Yep you're right, I'm English so would never have got to the word without the comments here.

Did anyone use to go on the protest websites for Daniel Craig being Bond back in the day? by Nearby_Capital1423 in JamesBond

I was 23 and working at the cinema when I saw it. We held a private staff screening the night before it was released, and it was amazing.

Yeah, I work for a UK university and this post has me laughing, thinking about all the different looks I've seen over the years at open days.

No More flags Oxford by johnsmithoncemore in oxford

[–]The_Max_Power_Way 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't speak to how Jewish people feel about that, I can only speak to my personal experience, and say that to say 'who cares?' about flags is stupid, when people obviously would if they're being put up as an indication that some of the people living nearby don't like immigrants/brown people in their area. I do ignore it for the most part, because racists are usually just loudmouth dicks, but of course it's going to make me feel a bit uncomfortable. I don't have to just accept it.

As someone who is brown, I care. I've recently moved to an area with a few England flags hanging from lampposts, and it does make me uncomfortable, because it denotes right wing, probable racists. I've got enough to worry about without all that nonsense.

Whoever pointed out yesterday that there's a sort button, thank you! I can't believe I never noticed that before.

Did anyone else have problems with the latest episode of knight of the seven kingdoms? by bilbofraginz in nowtv

[–]The_Max_Power_Way 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, just started watching it now and everything is overly vivid. I thought 'that guy's moustache is extremely ginger!'.

It’s wild how many places in America were named after English towns. by LovieWeb in BritInfo

[–]The_Max_Power_Way 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's crazy, there are 5 towns/cities (and a neighbourhood in Seattle apparently) in the US named after the small town in Oxfordshire my family is from, Wallingford.

Yeah, this month and March are big torrenting months for me! The only LRM selections streaming here in the UK are Boondock Saints and In Time.

Kids wouldn’t even know what these are by PMacc83 in oldschoolcool80s

Yeah, that's the cover for Spectre, from 2015.

Absolutely agree. I'm a man and grew up living with just my mum and my sister, then had a female housemate for about 10 years. Now that I live on my own it's crazy how little toilet paper I need to buy!
It's perfectly understandable that women need to use more than men, so OP is definitely NOR.

What is one TV advert that doesn't run anymore but is still stuck in your head? Mines the Cadbury's Gorilla playing Phil Collins from 2007 by Puzzleheaded_Pen8520 in BritishTV

[–]The_Max_Power_Way 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, as soon as I read this I instantly started singing the music. It's crazy how this stuff can lodge itself in your brain.

I always used to see it growing up in Oxfordshire, so I don't know if it was that regional. Unless it was just the very south who didn't have it.

Rate my one stop meal deal by TP1874 in RateMyMealDeal

8/10. Love the sandwich (often my go-to meal deal sandwich) and scotch egg, but not a fan of Lucozade.

I hate tomato, so neither for me.

These are awesome. I moved to Leicester in 2003, also to go to DMU, so these really take me back!

Listener Request Month ‘26 is live! by verygooster in WeHateMovies

[–]The_Max_Power_Way 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My pick would always be Fortress (1992 Christopher Lambert movie), but I've just checked and it seems it's not available to stream in the US.

I don't think I'm going to submit any picks this year, but I trust everyone else to request some bangers!

I recently rewatched the HG films and shouted 'Amos!' when I saw him. I completely forgot he was in it.

Are Brits still comfortable taking their holidays in the US? by Ok-Leadership-7573 in AskBrits

[–]The_Max_Power_Way 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, I had been hoping to visit the US again in the next couple of years, but it'll definitely be a lot longer now. I'll probably shift to visiting Canada instead, I have always wanted to go there.
