  1. Phillip Schofield, Jimmy Savile and Rolf Harris walk into an Irish bar and the barman says “oh no, not yew tree again.” If you’re not from here that might not seem funny but I’ve been howling for about 36 hours since I heard it. 😂
  2. Fast X. Utter shit but I enjoyed the hell out of it.
  3. Doing pretty much the same as before but contracting as a consultant via my own company definitely not for tax avoidance purposes. 😂
  4. Quit my job this morning. Goodbye financial security, hello self employment. 😂
  5. What have you been up to with the tumble drier to break the poor thing eh Jan? 😂
  6. Clearly the solution is to ban Americans.
  7. Certainly didn’t test positive for a chin. 😂
  8. Cool! Where abouts? I lived in the city centre just near Piccadilly station for a while then in Altrincham for the last 4 years. Really miss Manchester.
  9. Born in Saltburn-by-the-sea, grew up in Redcar until mid 20’s. Moved to Hull for work for 4 years then 7 years in Manchester and now I’m in Twickenham. I love Manchester but whenever I go back to visit the folks in Redcar it’s just full of Brexiters. The last time I went to a pub with my dad people kept saying they couldn’t live in London because “it’s not England anymore with all the blacks and foreigners.”
  10. As a northerner living in London I much prefer the south. The King can get in the fucking bin though.
  11. I've not seen that Clive Barker interview before. Absolutely loved it. It makes you wonder why they kept persisting after seeing him absolutely rinse every single idiot who tried to question him. Also who the fuck were these 70 year old grannies dressed up as kids getting offended over fucking Hellraiser?
  12. Renfield (2023) Really funny. Enjoyed it immensely.
  13. I'm hopefully just about to play Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom as long as I can get the emulator to work. Edit: Got it working and played through the first two shrines. Good stuff so far.
  14. Near Dark is awesome. A really good proper 80's gorefest. The Fright Night remake is actually pretty good if you can forgive some typically dodgy early 2010's CGI. I really enjoyed it otherwise but one thing that I love about 80's horror is that it all had to be done with proper practical effects. CGI just doesn't work as well which is crazy when you think about it. Tom Savini was making effects in films like the original Friday the 13th and Maniac (another stone cold classic) back in the 70's and early 80's with a budget of less than $10k (seriously) that absolutely blows away stuff from 20 or 30 years later. Speaking of Savini, I don't know if you know much about the guy but I'd recommend a quick google of his past work. He was a war photographer in Vietnam and then made a name for himself as the go to guy for gore and splatter effects. He did the effects on the original Dawn of the Dead, Friday the 13th 1 and 4, The Prowler, The Burning, Maniac, Creepshow 1 and 2 and Day of the Dead amongst others. There's a great story about when they filmed the head explosion scene in Maniac where he fired a real shotgun through the car windscreen to get the effect. Problem was that they didn't have permits to film as the budget woudn't allow it and firing any gun in New York at the time carried a five year jail term so they had to get the shot then run like fuck and dump the car in the river. He's also this guy.
  15. Have you seen the sequel? It's nowhere near as good as the original but it's a lot of fun. Also check out Vamp with Grace Jones from the 80's if you're into these kinda movies.
  16. I'm northern. What's your problem?
  17. I'd rather shit in my hands and clap!
  18. @Graeme might know where to find them. Think he dug them out last time somebody brought it up a few years back.
  19. The first Thor was great, second was meh, Ragnarok was amazing and Love and Thunder is worse than AIDS.
  20. Yeah, his words are usually something like "it rubs the lotion on it's skin, or else it gets the hose again".
