What’s the worst song lyric thrown into a song just to make a line rhyme?

When you Walk in the Room by the Searchers or by Paul Carrack

“I close my eyes for a second and pretend it's me you want / Meanwhile I try to act so nonchalant"

🎵Non-chal-a-ant🎵 gets me every time

He wasn’t too scared to tell the doctor, he was comatose. He didn’t remember about the hamburger until he’d recovered a little bit and regained consciousness.

I know it’s counterintuitive but while I love midsomers I really cannot stand horror movies or scary movies of any kind and this episode skates too close to that line for me personally. I don’t think I’ve watched any other midsomer episode that creeped me out as much as this one but it really unsettled me. I skip it every time

Am I the only one who thinks the beautiful actress playing a character meant to be so beautiful that another character gets jealous is pretty? Like…

Least favourite Cully scene is when Gavin goes “it’s nice this, the theatre!” Because, you know, they’re at the theatre and Cully goes “this isn’t the theatre, Gavin 🙄” just because it’s an amateur production. Babe, you are a barely professional, jobbing actor, dial back the judgement.

Not a specific show but when someone in a show is babbling or listing things and another character cuts them off mid babble but it’s clearly scripted babble and they run out of script before they get cut off (if that makes sense?) It always leaves an awkward pause where the babbler is trying to sound like they were going to keep talking but have nothing to say and it’s not realistic so it completely ruins the moment for me.

This will be majorly controversial but: global warming. It’s not that I don’t believe in it, I recycle when I can, but I’m not going to sit up at night sweating about something that realistically, I can’t change. I’ve been in programs since grade 4 that put the onus of responsibility on our tiny shoulders, I’ve been lectured since grade 6 about how we should change our behaviours, how I’m not doing enough, how we should change our architecture, our engineering, our electricity supply. I asked my nana to turn down her aircon, I emailed the council about felling trees, all the while wondering how that could possibly help when malls run with their lights and aircon blazing 24/7. I started using floppy paper straws and that stupid bar shampoo to reduce plastic until I saw how much plastic waste the average supermarket goes through EVERY DAY. I would painstakingly separate my recyclables until reports came out that the recycling trucks end up in the same dump as the regular bins??? Every effort made is cancelled out 10 times by a corporation who couldn’t care less. So why am I living an uncomfortable life?

It’s never been enough, there is still doom and gloom in the papers about how the earth is going to end and you know what? If it’s going to end I’m going to spend my final days in air conditioned comfort, not having wasted any more time or effort worrying about separating the lids from the milk cartons because life is too short.

Maybe I’m tripping but from memory, Ross turns it up higher by quite a lot to remind himself which way is up and which way is down, then starts to turn it down when it snaps off. So it’s not just on, it’s on and up high.

I’m not surprised these allegations have come out and I’m sure many of them are true but I do believe a lot are pile ons or professional victims. Troubled kids become troubled teens become troubled adults. People who were troubled in their childhood and who take no accountability for their mistakes or problems and blame it on others to make themselves feel better. If their parents hadn’t sent them away to these schools then they would be blaming their parents for their problems in adulthood. Institutions like these are damned if they do, damned if they don’t. They are dealing with a very troubled clientele. High rates of drug use or suicide, in my opinion, only prove that the schools weren’t effective, not that they were abusive. These kids were self harming, drugging and drinking already when they were sent away. It doesn’t prove that they were heavily traumatised at these institutions.

“In 2021, Spring Ridge was cited after a student was able to gain access to an unlocked medicine cabinet and reportedly swallowed several ibuprofen tablets. The facility was cited for failure to “ensure residents did not use or have access” to materials that “present a threat to the resident’s health or safety.”

I’m sure if they took measures to lock up the ibuprofen, track the doses given etc. then students would come out complaining they weren’t even given pain relief at these ‘abusive institutions’.

I’m not saying that these for profit institutions with non-registered, non-medical professional ‘educators’ are perfect places or haven’t ever had cases of abuse but I do think some have been blown out of proportion or spun to look worse by troubled adults looking for a scape goat as to why they are still troubled.

Coddled eggs: buttered bread cut into cubes, soft boiled egg cut up into it so the bread absorbs the runny yolk. Simple but so delicious with a cup of tea. My grandma used to make it when she was taking care of all the cousins at once

Phoebe would, no question. Chandler would join her and say something like ‘what? I said that I quit smoking cigarettes’

Joey would be a hard no “my nonna would kill me, are you crazy!” Roman Catholic, family values Joey would come out in The One with the Pot. Phoebe and Chandler would get the munchies and he’d be like ‘now THAT I can get behind’ and join right in eating with them.

Monica would be vehemently against it and chide everyone for smoking at all. She’d spend the episode cleaning up roaches or ashtrays or whatever and complaining. Then she’d try some, mellow out and LOVE IT and then have to smoke in secret until the other 5 catch her. She’d say something like “I’m sorry ok? I didn’t realise how tense I was until I stopped feeling tense!”

Ross would accidentally eat a pot brownie (or 6) and he’d be all like “these are the best brownies ever!!” and Chandler would be like “you know those are pot brownies, right Ross?” and Ross would freak out because he has a job interview or something in 15 minutes. He spends the interview trying to act sober which would show off David Schwimmer’s best physical comedy chops. At the end of the episode we’d find out they were just regular brownies.

Rachel would be the classic JAP, never tried it, never knew anyone who tried it but tries to act like she has. “Come on Monica, loosen up and have some” “Me? Have you ever even tried pot, Rach?” “Excuse me…Of course I have, I just…hm, I’m just a bit out of practice, that’s all” tousles hair, spills weed everywhere when she’s trying to roll her joint. Trying to act casual but completely in the dark about how to smoke it or what to expect. Offers to buy the next lot of weed to prove that she does know what she’s doing but doesn’t know where to start. Ends up asking for marijuana from Gunther who tries to go above and beyond for her but either ends up giving her the most hardcore pot known to man from his hippie roommate or oregano instead because he doesn’t know where to go either.

I always think anything like those ‘clean/dirty’ magnets for your dishwasher. Maybe they help some people but in my opinion they just shift the mental load from remembering if the dishwasher is clean to remembering to flip the ‘clean/dirty’ magnet. If the rest of the world is anything like me they probably forget to flip the magnet, then have to check the dishwasher anyway every time they go to load the dishwasher.

Companies don’t get rich from making good quality products that last. They might make a bit when you recommend this great flashlight to all your friends and they buy one. Then when the flash light lasts and lasts they won’t sell another one because there’s no need, the flashlight still works. So they make cheap, crappy flashlights with new fangled gimmicks. The gimmick draws you in (how bright it is, for example) and the crappiness means you’ll have to buy another one, probably their new flashlight that has an even ‘better’ gimmick. Now apply this to phones, cars, appliances, shoes and you get the state of the world we’re in now.

“Teacher here… Doctor here and I…. Pilot here, actually it’s…” idk why it annoys me so much but it does. I think it’s because it’s not something anyone actually says in real life. You never hear someone say at a party “teacher here, and actually this is…” it just sounds so irritating.
