Thoroughbred is a breed of horse, not an equivalent term to pedigree in dogs.

[Endicott]

Crikey, did not know that.

Now can we go back to that 'basement' is the roof thingy on the last page?

[Ferris]

Ryan Adams and Bryan Adams are different people.

Ryan Adams and Bryan Adams are different people.

There's a famous person called Ryan Adams, and the cancelled thread isn't a typo.

The Sean Bean "one does not simply" meme uses a still from LotR. For some reason I had always assumed it was from an interview, like this similar meme:

[Sebastian Cobb]

Glebe has just made me realise the little Asian kid in The Goonies is the little Chinese kid in Temple of Doom.

MADE him realise.

Just sounds a bit forceful if you ask me.

I'd have never realised without him.

[touchingcloth]

I'd have never realised without him.

Next you'll be telling me you didn't realise Matilda was the youngest of Mr Mrs Doubtfire's kids.

[Sebastian Cobb]

No I know who Susan Walker is.

[zomgmouse]

The slang term "swole" comes from "swollen".

Swell.

The cliquebait "dwell" stems from "Dwellyndire Borkis 8".

[Darles Chickens]

The Dandy Warhols / Andy Warhol

Fucked if I know what I thought "Dandy Warhols" were before.

But it makes me hate them even more for having such a shit name.

Jeez and I thought naming my rap/classical music fusion act Brozart was fucking terrible

[Replies From View]

It was The Beano Kandinskies I hated.

[mothman]

I've just realised I've been conflating the careers and filmographies of Michele Scarabelli and Linda Cardellini, despite their being from different generations and looking not at all alike.

Metalled roads aren't.

[Norton Canes]

Was it supposed to be a joke, in Only Fools And Horses... that Del and Rodney were brothers... but didn't look much alike..?

[Clatty McCutcheon]

Metalled roads aren't.

It's a different, secondary, meaning of the word 'metal' - "Broken stone for use in making roads"

(This is the kind of knowledge you end up having if you're a man with an extensive collection of Ordnance Survey maps and a predilection for Alan Partridge-esque wanderings).

It's a plot point that isn't addressed til late on, they're only half-brothers due to Rodders being the product of their mum's affair with Freddie the Frog.

I know that now, I just always used to picture something more like the surface of an aircraft carrier, even though I've never seen a road that looks anything like that. Maybe those temporary tracks they put out to turn fields into parking areas.

Only after trying to look him up have I now realised that BBC commissioning editor Harvey Kennedy, featured in cock piss Partridge's Nomad book, is completely fictional - I had honestly assumed all along he was a real person, albeit one featured more prominently than most of Alan's other Beeb chums. Maybe I was just confusing him with Kennedies Charles, Nigel, or John Fitzgerald?

The ball of the foot is not the part at the back that looks like a ball. That is the heel bone.
