    BaaLocks got a reaction from Rev in Watchable telly   
    Stumbled across this before seeing it recommended here. The shots of the audience when Korn were playing are just insane. I despise that frat boy American - the sort who just flexes their muscles and screams "whoo, let's go, yaayyyy, <insert expletive>" so this was largely a tough watch for me. But just amazing what happens when you put a lot of drunk people in a space with no controls and then whip them into a frenzy.
    BTW - the Norm Cook comments remind me of those "look at <insert name of 1960s sex bomb> thirty years on, you won't believe pictures of her". Shock horror, person ages at the rate of one year per year - fancy that eh!

    Marriage: being touted as great BBC drama but I'm three quarters of the way through and it's passing me completely by. Meant to be intimate and 'small' but it's just slow and thin. Writing is poor, characters (particularly the boss character and the daughters boyfriend), scenarios etc are totally unbelivable. Something amazing has to happen in the last episode to save anything of this.

    BaaLocks got a reaction from TigerTedd in A thread about why a lot of what you remember is wrong   
    A lot of the explanation is down to the fact that when you remember something you are not remembering it, you are remembering the last time you remembered it. It's like a rewrite of your memory bank every time you recount that memory.
    Take a moment to consider a memory from a long time ago of a friend or family member for have known for a long time. You don't remember them as they were at the time of that memory because your have rewritten your memory of that person subsequently.
    Which is why, in law, testimony of events long passed are so flawed, as suggested above.

    Best way you can save money is to agree not to get wrapped up (see what I did there) in it all. Two presents each, reasonable price cap, no stockings, new lights or bottles of expensive nutmeg flavoured liqueurs from M&S. Still have your Christmas dinner, still sing carols round the tree, still go to midnight mass or whatever but just reign in the consumerist claptrap they try to convince us all we can't do without.

    BaaLocks got a reaction from GB SPORTS in Holiday Plans 2022   
    I work for a French company so interact with them many times a day. Brexit is not even on their top twenty things of things to worry about, so if anyone thinks they are doing this as some grand 'eff you' I am sorry to say we simply are not that important to them. Actually, most I have spoken to are genuinely sad we have left the EU (a couple think we are crazy) and I have yet to have one conversation that suggests we deserve to be taught a lesson. Seems some have moved on from 1415 (and I don't mean quarter past two).

    BaaLocks got a reaction from I know nothing in Things that annoy me that should annoy me   
    The phrase "uptick" - as in "we are seeing an uptick in sales". Does the word 'increase' not quite work to describe that? It seems to cover most of the needs of expression in the sentence so I struggle to see the place for "uptick" in our vocabulary. It adds nothing, except making people sound like David Brent.

    Having to phone a number to know what time it was (or wait to listen to the beeps on the radio)
    Not being able to phone home to tell them you would be late home, or even where you were (or not having 2p to do it from the phone box)
    Not actually knowing where you were, if you didn't have a map or A-Z
    Having to go to the library to find out the answer to a question
    Giving home three rings to tell them you were on your way home
    Answering a call by reading out your phone number
    Answering a call without knowing who it was
    Having to ask for the key to the lock on the home phone before you could use it
    Not being able to remember someone's phone number
    Portable music being nine songs on a C90 and hoping your Walkman batteries didn't rum out

    I still think he will be better just handing it into the ticket office they can contact him saying someone handed in his season ticket. If that person decide to give him a reward that upto that person.
