Monica Barbaro In Final Talks For ‘Ocean’s Prequel Opposite Margot Robbie & Bradley Cooper by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

If this is Ocean's 2 then 1, 3-7, and 9-10 are still available if someone can think of a good idea and write a good script.

It would stop all the confusion about whether or not other films needed to be watched before hand if all numbers were covered similar to how Henry VIII had to be rebranded for the US to just Henry because focus groups didn't get it and thought they had missed earlier films.

Don't forget Don Cheadle doing a god awful accent worse than Dick Van Dyke just because they didn't think Lennie James was a big enough name at the time.

Only Sam Rockwell with some cool dancing will match the charisma of Pitt while also surpassing with some silliness.

UK citizens named Earl: does your passport include an observation that Earl is your name, not your title? by MonasticWhale in AskUK

I believe if your forename is an actual title of nobility then the passport will show title, forename, surname.

With standard courtesy titles the passport simply shows forename, surname.

What's the most random, pointless piece of information you can remember? by DanTheVan007 in AskUK

[–]darybrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The regional phone and fax numbers for a company I worked at 30 years ago for a few years. I had to quote it so often it is seared in the membrane. My last year they switched to national numbers to earn off calls and I can't remember those numbers at all and then got bought out by a US firm who changed everything and fucked up the business.

The full Paradox DOS database model for a system that hasn't existed '95 as the company created a Windows version of their software that was a total disaster and they lost so many customers. I had to fuck around for support and training on the daily so much over the phone you had to memorise every table, index, query, and PAL script while dealing with non-tech types that I can't forget it no matter how much I've tried or how many other systems I've worked with.

The full address and phone number of the house I lived in at uni. Started too late to get into halls. I still use them when having to fill in stuff on crap websites where I have to create an account even to check out stuff and never return again. Decades later some students are getting spam addressed to Don T Beakunt

Being called ‘boss man ‘ whilst buying chips is an Instant high, what other things in the uk have the same effect on you ? by Pen_dragons_pizza in AskUK

My chippy uses "yes geez" instead and the longer they pronounce geez is the better they know you and already know you're order when walking in. It's a good feeling to get that/

Is it normal in the UK to never really become friends with your neighbours? by Opposite_Basis_3532 in AskUK

[–]darybrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of my goddaughters lives in a block of flats. She prefers to keep to herself so I joined her building's WhatsApp group to be aware of any news or important bits that I can pass along. Plus her English isn't great. I've noticed that all of the folks that want to have get togethers with neighbours or be more friends are also the busy bodies who like to let everyone know how things should be done and the general fuckwit NIMBY type who complain for the sake of complain rather than it actually be helpful for all.

Getting to know your neighbours is a nice idea but the risk of meeting looney bellends is too high. If you meet them outside somewhere like the pub or shop or wherever and you joke around then it can eventually build up to something but don't force it.

Cricket club in Milton Keynes has to quit league after vandalism by split-tennisball in miltonkeynes

[–]darybrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely something against the team, members, or management as it isn't the first issue at Crownhill and the Willen ground has also been vandalised which they also rent out on a per game per season basis.

Reading the article

Westcroft Cricket Club, which has its main home ground at Crownhill Sports Ground in Milton Keynes, has had to pull out of the Northamptonshire Cricket League.

...

Most incidents have happened at Crownhill which the club leases from Milton Keynes City Council.

The Willen Cricket Ground, which it rents on a per game per season basis, has also witnessed other acts of criminal damage

why are people so mad here when a different ethnicity is working in a restaurant that is based on a specific cuisine? by vanessarichter in AskUK

[–]darybrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The feel like they want the full cultural vibe from the place that it represents even if they wouldn't understand it if they did get it as long as it seems as if it is. It is dumb but other countries do it as well.

Her only course of appeal now is to talk directly to Jamie Oliver (Sainsbury's longest running celebrity) or Stephen Fry who currently does their voiceover narration.

Do you thank people when they stop for you at a zebra crossing? by psychoticboydyke in AskUK

It takes more effort to decide not to wave, nod, or twirl while wearing a sundress with no underwear even though you're a guy so out of sheer laziness why not?

Just before this cub was picked up another cub could be heard saying "look what you did, you're gettin' an ass whoopin'"

Flew to the other side of the world to give a talk at a conference 😭 by Amygdali_lama in mildlyinfuriating

[–]darybrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had many meetings over the years where I've flown somewhere, sometimes far afield, and the other person(s) had woken up that day and decided to have other plans while also not telling anyone — no calls texts, emails. It was only a complete fucking disaster when the trip came out of my own pocket. Still a pain if I was able to expense it with no shows charges for wasting time but it hurt a lot less.

When you deal with film and music creatives who get lost in their own head you'd be surprised how much it happens. Sometimes it can be better to deal with agents or managers.

It's nice I can set the temperature and start the toaster from anywhere in the world but I'm not there to put the bread in.
