Short Circuit 2 where Johnny Five refers to the bad guy car as a “Chrysler LeBaron, late model” followed by a shot where you see the back of the car very clearly badged as the equivalent Dodge Lancer.

Also this loose connector dangling down from the BMW in Ronin that I think is for front fog lights, once you notice it, it’s always there.

The original sprite artist drew a most of them using real diecast cars to the point where some even have the weird interior colours of said diecast cars.

I was a sneaky kid so here’s what I’d do - set up a Homework Forum where we help each other with questions and learning. All public view, very dull. Then a secret sub-forum only seen by pre-screened registered accounts where I’d post “down with teacher” and “maths is rubbish”.

Oh yeah the public smoking one was pretty successful overall, I wouldn’t disagree there. But I think what helped was that it didn’t ban people from the act of smoking completely (which I think would have just caused non-compliance) but pushed them outside so they got fed up of being cold and wet.

My school had a black market of selling individual cigs (and rollups). Going rate 40p each when I left. I didn’t want them because I hated the smell and I knew they destroy your lungs. It was education (and being surrounded by family members who smoked foul brands) that stopped me more than any ban.

Bans never work. I can guarantee that what will happen now is that makeshift social media networks will be created by these kids. Old-type web forums, image boards, etc. All completely unregulated and without oversight. It’s what I’d have done anyway.

I used to think Windows 98 was shitty and bloated, I refused to upgrade from Windows 95.

Manchester Airport one is a nightmare, £5 gets you 5 minutes from the second you pass the camera (not including getting past other cars and finding a spot) and they stick another £1.40 on after that. I pull up, dump all the bags out, shout “bye” and floor it to the barrier. Never paid the £1.40 yet.

Also the habit of carrying a bag of rags to wipe up and a bath towel to sit on, in case there’s a load of blood everywhere but the car can still move/steer or you need to set the handbrake etc.

I sometimes assist with recovery truck work, some being the aftermath of car crashes. Always wear a seatbelt on the basis of how many cricket ball sized impacts I’ve seen on the inside of windscreen glass. You must have to be headbutting it at some speed to do that.

If keeping all your money means you have to live in a kind of concrete version of Centre Parcs, then what’s the point of having the money?

He peaked with The Services.

Heard him on some magazine show thing lamenting that he couldn’t do his Geraldine character nowadays (as it would be considered offensive), but in reality I don’t think anyone would consider it offensive. It was just not funny or interesting or worthwhile.
