The song Kiss Me wasn't written by The Sundays but instead by an American band trying to sound like The Sundays

rollick posted:The song Kiss Me wasn't written by The Sundays but instead by an American band trying to sound like The Sundays I've never heard of the Sundays but have heard of Sixpence None the Richer. While trying to remember them, I initially got them confused with Tin Tin Out, whose only song I can remember turns out to be a cover of The Sundays. Who I still had not heard of.

He was a lazy, belligerent drunk who’d spent all his time playing bar games, refused to get a job, and would always get into fights with his wife. Sometimes he’d punch her. Real stand-up kind o’ bloke. The fries were always good tho, yeah

Walked over and got a bag of the default Cheese Fries and yeah these are decent. Half the price of everything else, decently flavorful even if the flavor is nothing special, and it seems like the kind of thing that's easy to eat at a slow pace over the course of a movie.

I don't know anything about Breaker Morant. He sounds awful. Pity he has kind of a rad-sounding name. If he was called Ole Wobbly Tom MacScuggins or something, things might be less complicated.Hyperlynx posted:It's funny how people seem to gloss over the ANZAC campaign against the Ottoman Empire being a total disaster. Gallipoli was a loving mess. 10 months of making little progress, soaking up gunfire, and then evacuating. That's interesting. The rural/remote town I've lived in for a decade now has anzac day stuff that goes with the angle of "gallipoli was a pointless disaster." Then again we have a few vietnam vets organising things; one year they included a speech about "war is bad and can leave you a shambling paranoid alcoholic wife beater" so maybe that affects the vibe somewhat.

Breaker Morant sounds like the name of a TV character played by Lee Majors in 1979

I've never heard anyone talk about ANZAC day as anything other than a memorial of how many lives were lost pointlessly in Gallipoli etc

computer game based on Andy Capp, entitled Andy Capp: The Game, was released for the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC in Europe and North America. Players had to borrow money in order to replenish Andy's alcohol supply while avoiding fights with his wife Flo and the police.

The computer video game is decent as far as I can remember. The card game is quick fun with friends. (I'm fairly certain it's based on some "real" card game but I don't know card games that much.)

Andy Capp hot fries are good. Because of this thread I tried the new fire fries out and they were ok but not as good as the regular hot fries. Cheddar fries are also not as good as hot fries. They also had onion rings and hot onion rings but I didn’t try those though they sound good too

I'm shocked to learn those snacks are any good. They always looked like the cheapest product, branded with a legacy comic I never would've even heard of if I hadn't been addicted to reading books of old newspaper comics when I was younger, I just can't believe they're worthwhile.

I remember reading Andy Capp in the daily newspaper comics page here in Australia when I was a kid, along with Fred Basset and Garfield and Snake and Footrot Flats and Hagar the Horrible.

For some reason I used to get Andy Capp and Li’l Abner mixed up Maybe it’s because the latter was by Al Capp but I don’t think that’s it, the strip ended four years before I was even born so it’s not like I ever read it. Hell, I don’t even know why I have the reference in mind in the first place.
