Things you want to share with P&B
Miguel Sanchez replied to Ad Lib's topic in The General Nonsense Forum
It's great going into Asda and seeing a pile of them sitting on the shelf with a yellow sticker on them. Got them for 42p a tub the other week and they were still in the fridge days later, absolutely fine. -

CarrbridgeSaintee is extremely obviously not oaksoft. Not every shite poster is a frequently banned poster. -
The Pie and Bovril Dead Pool 2024
Miguel Sanchez replied to Miguel Sanchez's topic in The General Nonsense Forum
This just goes along with what I said about memories I've seen from other people. People skipping lectures to watch the verdict announcement. The only case of news having that sort of immediate cultural impact I can think of is 9/11. It's ludicrous. -

N H L Returns: Official Ice hockey thread

I did read the other day he's one of two Coyotes with a NTC. Grim. -

Tom from Lost is in The X-Files: Also in this episode is the guy in one Frasier episode who buys KACL and turns it into a Spanish language station. -

I also think this is the first year since I started running this that nobody picked Akebono Taro or Peter Higgs. You know the longer somebody's alive the more likely they are to die, right? -
The Pie and Bovril Dead Pool 2024
Miguel Sanchez replied to Miguel Sanchez's topic in The General Nonsense Forum
Week 15 update One death this week, OJ Simpson: OJ Simpson, ex-NFL star who was acquitted of murder, dies aged 76 | OJ Simpson | The Guardian My knowledge of recent American cultural history is based near exclusively on things which have featured in The Simpsons. I've just discovered he was originally intended to be in Last Exit to Springfield, widely regarded as the best Simpsons episode, but he turned it down. What a change in history that would be. Outside of that there's probably an understandable reason that someone born in the UK in the early 90s probably hasn't seen much of his media presence. Anyway, the point is that outside of a vague general idea of who he was or what he's known for, I didn't really appreciate how significant his trial was when it happened. Seeing the clips on the news of his trial and reading recollections from Americans this week though, I've really been taken aback by how current it all seems. His trial, the TV coverage of it, it feels like the sort of media circus that we're all too used to nowadays. I don't really have any opinion on the trial or the question of his guilt, but from my brief exposure to it this week it seems to me that OJ Simpson's most significant cultural impact goes well beyond his sporting prowess, his acting or images of him wearing gloves or driving a truck. I don't even want to think about what a similar case would be like now with social media. Oscar Pistorius is probably the closest recent comparable and that was nothing to what I've seen of OJ this week. If Donald Trump ever reaches a courtroom, would he compare? Could the trial even happen? Simpson died at 76 so he's worth 49 Base Points for @BillyAnchor and @doulikefish. @ICTChris gets a Vice-Captain bonus to give him a total of 74 points.

I'm not following this. If the government planned the weather to coincide with a pandemic, why would the weather be nice when people had to stay indoors?

You know on second thoughts he actually does look familiar. Hmm... "Well-manicured man" is a fantastic name for a character. -

N H L Returns: Official Ice hockey thread
Miguel Sanchez replied to Savage Henry's topic in All Other Sports
My condolences. There's no way I was ever following this given some of the vitriol you get from people on the internet with a particular viewpoint on this but from what I've read this morning, it's just been a complete shambles. If you're in the UK, NHL TV remains the best way to watch the NHL. £86 for a full season of streaming every game, regular season and playoffs, whenever you want it. They seem to make accessing coverage of games as hard as possible wherever you are, but we seem to get a really good deal. -
Spuds.

I think it's only happened to me a couple of times but that ocular migraine thing would usually happen if I hadn't had much sleep. I think it was Dee Man posting about it which clued me in to what it was. Sitting with my eyes shut for 10-15 minutes usually fixed it.

Kim was a homewrecker who got between JD and Elliot then tried to trap him with a baby. Steer well clear. -

Same shite, different toilet. -
I would have said fandom of teams is much more of a thing now than it's been since ~2000 since I started watching. I think Liberty have really pushed the branding and merchandising as part of the growth in popularity, so I don't know if that's actually the case or it just seems like it to me because I see people online paying ludicrous amounts for shiny tshirts covered in Brands.

What age is he here? I think I've only ever seen him in Scrubs and the dark hair is very unsettling. -

I've been without internet for the past few days, so it's a good thing I have The X-Files on DVD. But I have some catching up to do. The Oompa Loompa from the Willy Wonka remake is in The X-Files: Bob Kelso from Scrubs is in The X-Files: The President's bodyguard (or whoever he is) from Independence Day is in The X-Files: (He also is responsible for #gamergate, apparently) -
