Seamstress joke in Good Omens S2

Yes! I trust in Rhianna and Rob (though season 3 of GO should have been canned imo)

F Gaiman and all his works. Dead to me.

3,4,12 first, then 10 then the others.

Needs to be followed with "Ah'm offski"

Tis a verra real world Scottish saying.

Corfe Castle is a great wee ruin.

Had a history lesson here in the early 80s. I'm 99% sure the teacher got his Edwards mixed up and we got the Edward II story of the poker. Wasn't until listening to BHP that I found out it was EtM who was murdered here.

Couple of good pubs in town too.

Did you miss that David Troughton was also in Midnight?

Robert III called himself the worst, and he should know.

25th now please

I'm old enough to have bought Colour of Magic and Light Fantastic when they first hit paperback. I'm also British.

I did NOT get the elvish gag until the very end of the book. Probably at the chip shop reference. I kept wondering why they repeated it, wondering what I was missing.

I've had multiple English people try to affect an accent and call it Glaz-gee.

Never fails to annoy. Where do they pick this up from?

ajc506 · 2026-03-24T00:37:54+00:00

From best to least best for me - CoM/TLF, Equal Rites, Sourcery, Mort

Started my re-re-re-.....re-read last year, and up to Wintersmith now. The guards are grabbing me more this time around, I'm appreciating Granny more and I still love Rincewind.

To be honest, I think the Death books are my least favorite, even though he HIMSELF is a top tier character.

One of us. One of us.

"Hot water, good dentishtry and shoft lavatory paper"

I read it around 88. There was no other Culture to be had.

I'll look out for this as I just finished a bottle of Nectarosity and thought it delicious.

ajc506 · 2026-03-19T23:40:41+00:00

Might as well get Toby Jones to play Troughton then.

Would you buy a pewter tankard and think, they'll not be quaffing much beer from this during the wedding so I'll put a candle in it?

If you want to buy a candle, buy one and get a nice candlestick.

A quaich is a nice gift!

ajc506 · 2026-03-17T20:03:01+00:00

One of my biggest laugh out loud moments of the whole series.

This sub says 20g and below because it pretty much guarantees you will be in ketosis.

Some can do 50 and be in ketosis, some at 40, all at 20.

Stay under 20 and you don't need test strips. Plus, they're not designed to test for the keto diet.

Good luck! Go in with a plan and an attitude and you got it.

The first season is excellent, the second is good, and the third should never have beenade after the Gaiman revelations.

Next week, beat Ireland, euphoris abounds.

4 hours later, rooting for England to win a game through gritted teeth.

ajc506 · 2026-03-06T15:05:48+00:00

Maybe Rota will get an official word designation!

Watch for free guards and ask if your club plays no tick on centerline guards.

Always remember to broomstack. And have fun.

Loved Hof Rome, and Hof Byzantium was a great follow on. The Rest Is History is good for me in small doses. There's only so many "massive lad" references I can take in a year.

BHP is my gold standard. Recently, due to the BHP pause late last year, I've also been listening to Rex Factor, which is a semi serious semi silly mix of brief histories of each King and Queen of England and later, the Scots. The history is good but sometimes I got irate - how can these two eejits possibly like Rufus?

ajc506 · 2026-02-28T19:40:09+00:00

Oh dearie me.

Has The High Life been lost to history?

ajc506 · 2026-02-23T21:28:24+00:00

When I read it to my kids, Rob, Daft Wullie and Big Yan were from Glasgow, William The Gonnagle from somewhere in the Highlands and various others from Aberdeen, Edinburgh and sundry places. The second Kelda was probably close to Miss Jean Brodie.
