I long for the day Sandler quits his 'comedy' acting and actually acts. He's a very good actor when he's the straight man. 'Reign Over Me' and 'Uncut Gems' being examples. I thought he was brilliant. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Wife put Sound Of Music on in tribute to Christopher Plummer the other day. I opted for Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country, but to each their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big fan of Patrick Stewart, but it just never appealed to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted August 14, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 14, 2022 Prompted by the fish and chip shop discussion. Never been to a Harry Ramsden’s. Not actively avoided them, truth of the matter is I’m not really sure whether they’re any good. Just never been near one and found myself wanting fish and chips. Part of me thinks of fish and chips as being inherently suited to a local chippy, wrapped up in paper, rather than served in a chain restaurant. While on the subject, I don’t think I’ve ever been in Frankie & Benny’s, a TGI Fridays or a Nando’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to TGI's but not for many many years, it was great though. Nandos is one for the things you don't get thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 If you signed up to their mailing list TGIs used to do some really good offers... That was completely negated by getting on cocktails in there Harry Ramsdens I have a vague memory of doing once and not being fussed by it, nothing stand out apart from the price F&Bs is / was shite, to me it's the epitome of those type of places, it's super microwaves cooking overpriced shite that I can do better than myself at home Chiquitos was another, that's probably the one that I've been to the most as it was next to the cinema in Wolverhampton that I went to, again nothing special and if you're with your missus and spending £30 you can do better than that at home 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live very near the original Harry Ramsden's, and used to go there fairly frequently when it was a famous, but standalone, takeaway and sit-down chippy. It was excellent. Then it got bought out and became a worldwide chain franchise. Massive nosedive in quality - including at the original Guiseley restaurant, which is still there, but garbage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I've never been to Harry Ramsden's either. I have been to Frankie and Benny's and it's garbage. Much like Pizza Express. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted August 15, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted August 15, 2022 I remember there being a Harry Ramsdens on the Coventry Road near Acocks Green a long long time ago, I'm talking 25 years at least. Apart from that I don't think i've ever even seen a Harry Ramsdens, let alone been to one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was the best fish and chips I’ve ever had! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted August 15, 2022 Author Share Posted August 15, 2022 I went to Harry Ramsden’s in Blackpool as a kid. My grandparents who live there took us as a treat. It’s too long ago for me to remember if it was anything special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 …..watched a full episode of Friends, the Simpsons, Breaking Bad or Seinfeld. All massive shows I know but never really fancied watching or can be bothered to put the time in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No honestly. Mrs F is a massive Friends fan and sometimes it’s on in the background but I then revert to my phone. The Simpsons, Family Guy, South Park etc, just never fancied watching a cartoon. I should give an episode a go at some point to see what I’ve missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted August 15, 2022 Author Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) I’ve watched less than 5 episodes of family guy and South Park combined. I’ve probably watched 90% of all Simpson episodes made. Probably 99% of Friends (I say 99% as I managed to stumble across one the other day I hadn’t seen before).

PussEKatt Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Instead of listing what I dont watch,it is easier for me to say that I watch WW II/Animation/Documentries and 3 sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
