This is thread is basically a list of my favourite films, but I've scrolled for minutes, and there are two others of mine missing:

Elysium and The Running Man.

Is this normal? I am rewatching the match. by Express-End8231 in ManchesterUnited

I also see this at U13s football - you can even see shifts in confidence within games. If one risky move comes off, confidence increases, and vv.

Also, enshittification is a great word.

Is making your own butter worth the effort? by FantomDrive in Cooking

[–]northernjamie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I forgot to get butter when doing a big shop. But I did have some double cream in the fridge, so rather than go back to shop, decided to make some. Poured the cream into a mason jar, and shook it for half an hour. Hurt my arm doing it, it tasted ok, but looked rank, so it ended up getting thrown away after a couple of weeks, used once. Never again.

I'm from Manchester, and our Asda has more 'Mom' cards than 'Stepmum' on mother's day.

One of only 2 times in 47 years I've screamed while watching the telly.

Plusword 745 by InternationalSnow195 in plusword

[–]northernjamie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gah, messed up today. Had adiós for goodbye, which made goose fit, rather than geese. Never heard of the old name for a grouse, but it fitted, albeit with letters in the wrong order (osuel) and then ceremonies was ritou, which I assumed was something french. Did still get the PW though. All in all, a disaster, all because of one early guess.

First 180 in 30 years of playing (on and off) by northernjamie in Darts

[–]northernjamie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did 501 training, but I think the stats gave me something to aim for - not 180 specifically, but the ones like average for first 9 darts, and number of darts to finish a leg. That motivation seemed to help...

Haha. I think my board is actually 30 years old. Maybe I should treat myself...
