Quick Oats, I'm guessing.

I just figured out that there's a link to the user control panel at the bottom of the page as well as at the top. All those years of scrolling back up to the top of the page like a chump :saddowns:

The most edible part is the heart, which is very small. The leaves do have a fleshy bit at the base that can be scraped off but a mature artichoke is, like, 80% inedible matter.

If you heat up a can in boiling water there's no way it's gonna burst, unless maybe you waaaay overdo it and get the contents inside the can boiling hard enough, but I still doubt it. Now, if "boiling a can" means putting the drat thing right on the burner (without opening it) , then yeah...

If the can's in contact with the base of the pan and the burner's on high, you can get direct heating between the metals at higher than boiling point and create a steam pressure bomb.

Just want to tag up on this and say that this is why we still have things called Last Will and Testaments. As in, "The last thing that I will (want) is that my house goes to my wife, also this is the last time I'm gonna get a chance to say something so Peter, I never liked your wives."

There also used to be an antonym 'nill' - to not want something - which is where the phrase 'willy-nilly' comes from (will ye or nill ye - something that happens whether you want it or not).

You’ll be surprised to find out that most of their early repertoire is stolen from black musicians, then.

No, but that one specifically, yes. Hence the choice of thread.

I can't explain the puppet song. But he was definitely a Tory supporter (he famously left the UK in the 90s because Labour were elected). All the references to him specifically being a Thatcherite are quotes from other people.

The puppets in that song were all taken directly from a satirical TV show called Spitting image, which was consistently anti-Reagan and anti-Thatcher.

So how is Diet Atkinson a millionaire?

Because it has no dialogue, Mr Bean can be sold in all markets and can be subsidised as deaf-friendly programming. Also he was in other shows that were popular.
