Just a Minute recording where Ross Noble tells Nicholas Parsons about Richard Pryor setting himself alight smoking crack... Later "you'll never believe what happened to Richard Briers"

from the era when every action story had a troubled Vietnam Vet angle... and Lethal Weapon really goes for it.

One quote stands out. "It took an engineering genius to calculate the exact tilt of the huge wraparound windows to avoid revealing the camera and entire shooting crew in the reflections."
Alternately, tilt a pane and stop when the people disappear. You're welcome! 'Genius' gets a lot of overuse.

IIRC Nik Kershaw's Human Racing single came with some sort of board game thing on the back... now going to have to go home and dig through vinyl.

OH's birthday on the 13th. Same rules apply. 😀

Thanks! Duly noted. We're off there post-Xmas... I'm trying to pitch this visit to the family

but I don't think they are carcheology fans.

btw I check out Atlas Obscura before every holiday, great site.

The intensity of smoking in this is off the hook... kindergarten scene? Sparks up.

there is a story! A Porsche anorak (amongst his large, large collection of car anoraks) on a bike forum found this:

there's just something about the image, there are stories in there... the grubiness of the time, the dishevelled astrakhan coat, very Withnail.

Is there a tale about the car's story to tell do you think? @carpervert.bsky.social

Also correlates with people dropping out of the discourse, so they have to 'Go Big' with the hot takes to get any attention...

...it doesn't end well.
