A travel day, and I've changed trains at 3 different stations, but I *think* this was Stuttgart. You might think a translation would be more relevant information for me to supply, but there's a nice irony there if you make the effort.

Aw, isn't that nice. He's always been my second favourite Miliband

Nice of you to let him spend time in you, especially if he’s only your second favourite. Most of us are too damn picky nowadays.

Looks a bit like the EM-50 Urban Assault Vehicle from Stripes.

It did feel pretty tenuous, but close enough for me, and I really like this thread so even something weak will do to keep it going.

I will admit to slight disappointment no-one has looked at a car brochure in the last decade and wondered why I've been giving every new model a score and what my criteria are.

After reminiscing with Malc last night, I was looking up some Tour of Duty actors. Stephen Caffrey, apparently:

The background

MaliA · **Posted:** Thu Nov 17, 2022 18:47

It's a step up from George Osbourne, or a "fat Jimmy Carr" I suppose.

Oh, how weird, the forum has chosen the video rather than the picture to show, so it's not as visually eye grabbing

Manually added the picture of the book

That looks interesting! Ordered!

Good luck to anyone getting "The Godhouse King of Country Dudley" in Charades this Christmas.

Alright! I'll try it (=add it to the long list) too!

Is there a name for that style of layout? I noticed it too and I find it quite annoying whenever I see it. I would like to be able to name it when I'm grumbling about it, which I plan to do in the future.

Not sure this counts as real-life, but this was a weird thing to see in my Trending list this morning.

JBR · **Joined:** 2nd Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 3061

I thought the same! I even clicked through - a few different salt of the earth Malcs, mourned through the years.

Malc · **Posted:** Wed Jan 04, 2023 13:24

Yeah, I saw that, and was a little bit discombobulated by it. I mean I shouldn't be, there must be millions of people called Malc, and some of them will die, but I was reminded of the beginning of The Terminator.

Still RIP all Malcs that have recently died I guess

Grim... · **Posted:** Wed Jan 04, 2023 16:12

This almost certainly doesn't count, but I'm catching up with Only Connect and there was a team called "Beaks" and all I could hear for the whole episode was "Beex".

GazChap · **Posted:** Wed Jan 04, 2023 16:59

Yeah, but who's to judge?
