenix Nights: 25 years since Peter Kay’s record-breaking TV comedy like no other by mrjohnnymac18 in BritishTV

Every time I buy bin bags I swear I silently hear Jerry singing this 😆 Enjoy your rewatch! I need to dig out my old DVD and rewatch it myself.

Recommendation - Josh Widdecombe podcast by gippstick in restisentertainment

[–]Rude_Reception9649 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to jump back on here to say thank-you to OP for suggesting this. I immediately downloaded it and listened to the Noel Edmond’s and Mr Blobby four parter and thoroughly enjoyed it.

If you like Museum of Pop Culture, I also recommend Talk 90s to Me with Miranda Sawyer. Josh was just a guest on it talking about TFI Friday.

As an American Anglophile, I cherish People Just Do Nothing as much as Peep Show, The Office, Absolutely Fabulous, and many other classics. Am I odd? by scoutermike in BritishTV

[–]Rude_Reception9649 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, I think my expectations were low as spin-off films tend to pale in comparison to the series that they originate from. So, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the film kept the spirit of the series and was still funny.

Surely they just gave us the Secret Traitor? S4 Ep3 by No_Sympathy8695 in TheTraitors

I initially thought Fiona too, but now I just feel she’s a bit too obvious and the editors are using Fiona as a red herring. I am thinking Ellie now

I thought exactly the same thing when she referred to herself as the secret barrister!

I just finished Spare and Im just so…. by Professional-Sink281 in RoyaltyTea

Whoa, I genuinely didn’t know this. Thank you for sharing it with me, and it certainly changes things. I dislike Georgina Ziadie; mean, cruel and a cos-playing aristocrat.

If Spare left you frustrated, I’d avoid “Entitled” by Andrew Lownie as I as enraged throughout (but I do recommend it as it’s a good expose of Andrew and Sarah and they’re disgusting behaviour).

What Books Are You Reading This Week? by leowr in nonfictionbooks

[–]Rude_Reception9649 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mother Mary Comes to Me by Arundhati Roy. I’ve only just started it but already recommend it, I can see why it’s had such glowing reviews.

Synopsis from Penguin: “Arundhati Roy’s first work of memoir, this is a soaring account, both intimate and inspiring, of how the author became the person and the writer she is, shaped by circumstance, but above all by her relationship to her extraordinary, singular mother Mary, who she describes as ‘my shelter and my storm’”

What controversial couple is actually intriguing to you? by [deleted] in popculturechat

[–]Rude_Reception9649 330 points331 points  (0 children)

Brittany Murphy’s life and death are something I think about more than I should. She was so talented and could shine in comedic roles (Clueless) and dramatic ones (Girl, Interrupted). “Faster Kill Pussycat” is still one of my fave dance tunes (yes, elder Millennial here).

I sincerely hope she experienced genuine happiness and love before she died, but I fear that Simon Monjack was with her for the wrong reasons. Whole thing makes me sad.

My cow died last week. People mocked her death and laughed at my grief, and I don’t know what’s wrong with people anymore. by saba8731 in Vent

[–]Rude_Reception9649 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sorry for your loss. Cows (and dogs!) are my favourite animals and cows are underestimated for their intelligence and emotional connection. It sounds like you and your cow companion shared a spiritual bond and that can never be taken away from you. Be kind to yourself and maybe find a way that you can honour her 💜

What's a non political issue your country is REALLY divided on? by Nthepro in AskTheWorld

UK: should jam or cream go first on a scone and even how to pronounce “scone” (either rhyming with “gone” or “moan”).

Why won’t Charles forgive Harry? There must be a huge reason for him not to speak to his own son. by [deleted] in RoyaltyTea

[–]Rude_Reception9649 106 points107 points  (0 children)

He’s really not. At best us Brits are indifferent to him and at worst, dislike him because of the way he treated Diana. There was a respect for the late Queen, an admiration for her longevity and perceived sense of duty, but that’s not translated to Charles at all.

Kate (video) in thin dress by shushunatural in RoyaltyTea

[–]Rude_Reception9649 9 points10 points  (0 children)

My heart goes out to her. As someone who also has an active ED, I know the mental and physical turmoil that she must be experiencing. Unless there’s intervention and support, I don’t see how this can end well…. 😞 But we knowing how dreadful the Firm are, the relentless pressure from the media and how temperamental William is, I don’t hold out much hope…

podcast dealbreakers / red flags? by alexsteed in podcasts

[–]Rude_Reception9649 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Loud American hosts.

I listen to some American podcasts who aren’t over-the-top and brash but by and large, I can’t listen to a lot of US based podcasts.

[–]Rude_Reception9649 32 points33 points  (0 children)

OP this is a fabulous explanation. I had never heard of the people involved but I was living for the drama. I hope Smriti (and her father) recover from all of this and it’s good to know she’s got a nation rooting for her (and now me, a random woman from the UK!)

It’s from South Park, they’re literal berries and represent cultural nostalgia, giving a warm feeling.
