It's always really thudding to be reminded just how much money is in the panel show circuit, it must be like winning the lottery

There is definitely an air of "this is something that happens to oiks, who need me, their superior, to keep them in line"

It is utterly fucking terrifying how quickly your life can go to hell. How you can go from comfortably affording your children to having nothing in the blink of an eye. Injury. Sickness. Redundancy. Eviction. Dismissing those who are struggling with "you shouldn't have had children" is monstrous

My first job out of university was at a primary school and let me tell you, that shit will radicalise you. You will meet all sorts of families in all sorts of situations, with one thing that brings them together: All of us are closer to being on the street than being a millionaire

I am aware that the creator is a huge piece of shit, but I recall a Dilbert strip about how blissful it is to be a stupid person, and one of the reasons is that every problem has a simple solution: "If people are starving in Africa, they should move to France"

It's a miracle and deserves every single plaudit it got. Jeremy Strong in particular is absolutely astonishing

I remember watching a clip of him remonstrating with a Corbyn supporter who was saying he can't support Labour anymore shortly after Starmer was elected. He just kept yelling "yes comrade! Let's not support the opposition and keep the Tories in!" and I was like, amazing how you can pivot like this

Or when she uncritically repeated later proven false allegations that Labour staffers had assaulted Matt Hancock and his staff?

There is something truly tragic about that one on the right in the particular, the way she's so far away from the others

and thus spoke the genius: do not ever have children unless you have clairvoyant abilities and can 100% guarantee your circumstances will never change

Cats are beautiful, but also utterly fucking disgusting. One of ours used her litter tray when I was on a Teams call the other day and I almost started crying

Would you believe that... The answer is somewhere in the middle, and what's more... The true victim is me, because I was heckled a year ago?

Getting annoyed whenever I see a passenger with luggage and realising: They should be able to bring luggage on the train! I've travelled by train with luggage all over including the actual goddamned USA and it's never been a problem! Our rail system is just flaming garbage!

I can't bear it, Nikki. Having to beg and plead with some faceless bureaucrat not to fine me £75 because I accidentally chose a car park with an almost identical name to the one I parked in on an app, only to get a "I'll forgive you this time, but I hope you don't let this happen again" response

Absolute tank in the original RBY. Teaching him Earthquake was a revelation to 12 y/o me

Yeah it fucking rules. Everyone in it is great, it looks great, there's more than a few surprising twists and the central family are really well-written and performed, believable as a unit and likeable.
Tony Todd's scene was really poignant too. They let him improvise his final line 🩵

I guess that when you spend many years having the taxpayer cover every single expense, and subsidising your pints at the pub at your workplace, it's difficult to understand why taxpayer money can't just solve your every inconvenience

Steve Baker should hit the high street with his CV and greet managers with a firm handshake and direct eye contact. There's work out there for those willing to graft!

Dare I say there's always plenty of demand for warehouse workers, fruit pickers, bricklayers and plasterers! He just needs to hitch up his bootstraps and accept the world doesn't owe him a living!

Sounds like somebody didn't fix the roof while the sun was shining and should have budgeted for savings instead of wasting his money on booze, fags and sky tv!

With an air of depressing inevitability, I see that the poor girl cast as Hermione is already drawing the ire of the culture warriors
