Yeah, it’s a really interesting dynamic. I’ve worked as a stage manager so it’s very strange being a fan of a performer, but also never letting this on when you’re a colleague with (nominally) equal footing in the stage and rehearsal space. I think the main thing I always remember is my...

Ethel Merman?

I really enjoyed it and totally see the comparison to Buscemi - I actually get them confused sometimes because they’re so similar in my mind. Both terrific actors. I probably wouldn’t be quite as high on the movie as you, although I did enjoy it, and there were some genuinely funny parts like...

Sugarfoot is unreal.

Not quite the same, but I work in the arts and have become friendly with some pretty well known names - never talk shop though. Based on my experience, most of the time the last thing famous actors want to talk about is their work. If you praise their work/show deference it can change a whole...

The Holdovers (2023) - Now TV 2hr 20, 7.9 IMDB, 97% Rotten Tomatoes, multiple Oscar nominations and wins. Quite a quaint, gentle little film about a group of American boarding school kids left behind at their school over Christmas with a grumpy, old-school Classics teacher. 1970’s aesthetic is...

If anyone is curious, about £50k apiece, and if I’ve read the plans correctly there’s four of them. Probably went out to tender though so assuming it’s a bit cheaper than the book price per unit

I’ll take a point. We never seem great after international breaks

I personally don’t mind them, never buy anything except a mulled wine. I haven't been to one in many years when I went Lincoln, which was quite a nice few hours wandering around but the stalls full of overpriced tat. One thing I have noticed though, and this isn’t exclusive to Christmas...

Girlfriend thinks so :(

Some really interesting takes. I see life as about the balance of priorities. Most people’s priority is a roof their head, food, and health of themselves and their loved ones. Ultimately, it’s also about responsibility vs pleasure. I could be having more fun “doing what I feel” and going for...

And Ireland’s Number One for Wayne Henderson :lol:

When it comes to women’s football on here, we’re largely a sensible lot I think? It’s its own sport, played on a level playing field between teams of equal physical and technical ability. I enjoy having another Albion team to support, and England actually win things. On the flip side to the...

Fair enough, then I retract those four words of my post.

I’ll tell you what’s bang out of order. That a poster here can post vile antisemitic shit all night, receive multiple warnings, get banned, then just come back under a different username, break his one promise (not posting on non-sport related topics) repeatedly, and expect most of you to...

Most clubs just offer the minimum. If a stadium is over 30,000 seats, it’s 3,000 seats minimum. Stadiums under 30,000, it’s 10% minimum.

Quite right, but I’ve seen referees bottle this fairly frequently since these guidelines came into place. I think it’s because what is an attempt to play the ball can be quite subjective. If I pull a shirt to gain leverage then take the ball in the commission of the foul, it could be seen as...

Traditionally Carsley would be the one after the next appointment. It goes ambitious manager with attacking football —> relegation zone, sacked —> dinosaur to get them to 10th-15th and safe —> hover around there for a season or two —> sack manager for not kicking on; replace with ambitious...

Serious foul play and violent conduct always gets you a red card if the law is applied correctly. If it takes place in the penalty box, it’s a penalty and a red card. The “double jeopardy” guidelines were introduced to stop a red card and a penalty being given for a professional foul (pull back...

No, see above, serious foul play (what you described) or violent conduct are never exempt.
