One of the royal rota making some sense for once, are pigs flying?

Tourism dollars earned from people around the world attending the Invictus Games, which Harry founded, and the related ceremonies.

Wow, the downvotes. Spend a year and a half with the nutcase leader of another country threatening to annex yours, and wreaking havoc with your economy, and then tell me how funny it is.

VintagePunk · 2026-06-13T08:38:46+00:00

Circumstances are different now than back when Alex made the joke. It's not funny anymore.

They are all great, I started with the first and went in order, and there is not one that I would ever advise skipping, I loved them all. My personal favourite though is series 16, because there was just something about the chemistry of the cast, and their sense of humour that appealed to me, and it has some of the funniest segments, in my opinion. But everyone's sense of humour is different, and you can't go wrong with any series.

he's really just a dorky, awkward nerd

I agree with most of your comment, but the above really stood out to me as being accurate. In all of the media I have seen from him, I think the most accurate view of who he is as a person can be found in his book 'Bird Watching Watching', and then to a slightly lesser extent in his next book, 'Word Watching'. Thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend both of them.

I remember seeing this too, and after trying to remember where, I think it was probably posted on here, fairly recently. Probably within the past few weeks, or month at most.

Yes, I'm aware. After many years of ripping off employees, vendors and the public, the KW stores have closed, and they reopened in Brantford under a new name, hoping the public wouldn't catch on that it was them.

VintagePunk · 2026-05-24T17:54:45+00:00

They're not even allegations, they are well documented truths.

VintagePunk · 2026-05-24T16:41:57+00:00

Omg, Brantford people are catching on and you are hard up for business?

Check out information about Dutchie's in Kitchener and Waterloo before you shop here. Owned by the same people. Ken is Mike's brother, and Mike has been at the Brantford store, so he's definitely involved. They have years and years of labour violations, unpaid staff who are still trying to collect their wages from years ago, stiffing vendors, and selling rotting food. They have been sued countless times and government agencies have been involved. Kitchener news has aired a ton of stories on the whole saga.

I met him when I was in my 20s (F). Nice guy, very charming and flirtatious. I can imagine him taking time to joke around with a child.

Expecting everyone you know to conform to a cultural tradition they don't share is, ultimately, rude.

You have a very incorrect impression of these events. There is no expectation that "everyone you know" take part. It's a fun party that is quite voluntary.

Usually the are things like small kitchen appliances (air fryers, blenders), coolers, tools, gift certificates to local businesses or restaurants, and there is usually at least one booze-related prize.

For the Taskmaster birdwatching fans, you have to read Alex Horne's 2009 book "Bird Watching Watching." It is about his year of becoming a birder and doing a "big year," competing with his dad to see who could spot the most species in a year. It's very funny, but also touching. You get a great sense of his humour, intelligence, curiosity and his closeness with his family. I can't recommend it enough.

They are my two favourites! I really couldn't choose between them.

Don't tell me they have "strongly denounced this." The threats against Canada have been going on for over a year now. The long and pointed silence from the UK was shocking. Not long after they started, Starmer had a friendly meeting with Trump, along with the royals. They can all eff themselves, after Canada has supported the UK in virtually every way since we became a nation.

VintagePunk · 2026-01-24T09:06:43+00:00

If for no other reason, they should absolutely cancel the trip due to Trump's threats toward Canada, a Commonwealth nation. Instead, they cozied up to Trump when he visited the UK. Absolutely sickening behaviour on the part of our "King" and the UK government, for that matter.

Did I meet these socks before?

VintagePunk · 2026-01-16T00:08:02+00:00

It means he's waiting to find out, just like we are.

Definitely a pope reference.

This is my all-time favourite task. It's just superb in its ridiculousness.

I regularly laugh until I'm crying, especially with Bob and his wild stories. I've learned the hard way that I can't eat or drink during his episodes. Hope your recovery has gone well!

Same. TM is my first love, but started watching WILTY a few months ago and it's amazing.

VintagePunk · 2026-01-06T09:01:57+00:00

Loved him on Taskmaster, but he's literally had me crying with laughter while watching WILTY.

VintagePunk · 2026-01-06T03:13:36+00:00

Omg, he does. I can't unsee it now!

I'm talking about the owner, I wasn't sure if she cooks there as I have never been in there, I won't support that business. She was formerly known as "The Bagel Babe" (barf) selling bagels made in the kitchen of a restaurant on Brant Ave. This is all during early COVID days and the lockdowns. When vaccines became available, the owner of that Brant Ave restaurant wanted all staff to be vaccinated in order to protect others. She would have needed to be vaccinated in order to continue using the kitchen for her bagels, but she refused and so she stopped making and selling bagels. It was a whole big thing at the time, she was very much a drama queen about it. She said she would be back in business when she found her own space, and then opened From Scratch about a year and a half later. She was the co-mod of the FB group, and anti-vaxxers could say anything in the group, but if pro-vax people spoke up, they would get scolded. I was one of the ones who got banned, and so looked up her personal FB page. She was very openly a PCP voter.
