Same thing goes for standup comedy - with a VERY few exceptions, I just have no interest. I think I like humour, but I'm somehow not really into 'comedy'.

Our family one is called 'ACME'. It's the initials of me, the missus and our two daughters. SFW. The one for the group of friends with whom we have regular holidays is called 'Seven Go Mad on Sanatogen'. SFW. The beer and football mates one is called (with crushing unoriginality) 'The Lads'. Definitely NSFW. Of course, W is not an issue anymore.

Not sure what circumstances you're referring to, but I usually do it with photos for VT, because the original is too big for the site. I used to compress and/or crop them, but I found that an easier quick-and-dirty way is to use a screenshot, as it's lower resolution.

As a forgotten one-off, Mel Smith's "Colin's Sandwich" was criminally underrated. This thread is paradoxically easy for me, as sitcoms are a genre that I have very little interest in, so the ones I genuinely like are in (low) single figures. Of the programmes listed in this thread so far, the vast majority are ones I've either never watched, am totally indifferent to, or actively dislike.

I remembered another one - The Likely Lads (and, better still, Whatever Happened to...). Men Behaving Badly was a poor shadow.

OK, whose wife was it this time?

Burn anyone who uses the word 'curated' in any context other than museums and art galleries.

Not really a big sitcom fan, but... Father Ted Cheers Frasier That's about it.

It's this new long hairstyle. One gust of wind and it ties itself in knots. During the colder weather I wore my warm beanie hat, but it's too warm now. So I had to get something to wear outside. Not ideal, but it does the job. I'm past caring.

I have bought a baseball hat.

Apparently you can in European competitions.

On that subject (and this could equally have gone in the Books or Religion threads), this is well worth a read:

Just started Ripley. Looks promising, particularly the b&w cinematography, which gives it a very 'period authentic' look.
