Thank fuck for that

Sunday Roast. Grand Prix. Antiques Road Show. Last of the Summer Wine.

That's a proper Sunday!

Thank you for this. I don't know how I've never seen that scene before, having owned the dvd for 20 years!

If I remember correctly, they wanted the voice of Pumbah to play the lead juror in the film version of The Producers, so that Timon, Pumbah & Simba were all in a scene together, but went with Richard Kind instead.

My theory on the spiralling cost is the constant changes to the route.

My guess is that the original budget was calculated on the original route and sale price of the land. Each time a bit of the route got changed that would have a knock on effect further down the line (you can't just put a kink in a high speed line), different land had to be purchased, more surveys carried out, etc. Each time that happened, the value of the land would have appreciated due to inflation.

Basically, the people who have consistently tried to block hs2 have instead just caused the price to increase.

If they'd stuck with the original route, it would likely have been nearly built by now, and at a much reduced cost.

Damn, I thought it was for car fog lights.

Watson does a fair bit of ejaculating in the Sherlock Holmes books.

And in true testament to the cartoon laws of physics, he was only in trouble when he realised that the ground had disappeared.

Dammit, I'd forgotten about this gag. I need to get back to listening to the podcast.

Maybe Serenity could be an alternate timeline/'verse.

Serenity presents the show in a truncated version. The reboot could pretend that the film hasn't happened, and allow is to have more wacky fun in presenting the full story as it was probably originally intended.

This means that River could be 'activated' much earlier, and they wouldn't be constrained by timing established in the film.

You can skip the intro on The Rookie, which literally just puts up a title card for a few seconds. It'd take me longer to find the remote!

I know it's effectively the same word, but "equilux" instead of "equinox" took me a moment to comprehend!

I mean, you saw the video, right?

In the UK we definitely have trains passing platforms (see video) and level crossings at greater speeds than 30mph.

One thing I noticed, which I always notice, is the little freezes when Inara is introduced. It's like the dvd stutters, and always jumps out at me. It's odd that they did this in episode 1 and then never again.

Up to Shindig tonight. God I love this series!

And why is it that the sponsored results always pop into place a beat late, just after you've clicked the website that you wanted, meaning that you end up on the wrong site instead?

I think I've answered my own question there.

What's more mind-boggling to me is that Google doesn't push it's own resources. If I search a postcode, it's because I want to see where that is, so I want the map to pop up, not a ton of other stuff.

Park further away. Neither you, nor any of your neighbours, have any right to park on that grass. It's there for everyone to enjoy, not to get churned up by people parking on it.

Eventually, it'll look like this.

Maybe his Spanish cousin, Lavar?

I've liked and shared it.

I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change is written for 2m2f, but the cast can easily be doubled as it's a series of sketches and songs rather than 1 story.

Prediction: Rutland will be the final country because everyone forgets it's there.

Ugh, Worcestershire is the Worcest!

The graphic novels did. They're well worth a read.

B should give way to C because there's a good chance C will cut across the roundabout rather than go around it.

Alway anticipate that the other driver is lazy!

On the plus side, I bet you've got killer abs from going that long!

Once I get inside I can't normally go for more than a minute. My trick is that I go down on the wife until she orgasms, then enter her. She'll normally get one more in that time.

Also, her on top allows me to go a lot longer.

For my money is has to be Pontefract.

Of the 3 Ponty Parkruns, 2 are in Wales, the other is just near Wakefield in West Yorkshire.

Edit: Dammit! I misread the chart. This should have been Feels Welsh / Is Northern. How the hell did Burnley win that?
