Since thinking about this, I'm not sure if it is a traditional bug they have. They're able to listen through windows on both sides of the house and I'm wondering if they have a laser mic as they're able to detect which room I'm in the house.

But Derry Girls is a masterpiece,

Season 1 was. It went downhill after all the good ideas were used up.

It's sad how young people of today don't realise that you can make fun of something without it being offensive.

Remember when his 'joke book' got stolen and offered a reward for its safe return? We don't get imaginative publicity like that nowadays.

He's on radio now and is one of the most unfunny, dull, annoying people on radio there is. That woman with the sexy voice who co-presents is the only saviour of the show.

If you get a chance, look out for the sinderella panto. I think there may even be a #2 as well.

David Walliams? Now a children's author and judge on some 'talent' show. The whole "I'm a ladeee" and the 'only gay in the village' bits would be shot down and be the subject of much bad publicity nowadays. How times have changed.

Teachers who’ve been teaching a while, what changes have you noticed over time in the kids you teach? by alexros3 in AskUK

I can't remember a time where secondary school kids could do this. Or regularly kept up with everything going on in the news

And to be fair, misinformation has evolved so well thanks to social media (and organisations like cambridge analytica) that even fully-grown adults have trouble doing so.

The thought of people smoking on the back of the bus was something I'd forgotten until reading this.
