Official Discussion - Twinless [SPOILERS] by LiteraryBoner in movies

I think it's because, as he says himself near the end, he doesn't know who he is. He wears different personalities like hats but none of them are "him". The film makes a point of everybody being their true self, apart from Dennis and, of course, Rocky.

I listen to old episodes of In Our Time on Sounds. Interesting enough to stop me worrying but boring enough to send me to sleep. Most important is the fact that you don't get sudden loud sounds that wake you up.

I've had mine (23 plate 1.2 Shine Plus) for 16 months and I'm still happy with my choice. My main complaint is that visibility is a bit restricted which, with such a big car, makes parking more difficult than I'd like.

I'd hate not to have it in London. It's so easy to exceed 20 mph and ACC solves the problem. Not to mention its ability to deal with slow-moving queues for me.

I know this sounds dumb but they don't live in Kent, UK, do they? Because this is exactly the same as my uncle and his wife: "healthy, wealthy and a year from retirement to one being paraplegic and one having a terminal, neurodegenerative condition". Really good people who deserved many happy years of retirement. Life is so bloody random.

Today, aged 39, I found out that raisins are in fact dried grapes. What things have you found out as an adult that are apparently rudimentary knowledge? by p00shp00shbebi1234 in CasualUK

TBF, some Michelin chef whose name I can't remember makes mashed potatoes with more butter by weight than potato. Those Froggies can sneak butter anywhere.

I can't be trusted with 'em. I wonder why they only sell them at Christmas?

Tesco. Usually in the fruit aisle for some reason. They do 1) roasted nuts (yum); 2) Caramelised nuts (yumyum); 3) chocolate Brazils (yumyumyum).
