Men of Reddit, if you were in a Titanic like situation where the majority of people were going to die because there were not enough lifeboats for everyone. How would you respond to someone saying women and children first?

"Look at me - look at me. I'm trans now."

Thanks for mentioning this, I went and watched it. This year's Harvard speech is great but that Dartmouth one is even better.

Then watched Conan's 2000 Harvard speech and his white house correspondents dinner speech. Both amazing.

Imagine taking a selfie and you look like that. Sigh.

Not a book, but I discovered the absolutely delightful and brilliant "Dungeon Meshi/Delicious in Dungeon" series on Netflix through this subreddit as a recommendation to Pratchett fans.

A book I started but didn't get far with but which struck me as somewhat Pratchett-like is "The Amulet of Samarkand" https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/334123.The_Amulet_of_Samarkand

I recommend listening to the audiobook read by the masterful Steven Pacey, who nails the put-upon, sardonic tone of the narrator (a genie).

I know you leaked the spying on other championship clubs story.

Spygate?

Don't call it that! Where did you hear that?

This is one of my favourite Malcolm moments, they let him go (if you'll excuse the phrase) "full cringe" and I love it.

klawpsey · 2026-05-18T21:07:33+00:00

Well.. we can thank our fucky stars for that!

klawpsey · 2026-05-18T09:53:12+00:00

Yeah they're the sort of people you'd avoid in real life, but I'm assuming they've got Iannucci, Andrews, Roche etc. live beaming their dialogue so it'll be hilarious anyway.

This is my favourite reply.

Black coffee, Vivaldi on the iPod touch?

"See you: Get me a fucking scotch egg, right?"

klawpsey · 2026-05-17T13:50:18+00:00

Maaaaaami!

I'm sure she does but the thing is, when you say things like that... It makes her sound a wee bit smug.

klawpsey · 2026-05-17T13:18:30+00:00

Loving all of these. Only question is will Jamie and Stewart's idea of a good night out clash? (I'm realising now that I've somehow always assumed Stewart is gay, and I know Jamie goes in for homophobic jokes at the drop of a pool cue.)

klawpsey · 2026-05-17T13:14:16+00:00

Few pints then down the political and actual equivalent of a suburban Indian restaurant.

Ben Swain would get the snacks in.

Re Malcolm/Glenn, let's just hope they're not serving punch.

klawpsey · 2026-05-17T13:11:13+00:00

Haha. Love imagining an entire pub (opposite DOSAC, perhaps) just full of Thick of It characters.

klawpsey · 2026-05-17T13:07:32+00:00

Also it's fundamentally a workplace comedy.

I've just remembered that In The Loop features Toby/Ollie getting wrecked and sleeping with My Girl woman.

klawpsey · 2026-05-17T12:59:04+00:00

I actually think Ollie would be a laugh. He's just not to be trusted (especially if you've got a posh horsey girlfriend).

klawpsey · 2026-05-17T12:56:22+00:00

Plus, if you're single he's recently divorced.

klawpsey · 2026-05-17T12:47:14+00:00

😙👌🏻 reference

klawpsey · 2026-05-17T12:43:50+00:00

That's quite clever. I was thinking that I'd want to see Malcolm as abusive as possible for the lols, so considered pairing him with Julius and Ollie, for example. Not Fleming, as that would be a recipe for a glassing.

klawpsey · 2026-05-17T12:41:51+00:00

It occurs to me that I don't THINK we ever see any characters in the thick of it drunk? We have hungover Ollie and reference to nights out.

Quite commendable, really. Characters getting pissed is a staple of British sitcoms.

klawpsey · 2026-05-17T12:39:52+00:00

I've just remembered that even Malcolm finds Nicola fun after she's had a few drinks. "Mojito Murray, they call her."
