fiscal responsibility for a governmental organisation is stuff like "don't spend hundreds of millions on a garden bridge that never happens" rather than "oh we can't spend that much on an essential service because it will look bad to old cunts who don't know how a national budget works" e; The 29th dimension is the highest dimension for compact hyperbolic Coxeter polytopes that are bounded by a fundamental polyhedron, and the highest dimension that holds arithmetic discrete groups of reflections with noncompact unbounded fundamental polyhedra.

It's ridiculous how we're conned by this fiscal responsibility bullshit.

Thank goodness! I've been worrying about the 30th dimension for weeks now  A polytope P in X = Sd, IEd or IHd is called a Coxeter polytope if all dihedral angles of P are integer submultiples of . <- that there is a Pi not rendered correctly. I knew there was a reason that I didn't classify myself as a mathematician but more of a physicist despite being just 1 course different from an Applied Maths degree! Reminds me of this: quote:Gregory: From the late great Tony Hancock, The Poetry Society episode.

There was a Wendy's in Oxford St, London in the 80s because a couple of friends & myself used to spend many a long Saturday afternoon in there scoffing square burgers. I thought they were nicer than McD but then that was 40 years ago now!

Just an unbearably smug, self-indulgent and worst of all unfunny vanity trip which had exactly one (1) memorable joke - trying to get the pointless dumbass American to pronounce "herb" properly. I wonder if anyone has put it online, in case I'm ever in a masochistic mood and want to torture myself.

Home Bargains is choc full of Friends paraphenalia, I can't understand why! Do today's kids (ie anyone under 30) even remember that show? I watched 1 episode - boring. Years ago I saw David Schwimmer doing a live TV thing where he publicly humiliated a young woman in the audience who had probably been looking forward to that evening for ages, bloody oik. It was awful. She'd written him a fan letter and he asked if she was in the audience and she was obviously thrilled until the humiliation started.

It's a show about a mythic age where people could live outside their parent's home and had free time. Of course zoomers love it.

People assure me that Seinfeld gets much better after the first 2 seasons but it'd have to, because Jerry Seinfeld doing stand-up at the beginning of episodes is the dirt worst. Observational comedy that makes Peter Kay bellowing about garlic bread seem like high art.

I had to force myself to finish the first season. The second season is a lot better, but the third season is when it becomes excellent.

Anyone who was a student 2003-2015 will have every episode of friends indelibly seared into their memory. As freeview showed the entirey of friends on E4 on rolling repeat between 3-7pm throughout that period. Other notable serieses who occupied the same slot include: scrubs, gilmore girls(later in the period), hollyoaks, the Simpsons, either some kind of trek or stargate if you were lucky). Having also worked at home bargains, their corporate strategy seems to be to buy any old container of shite if they're getting a discount. Someone had 157 pallets of friends shite they needed to get off their dock/out their warehouse. Home Bargains will happily oblige at a discount.

Jason Alexander and Julia Louis-Dreyfus are both lovely though tbf. Alexander even desperately tried to stop the Israel-Palestine conflict (we can all agree he didn't succeed, but he approached it from a humanitarian perspective as opposed to the "roll-over-Palestine-you-shits" one).

Went to see recently touring again punk band Algernon Cadwalladr tonight and ended up mentioning this thread/the forums to the mate I went with. Was quite difficult to explain but in trying to do so (including mentioning goonfund and Camrath's lovely fudge) really realised what a lovely and rare little community we have here. Hope you're all doing okay. (also i cant wait for my fudge) E: Seinfeld is 10x better than friends but Curb Your Enthusiasm is 10x better than Seinfeld. It's a crime it's not better loved in the UK cos it's a reasonably rare example of American TV really doing quite typically awkward British humour really, really well. Larry David's always an rear end in a top hat, but I reckon about 60% of the time he's absolutely right. Jakabite fucked around with this message at 02:50 on Jun 14, 2023 |

It's largely this, there was some kind of anniversary of that show within the last year or so (I vaguely remember stupid tweets of "you can't make this anymore" and "the woke kids won't watch it anymore"), and now someone wants rid of the unsold excess off out to home bargains and b&m myself now actually, maybe aldi and farmfoods too, really push the boat out probably won't get any friends merch though, that show liked to punch down
