Loyd Grossman no longer presents Masterchef - and hasn't for fucking ages.

Pirates didn't wear eye patches because they'd all lost eyeballs in cutlass fights. They wore them to keep one eye permanently adjusted to darkness, so that when they went into the gloom below deck, they could simply swap the patch with the other eye and instantly see what they were doing (such as losing an eyeball in a cutlass fight).

He's not been there since they subtly changed the format from something you could enjoy watching into just another reality TV shite.

Pirates actually wore eye patches? I call bollocks on that either way - surely it would be better to keep your depth perception on a rolling ship's deck and to just light a lantern below deck.

A nursery friend of my 4 yo DS is having a pirate themed birthday party. I'm planning to decline the invite as I don't think it's appropriate for little children, or anyone for that matter, to dress up as a pirate - it's glorifying and sentimentalising criminal men who raped, robbed and murdered.

FFS, piracy used to carry the death penalty until recently! You wouldn't let your child go to a Nazi themed party - I can't see much difference!.

There's 123 Wetherspoons in London.

Wrong thread, I presume? (Should be in the desolation thread.)

Brazil nuts are HIGHLY RADIOACTIVE!!!! :-o

Compared to other foods, maybe, but hardly life-threatening doses. I'd be more worried about the levels of selenium.

'Bread' is short for 'Breadometer', a device used for measuring bread.

The farmer from Withnail and I is Lynn's boyfriend in I'm Alan Partridge series 2. Lots of us a huge fans of both things but didn't realise it was the same actor.

I thought general consensus was negative on the second season of Withnail and I?

wondered if it was something like that. I haven't seen withnail yet but it's seen so hyped up to me over time I can only imagine disappointment awaits, the clips I have seen look a bit tedious too, shame really.

I just learned there was a 3rd Crocodile Dundee film made in 2001 called "Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles".  They kept that one quiet, I'd never heard of it until now.

I think Paul used the slight peak in interest caused by his appearance in the opening (or closing) ceremony of the Sydney Olympics to get it made.
