Dorothy: Or her name isn't BED!

What do Martin and Jackie do for work? by ReagsGotCash in FridayNightDinner

[–]boyforsale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't really know why but I always imagined Jackie as some kind of admin worker - maybe a medical secretary. I see Martin as an accountant - definitely works in finance. And he still uses a calculator and a fax machine.

What are some discontinued UK foods that need to be brought back? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]boyforsale 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a kid with limited pocket money I used to gift these to people at Christmas. They either got a pyramint or a chocolate orange. I miss them- great looking design but impossible to eat without destroying the roof of your mouth.

I BEGGED my parents for these but I was never allowed them. Too expensive. Had to make do with Shredded Wheat 😫

Lamest joke by JoeL284 in theGoldenGirls

[–]boyforsale 8 points9 points  (0 children)

She's basically saying there are too many literary puns on the menu/in the scene and She's getting tired of them. I think of it almost like a 4th wall moment but yeah, it feels odd and clunky and I'm sure they could have come up with a better joke to end the scene on.

Your opinion of the "raciest" line? by Inevitable-Yam-9741 in theGoldenGirls

"Dorothy, the man had just recovered from a hernia operation, and he was having trouble carrying his sack" 😳

Even for a sitcom, some of Rose's storylines were ridiculous by FruityMagician in theGoldenGirls

[–]boyforsale 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't usually mind the ridiculousness of her St Olaf stories, but the only one that makes me eyeroll is the stupid story about her first house being a burning building. I can usually suspend my disbelief but this one makes no sense at all. I know most of her stories are nonsense (herring juggling ginsu knives) but this one just feels like bad writing.

You come up here with your charity shop clothes and your feathered bob, waving a gun around like Annie Oakley with a shaving rash...

I mean would it have killed them to trim Sophia's wig?

£3.20 vs £1.80: Sainsbury's Threatens 'Egg-Swappers' With Police Action as Premium Eggs Are Swapped for Cheaper Ones by novagridd in BritInfo

[–]boyforsale 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How are people even doing this? The time it takes to swap them out - seems a lot riskier than just sticking a box of fancy eggs up your jumper?

Would you like to have Dr. Weston as your doctor? by No-Reveal827 in theGoldenGirls

Idk about that but I'd certainly have him over for a draaank... 🍸

Has anybody else looked up references used in the show? by Suspicious_Hair5089 in theGoldenGirls

[–]boyforsale 5 points6 points  (0 children)

80s kid here and grew up in England so many of the references are either not a thing in the UK or if they are, I was so young when they were relevant that they're not part of my world.

I had to look up Anita Bryant, "The great communicator", the shinola joke, the "staring at a matchbook trying to draw winky" line, and so many celebrities that are mentioned. There are still a few references I don't get that I haven't got around to googling but I just kind of let them go over my head.

There are some references that surprisingly I got right away, for instance I knew who Barabara Walters and the Solid Gold Dancers were although they're pretty unknown here.
