She's a good girl. I wonder if Brooker just phones Dara O'Briain and says "Dara! Guess what I'm doing!" He doesn't. He should.

His happiness is all well and good, but what about those of us who want to read a man write bad words about people on the TV? < >Seriously though, I must admit that I haven't actually read his articles in ages since he changed his focus, in much the same way I didn't really watch Newswipe regularly compared to Screenwipe.

But... but Stephen Fry just told me that everyone has asymmetric testicles.  Seriously, it's a show called Embarrassing Bodies, if you really were embarrassed then you sure as hell wouldn't take your manky knob or whatever on the telly. I don't get it.

I think the best thing that came from it is the fact that the local womens' clinic my buddy works at suddenly saw an influx of middle-aged women finally making appointments to get their prolapsed uteruses and problems with incontinence looked at, after suffering in silence for several decades (seriously, if your cervix tries to make a dash for freedom every time you cough, you have a problem that needs to be checked out). The general attitude, even among some GPs, prior to this series was "Well, you've spent 20 years popping out babies, this is what's gonna happen to your lady bits, isn't it? Best not to talk about it". And it's not exactly a popular disorder, so you don't see anybody in Holby City or Eastenders suffering from it. But finally having a nice doctor on the telly talking about how common it was, and that it could be fixed gave some ladies the confidence to finally go get it looked at. And that is a good thing, even if the programme itself is a bit surreal.

I like to think that any woman would be sensible enough to go see a doctor if her body starts turning inside out. Please let me keep hold of that fantasy

14 minutes into the new series of Merlin and we already have a shot of Arthur bare-chested. This show knows its' audience and panders to it shamelessly.

Sam was the wee manipulative turd of a boy who I don't think cried. He did put his head down on the desk and shook his shoulders a little to get his exclusion dropped.

I loving can't stand Rufus Hound, he comes across as such a oval office. ALSO I have a theory. Rufus Hound is a furry. EXHIBIT A: He changed his name to Rufus Hound. THAT IS TWO DOG NAMES EXHIBIT B: He has this tattoo of a dog doing stand up comedy on his back EXHIBIT C: I used to have another piece of evidence but I have forgotten it My friends be like shut the gently caress up wormophile but I'm all like no guys it's so true.

Does anybody else watch 'Only Connect'? I'm getting really good at the first two rounds, so-so at the connecting walls but I'm poo poo at the last round; once those vowels are gone my brain shuts down.

Irisi posted:The all time best Don't Tell The Bride episode was the one filmed just down the road from me in Kirkintilloch, which is a depressed grey ex-mining town just outside of Glasgow. loving tell me about it, I live a minutes walk from the Miners and have had the unfortunate pleasure of being in it twice in the year that I moved into my girlfriends flat here. Utter shithole. No wonder the Bride was so loving pissed at the thought of going in there for her reception, I like to think she eventually just put on a brave face and pretended she was overjoyed when she walked into it and gave her bloke a good kick in the balls when the cameras were turned off.

The last round of Only Connect is the easiest for my family. Alas they've gone on holiday for a month, so I'll stave off it until November. Being a judo Dan grade has paid off a couple of times in the first round, so maybe take that up? I will actually be watching BBC3 and the travesty of Don't Tell The Bride this week as one of my co-workers is the Groom's mother. Spoiler alert: They get married.

Yeah the no-vowels round is easy for me too, I can just read them off (also as long as I know the subject matter), there's no skill involved. It must be a neural thing, the way your brain processes language and spelling. The only time I sometimes need a second is when the missing vowel is the first letter (like say "rdvrk" for aardvark or something), then I don't automatically recognise the word. What pisses me off with Only Connect is how they try to guess with one clue. It's impossible, you will never get it. Say "next" as soon as it comes up, why are you trying to spot the connection between something and literally anything else.

I've got a couple, including one on the last show (first clue was '4th Yangtze' so I was pretty sure the fourth in the sequence would be '1st Amazon', I had no idea of the connection though) but I agree that if you're on the show you're not going to take the risk so 'next' it the second you get a chance.

Utter shithole. You moved into Kirkintilloch? Bloody hell, mate. You must really love your girlfriend. Do you still need a passport to get in and out of the town limits after dark? I find Scottish Central Belt small towns both fascinating and saddening . None of them are more than a dozen miles from either Glasgow or Edinburgh, but when you talk to the people who live there it's as if the Cities are a thousand miles away, across some wide dangerous ocean. There are people who live in Kirkintilloch who regard going into Glasgow as a once-a-year Event.

Wormophile posted:And the hypocrisy of POD! Often when a cybergoth/raver/geishapunk/general alternative dresser comes on pod will declare that they are expressing themselves with their look and will decide not to Make Them Under, whereas if you are deemed A Proper Slag you are not expressing yourself you are merely slagging it up like a right trollop and need to be wiped down ASAP. I've got a mate that dresses like a maniac. She has half a shaved head with an animal print, dreadlocks on the other side, tattoos all over, massive fleshholes in her ears. She was approached about going on the show, and they told her she wouldn't even have to have a make-under. Hoops posted:
You know the second round, where it's an order of something? I got that right from the first clue, twice. One was the picture clue, a picture of a post sunset sky, figured it was twilight, and then guessed number 4 would be breaking dawn. I forget what the other one was, but I think it pertained to something in a particular song. So it can happen.
