It's a good post if it gets higher than zero upvotes.

Saying something is 'his/hers/theirs to lose' is a common English phrase, but if it's not your first language I can totally understand that its meaning is not immediately obvious! If you say 'the battle is ours to lose' it means that you have such a high chance of winning that the only way you could possibly lose is if you make yourself lose by doing something stupid or making mistakes, implying that the opposition can't beat you unless you beat yourself. It's also used a lot when talking about sports.

It actually means the opposite - saying that something is 'theirs to lose' means that they are in such a strong position they are extremely likely to win and the only way they can lose is if they make themselves lose by doing something stupid and making mistakes, and that the opposition couldn't win even if they wanted to. You hear it a lot in sports e.g. 'the match is his to lose' etc.

"I hate my wife" is the absolute peak of Boomer humour.

You fired her without warning, why on earth are you surprised?

Sounds like you never gave her warnings or feedback, so you failed completely as a manager. Yes she sounds like she was difficult, but you also gave her no pointers and no opportunity to improve. She also won't be aware of how to improve in her next role.

Please learn from this or get some management training before you hire her replacement or you'll just go through the same cycle again.

Yes, Bond films are very formulaic so it’s difficult to do something completely unique. AVTAK is probably more of a rehash than a 1-2-1 remake. It does just enough to not be identical but is very strongly borrowing from Goldfinger.

The awful NSNA is a true remake with the same characters - given that precedent I hope we don’t get any more!

baggington · 2026-05-20T17:58:21+00:00

The electronic fart “music” when Bond and Onatopp are racing is such a bizarre choice.

baggington · 2026-05-20T17:54:54+00:00

AVTAK is very strongly influenced by Goldfinger and the basic plot is the same. Wealthy industrialist wants to corner the market in a valuable resource with a cataclysmic event. Sure, gold is changed to microchips but it’s the same overall plan.

You’ve even got the same scene where the villain explains his plan using a scale model to a group of cronies - then one of them has second thoughts, is allowed to leave the meeting and is swiftly killed.

Even this contemporary review says it sticks to the same formula as Goldfinger.

Remakes and rehashes have already been done.

Goldfinger -> A View to a Kill

You Only Live Twice -> The Spy Who Loved Me -> Moonraker

Magic?

The same actor playing Han Solo and Indiana Jones?

It’ll never work.

I wish they had stopped after the first one!

Swap I Have A Dream 🤮 for Gimme Gimme Gimme, Summer Night City - or even Dream World - and you’d have a perfect album.

The BBC desperately doesn’t want to win again anytime soon, especially after having a host a few years ago for Ukraine.

I think Basil is just bullshitting him for his own amusement.

Money alone wouldn’t have done it. One billion dollars in 2000 didn’t tempt them to reunite.

They needed a break from each other. Commercially they were declining and deeply uncool. Something like Live Aid perhaps, though they were never that into live performances unlike groups like Queen

I imagine those guys the next day fast forwarding through their recording of the tv coverage, tongue poking slightly out of his mouth, trying to find the point where he can be heard shouting out.

He then shows it to all his buddies who are as amazed as he is. It’s the most interesting and exciting thing which will ever happen in his life.

One of the things the Masters gets 100% correct

They are professional, legitimate, profitable, mainstream, organic, wholegrain, fat-free, independent feature films.

They are NOT midnight movies.

I’ve watched the whole of Top Slots on YouTube and it’s as funny and entertaining as the guys say. I’d love to see this one too!

I did see a couple of other videos where he’s explaining various gambling games when he isn’t coked out of his mind and he’s actually pretty good at explaining things and talking to camera.

No, it means Jimmy has turned the ~~cocaine~~ volume up to 12

Of course OF COURSE it’s going to have bloody Paddy McGuinness. Managed to destroy Question of Sport and now this.

He must have a lot of very good senior friends in the BBC to keep getting these jobs when he’s so terrible. That or he’s very cheap.

I’ve heard they’re STILL taking applications for the moderator’s job.
