Randomness

In Chemistry at school I tested a sample of every experiment result by putting it on the back page of my exercise book. Generally most of them made the paper absorbent like blotting paper. I definitely did not lick them.

Kinda… movie, however, looks atrocious- along the lines of “change gear and then you’ll overtake the other cars” bad aka f&f sh1t

The movie will be a cringe fest for actual F1 fans. As for the haptic thing I don’t think I’ve ever watched a movie on my iPhone nor will I ever want to…

I was served a John Lewis as on Facebook for a bizarre looking decanter. Since it was odd I clicked through and it got more odd: https://www.johnlewis.com/ichendorf-mil ... p112543716



Specs:


So it has a capacity of 110ml - smaller than one of those little tonic water cans. Yet it weighs 75kg - probably reaching the limit of what a dining table can carry and certainly too heavy to lift during your meal. Having a glass inside the decanter which you can’t use it just weird anyway. WTF?

I might previously have cringed at that, having zero faith in Neeson to come anywhere close to the excellence of Neilsen. Following his sketch with Gervais however - I have upgraded my pessimism to “cautiously hopeful”.

[Beany]

Yeah, the thing to remember is that Neilsen basically went from being a Very Serious AcTOR!!! to comedy, by being able to deliver absurd lines without corpsing and keeping a dead straight face - and being surrounded by people who could do the same.

I can see Neeson being able to do that too.

Main issue with Naked Gun is going to be the writing more than anything - get that wrong and you could bring back Neilsen from the dead, in his prime and it'd still be shite.
