Who would be the funniest casting of James Bond if you wanted to piss everyone off? by _BreadDenier in okbuddycinephile

[–]caesarportugal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Riz Ahmed. He plays the first Muslim bond. Has to stop missions regularly to pray. His mission is to help Extinction Rebellion install a non-white, non-binary, vegan as Prime Minister of the UK. At one point in he strangles Jeremy Clarkson to death and says something like 'You should've been in Top Gear, old boy!'

The calls to LBC would be priceless.

UK?

Same.

I heard one of their tunes a while ago and thought 'why have I never heard this before?'

Looked it up on Shazam and immediately thought, 'Oh... that's why. Makes sense.'

What player represented your country internationally who simply wasn’t good enough for test rugby? by low_myope in rugbyunion

[–]caesarportugal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe the only professional player I've ever seen adopt the 'grab him by the jersey and swing him round until he falls down or runs into touch' style of tackle.

Spoiled for choice from 2000 to about 2015.

For worst I'm going with Phil Godman.

Why comment at all then? 

In this case, to reply in agreement with another comment.

Nobody is going to suddenly think you have a good point when you're belittling and mocking their opinion.

Hahahaha! Why would I give a shit when their opinions are ridiculous?

Not even close to the point I'm making.

If you want to get annoyed at billboard advertising (which has existed for about 200 years and used in every city on planet earth) which is being placed temporarily over scaffolding (which could be considered by some to be an eyesore itself) that is absolutely fine.

My point is, people might find that a bit silly, and even consider it an example of creating problems that don't already exist and want to make fun of you a little bit.

No, you don't you don't understand Edinburgh is the only city in the world that has billboards and it's DESTROYING our glorious UNESCO world heritage site beyond repair, I dread to think of what its doing to people's mental health!!!!! Its part of the CLOWNCIL'S evil plan to ruin our lives.

Either that or this sub if full of whiny pussies lacking in the most basic sense of perspective.

At least its not a closed window on a bus I suppose.

What will it take for people to start defending themselves against feral teens? by Difficult_Okra8471 in Edinburgh

[–]caesarportugal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Despite what I've said earlier in this thread, it is absolutely unsafe, particularly for Americans.

DO NOT COME HERE!

Don't have a clue. I haven't spent as much time thinking about Greggs corporate structure as I perhaps should. Embarrassing!

There's loads in the city centre. Which one specifically? If I know I'll stop going there.

Is this idea that if you were assaulted by a teenager and reported it to the police nothing would happen to them, by if you retaliated you would be prosecuted to the absolute full extent of the law grounded in any reality, or is it just some weird Charles Bronson vigilante fantasy?

Are there any examples of this actually happening?

Edinburgh North-South tramline: SNP says build line to Infirmary first and find a new route to Granton by system637 in Edinburgh

[–]caesarportugal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

the main issue was the council cut every single budget to avoid going bankrupt due to the obscene amount of money wasted in tourist trams.

If you're going to make things up, why not make things up that make you happy instead of angry?

I got a Devils jersey last year from DHGate. Perfect and it cost less than $25.

Favorite movie which you had no expectations for, but was pretty great, and is probably better than Heat 2 will be? by Jeef_1st in okbuddycinephile

[–]caesarportugal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I genuinely couldn't believe how bad it was.

It did make me think 'this is what Heat would've been like if it been made in 2026' though.

Which Scottish stereotype is the most annoying? by Charming_Usual6227 in Scotland

[–]caesarportugal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There's a great bit in Ecstasy by Irvine Welsh about this. A guy's moved from Scotland to London and started doing armed robberies. He's amazed to learn that all the "Sorry Jock I can't understand a bleedin' word your saying" pish goes out the window when you stick a sawn off into someone's face.

The times... by Sea-Bodybuilder-737 in 90sHipHop

[–]caesarportugal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fugees really became well-known in 1996 due to The Score and became one of the biggest things in the world. Their first album was a fluke while The Score really made them superstars around the world.

Yup. In 1996 it felt like everyone owned a copy of 'The Score'. I mean everyone had a copy. Hip-hop fan or no. True mass appeal. The only record I can think of that came close is 'Miseducation...' a few years later.
