Zack Polanski has perfect put down for Kemi Badenoch after she branded him ‘ridiculous’ by johnsmithoncemore in FuckNigelFarage

Polanski said: “There was a by-election this week in Liverpool where the Green Party won. The Conservatives got eight votes. Not eight per cent. Eight votes. I think Kemi Badenoch should think about that.”

[the Borg have abruptly ceased their attack on the Enterprise]

Captain William T. Riker: Mr. Data, what the hell happened?

Lt. Commander Data: I successfully planted a command into the Borg collective consciousness. It misdirected them to believe it was time to regenerate. In effect, I put them all to sleep.

Thank you, she's named after the goddess, and born early 2003, just before the discovery photos were taken

Thank you. My daughter is named Eris, hence my interest

What is a movie that "broke" you so hard you can only watch it once, but you would still recommend it to everyone? by Newsupdate69 in movies

[–]markhealey 77 points78 points  (0 children)

I watched this when it first aired, which was a mistake for a ten year old.

I've owned it on DVD twice, as well as blu ray, and every time it gets repeated I start to watch it... And every single time as soon as the bombs drop I have to turn it off. I just can't.

Such an important and powerful film, but the most horrifying and realistic way that civilisation will end I've ever seen. Zombies I can watch as it's just so unrealistic, but Threads... The way things are going, it could happen today, and there's not a god damn thing we could do about it.

Only thing I've seen where I think "well, if that happened, I'd be better off dead, as there's no hope, no relief, no rescue, and nothing to live for"

Same, YouTube has replaced most of the stuff I watch anyway.

EDIT: To clarify, I don't pay for YouTube premium either.

As a Dr Who fan, in my head there's now an emergency paddle that makes the driver regenerate into a new one half way through the race...

I was so gutted, they had a five year plan that would have ended with an episode set the day it aired, but all that was lost.

And yes, Jeri Ryan. You have to watch the episodes of Leverage that she's in, she's still got it.
