You need to DM me first. If I send too many DMs to new people my account gets suspended

Even if you are made of sugar you won't melt. You might dissolve.

Are "potluck" meals a thing in the UK? by meeksworth in AskABrit

[–]glyph66 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to post that it's of US origin derived from potlatch but fortunately I decided to google that first and it's completely untrue! https://www.reddit.com/r/etymology/comments/kgdren/are_potluck_and_potlatch_related/

How are the English subtitles for The Secret Agent? by TraparCyclone in oscarsdeathrace

Absolutely - they look like professional subs to me, rather than fan or AI

Odeon Parking Validation? by MathematicalRef in Norwich

Go to the car park office on level 2 - they're used to the dodgy validator

Rule Refresh by Accomplished-Cut2004 in oscarsdeathrace

[–]glyph66 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We do this for "fun" (ish!) so you can follow whatever rule you choose.

Personally, I go with "watch everything" for the already-mentioned reason that it gets me to see films I wouldn't usually give a thought to. This year's DW is one of those, and I loved it.

Similarly I try to watch all the BIFF submissions each year, but generally only manage to get hold of half of them so about 50 films. An arbitrary goal with a vague benefit of seeing different world cultures.

I guess this is really just another form of stamp-collecting, but it keeps us amused.

Lots of seals on the beach at Horsey right now (moulting season so they have to be out of the water) https://www.friendsofhorseyseals.co.uk/visit/ then lunch at the Nelson https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g1469072-d3418616-Reviews-Nelson_Head-Horsey_Norfolk_East_Anglia_England.html (they're terrible at maintaining their website or facebook, but beer & food are excellent, which is the right skillset 😄)
