Haven’t seen it. Unlikely to any time soon as I’m in the dark ages and don’t actually have Netflix.

Presumably most have watched Birdbox at this point? What did people think?

Havent watched it but plan on watching when I'm back home next month. I'll avoid this thread for a bit I guess.

I’m also not techie enough to figure out ways around that.

Have netflix, haven't seen it. I'm about 2 or 3 years behind on my media consumption generally (Still on series 1 of Preacher, Ozark, Luke Cage) unless it's on BBC, in which case I'm either up to date or missed it and don't have iPlayer, or it's on RTE in which case bizarrely I'm right up to speed. Which reminds me.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers has destroyed Vikings. I mean, it was in the toilet after Season 3 and 4 but Alex Høgh lifted it a little, like a narwhal horn and butterfly wings on a steaming turd, and in season 5 he took flight. Then JRM showed up, with his 1990s wallstreet haircut and his "little boy trying to be batman" voice, stinking up every scene he's even mentioned in... and he's mentioned in it a lot, I assume it's cheaper to film him whining gutturally in a field somewhere than pay royalties on stock footage of fjords or english river inlets.... Damnit, you made watching Lagertha a chore! You made being a warrior priest worse than being a regular priest! You blackened the rep of the goatee, JRM! For shame!

If you have young kids, this works great at bed time. From outside their room, you say "Knock knock"
"Who's there?"
"Ivar!"
"Ivar who?"
then you drag yourself in on your knuckles with ketchup all over your face screaming "IVAR DE BON-LESS!!!" and laugh like a loon.

They'll sleep like babies
(i.e. they wake up screaming every 2 hours covered in piss and ****).

I gave up on Vikings a few seasons ago. I didn’t even know JRM was in it.

Lough Tay up the wicklow mountains more like.

Ah I know, sure it's filmed in my boss's back garden, but I'm just saying for a small fee they could just get some scenery shots from the 50s rather than have that gob****e running around grunting "spirito santé" to prove he's a priest while trying to bone/kill (that's not always an either/or, either) everything that moves. It's like he thinks he's auditioning for some kind of c-list straight-to-humble video game. Anyway, that's enough about Vikings. Hows yerself?

Necro

Currently in the Twelve Pins pub in London having a few before the match tonight.

Getting excited now and I.....


Neutral Response: Hope for a very entertaining and competitive game between two good sides.

Fan Response: We're gonna smash those Mancs! Come on you Gooners...

Uh oh my split personality is kicking in....

Baggly

Hope you enjoy the game necro!

Hope you enjoy the pints necro and all the stuff pre and post the game :P

Sorry could resist.

Apart from the result did you enjoy seeing a match at the emirates?

One of the worst days of my life was having to step inside the Arsenal shop at Highbury to buy a babygrow. I couldn’t say no as I worked on the Holloway Rd.

Ages I was in that place. Waiting for them to finish serving Patsy fecking Palmer who was intent on buying everything!

I get chills even thinking about it now.

Yeah was great to get to a game there, view I had was amazing, might share a few photos when I get back tomorrow.

Ah well, that's another tick on my bucket list anyways:
Man United VS Arsenal game: done it!

Would you like to be more specific, this being the "most efficient way to do your A's" thread, i'm not sure if you have give enough info to make assumptions.

Banjo

Thought he said Crossfire, not Quick fire. That would have been awesome on a forum. Two people posting "BALLBEARING!" at eachother about three thousand times till one of them is declared the winner.

fixXxer

Not really expecting anything! More a sigh of resignation that most of our patients wont be coming in. There will be plenty of paperwork to catch up on I suppose.

FORUM GAMES! I need your help!


So my mam is 60 this weekend. She hates parties but is having a party anyway. She's decided that she'd like to try play the Lyrics Board with the family during the 'Not' party. I've volunteered to run it.



So, can anyone think of clever lyrics I can use for the game? Nothing too complicated, but also not so difficult that no one will get it. So confined to popular songs of the last 60 years. There'll be a wide range of ages at this so I'm thinking like, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Queen, Britney Spears, Oasis, Abba. That sort of stuff.



Eg:
I SEE A RED DOOR AND I WANT IT PAINTED BLACK


My main problem is that the lyrics need to be general enough that the teams can think of other songs with the word in it.

Triceratops Ballet

You just need lines from songs?

Mollyb60

Yeah but lines that aren't so obscure that the teams wouldn't be able to guess the song, and also equally not so obvious that they'd get it instantly.

Necro

Oops I Did It Again? :P

Nobody Knows The Way It's Gonna Be

Wanna Live, I Don't Wanna Die

If You Change Your Mind I'm The First In Line

Off the top of my head....

Necro

Oooh

Give Me A Sign
