I want to find some of the old enclothe tshirts. Iykyk

I have a bunch of them, and also just spotted Chris O'Dowd wearing one in an old episode of the IT Crowd (the Fahrenheit 451 fireman design)

An edutainment game from the 90s, a side scrolling platformer in a medieval/fantasy theme. The main things I remember are the graphics (levels were very clearly made of blocks on a grid, the player character was 2/3 blocks high as were other characters including a very upright dragon) and the jaunty walking-bassline music (at least for the first few levels in the town/village)

Every so often there was a checkpoint with a flag and you had to answer a question to pass by, maths or English or something. I don't recall the content much, just the style of the game.

It was most likely included on a CD-ROM Today disc or some other similar compilation, I definitely didn't own the full game.

"Treasure Mountain!" was one I remember from the early 90s that ticks some of those boxes:

Not it, but thanks. Definitely some similarities.

Can anyone help me figure what movie this gif is from?


It's in someone here's signature with another gif from what I assume is the same movie. I've tried to find it on my own a few times, but no luck.

Why not ask them?

Twenty years ago Channel 4 put out one of the best sit coms ever, Green Wing. My white whale is one particular song from the show, which I believe is a remix of Bran Van 3000's classic "Drinking In L.A."

You can hear the track playing in this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJt0At32ALM&t=2597s

Sadly the guy (Jonathan Whitehead aka Trellis) who composed the original music for the show passed away a few years ago, and I believe it was him who did the Bran Van 3000 remix too. But it's not on the official soundtrack (available on Spotify)

Here's a hero recreating the loop https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Amp6GKGDkL8

But I want a full version from Trellis himself!

I have a song in my head where a verse or chorus ends with 'and I like it'. Except it sounds more like a nasal 'and oi loike it'. Lurid. It clearly doesn't take itself seriously. I don't know if this was from a meme or a tv ad or if it maybe is a full blown eurovision entry or something like that. It's driving me crazy. Can't even attach a genre or other words. It's not a ballad or metal thing I guess.

I guess you already found what you were looking for but I'll never pass up the opportunity to share this
