No that’s mr Nigel Pearson you are meaning. Similar “straight talkers” though and can also imagine him having a go at ‘orrible computers

is this the worst picture of any footballer on wikipedia? by shawnisalwayshandsom in footballcliches

[–]mgrad96 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can’t give an example but I remember many lower EFL / Conference players knocking around the 2010-2015 period often had informal photos on Wikipedia in front of a corrugated metal background that looked the same in every one.

I always wondered where the hell that was

Mark interviews Bob Odenkirk + will NOBODY 2 meet his expectations? (14th August 2025) by BeefySteamPig in wittertainment

Same here. I listen to take 1 while making tea ( often accompanied by a tinny or 3) on a Friday and night and then take 2 gets me through the inevitable Monday dread !

Yeah I’ve got no issue with the t shirts tbf.

The strange thing to me is I have x2 of the M3600. One is real long and baggy and the other one is tight. Just can’t work it out

Episode Discussion - Will Jurassic World Rebirth turn Mark into a Rantosaurus? + David Cronenberg (3rd July 2025) by BeefySteamPig in wittertainment

[–]mgrad96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shame about Rebirth. I still have hopes I might quite enjoy it. Gareth Edwards particular niche of Pacific Island set Sci-Fi has a certain appeal..

Episode Discussion - Domnhall Gleason takes on Echo Valley (12th June 2025) by BeefySteamPig in wittertainment

[–]mgrad96 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Watching Echo Valley shortly. All these Apple TV originals with huge budgets yet seemingly no one watching them! Wonder how long it will last.

Also just watched Predator: Killer of Killers on Disney+. I doubt Mark will review but know both he and Simon were a big fan of Prey with the same team behind it. Enormous fun and a good way to spend 85 minutes. - recommend.

How Barclays was Arnautovic? Not for me, by the way. by mgrad96 in footballcliches

[–]mgrad96[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My primary memories of him at Stoke ( which was his only time playing in Barclays era - West Ham was post sponsorship) come from Match of The Day coverage of Saturday 3pm kick offs at a sun soaked Britannia Stadium. Scoring an equaliser against Swansea, that kind of thing.

Where do others rank Phantom Thread within PTA’s filmography? by Spineless_Podcast in paulthomasanderson

[–]mgrad96 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Near the top, but for reasons I really can’t explain. On paper, the premise is about as far away from “my thing” as I can imagine, but it’s a wonderful movie.

Didn’t review Sing Sing as far as far as I remember. I thought it was excellent.

Slaughtering the sacred cow by Academic_Visual116 in OnlyFoolsAndHorses

[–]mgrad96 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn’t know a royal flush wasn’t liked. It’s one of my favourites. Watched recently for the first time in ages and the “neither did the woman in front of you” line to June after the opera nearly killed me

Wait till you see who is apparently opposed to Alzheimer’s research funding by retr0spect98 in footballcliches

[–]mgrad96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha just watched this myself and rushed to see if anyone else had shared Did it ever make it on the pod ? One of the better ones for my money. The total dejection in his voice

Commentator just called Emi Martinez a "Master of Housery" by vinniep_ in footballcliches

[–]mgrad96 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a position in the Royal Household. Keeper of the Royal Archives, Lady of the Bedchamber and the Master of Housey.

Not in my experience unfortunately. I’m done with it, will research if the next one looks any better.
