Got my first shot this morning? Felt a bit naughty.

Matt Morrison

Shot in the dark but I don't suppose anyone wants to purchase two games from this selection? https://www.fanatical.com/en/pick-and-mix/platinum-collection-build-your-own-bundle I really want one (Train Valley 2) which I'm more than happy to pay the £3 for but can't justify for £9. Happy to pay a bit...

Thank you Gavin and Johnny. I am scared of getting into gaming as i had a brush with addiction to a game in the past.

Nothing to be ashamed of, unless it was "the game" rather than "a game". What was it?

Hello and welcome!

This might be the most desperate of all your 10 million posts.

Matt Morrison

Yeah Lingo isn't great. The format is as old as the sun though eh, no one is infringing on anyone here.

Matt Morrison

Contracted it mid-December, via Heather's school being more concerned with staying open and bums on seats than sensible measures. Am in the extremely vulnerable category due to a drug I take to control my psoriasis being an immunosuppressant (and having a comorbidite to go along with it). Isolation ...

Throwback to Scott Gillies on the show.

I do like to work with booleans.

Damn I must've been drunk. Saw you quoting that and I thought I must've made that post years ago, not last night.

Code: Select all

can you repeat that please Robbo?

If a(b+c) == ab + ac isn't it 1?

Not done maths in many years so don't remember the rules as to when you would expand the brackets.

Matt Morrison

That's sad. Never really got to know Howard other than a few cursory exchanges on C4C but "easy going nature" seems right, always struck me as someone very laid back, calm and friendly. Definitely one of the good guys.

Matt Morrison

Yeah that's fair. It's quite easy in person as you can say a lot in a simple look shared between host and contestant. A bit tougher over a Zoom call to know what people are looking at or what a look means but as long as declaring your willingness to end early isn't too obvious in a way that might af...

I'd give more weight to the opinion of your statistician who's been watching since day 1, than some dude who wasn't arsed to watch till this week.

Sure, if the program is made for statisticians and pricks.

Matt Morrison

General feedback: I don't think in this format you should ever end round early. I saw a numbers round the other day (I guess in Larsen's first game) where it was super easy and Paul just called a stop to it after 10 seconds. Tonight there was one that was obviously impossible. Whether or not the con...

I should probably say, this was a black IPA with blueberry and maple syrup in it, which should go some way to explain 1 and 3.

And well, what do you know - looked up vaccinium and apparently we're talking blueberry. Thanks Conor! Is that a word you know?

I can't get the middle one

cool page. someone add Heather's! http://wiki.apterous.org/Episode_4984

Matt Morrison

I wish I'd been on by now so I could do one with Heather. Best of luck to everyone who puts themselves forward for this, great opportunity!

Matt Morrison

I forgot to add that I ended the phone call (after telling you to phone me later on when you were able to actually physically talk) by saying something like "we all care about you Gevin, we all like your personality, we all like your opinions, we all like who are you and what you stand for, I love y...

Matt Morrison

Was walking through a train station, Gevin phoned. Sounded pretty panicked, a mix of short-breathed anger and short-breathed about-to-cry. As calmly as he could he informed me that a journalist had approached him and told him they had found out about the fact that he stole a pint of milk from a news...

Matt Morrison

Missed out Watchmen. Again, when it comes to top-level themes if you'd told me it was a "superheroes" show I would have steered clear. It was probably only the soundtrack work of Reznor and Finch that drew me in, and I'm glad it did as it was brilliant. Along with Succession probably the best 2 thin...

Avenue 5 was good fun, far from Excellent but definitely recommended for Iannucci fans. Just gone through most of The Eric Andre Show which I quite enjoyed but absolutely would not recommend to any of you. Recently finished second series of Atlanta. Kind of ambles around but perhaps all the more cha...

I hate this place. It's an absolute shit show and I barely post any more. It used to be so awesome.

Most kids are shit. You get the occasional interesting one. It's no surprise, since people of all ages generally follow the same rule.

Matt Morrison

Soya is shit. Almond is okay. Coconut is decent but I've heard it's not so good for you/the planet. Oat is very good. Cashew is nice if you can find it. Hazelnut makes everything taste like Nutella. For hot drinks, the best milk is no milk. Have you tried the hemp ? Rice milk is a more common one m...

Matt Morrison

undoubtedly it is the Barista version of Oatly. The Barista version is worth it. oat milk in general is the best for coffee in terms of smoothness (some like soy can curdle) and oat milk is also pretty much the best for the planet too This is the best one I had too. The first few sips are acceptabl...

There is only one instance of two episodes having the same R1 selection and the same R2 selection. These were episodes 153 and 154 , so it was probably a shuffling failure rather than a remarkable coincidence. And worth mentioning the two R3s were 8/9 matching. Utter madness. Someone got shuffling ...

Matt Morrison

I probably won't, but if I ever do host a Co event - and I probably won't - then I will definitely start it at number 3 or something just to freak Gevin out. Going to go the full hog and make up results for the first two events in which 50 people took part.

Matt Morrison

Especially as he probably still goes to Ceefax for his news. Because he is so old. Like Jon Corby.

Have you gone vegan now then Marc?

Great to see, thanks Fiona.

Bit of an aside, but did some Excellery last night and came up with this horrendous formula: =IF(OR(LEFT(A1,1)="A",LEFT(A1,1)="E",LEFT(A1,1)="I",LEFT(A1,1)="O",LEFT(A1,1)="U"),"V","C")&IF(OR(MID(A1, 2, 1)="A", MID(A1, 2, 1)="E", MID(A1, 2, 1)="I", MID(A1, 2, 1)="O", MID(A1, 2, 1)="U"), "V", "C")&IF...

Matt Morrison

Bowling shoes are awesome in that they are designed to help you play the game properly and reduce injury. They weren't just designed to personally annoy Gevin. (That's just a happy coincidence). They allow for a degree of sliding that regular footwear doesn't and you don't want to scuff up the thro...

Matt Morrison

Bowling alleys haven't made you use their shoes for, I dunno, a long time. You just wear your own, as you're in flats.

That said, I still get bowling shoes because they are absolutely awesome.

We've also talked about "text" a lot. I mean, I say "I fucking text you Gevin you prick". But then I am a bit common. However I don't go as far as to say "I sent you a texted", and that is a thing.

There are some fucking NAMES in this thread. And I am still bewildered that you old OLD people think "texted" sounds ok.

...they'll write (and say) "Dave Edwards' nose" rather than "Dave Edwards's nose". Even worse is when they do it with a name that ends in an s but isn't even like a plural... I found this mental.

Thanks Gevin. You made it a lot more SFW than I was planning to.

You're wrong about pizza being like other foods Gevin. I think "hot cheese and sauce sliding unexpectedly off a pizza" and "hot filling bursting out from biting into a pop tart" are literally the two go-to examples of shocking food-based burning.

Matt Morrison

There is a reasonable temperature difference between what can be eaten with your fingers versus utensils This is what I would dispute. It's all about what's too hot to put in your mouth. Your mouth is more sensitive than your hands to overly hot food. No-one find themselves in a situation where the...
