People who call a PIN a "pin number".
Same people who refers to ATMs as ATM machine.
I do believe there is a word for this.....I think it was on Only Connect
Edit it is called RAS syndrome

tis a tautology, and yeah it was an OC round once.

This is why punctuation is good sometimes.

Matt Morrison

I like it. Especially the extra detail you've treated C4c to. Mostly I enjoy the thought of you pondering termagent and ptarmigan on your commute.

Matt Morrison

Fuck it, I'm probably down for this. It might be something we talk about for years.

Matt Morrison

what are the vegan options

Matt Morrison

I think it means best at Countdown not best full stop.

Matt Morrison

why didn't jim like this

Matt Morrison

Matt Morrison

What is your mum like

Matt Morrison

Part of the problem is probably the word "negative". That seems quite subjective when we're talking really about "tactical" picking. Any negativity can seemingly only be perceived by people other than the picker.

Matt Morrison

Unfortunate. I knew there'd be some form of Gevspergers in response to my post It's very rare for me to do anything like that. I feel misrepresented. I guess this was the "Edited". Gev still has some space to manoeuvre as you said "seen" instead of "scene". Unless this was part of the edit and you ...

can I get focal points

Matt Morrison

No, Ben. No.

Matt Morrison

Yeah me and you are going to have a wooden spoon decider match to see who is allowed to leave the group and rejoin the real world.

Matt Morrison

Previously: Announcement | Qualifying | Team Assignations and Group Stage Draw Before I carry on, I must absolutely apologise for one of the worst run tournaments ever. Sorry. Battling uphill from Day 1 I think due to starting it after the real World Cup hype had already died. Will try harder next ...

Just finished True Detective season 3. Had held off season 2 because of the poor reviews for years, but watched 2 and 3 in close succession. Thought 2 was pretty decent - it's only poor in comparison to how good season 1 was, it's not really poor at all reviewed objectively as a standalone drama. St...

How is life post-marathon guys? Back to speed?

Matt Morrison

I think he's pointing at the ref.

Anyway, am I even a Countdown person? Aw, shucks.

Matt Morrison

What time did this finish? There was nothing on the feed after Question Time (about 11:45). I was hoping to catch the end. Times are listed on Graeme's absolutely fucking awesome livecap site. I think it was about 2335 they finished (not time for another complete game, and had to get into the main ...

Matt Morrison

Haha oops. Not a good sign when you can't even spell a two-letter word. Still no idea on yours though.

Mike Springett beat me to it in the Facebook discussion, but obviously there will be a parkrun happening as well on this weekend.

Just like to let everyone know there will be a parkrun happening over the weekend for Colin 2020 too. And Colin 2022.

Matt Morrison

Is it refusing to print or showing as offline? Mine has improved to almost perfection by checking out the Window settings for auto on/off, and now I never turn the printer off myself but leave it to turn itself to low-power standby/off and then get automatically woken again by network traffic rather...

Matt Morrison

If this thread didn't exist, and Gevin thought your advice was serious and that you were a generally a honest and intelligent person, what do you think you could make him do if you told him that it would help him get a faster PB at a park run?

I will start with:
- shave his head

Matt Morrison

Is it a wireless network printer? I have one of these, and I've finally got to grips with it, but the first few weeks it was a fucking nightmare of connection issues. If it's not wireless then you're just stupid.

Matt Morrison

Glad I consider Ryan a real friend.

Matt Morrison

I think you kind of answered your question at the end there, though you started with "hard to get", which I'd read as a matter of availability and access, and ended with "a bit rubbish", which I read as a judgement on quality. I may have got both or either of those readings wrong. I've had some very...

Matt Morrison

You're definitely right that it's a thing. I don't think this is the original site (although it does look shit enough to have been going for 15-20 years) but there is http://stuffonmycat.com. That said, maybe it's not as widespread a natural impulse as it might feel as I'm sure successful blogs in t...

Matt Morrison

What generic group would you assign them to? Crisps?

Matt Morrison

I've just realised in my head I kind of count poppadoms as a bread.

Matt Morrison

But real Indians eat with their hands, with bread, or if not bread then you most definitely need rice (which surely fits with your "carbs sap my curry hole" point). So you can totally get down without the bread or rice if you're spooning, but bringing up how Indians eat doesn't work for you.

Matt Morrison

Nonsense. You only have to look at sexy truffles, which don't exist in fist-sized versions, to know you're talking shit. Some reasons why small chocolates might not exist in large form: - they are higher quality and would be too expensive for the consumer to eat in one go at a larger size - they are...

Matt Morrison

I don't think they do at all. For me, Roses/Street are much cuter, have more tradition/emotion tied to them, and, on a far more logical level of judgement, provide a lot more variety which is the whole point of these sort of boxes right?

Matt Morrison

Ah nice one Gevin. I didn't actually know this, since I spend so long in the flipping quick reply box. Dunno why it only works with the full editor.

Matt Morrison

Haha

I haven't missed chocolate this much in ages actually.

Matt Morrison

I put Galaxy Caramel top and ended up putting Malteaser bottom, but mainly because I can't remember exactly what it's like. All the others are miniatures of proper bars, whereas the Malteaser Celebration isn't a mini Malteaser. Really embarrassing spelling mistakes/comprehension errors in here. It'...

Not answering as I was prepared to rank bar mitzvahs and half-birthday parties.

Adam Curtis stuff is awesome.
Highly recommend Bitter Lake and HyperNormalisation.

Matt Morrison

Have we done early Matthew Corbett and Charlie?

Matt Morrison

The only effort I am willing to go to to convince you otherwise would be to show you the amount of money I've earned, and I feel like that is just playing into your hands. I guess we're not talking about corner kebab shops here, we're talking about big companies willing to put aside a couple of perc...

Are Colin McRae or Dirt still available? I like a good driving game, and I've not had one on my laptop for a long time (excluding emulated oldies).

Maybe the tattoo question should have its own thread because in the last twenty years or so it's becoming quite common Agree with Gevin it's not a good suggestion for this thread. Hang your head in shame. But then raise your head again because this is a great new thread. I bet there are some intere...

No wallet , although I do keep my credit / debit cards etc in a tin.

This made me chuckle since the word "although" doesn't work at all here.
