what I have learned today.

[Basil]

That there is an A Team episode in which Boy George plays a major role.

[Kim]

That there is an A Team episode in which Boy George plays a major role.

I remember that one!  Some sort of booking cockup, I believe.

I assume it ends, as most things do in the A-Team universe, in an astoundingly incompetent gunfight.

[Basil]

I've never watched any A Team, but I may seek out this one to see if it amuses.

The great thing about 80s tv was that each needed just the one plot which could be reliably rolled out each episode. They'd sometimes spice things up with the recap episode of course, where they splice together clips from previous episodes with five seconds of new material that they'd found on the cutting room floor to get essentially a free episode.

[Jurek]

I've just taken delivery of a box set of all of the episodes of Strangers, a detectivvy sort of thing that ran in the 70s and 80s which, at the time, I thought was the dog's doo-dahs.
10 discs.
I managed about 15 minutes of it before deciding that it is a pile of dire shite.
Next stop for the box set is the charity shop.

[MattH]

Just had a quick look at Amazon reviews to see if I remembered it. Don't think I do, though I must have seen it. One review suggests it gets much better once it settles in, so maybe dip into one of the middle disks?

[Mr Larrington]

That was the one with Don Henderson as scruffy oik DS Bulman, no?  I rather enjoyed it back in the day.

[Jurek]

That's the one - with a Vick inhaler permanently stuck up his nez.

[Mr Larrington]

Today I are learning that Eleanor Roosevelt's maiden name was…

…

… Roosevelt.

[T42]

That's the one - with a Vick inhaler permanently stuck up his nez.

Reminds me of that bit in Les Ripoux where they spike the commissaire's inhaler with cocaine.

[Cudzoziemiec]

That there is an A Team episode in which Boy George plays a major role.

I really want to see Boy George and Mr T side by side.

[Cudzoziemiec]

That Christianity makes you eat meat. Apart from the Seventh Day Adventists.

Christianity is often regarded as a staunch opponent of veganism – after all, most Christian denominations are highly carnivorous in their dietary ethics. Many proclaim liberty to consume animal flesh as they assume animals to be a gift created for food by God.

[T42]

Gee, Martha, I'd never have guessed:

Scientists Found an Animal That Walks on Three Limbs. It’s a Parrot.

I know a better one: water's wet.

[ElyDave]

Gee, Martha, I'd never have guessed:

Scientists Found an Animal That Walks on Three Limbs. It’s a Parrot.

I know a better one: water's wet.

And one that walks on 5 - the kangaroo

That traditionally made Soy sauce takes up to four years to mature in timber barrels. A quick Google reveals 1,000 day sauce for sale.

R G Jarvis, the BR engineer who rebuilt the Southern Railway Merchant Navies into what is generally regarded as being a much less troublesome form, also worked on the design of the HST.

Meh, I reckon there's 8 year old soy sauce in the back of my kitchen cupboard.

Yes, Rog, but if it is your house, what's the chances it is mature?

It's still reading Viz and making fart noises.

Yeah but that group came in to existance when some called the end of the world twice.  Both times they were wrong.

Dpn't remember that, why not share it round here?

[rogerzilla]

You can actually buy Brawndo now.  The same firm is working on Sex Panther.

I have learned at first hand that the current weather in the Scottish Highlands is, officially, pish.

Furryboots are you then?

grantown on Spey caravan park, to be precise. On the other side of the Cairngorm national park from Brenda.

If we end up down your parts, I'll wave.
