Always preferred Hartbeat to Art Attack. Buchanan was just a bit creepy. Plus, no Morph.

Also, was there not a story that those jumpers NB wore cost about £300 or something?

Living: David Attenborough

Dead: Marilyn Monroe

Fictional: Ford Prefect

Well, let’s hope it’s nothing trivial.

The caravans in this case are a type known as static caravans - basically the same sort of accommodation as a mobile, towed caravan, but usually bigger and more or less permanently positioned somewhere. They even sometimes have additional casings that hide the wheels underneath to make them look more like houses.

EDIT, as I didn’t answer your main question. A caravan park is a term used both for something like a trailer park, where customers tow in their own caravan, but also, as in this case, for a holiday park with these static caravans spread around, similar to small lodges.

Behind the bar - yeah, that’s what they mean here too, the people who serve at the bar. As it’s in a holiday park, it’s likely that it’s a family friendly bar where kids are allowed to be as long as their parents are with them, and can even probably go up and order snacks or soft drinks by themselves. It’s not a bar bar in the usual adults only sense.

Tragic story :-(

There are certain 12" records which despite only having one it two songs in them go for ludicrous prices, in the hundreds. I’d quite like to have those please.

They did - the last one was in 1977 though, which really isn’t that long ago!

EDIT - wait, you said public beheading. That was in 1939 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugen_Weidmann?wprov=sfla1

Well, that’s what I heard!

Ghostbusters.

Seems to be settled that he didn’t cover it, but damn, I wish he had. Would love to hear that.

I wonder if people are getting mixed up with Cohen’s song, The Partizan.

Scottish one here - Soor Plooms

And, in true Scottish tradition, they were apparently named as a result of an incident involving killing some English people. Not heard that before, but then I’ve never looked.

Either way, they’re delicious 😁

Maybe something to do with Scientology? There’s that whole thing about Lord… whatever… (Veenu?) dropping souls into Hawaiian volcanoes.

I think that does change things.

I was previously inclined towards something like, “He’s your brother, and I would try and say to him that while you disagree with him as fully as it’s possible to, you will still be there because he’s your brother, and that still means something to you” or similar. Something that might get him to understand that this isn’t easy for you.

However, if you were already at his actual wedding, and this is just a party in another country, nah - tbh, I think it’d be fair to give it a miss even if he wasn’t being a Nazi apologist.

Lost in the Movies - fewer than 10k subscribers, but he deserves so many more.

His work is generally on movies and TV, usually with a more art house feel.

His major piece of work though is his 30-40 part video series (and also podcast/blog) on Twin Peaks.

None of your, “Here’s the explanation of EVERYTHING,” nonsense here though.

Instead he looks at the show, its characters and its arcs with a contemplative eye, picking out interesting visual and narrative parallels, examining the show and film as a piece of art rather than as a puzzle to be ‘solved’.

It’s exceptional and it mystifies me that it’s not more well known. He’s been doing it for about ten years now I think. If you’re a Peaks fan, it’s an absolute must IMO.

I imagine there will be a large number of people who’s first step is to futility off themselves everyday.

Possibly, although from their point of view (and going by GD rules), they would wake, kill themselves and then immediately wake again.

So, after a while of trying that, it might make more sense for them to try and make the days feel as long as possible to delay that waking up moment.

Meanwhile, Ann Telnaes, the cartoonist at WaPo has resigned, after her cartoon (see link below) satirising all this toadying behaviour was rejected:

Ah, the Shaggy Defence.

Conversely, I still sometimes refer to DVDs, Blu Rays and even streaming media as “videos”.

Which is both anachronistic, but also technically correct.

I watched it for the first time the other day. I didn’t hate it, but it wasn’t at all what I expected, and I’m kind of surprised it has the profile it does. I quite liked the ambiguity of a lot of it though.

Interested to see what responses you get here.

You start correcting people when they say “your” instead of “you’re” :-)

Paul Hardcastle senses an opportunity…
