^ We had a regular IRC quiz during lockdown, every week there was a question about the causes of strange plane crashes. Those were 2 of them but there were many more. I don't think anyone guessed one without plenty of clues.

A few days ago I read that there was going to be a supernova some time in 2022 easily visible from Earth... and then I found out that it was an error of calculation and it isn't going to happen at all. Dammit.

Will Smith has produced a reimagining of Fresh Prince of Bel Air. I'm so conflicted about this.

The cast of the original Fresh Prince were all so iconic. It's hurting my head to try to reimagine it without them.

Will produces Cobra Kai and I'm loving that, so maybe I'll love anything.

It's said to be a grittier version of the original Fresh Prince, i'm looking forward to it personally

Cobra Kai is an excellent series.

Oh That Fresh Prince of Bel Air trailer is.... just too odd. I don't know if I'd ever be able to get the original characters and humour out of my head.

^^ it's interesting because it started life as just a mock trailer made by a fan on the internet but Will Smith saw it and decided to turn it into a real series... or so I read

That calling random strangers 'darlin' is back in fashion. I went to the shop to get a loaf of bread and in the space of ten minutes I was called darlin' four times.

"'scuse me darlin."
"No problem, darlin'."
"Are you in the queue, darlin?"
"Are you in the queue, darlin?

I seem to be a darlin that is always in the way.

I always think about the weird Byker Grove ending. I never saw it at the time, I didn't even know it was still going until 2006, I just read about it a couple of years ago:

"In the show's final episode the characters discover that they do not exist and are the creation of unseen characters known as "The Writers" who plan to conclude the show by demolishing the Grove. However numerous present and former Grove members buy enough time for the characters to re-write the ending so that the club will remain open forever, but ultimately fail to stop it being demolished."

How strange

I always think of that show's original theme tune when I read about Michael Gove.
"Michael Michael .. Michael... Gooove!"

People don’t need to like you.

I invite this is common sense but it’s hard to actually live by the phrase since lots of people crave approval.

I think I’m accepting this now and am better but still have room for improvement. The phrase also makes passive aggressive behaviour more tolerable as if people don’t need to like you it also means that people don’t define you so passive aggressive behaviour becomes more of their problem in your mind than you doing something wrong.

Yes, that's indeed true! I don't recall the name of the show, but I watched something about this around a year ago. I was completely blown away when I saw Les (well, Bruce) feature! It did shock me, that...

On a more serious note, it's certainly affected his life in the long term. I wish him nothing but the best.

That you get different scourers depending on what pots and pans you are cleaning,

If you have non-stick pans and trays and want to protect their coating you buy these different white scouring pads that are specifically for non-stick coatings,..

I've been living on my own for 27 years now and I'm only just finding this out,

Not exactly an earth shattering discovery, but I have been doing dishes for a VERY long time

There's also a larger version of the white ones, which are good for cleaning things like enamel baths, as they don't scratch the surface.
