Aisles of shite, union flags, the lot. Went to the dentist earlier followed by a trip to Tesco and saw a couple of small shelves of tat they're trying to punt. Certainly not, "Aisles of shite, union flags, the lot". It was barely noticeable. Mind you, were I head of merchandising for MacTesco I'd be looking to sell a discounted UF-printed apron at the butcher's counter. Just for max seethe. A trick missed, I think. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted April 14, 2023 Share Posted April 14, 2023 The Dundee Kingsway (aptly named you may say) has crowns floating about the shop, bags of "Royal Lamb and Mint" crisps and coronation cupcakes stacked from floor to ceiling. Disgusting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My local Tesco had a very limited display of coronation tat at the end of an aisle. I had the impression that they were rather embarrassed and it was only there on orders from head office. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planet’s humped I certainly don’t want the warming, as a few days ago it was heater and defroster on in the car at 7:20 followed by full A/C for the afternoon with it hitting 32! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zetterlund Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Every time I've been to the USA it's been either 35 degrees or minus 10. Would be nice to go when it's actually comfortable to be outdoors. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anytime someone drives sedately round a corner the tyres have to screech. The same when changing lanes on a motorway. Anytime a car slowly rolls to a stop, even if it's a seemingly new, high-end motor, the brakes squeal. It's very subtle but I can't unhear it. for me it is "drinking" from obviously empty take away coffee cups. Would it kill them to just fill them up with water to attempt to convey an element of volume! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eating scenes of course present real issues for actors in terms of continuity and more obviously having to say lines with their mouth's full. However in terms of having a conversation over dinner at the expense of eating, you could explain it through reasonable everyday circs ie conversational topic too important, stress, not hungry etc etc. Coffee cups are props introduced to strengthen the realism of the situation - being clearly empty has the complete opposite effect. One for the Film & TV Tropes thread is actors from the method school licking the tip of their thumb (no other finger) after using their hands to take a bite of something. Once noticed you can't unseen it. Edited April 15, 2023 by KingRocketman II 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
