Old age. It's all downhill from here I'm afraid.....

No apologies needed! Besides, you confirmed that I was right in saying I was wrong, so that's all right
Wait until you notice the "eyebrows" acting technique, or that that Daisy woman in Normal People has only two expressions and that any time she opens her mouth she noda and shake her heads repeatedly (but at least she doesn't eyebrow-act).the purple tin wrote: »ta that US sitcoms are morphing into one big generic sitcom.
The actors all have the same cadence: Blah blah blah [brief pause] blah blah blah [canned laughter], repeat ad nauseum.
I was flicking between two sitcoms recently and different characters were all using that exact same phrasing.
Ta once you notice it you then notice it every time you watch one afterwards.0 -
I'll keep my eye(brow)s peeled for that. I actually find noticing this stuff more entertaining than the rubbish sitcom.No apologies needed! Besides, you confirmed that I was right in saying I was wrong, so that's all right

That's why I'm annoyed at myself!!! :mad:

Tis a b1tch alright New.... I do be often 'formulating' response etc in me noggin while I'm typing, without it being 'pre-planned' ...stream of consciousness, or whatever, so instead of typing , say 'their', I often type 'there'
My TA, along similar lines: Having 2 things to do eg come home with shopping, so first might be to wash us hands, and then to turn lock on door.
I might wash me hands, and then notice that the TV is turned off at the socket. I don't always knock off the power, but every now and then I do like the 'experts' say one should do. The TV gets an unfair rap, as I heard a comedian say once.... No one ever says you should plug your fridge out regularly
So wash (and dry hands) and then turn on TV = '2 things done' , and so I forget to lock door
- it's already closed alright, but I want clean hands before I twist the lock mechanism.
Happened once. I was leaving the apt the nxt day, and thought it strange that their:) was no 'give'/'resistance' when I went to turn mechanism clockwise to unlock front door before leaving :mad:0 -

I do that too but I usually catch it before I send it.
On a slightly related topic, I'm trivially annoyed that since this Covid thing came along, I've to use my laptop keyboard all the time, because I haven't been in my proper office since March which has my big monitor and keyboard that I attach to the laptop.
As a result, my big fat fingers on the small laptop keyboard is causing me to make loads of typos. :mad: There are shared desktops where I'm working now, and I had to use one briefly the other day, and it felt marvellous!! 0 -

Like any of those stupid twilight vampirey films where the two main actors just stare at each other all the time. Insert intense look etc.0 -

The Feedback or Appeal type Forums.
3 things:
*Able to link posts = x from me
* Multiquote = same
*Argue like a Lawyer = same
Waste of time to even entertain going there posting :pac:
And the inspiration for this TA
Some threads do have a very narrow 'scope' - not much 'deviation' allowed, like what's allowed in others, like broadening the original discussion.
