https://i.redd.it/a6ln24sroitc1.jpeg The american ridicule of british food I always think is pretty weird. Aside from the tomato, this is pretty close to what you'd get at Denny's or whatever. It seems like it's a result of jingoism and the usual aversion of people to trying anything that's unfamil...

https://i.redd.it/a6ln24sroitc1.jpeg British people would think "where's the baked beans and toasted bread instead of fried, wtf man?!" This pescatarian would say where the fuck is my Salmon. He's away fishing with his mate Garfunkel on a bridge over troubled waters, he's too busy to serve your bre...

To be fair its real success was yet to come as it didn't go top ten in the US until early 83. It had reached a modest #30 in the UK a month or two previous to this pic. That's wild it took that long to take off in the States. I'm not sure of the exact release date in the States but it was a long cl...

Reading Festival, August1982... FB_IMG_1712683091669.jpg Very interesting. He was without a band, yet his song was riding high at the time.

I wonder, tho, if Curb's finale would have been similarly received if there hadn't been the Seinfeld reference to play off. If Seinfeld's detractors thought, "What the fuck were they doing?" we know exactly what LD is doing here, and so there's more willingness to go along. Mind you, I was fine wit...

Last Curb was funny in itself and as a conceptual fuck you to Seinfeld fans disappointed by the finale.

I found the last few seasons struggled, but this last one was quite good, and the final wrap-up a whole lot of satisfying winking. Have just finished rewatching S11 before moving onto 12. I was a bit meh about it first time around but enjoyed it more this time for some reason. Not classic Curb by a...

Final Curb was pretty good. Pretty pretty good. :cool: Ive been waiting to binge watch it.

:idea: Oppenheimer: good stuff, although if you don't like Nolan movies then three hours of a Nolan movie probably isn't advised. More tiddies than I was expecting given the subject matter. Watched the first hour of it a couple of months back and haven't gotten around to finishing it yet. Don't rec...

Probably a sign i listen to too much SRP radio, but i must have heard Year of the Cat at least a thousand times by now. It's just one of those 70s style "classics" that is never off it. I don't particularly mind it tbh, sax is good as is the acoustic guitar solo.

You are our general, aren't you! :lol: Being perfectly honest, I'd probably be more a Captain Darling type than a General Melchett, but either way, it's others who get the bullet or the PTSD ;) Don't forget that Darling finally got it in the end (we presume). Wibble :shifty: Just don't shoot Speckl...

We have them with some frequency in Seattle, and they keep threatening The Big One™ which will be 9.0 or so, which I'm terrified of and ruins my day every time I think about it. Insult to injury, you'll be at work. They say there's a 10% chance of it in the next 50 years but I still don't like thos...
