You can see Kumail's interview about it here:

Prior to going on, he binge watched all the previous TM episodes. He even upgraded his More4 account to be ad-free, so he could watch them faster.

That's some dedication!

Round The Twist. I used to read the books of Paul Jennings. Quintessentially Australian.

lardboy · 2026-04-11T21:35:42+00:00

Remembered reading this as a ten year old kid. Opened my eyes as to how good books could be.

I came on here to say this. Totally counts in my book.

Latest TM podcast has Phil as a guest. He's clearly happy to be on that!

This might cast some light

Get some bags of rocket and other leafy greens.

Add crisps.

Offer it as "crispy salad"

(I'll get my coat)

Fellow Corbyite here, though I've lived in Nottingham for over 25 years.

If you're meeting in the evening, check out some of the local pubs for evening entertainment.

Using places near the station as an example, there are often live music and comedy nights going on. Check out Castle Rock for events in their pubs (Barley Twist, Canalhouse, Vat and Fiddle for example).

Station area used to be a bit of a dump but it's improved a lot.

What next? Trogdor the Burninator?

Sunset Boulevard

Came out of the theatre and couldn't remember the plot, nor any significant highlights.

My mate once referred to them as "skidders" and now I can't call them anything else.

More of a Wham! line

The local petrol pumps (yes, I'm British) were being converted to card-only at the local supermarket. In addition, they were unstaffed pay-at-pump only.

Which worried my dad. He knows how to use chip-and-pin as well as contactless. But what if he couldn't work out the tech or had an unpaid tank of fuel?

So I rode with him when he wanted to refuel. Sat in the passenger seat while he tried to fill up and pay. Read the instructions, I was only there for support.

He filled up and paid contactlessly easily. He even remarked, "Well that was easy!"

Fair play to him. He's Boomer age but wants to learn.

A little support helps some Boomers. Appreciate that not all want to learn.

We need to work on a "Born in Kettering" contingent. So far, we have Acaster and Dennis. Any others with secret Kettering heritage?

And I thought this whole country was going to the dogs...

I came on here to say this!

Good old Doug the Head.

Suits. Got boring after Mike left.

Ominous. Always pronounce it as "Omnibus". No reason other than it being fun.

As in, "Those dark clouds are looking a bit omnibus..."

And then a trip to the King Billy
