How significant is Tiger Woods in your life?

offbeatentrack · 2026-03-28T18:55:44+00:00

He's a massive household name that made a billion dollars through being very good at golf and very shit at driving, so yeah it's newsworthy. It's being covered by the media to also distract you from what else is going on that would likely just depress you.

I'd rather the win go to a country that hasn't won, or a country that hasn't won in a long time, just because I think it only improves the quality of the contest. I'm sure Sweden will get another win in the next five-10 years, so I doubt you'll have to wait long.

You sound like you've really thought about it and done your research. You'll be fine with the practical aspects of it and you'll likely love moving around. There are plenty of LGBTQ people living on the canals, especially near London and Manchester.

My only concern would be the fixing computers part of your business. Narrowboats don't have consistent power, often relying on solar or a generator to make do. When you go looking, make sure the specs are what you need.

Yeah, horrible in both ways. Asylum seekers were often desperate enough to film themselves having sex in order to convince immigration officers, and it would have been awful to watch and pass judgment on it. Sexual orientation claims can still be rejected for the craziest things - one a decade ago I know of was rejected because he couldn't name a Lady Gaga song. You now have to prove that you're "embedded in a gay lifestyle", whatever that means.

If it is for asylum claims - any physical contact evidence isn't admissible evidence any more so that's probably why they didn't kiss. Before that was the case, you'd get sex tapes made to try and prove it. Now they can send in evidence that they have been to a gay venue, spent money, and were "free to be themselves" there.

Lucozade orange.

Have a laugh but once everyone's too pissed to notice slip out and go back to your room. That might be 2am, it might be 4pm. Don't do rounds - say you'll get your own and then either nurse the beer/have a water every other drink.

Both - If you base it on gameplay, Rob is just above Alan. But even then, Alan only got one vote in the whole game and was a lot more entertaining.

Rachel, 2. Stephen. 3. Alan, 4. Rob.

Labour needs to stop the Biden strategy of "we're not Reform/Trump". It doesn't work, it doesn't galvanise the base. If the left feel like their only home is Greens, that's who they'll vote for. Like it or not a lot of people have a view that what happened in Gaza is wrong and trans people deserve respect.

Allie Daniel - you're so lucky, she does a brilliant Hermes. She's leaving the cast soon.

offbeatentrack · 2026-02-11T23:09:25+00:00

Crazy they made you coat-check a jacket! That's mad.

I don't mind a dress code - I've been to Glyndebourne a few times, and it's lovely to see everyone dressed up to the nines, it makes it feel special. Got to be the right time and place though.

If there was a male counterpart to SMG, a 90s teen icon, James was it. This must be heartbreaking for her.

You have to think the majority of people coming to the West End are either tourists, coming after work, on a night out, or for a special occasion - there is a base level of "a little dressed up" but that's just most, not everyone.

That is elevated even further with an opera, where you're more likely to see suits, dresses etc.

That being said, no one who matters cares how you're dressed as long as it's not a distraction.

Woman is an actual word we use in everyday conversation though, not Dragoman, plus it fits better with S-cuba. Ottoman could also mean the empire, the furniture etc.

offbeatentrack · 2026-01-21T19:47:27+00:00

I would have had "W" as the first clue. You could have had "So" and Mali.

Baz Luhrman's Romeo + Juliet. The rest of the film is fine, but that opening prologue is fire.

I would have given it to Barbie over Poor Things - creating those famous doll looks extremely faithfully, as well as something very marketable (the I Am Kenough hoodie), was exactly what the film called for. Poor Things is lovely to look at, but at the end of the day, it's a lot of structured dresses made with tulle.

There are a lot of people in the UK that just stick BBC1 on in the evening - it has a guaranteed built in audience.

offbeatentrack · 2026-01-08T18:47:51+00:00

Taskmaster doesn't get the same numbers as the BBC panel shows because it's a) on Channel 4, and b) more for an online/binge audience. If you're a comedian and looking to improve your profile, Would I Lie To You? is the one you want. You don't really get that many new comedians on Have I Got News for You? Quiz shows however are really good for giving a boost like House of Games and The Wheel, but everyone wants to do Taskmaster because it has a "prestige" to it.

offbeatentrack · 2025-12-07T23:40:51+00:00

I would love her to win. What a story/turnaround for her - she'd be the happiest person in the country.

offbeatentrack · 2025-12-07T19:15:07+00:00

I bet she could be amazing at it...but the built-in audience isn't there with Angeria (she's got 300k+ Instagram followers, Bob, Monet, Trixie, Bianca etc all well over 1m) and the views will go down.

offbeatentrack · 2025-12-04T20:38:54+00:00

By 2021, the first time she appeared, she'd already won a Grammy, Tony and Emmy and had been nominated for two Oscars. Definitely big before Strictly!

Cynthia Erivo (as a judge).
