wakey

Jesus wept. We can start a checklist if it makes you happy. Dragons in game of thrones? No problem, it's a fantasy. Talking teddy bear in Ted? Fine, it's a comedy (Ted 2 doesn't count, outraged) Napolean firing cannons at the pyramids? Fucking outraged. White fellas blacking themselves up? Horrific, thank fuck we've moved on. ... getting boring, but if it really rocks your boat feel free to ask me any you want.

you really are tedious aren't you. I agreed with a comment about black actors in historical dramas. I'm eagerly awaiting the post about inauthentic dentistry - I'll be all over that fucker like a bad rash.

yes. insofar as we can make things historically authentic in programmes that are trying to be authentic, deliberately doing anything that isn't is a bit daft. I'm not losing sleep over it *, just don't understand why. * But you should see me if they're using something that wasn't invented until decades later. Fucking livid, I am.

and again, no confusion. In every other respect they'll strive for authenticity. If you're recreating a historical scene with 100 people, mostly extras, that would at the time have had 100 white faces, why throw in a smattering of non-white faces. Genuine question. Seems patronising to me.

aaaand the usual retort. You really couldn't be further off the mark.

historical dramas must waste a shit loads on costumes and sets if they're not interested in historical accuracy.

I'll have to adjust my watch. Couldn't cope with it being out by 1.5 milliseconds.

around 200 from a population of 4,000,000? if you want historical drama to more closely represent modern cultural diversity than historical accuracy, that's fine. if you prefer historical accuracy, that's also fine. but they are 2 different things.

literally the only counter argument for Randall I can think of is that he doesn't take up much. Think we all expect at least one of the three to be off.

I'm with you on this. If it's supposed to be historically accurate, show it as it was. Owt else is taking the piss.

I'd be a bit disappointed if Sheehan or Morley left but that's about it. I actually had to go through the whole squad thinking I must have forgotten somebody, but alas no. The rest at best merit a 'meh' with a few 'woohoos'.

maybe they bid £3.5m and we negotiated it down to £2.5m

fuck me ... Jackie Chan's not ageing well.

you'll need to tell everyone which party he's from so they know whether to praise him or slag him off.

Back on the original topic ... just got our long stay visa for France, so at the moment I'm loving everything and everyone. Even you fuckers.

Days ago. He'll have changed his mind by now.

It's all gone a bit Terry Thomas on here tonight

ah ... post makes more sense now. hopefully just being cautious after the injury.

we'll be minted 😁

Think I remember him from another forum donkey's years ago. Used to have regular meltdowns saying he was leaving but never did. Think he eventually pretended to leave and started posting under another name until he was found out. Used to be some right whoppers on forums back in the day. Think either folk have grown up a bit since or all the mentalists have fucked off to twitter / facebook.

entire team taken off at half time.

her current CV says she's been PM for the last 8 years

think you've watched the wrong one. Goes backwards every time, hence the shit-loads of own goals in that vid. you're just watching it wrong.

jesus! very sad.

also need to maintain our record of playing in the top flight in every decade since league football began. tick tock ...
