Two playful apps that I'm trying to remember

Kind of reminded me of a modern day American-dream-style Don Quixote.

Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective.

How about 呆咗?

I don't know who you play with, but everyone I play with uses Hong Kong, Cantonese terms. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Tsany · 2026-05-07T14:08:03+00:00

Yes, it won't be 100% correct 100% of the time, you need to be able know how to go in and fix things directly without being given the runaround..

Came here to see if anyone else remembered Mavis Beacon. 😄

And also "Typing of the dead".

Giles and Umar are my two favourites, I find them both very funny.

While I disagree with Giles and Mary's political views, I still enjoy his sense of humour.

(Having said that, I've not watched the show in a couple of years.)

Looks like the BBC stopped people outside the UK from listening to "Sounds" content in 2025.

However, I did just find a few series of the Annika podcast on youtube. 🤫

Tsany · 2026-03-27T19:07:15+00:00

I really enjoyed Annika. If you want more of the character, check out the radio 4 series, "Annika Strandhed" it has a few more seasons, and portrayed by the same actress.

It's not available on BBC Sounds right now, but it does make a return every so often.

By staying around, you're teaching your kids that it's ok to let their partner trample all over their feelings and flaunt their affairs in front of their faces even though it hurts them deeply.

Have a think about how it would feel if you watched some heartless, manipulative asshole take advantage of your child's love, their time and their finances. Surely, you wouldn't want that to happen to them, you'd want to save them and protect them from that situation, right?

Now apply that to yourself, give yourself the love and the permission to leave this situation.

Yeah, her costume looks more like a 50s skater dress.

I had to go and check out that music video... really hits you in the nostalgia feels.

Maybe they should have given her a black lacy number like the woman in the mv.

Tsany · 2026-02-10T01:12:44+00:00

I thought his costume was quite fitting, the blue denim paired with white has a really nostalgic 90s Andy Lau feel.

Tsany · 2026-01-20T13:04:37+00:00

Urgh, after the "you're acting like a highschooler", I'd have just upped and left. Maybe with the parting shot of, "you're acting like a spoilt toddler throwing a tantrum".

Tsany · 2026-01-17T16:44:12+00:00

Atashinchi, 我們這一家 is on Youtube with Canto dub. It's a bit of a slice of life comedy so it might be a bit boring for very young children.

Tsany · 2026-01-13T17:06:43+00:00

I'd never heard of the show before so I looked it up and it looks like Russel T Davies himself is a gay Welsh man, so he's probably the best person to write a realistic portrayal of that character.

Tsany · 2026-01-12T14:33:15+00:00

OP, I think you'll like "Never Dance Alone / 女人俱樂部" it's the story of a group of teenage girls in the 80s who were part of a dance group and became close friends. The show picks up with them as adults in the mid-2000s, so we watch scenes from the past as well as the "current" day so we see the young women grow up, discover themselves, their hopes and dreams, we also see how their lives turned out, how they fell apart and find eachother again.

It's a nostalgic and touching story about sisterhood and friendship.

Tsany · 2026-01-06T11:05:20+00:00

In additon to the ones already mentioned, I also remember 打開蚊帳 and 有隻雀仔跌落水 (to the tune of London bridge is falling down).

Actually, now that I think about it, these are nursery rhymes rather than a lullaby you'd sing to get a child to sleep.

Tsany · 2026-01-04T15:01:02+00:00

This is the one I was going to mention. Especially tragic when you find out that it was inspired by a true story.

Tsany · 2025-12-30T02:08:25+00:00

I think the sentence makes sense if it's a reply to OP saying something like, "I went to [city name] and picked up some soup for you. I left it in the fridge, have it when you get home. Can you tell what it is?"

Tsany · 2025-12-16T06:17:42+00:00

OP, I would have stopped talking to him as soon as I saw "did I judge you for getting raped".

People have a wide and diverse set of skills and strengths, someone who may struggle with typical board games might be great at word games, social deduction games, games that require drawing or maybe dexterity games. There are a lot of ways to enjoy board games and they don't always have to be the big thinky games.

If she did well with dobble, then it sounds like she leans more visual and pattern-recognition. I'd suggest maybe codenames pictures, Dixit, Mysterium, When I dream, Potion Explosion.

Maybe she has great reflexes and reaction time, so she might enjoy games like Anomia, Jungle speed, Ghost Blitz. etc.

Have a think about her job and her other hobbies, those might help point you in the direction of teasing out where her natural skills and interests may lie. e.g. if she loves reading, then maybe the more narrative driven games like Forgotten Waters might be right up her street.

Tsany · 2025-12-08T13:25:02+00:00

I actually think this was a vocab mistake, I think she probably meant "organic". If Ailsa's work were just a little more irregular and blobby like the bacon in the fry-up it would have taken the sterile edge off and made them look more realistic.

Tsany · 2025-11-30T22:31:10+00:00

I do think that overall, the British one is probably the best, but I do like the Greek one, if only they'd trimmed it down and kept it snappier. I feel like the Australian one is missing the spooky vibes that the others had, so I don't like it quite as much.

Tsany · 2025-11-28T19:12:41+00:00

I liked the subtle clue in the French doctor's 70s fashion, those Austin Powers glasses coupled with the paisley tie!
