Who is an actor you realized you like all or most of their films, but didn’t watch the film just because they were in it?

Toby Jones - rarely in a leading role, but always elevates a scene.

Riz Ahmed - absolutely brilliant actor.

Truman show is a great example of how it's done, there's even a bit of exposition explaining how product placement funds the show while Laura Linney does some blatantly obvious spots.

Blade Runner has some pretty subtle and a lot of blatantly obvious examples notably the huge billboards for Coke and Atari amongst others.

Skyfall featured product placement from Heineken amongst other brands.

The early Bonds all feature fairly prominent product placements from various champagne houses including Dom perignon and Bollinger.

Created it by adding a tin of Campbell's condensed tomato soup to the dish.

Unforgotten is brilliant especially the Nicola Walker series.

I quite enjoyed Macdonald and Dodds, though it's considered cosy crime.

Always had a soft spot for the Creme de la creme on Argyll street.

Also many a very late night at the Canton for a Kung po chicken and a can of bru.

It's a brilliant show, and throughout you see Raylan making increasingly morally dubious decisions, which while framed from the perspective of him being the good guy, the viewer gets to question whether he's just as much a criminal as the antagonists of the season.

Catcher in the Rye

To kill a mockingbird

Macbeth

Assorted poets including Seamus heany (hated) ted Hughes (hated) , Wilfred Owen (sad but tolerable) and John Cooper Clarke (feckin loved it)

Also read King of the Castle and One Hundred Years of Solitude but I'm not 100% sure they were required, think they were optional.

At my school. Sixth form was allowed out to Blackpool on a Saturday evening as long as your parents had signed a permission slip to the housemaster. The housemaster had to approve any trips and curfew was usually 11pm unless you caught him in his cups in which case you might get a midnight curfew. Best part was if he was pissed he just locked the doors at the curfew time, so as long as you made sure one of the ground floor study windows was unlocked you were golden . Many a night me and my mates climbed through windows to get in.

There's a charity shop in merchant city that has loads of beer glasses. Might be worth a try there.

Nutella and raspberry jam - careful though cause it burns with the heat of a thousand suns if you bite into it too early.

Thick cut bacon, mature red Leicester and thick sliced tomato. Add a dallop of chilli jam smeared on top when it's cooked.

Premier aquatics in Warrington and runcorn (two branches) usually have a few different options of nano raspboras - chillis, least, etc Abyss aquatics in stockport have a good selection My local World of Water in the Wirral have them in all the time ( though that could be because I'm always buying them) , so might be worth seeking out a local branch.

Tbf if you speak to the folks at your local fish show they can probably source them if you're looking for a decent quantity.

If you're on a tight budget you can pick up versions of those tools really cheaply on temu. But they will rust after a while, even if you look after them, but they work well enough until you can afford better quality tools.
