He/him. Happily married HE Admin, Coventry City season ticket holder and amateur actor. Dog and cat father, talks a lot about pop culture and left-leaning politics
We're rewatching "Line of Duty" in anticipation of the new series next year.
I used to believe Martin Compston was doing an impeccable Coventry accent and was like "fair play, no idea how he does that" and was disappointed when it was revealed to me that his character is London/Southern

Got our tickets for Wake Up Dead Man on Wednesday, so just need to avoid spoilers for the next 48 hours.
The world is increasingly heading to shit, but I hope if nothing else I get to get the nice lil' treat of a new Knives Out film every couple of years

I wish to take this opportunity to again state that the remake of The Naked Gun is amazing.
This was one of the funniest jokes I've seen in a film in a long time:
"I haven't had the heart to tidy since my wife died."
"I'm so sorry. How did she pass?"
"Incredible. She had an arm like a cannon."

the reason the remake works so well is because it basically understood the key to a good comedy is just packing in as many jokes as possible because if one doesn't work you have forgotten about it by the time another one which does work arrives

The latest issue of Retro Gamer has a special covering the Xbox 360 and I have to tell you: I am perturbed, I am triggered, I am utterly rattled, I am thrown into an existential crisis, the camera is slowly zooming in on my eyes as Sound of Silence plays

An absolutely pitiful amount of money in the context of a national budget, but utterly devastating on the ground for the HE sector

This thread is utterly extraordinary. I both have a new respect for Home Alone and am laughing my ass off
But the wet bandits are also gods. They take fatal injury after fatal injury and they just dust themselves off and continue their relentless pursuit of Kevin. It should be horrifying, but
Kevin’s innocence obscures this.

Recently found out, to my extreme displeasure, that you can no longer get a refund if you accidentally bought a train ticket for the wrong day and attempted to scan it at the barriers. I see Labour have announced that rail prices are frozen; I cannot help but feel that the two are related

Today, I was sat with three delightful young men who were sharing magic mushrooms. One of them is leaving the country tomorrow and he was so grateful to get to see a match at the CBS. When Torp scored, he started screaming THIS IS SUCH A POWERFUL MOMENT and I'M SO GRATEFUL TO BE ALIVE

One of the lasting consequences of lockdown I am unable to move past is the scores of people who unwittingly broke gathering rules, and as a result got fines they're still paying off and permanent criminal records.

Remember how Boris Johnson was skipping COBRA meetings in the leadup to COVID arriving in the UK because he had a book deadline to meet?

There is no force on heaven or earth that could possibly convince me that "qualitative" is a real world
Have you ever typed a word and thought to yourself that shouldn't even be a word or that word don't look right?
