  1. Until I discovered beer/cheap lager as a teenager I hated all fizzy drinks. Now I don't mind them so much, though I'm not a fan of Coke. Fizzy water however is worse than rabies.
  2. It looks like it's distributed by BBC Worldwide. For example I believe BBC America shows a lot of UK programmes that they didn't originally show over here on the Beeb, so my best guess is that Friday Night Dinner is one of those, and Netflix get the rights from there rather than Channel 4.
  3. A single sprout seems to taste of a thousand cabbages condensed into one bitesized portion to me. I don't like vegetables but thanks to the influence of my Mum when growing up I will eat them anyway, except sprouts and mushrooms.
  4. I've always hated cabbage but I had sauerkraut for the first time the other week and it was surprisingly nice. The only problem is that you go in any restaurant in Germany and it stinks of the stuff. I've tried the adding bacon thing to Brussels sprouts before but it just made the bacon taste like sprouts and tasted minging.
  5. Finished 7 Seconds this evening, I ended up really enjoying it after being a bit iffy to start with. A few of the characters grew on me, I was worried that they were making everyone a bastard but they developed quite well.
  6. I can only see a vague February/March date written anywhere, so I guess it's a case of checking regularly for when the itinerary comes out. I'd love to do a Test or two there.
  7. I guess it wasn't that well done then. I might have a go at reading the book.
  8. I watched American Psycho last night which was great, though the ending made my head hurt a bit. I guess that was the whole idea, I normally don't like things that have an ambiguous ending but this was well done.
  9. Don't want to jinx us but this may be an opportunity to boost the goal difference.
  10. I'm one of those who watched a couple of series of The Sopranos and thought it was ok but nothing special (and yes I'm a big fan of 24 too). I guess I could go back and retry it at some stage.
  11. Well, Chelsea seems more like an elaborate Russian money laundering scheme to me, whereas I think the jury is out on whether a different manager would be able to do better in the market with Arsenal than Wenger did. Tbh I'm not that well versed in the actual goings on at Arsenal.
  12. If Conte gets the Jill n Jack from Chelsea I'd be on the phone straight away if I was Arsenal.
  13. It'll be a tough job for whoever takes over, a bit like replacing Fergie has been incredibly difficult as he basically built the club to be what it is today, albeit Arsenal will be starting from a lower base next season.
  14. It's the ECB way, think of an idea so unpalatable that the last idea seems sensible and the counties vote for the franchise T20 as designed.
  15. I think Pisa is the biggest shithole I've ever been to on holiday. Awful. Can't believe I actually went to a place that advertised a wonky building as its main attraction. Shithole.
  16. The lack of an ice cream man in the park this afternoon. Check the forecast you moron.
  17. I prefer 'Don't get done, get Dom!'. Tbf it's the one thing I fear about owning a house, just getting my pants pulled down by some bastard. I'd chop their hands off.
  18. That's really sad news. I quite liked that lottery quiz he did and he seemed a decent bloke.
  19. I only once used the f word in front of my Mum when I was about 10 and got such a bollocking I never swore in front of her again. I always find it strange when I see parents and their kids freely swearing, even when the kids are adults now. At work though anything pretty much goes.
  20. Shouldn't they have been ninja tortoises rather than turtles anyway?
  21. Always had a soft spot for the Manics, largely because of Renford Rejects.
  22. Like everyone else I found her meltdowns annoying, and without wanting to spoil anything, that's why I gave up on the latest series after about 3 episodes.
  23. It's all getting rather tense now but we deserved to win. Just hope for a couple of results going our way tomorrow and it's all to play for.
  24. Another Pointless gripe. When contestants go on and have no knowledge of stuff like chemical elements, Presidents of the USA, countries/flags etc. Just look them up and do a bit of revision before you go on as there are always questions about them ffs.
