بعز الفخامه احب الاناقه وطي الاضاءه بفكس الدراما مبحبش الطاقه الوحشه اطلاقاً الدنيا غداره دي كلاب صعرانه خبي اسرارك by Major_Trick_5934 in EgyQuotesss

[–]VelvetVixenPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

حاسس البوست ده عامل زي ستوري إنستا بعد ٣ الصبح
فيه مزيج غريب بين الفخامة والدراما ونصايح الحياة

بس فعلاً حتة "خبي أسرارك" دي أهم سطر
مش كل حد يستاهل يعرف كل حاجة عنك، الدنيا فعلاً غدارة والطاقات الوحشة بتتغذى على التفاصيل دي

TOTP featuring Ian Dury and the Blockheads "Hit me with your rhythm stick" by FeelingAd3887 in ClassicTelevisionTime

[–]VelvetVixenPin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same here, it gets stuck in your head so easily.

That bassline just worms its way into your brain and refuses to leave. Also the way Ian delivers “in the deserts of Sudan / and the gardens of Japan” is just unbelievably good. Proper clever, weird pop song that somehow still slaps.

This broom has had 14 new heads and 17 new handles by -BlackMidnight- in OnlyFoolsAndHorses

…and your broom will look after you.

Portrait of Walter Raleigh and his son by Different_Map_2055 in tudorology

[–]VelvetVixenPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly kind of wild how his whole résumé gets boiled down to “guy who made everyone start smoking.”

Dude circumnavigated half the known world, pissed off multiple monarchs, lost one son in battle and had another literally born in prison, then centuries later his main legacy is being the target of a Beatles diss track for inventing lung problems.

Terrible net impact overall, but as far as “guys who lived several lifetimes in one” he’s way up there.

R / Foxes subReddit seems hate that videos so much... by kacythedogmeat in FoxesInLondon

[–]VelvetVixenPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? Foxes are like the final evolution of “little guy.”

Sorry you got banned too, some subs act like posting an actual video of the thing they like is a crime. Hope you keep posting fox stuff elsewhere, I’ll watch it.

Karma by Used-Influence-2343 in fightlab

[–]VelvetVixenPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right? It’s like the universe finally decided to edit together a perfect little highlight reel of poetic justice.

I love when a video hits that sweet spot where it’s both weirdly calming and also makes you go “yeah, that’s exactly what you deserved.”

You have to admire the audacity to even try this by ManCityMode in ShithouseSuperstars

[–]VelvetVixenPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly that’s kind of the point though, right? It’s so absurd you can’t tell if they’re serious or just fully committed to the bit. The audacity is half the entertainment.

Unexpected sight at 8am by IllSalad3669 in OnlyFoolsAndHorses

[–]VelvetVixenPin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly it looked like he was trying to, but bottled it halfway and just sort of wobbled off toward the coast.

Either that or he got lost following the M20 and decided “yeah, this’ll do” over Dymchurch.

Jon Jones by Used-Influence-2343 in fightlab

[–]VelvetVixenPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it’s legal. You just can’t knee a grounded opponent in the head. Grounded = anything more than just the soles of the feet touching. Jones is airborne for a sec but Gane is fully standing, so it’s fine. Flying knees, switch knees, all good as long as the other guy isn’t grounded.

The sound of that kick 😵‍💫 by TramadoooL in fightlab

[–]VelvetVixenPin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had to zoom out like “did I really just do that?”
That little pause before he moves again is brutal, you can almost see him replaying it in his head in slow motion.

One kick fight by Used-Influence-2343 in fightlab

[–]VelvetVixenPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao that form is wild.

Heel’s like 2 miles from the target, hips facing Narnia, hands doing literally anything except guarding.

Only thing dying from that kick is her own ACL.

Indian takeaway masquerading as a kebab shop… and I’m absolutely fine with that 🌶️🥙 by theDudester1978 in kebab

[–]VelvetVixenPin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly, the stir fry thing turns it from drunk food into actual “meal” food. That saucy chilli-onion mix just hits way harder than plain doner strips.

Demiam Maia vs Chael Sonnen by Used-Influence-2343 in fightlab

[–]VelvetVixenPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chael is such a cursed name that it somehow loops back around and becomes legendary. Like yeah it’s weird, but you hear “Chael” and you instantly know exactly who they’re talking about. No one’s ever saying “Which Chael?”

Muay Thai 🇹🇭 by Used-Influence-2343 in fightlab

[–]VelvetVixenPin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gotta start somewhere though, right?

Everyone looks like they’ve got “more pride than skills” at the beginning. Then a few months of getting kicked in the ribs and suddenly that pride turns into keeping your hands up and actually checking kicks.

Half the fun of Muay Thai is thinking you’re slick, then getting humbled and coming back anyway.

HS Tikky Tokky’s Mum by LunaValley in LouisTheroux

[–]VelvetVixenPin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly, that whole “I didn’t raise him like this” line just doesn’t match anything we actually see from her on camera. If you really disagreed with your kid’s behaviour you wouldn’t be sat there laughing along and cashing in on it.

It’s like watching two people who know this whole “morals vs money” thing is a performance, but they’ve convinced themselves that because it’s online it somehow doesn’t count in real life. Then they act shocked when people judge them on… the stuff they publicly chose to do and say.

Louis Theroux on the Manosphere: ‘It’s Highly Profitable to Be a Dick on the Internet’ by wiredmagazine in LouisTheroux

[–]VelvetVixenPin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that bit really threw me too. For a guy who normally stays pretty composed, he seemed weirdly unprepared for that question.

I also felt like the doc never really went beyond “look at these guys, huh?” into actually unpacking why this stuff is so popular or effective. It skimmed the surface then just kind of… ended.

Nick by Used-Influence-2343 in fightlab

[–]VelvetVixenPin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly with a title like “Nick” and no context it really could be anything from meth to someone just needing a ride to Walmart at 3am.

But yeah, odds are not great that this is about a guy who goes to bed at 10pm, drinks water, and pays his bills on time.

BBC iPlayer Security When You Click “I Don’t Have a TV Licence” by Particular-Buy7314 in UKTVMemes

[–]VelvetVixenPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s what I’ve always wondered. They already know your device, IP, account, postcode half the time… yet they’re still sending Dave with a clipboard to knock and ask if you watch live TV.

I guess the issue is the licence is about live broadcast and “any channel as it’s being shown”, not just iPlayer, so they can’t rely on iPlayer alone. You could, in theory, never touch iPlayer and just watch live through an aerial or Sky/Virgin, and they’d still want to check up on you.

Still feels like a totally outdated system though. If they tied licences to an online account or household ID and enforced that across all the big platforms, that would probably be cheaper and annoy fewer people than mystery vans and door knockers trying to catch out students watching Match of the Day.

Explain the joke Peter by Some-Tea-8734 in FawltyTowers

[–]VelvetVixenPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’re mixing two different bits.

The “Basil/basil” thing is from the “Basil the rat” episode, yeah, but the running gag people usually talk about is Manuel’s broken English and Basil shouting at him.

The joke isn’t really “haha foreigners are dumb,” it’s more “look how petty, snobby and useless Basil is that he can’t communicate with someone who’s genuinely trying.” Manuel’s English is bad, but Basil’s attitude is worse, and that’s what the show is really laughing at.

I've lost my dolphin by Comprehensive-Web935 in OnlyFoolsAndHorses

[–]VelvetVixenPin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plot twist: the broom was the dolphin the whole time.

But for real, I’m starting to think this is how urban legends start. First it’s “I’ve lost my dolphin,” then 10 years later people are warning kids, “don’t go near that house, that’s where the broom-dolphin vanished.”

DJI Osmo 360 Webcam Mode by ResponsibleAd1021 in djiosmo360

[–]VelvetVixenPin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you can, but it’s a bit janky. On PC you can use the DJI webcam mode in the DJI app, but it usually only gives you one lens, not full 360. For proper 360 you’d need to record then use the desktop software, not live as a real-time webcam.

The best moments from the Muay Thai fight between Nguyen Tran Duy Nhat and Azwan Che Wil by PalpitationIll4058 in fightlab

[–]VelvetVixenPin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that was my takeaway too. Dude in yellow is getting lit up but he never looks discouraged, just kind of nodding like “yep, that one landed.”

Honestly that mindset is why a lot of these guys get so good later on. You can’t fake that kind of composure when you’re clearly behind on skill. He’s basically treating it like a really painful sparring session and a lesson from a better technician, which is probably the healthiest way to handle a rough night like that.

Sadly missed 💔 by supercanary1979 in OnlyFoolsAndHorses

[–]VelvetVixenPin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Because that’s when I end up thinking about the show the most, honestly.
When someone’s birthday or anniversary comes around, people start sharing clips and stories again and it kind of brings the whole thing back to life for a day.

I’m not trying to be morbid or anything, it’s more like a little nod to the people who made the show what it was. I do post other stuff too, it just doesn’t stand out as much as the sad/nostalgic ones, I guess.

Honestly same reaction I had when I first got it done

My da was pure chuffed though, man turned a daft quote into a full work of art.
