Maybe an interviewer could ask Britain's Sweetheart Nadine Dorries what newspapers and magazines she reads. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16VRD4Qt4y0 Only Kindness fucked around with this message at 14:38 on Feb 5, 2022 |

Nadine is right. From 1995 to 2012 I just sat infront of a blank screen, waiting for something-anything- to happen.

Bobby Deluxe posted:I remember having access to the internet in college in the late 90s and at home early-mid 2000s, so even in the sense of the broader population most people have had it for going on 20 years now. Although it'd make perfect sense that by 'we' she means either 'my household' or possibly 'the conservative party.' We got it at work in the early-mid 90s (well email anyway!). I was feeling 'left behind' by the mid 90s and got a home computer with... WINDOWS (was DOS before that) and my first home internet (33kb!! upgraded to 56kb a few months later) in 1997 (literally one week before Princess Di died) also had a tv card in it as I hadn't had a tv for several years. I had a windows pc at work before that but they wouldn't let me have a mouse because 'only people playing games need a mouse' so the whole value of a GUI interface passed me by for a couple of years as I still did everything by command line and keyboard shortcuts.

In fact there was a bit of the ceremony where Tim Berners-Lee was unveiled with fanfare as the inventor of the Web. Nadine must have seen that and thought it was actually him switching it on.

Some of Jam did age poorly but some of the shocking moments are still really funny. Like the baby plumbing. Because it's not really laughing at dead babies, it's about grief & how hard it can be to accept the loss of kid. I dunno though. I still think Jam is great because yeah, it definitely pushes the boundaries of good taste but it's never doing it while punching down really.

See that's how you can tell it's written by a bunch of Geordies who, if they ever entered London, would explode like one of those angler fish bought to the surface. For a start "mek" is loving Manc bollocks, all vowel sounds become flat As in the (Mark) Noble Tongue. Even more unforgivably he true Cockney would *never* bowlderise, or even shorten, "British". Note that there's no rhyming slang for "British", "Kray Twins", "Queen Mum" or even "Canning Town", as these are the things most beloved to the Cockney Heart. (Also "barbarbaric"? You think we're all elephants?)

Apropos of nothing I just remembered that a long time back, when I worked behind the deli counter at the Cambridge Sainsbury's, I was cutting a bit of cheese for someone when the wire snapped and lashed back across my hand. It wasn't a serious injury but it split the skin and blood went everywhere, and in the moment when I was standing frozen, trying to work out what to do first, the customer - 50s-ish white lady, of course - said angrily "I hope you're not going to sell me that bit!" She was not joking. It was all I could do not to tell her that in that moment I really wasn't loving concerned with her cheese. I never want to work in any kind of food service again. People are horrible.

Goldskull posted:Not been in the Bells in years, I used to live 5 mins away from it. What did they do to it? (Guessing ripped out all the old tiles) They've kept the tiled mural at least, but gutted the rest of the interior - all the old etched glass and paneling is gone, they've ripped out the old gas mantles and replaced them with fake chandeliers, put in a completely pointless island bar, and they've distressed the brasses and woodwork, and slapped up some new tiling that looks like it's from a pie and mash shop. It's an impulse I've never understood with the gentrifiers, they rip out actual authentic Victorian fixtures and fittings and replace them with a pastiche of what was once there that suggests they just got pissed and tried to remember what the place once looked like. Like at least the Commercial had a design brief that made sense (make it look like a squat - still outrageous vandalism on what was once a really nice pub, but you know, that was what Tarquin had in mind so gently caress it), the Bells literally just tried to badly copy what they'd ripped out.
