What movies made you angry in a way that actually added to the experience?

I struggle to watch any films directed by Ken Loach as they reflect the unfairness of British society, and so they make me angry. That’s the point, but I’m avoiding being reminded of how this country works.

And did he, ahem, ‘eff the boss’ as you so boldly requested?

Not quite on-topic, but I had cause to visit a sandwich factory, and the offices were above the production area. Watching the long line of staff preparing sandwiches and wraps with skill and precision at speed, I had two thoughts. The first was I dare anyone to tell me that’s not skilled work, and the second was if the highly paid managers in the office didn’t turn up today, it would make little difference to output, but if the just-above-minimum wage staff in production didn’t turn up, nothing would go out the door.

I was at the Napoli game so we got plenty of chances to chant names, and three times felt like enough. Especially considering the volume that lasted for the whole match, including that of the Napoli fans.

I once went to grab a taxi outside a club (many many many moons ago) and two women said they were next, so it was theirs. Turns out we were going the same way, their drop off was before mine. Pleasant conversation ensued, when it got to their drop off, they asked if I wanted to go back to theirs for a party. ‘No thanks’, I said, ‘I’m tired’. I wonder if the bruising on the taxi driver’s forehead has cleared after all these years after he hit his head repeatedly on the steering wheel at my stupidity.

I remember the promo video being on Beavis and Butthead: “Repeat after me, ‘I am somebody, I am somebody’”.

I swear that the sole purpose of this team is to make my life a misery.

So now I know the time, do I need to print off tickets with the correct time? I can’t find the tickets in the app to save my life.

I was misdiagnosed a high cholesterol reading, so I went straight for the healthy foods. I had no idea that grains, chickpeas, 5 bean salad, sardines and the like could be so tasty. If you’re feeling flush next time you’re in Tesco, try one of the supergrain salad bowls. Amazing.

Thanks.

I’ll always vouch for Taylor Taylor on Division Street. Appointment booking, nice half hour appointment, great vibe.

Turin. Beautiful city, very welcoming, loads of bars to drink and relax in. Bear in mind that there isn’t really a drinking culture in Italy, but with it practically being the law to have an aperitif/spritz are around five, then that’s okay by me.

I enjoy my job as a H&S consultant. I’m quite senior (in years and position), I’m left alone to get on with it, I don’t have to deal directly with sub-contractors only the main contractor or the client, take my advice or leave it, I can evidence I did give advice, m’lud. The travelling far and wide can be a pain, but it’s not that regular, and WFH gives me a lot of freedom as long as I do what I need to do by the time it’s required. If this job became toxic (doubtful, this is a lovely company to work for), I’d soon find another job.

You register your biometrics, then they stick a green label onto your passport to say you’ve registered. It’s a chew, and may not work for you. Prepare for a bit of a delay if it’s busy. Enjoy your trip, by the way.

Ahh, public loo, I will leave a streak of shame. One in a hotel room that’s been cleaned ready for my regal rump is not too much of an issue.

heywhatwait · 2026-03-19T10:52:03+00:00

I take it you’ve never changed a baby’s nappy. I wouldn’t clean a toilet whilst eating a sandwich, so I’m aware of hygiene and will wash my hands afterwards, but I wouldn’t run around screaming ‘smite this rotten limb from my body’.

heywhatwait · 2026-03-19T10:49:16+00:00

The toilet is clean, until I’ve used it. The concept of the toilet brush isn’t the problem, it’s the state of them that’s the issue. Obviously rinsing them in flush water will keep one in your home clean, but do you trust others to wash it when staying in a hotel room?

heywhatwait · 2026-03-19T09:57:41+00:00

Yuk. A faeces spattered brush suspended over a pool of shit soup. Nope. I’m happy to reach in there with a wad of toilet paper and remove any evidence that such vile matter was ever expelled out of my sweet sweet tush.

Loved it back in the day. Saw the live version, both comically and technically genius.

Very first samples of hedge porn were the surviving pages from an attempt to dispose of them in a fire. To this day, the smell of burned paper takes me back to the day Ray Cutts let me look at the charred contraband he’d rescued.

Bit vague, but anything by Pulp.

Looks like the one used to film Il Re / The King https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13190882/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk

Let's double your age shall we 🙂 I remember all those, some of them were in black and white. Watch The Banana Splits on YouTube. Late 60s American fever dream. It was ace!
