A friend and I once tried to do Sure Shot by the Beastie Boys. 2 people, neither of whom are a rapper, attempting to overlap on a fast-paced song written for 3 was an interesting approach…

(or, in the US, a corn maze instead)

Wouldn’t it be a corn maize? :-)

Thanks for the reminder, I really must change my bookmarks to this, such a simple change.

Not viable for the mobile app of course, but even having the browser sorted would be a start.

Heaven would be somewhere that you can just do all the things you ever wanted to, with no restrictions on time or capability.

Want to know the answer to every mystery or conspiracy theory? Done.

Want to watch and savour every and any great old movie, with the full cinema experience? Not a problem.

Want to be a rock star, or a DJ, or a classical pianist? You are.

Want to be able to relive great moments from your life, happy times with your kids or your friends or your parents? It’s all just there for you whenever.

And there’s no boredom, and there’s no sadness, and there’s no rivalry. Just endless happy times.

Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace, with Catch-22 a very close second.

There’s a great video on YouTube where some of the relevant scenes from the original, Zero Hour, are played alongside their equivalents in Airplane!. Some of it is basically word for word the same. Will try and find it and add as an edit…

Turns out there are lots of such videos! Not sure if this is the one I saw or not, but it’s very similar, if not, https://youtu.be/8-v2BHNBVCs

Just to add to the terror, measles can strip away previously held immunities. Had chicken pox as a child? If you get (and survive) measles you might get chicken pox again!

Get vaccinated, folks!

Ah, I never knew what that piece was. It’s fantastic though, a perfect fit along with all of Badalamenti and Lynch’s music.

My particular favourite is the weird drone of The Pink Room, turned up loud, but it’s all good!

A few that spring to mind…

Vertigo
Psycho
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
Mulholland Drive
All 3 LOTR films
Star Wars OT
Indiana Jones (especially Raiders)
The Sweet Smell of Success

That’s a shame, he’s cutting off his ears to spite his brain. Ah well.

Would that also make Frank Sinatra a failure?

What a bizarre line of thinking.

I’m exactly the same as you, I never got round to it at the time, finally did and couldn’t see a problem with it at all tbh.

I thought the final couple of seasons were excellent in fact.

Ha, good answer 😁

What about those aged 41-60? ;-)

Or possibly just the exact same kick-ass day.

What do you regard as “decent”? A million pounds will buy you a lot of very nice houses.

The Scottish Full English

Aka the Full Scottish :-)

Magnet.

It’s widely used in Fife and possibly north of that. Don’t think it’s common in Glasgow or Edinburgh though.

It gives us the saying, “It’s a braw, bricht, moonlicht, nicht” :-)

EDIT: Apparently it’s from the French, brave, but the Swedish similarity is noted too :-)

Re Skitbra, does that mean that “bra” is “good”?

I ask because in parts of Scotland there’s the word “braw”, which has the same meaning. Wonder if there’s a connection there.
