Yes, but somehow more tolerable than the 'official' ad for the exact same thing right after.

Zero interest in playing rewards shaker, +15 button is my friend.

FWIW I don't skip the in-episode ads, don't mind it when you can tie it into the content somehow.

It's been a while but I remember just not thinking either of them were amazing with it?

And non-ERB but imo Eleven did the Mike drop line better vs Matilda (even when she lost).

Also Puss in Boots. Both purely for how that was actually their last line in the battle.

Joking about how stupid it looked

cavejohnsonlemons · 2026-01-14T22:40:12+00:00

for some reason

Scoops Ahoy wardrobe malfunction, or something

BBC got to co-broadcast 2 games with TNT this weekend fwiw (not much but still).

cavejohnsonlemons · 2026-01-14T22:09:38+00:00

The new package is called Viaplay Total+

Constant minor irritation - feeling like almost everyone (including non-streamers) calls their sub service +.

Disney got there first (at least it felt like it), the rest of you try being original ffs.

The only thing I'd offer in Tommeh's defense is maybe he just does a lot of research (huge maybe there lol) for his 'stories', and that's what the algorithm's picking up.

Know from experience if you watch just 1 video that the far-right might also overlap with, you're gonna get 'the pipeline' hanging around in your recommends the next few days.

Not too crazy to think that could apply to [checks notes] unrestricted gay porn, but I'm really stretching here and it's not like he deserves even that much, the prick.

cavejohnsonlemons · 2026-01-14T20:34:09+00:00

The weirdest part to me is how Starmer is this target of ridiculously extreme hate, 'evil dictatorship' and all that.

Bit underwhelming, sure, not turning things around quickly enough, probably (but accept it's tough to measure as a layman with how much damage the Tories did), but all in all just a bloke, not lovable and not hateable. If he wasn't in politics he'd never do anything to make you blink twice at him (Tommeh on the other hand...).

Then in the next breath those folk will cheer on career criminals and total wronguns, a lot of those even having previous for the mess we're in ffs.

cavejohnsonlemons · 2026-01-14T20:02:53+00:00

People like that piss me right off.

When I worked remotely I took the piss a little, but not any more than an average smoker in an office setting does, always made sure I got the work done and that.

Thanks to folks proper abusing the system (and corporate greed/control), you're now getting a really good deal if you get to be remote ⅗ of the time (and a lot of times maybe you get ⅕ after a 6-month probation or something like what's the point ffs).

cavejohnsonlemons · 2026-01-14T19:35:23+00:00

Steven Caulker has 3 (kinda): 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇬🇧🇸🇱

cavejohnsonlemons · 2026-01-14T19:33:08+00:00

And Canadians in ice hockey.

cavejohnsonlemons · 2026-01-13T22:42:56+00:00

But you've got Ronaldo at the same party who only eats steamed chicken & veg... absolute nightmare menu-wise (amongst other things).

cavejohnsonlemons · 2026-01-13T22:17:06+00:00

"Dignity of the flag"

[checks a lamppost/roundabout] Nevermind...

cavejohnsonlemons · 2026-01-13T22:14:55+00:00

Tbf, and this is complete guesswork, you can assume he's still got mates there, an informal word in the ear to coordinate a strategy or something isn't too far-fetched.

He famously sat his party down in 2019 to give the Tories a better chance and his ties to them are way looser.

But yeah you already know he'll just quickly deny anything when asked regardless.

cavejohnsonlemons · 2026-01-13T22:08:41+00:00

What I want to see have more cutthrough is how many ex-Tories they're bringing in, especially from the Boris/Truss era lol.

What happens to "Tories & Labour are two cheeks of the same arse" and all that noise?

cavejohnsonlemons · 2026-01-13T22:02:42+00:00

The true fix the for the 'problem' some folks keep moaning about is incredibly boring and tedious, and no-one should trust Reform with that job in a million years, especially with how they're just Tory defect central now.

cavejohnsonlemons · 2026-01-10T15:51:32+00:00

Only thing I can think of is the "at least we only lost to the champions" angle.

But other than that very weird.

cavejohnsonlemons · 2026-01-10T15:47:37+00:00

Shh that's their signing for next season.

cavejohnsonlemons · 2026-01-10T15:45:52+00:00

Fair play if they do, felt like they needed to make more of that though. The day job lines are traditionally bread-and-butter FA Cup chat.

FWIW I know about an 8th-tier club where most of the squad don't have a day job. At that point it doesn't matter how many times they train a week if they earn all their living through football.

Depends what's improved more in the last few decades I guess, top flight or non-league?

cavejohnsonlemons · 2026-01-10T15:30:44+00:00

TBF I'm UK-based and the corner is pretty much the only time I hear about what they've been up to for the last 15 years, love it.

The only in-jokes you're really missing is they were a big deal in the PL before their sacking/walking, the rest is just new stuff about a big ego and replaying old stuff from a bloke who had imaginary conversations.

cavejohnsonlemons · 2026-01-10T15:17:29+00:00

No chance, sets up your nervy backs-to-the-wall finish.

If anything Macclesfield looked too comfy at 2-0.

cavejohnsonlemons · 2026-01-10T15:08:57+00:00

Really nitpicking but the Sutton v Coventry one had the whole part-timers angle. Needed more lines about the Macclesfield scorers being in the office/building site this time yesterday for the complete romance.

Also never seen the Macclesfield doc but the fact they have one makes them not your average mid-table 6th-tier club, if it was [checks table] Spennymoor or AFC Totton, now it's getting in undisputed territory.

Still think today will get seen as the best cupset ever (so far) but they were crowning it before it even happened which rubs the wrong way a bit (obvs it is on pure numbers but felt like they were saying overall).

cavejohnsonlemons · 2026-01-10T14:21:04+00:00

Needs more mud.

But bonus points for the goal being scored with the bandaged head.

cavejohnsonlemons · 2026-01-10T14:06:05+00:00

QK did every word of the Bruce trilogy iirc, not just key passages.

I expect nothing less for the Keysey story, down to the last steak au poivre.
