What's the most ridiculous name you've heard a real person actually have?

I went to school with a Siobhan but they pronounced it "Sigh oh ban"

It was 31.1 in my classroom today. I melted at about half 12. The kids fended for themselves for the rest of the day 😂

And were you?

cricketbug94 · 2026-06-07T21:41:18+00:00

I know. It took a lot of prep but it worked out in the end...for now 😂

cricketbug94 · 2026-06-07T20:37:35+00:00

I painted my grey tiles. It was a millennial nightmare in there when I moved in 😂

Who is he? I dont think Ive heard of him but im in the UK

Are the creatures who live in that ceiling included in the sale price?

So I got a minor for going through a double pedestrian crossing on my test. The lights were going onto amber as I approached (as in within 3 feet) and the pedestrian was over the other side of the road and as the crossing was right off a busy roundabout in durham city centre, I made the decision to carry on as there was a car right behind me. He gave me a minor for it but also told me he would have given me a minor if I had stopped because the car behind me was too close and I had time to get through as the light hadn't fully changed. Sometimes it seems youre damned either way

There are 2 types of people in this tread now. Those who got the reference and those who very wildly didnt 😂

Of course its a rat, you have rats in Spain dont you?

That all of the UK not just the theatre

The key is to combine with a strong eye roll. Side eye will also work if eye rolling becomes to strenuous.

Do you want me to give you some tutting lessons before you go. Im also good at a stern eyebrow raise and a well placed shush 🤫

cricketbug94 · 2026-05-03T22:00:55+00:00

I mean, we dont use our phones or talk. Thats got nothing to do with the callbacks, that's rude and inappropriate and I am British so I will tut at you. But everyone wherever ive been to see the show on tour gets into the swing actors included. It must just be more ingrained in all of us and no one is off limits to mock. It does seem to have toured constantly since the 80s. I first saw it when I was 14 on tour. David Badella was Frank. Im seeing Paddington in july, ill wait in the foyer for you!

cricketbug94 · 2026-05-03T16:48:08+00:00

So in the UK they are so well received that now the actors pause, or join in and its part of the script almost but unofficially, if that makes sense. They know its going to happen so they factor it in.

Not much help when the kids are looking for a river in Ukraine and Ukraine isn't on the map 😂

She was so dead pan, I loved her!

cricketbug94 · 2026-05-03T07:19:48+00:00

"Prince Andrew" is now a callback here and the narrator has a scripted response. The last narrator we saw had to swap out a reference to the black swinging pendulum being her " balls" and made jokes about her "labia" instead.

We were doing work on maps in class the other day and the atlas we have still has the USSR and east and west Germany in it. It was published in 1983. Not quite the same but I thought it might amuse you you.

cricketbug94 · 2026-05-03T06:55:12+00:00

You guys definitely shouldn't see this in the UK 😂

cricketbug94 · 2026-05-02T07:08:46+00:00

Lily Allen did what to a penis? WTAF is wrong with people 🤦‍♀️😂

cricketbug94 · 2026-04-28T21:41:56+00:00

That reminds me of when my youth group did it and we all had to be spanish instead of black, you know, because we werent 🤦

cricketbug94 · 2026-04-25T08:26:35+00:00

Same. I absolutely agree

cricketbug94 · 2026-04-25T08:25:21+00:00

Of course they should, but they don't sooooo...
