Yes!!! Me too!!!! I recorded it onto a VHS tape off the TV as a kid and I'm probably at a similar watch count to you. It's my favourite movie of all time.

Aliens.

Still holds up in 4K nearly 40 years on. The drop ship, the mother alien, the armoured carrier, all incredible looking.

I just learned today. Basically more right than the rightest. Kirk wasn't right enough for them.

This is the context I came to the comments for. Thank you. I knew Mandy was a solid human.

Could one of our American friends go to office depot and try to print a massive swastika and see if they refuse. Please. I will pay.

Well thanks for the explanation. People put their pronouns in for all sorts of reasons but they're all out of kindness.

How about to me?

If only they understood why they're called hydrocarbons. Might explain all that water they leave behind in the air. Alas....

Haha. Sorry! I mean I really did enjoy it. But "must watch" is a high standard.

I faced similar with Aliens (my favourite movie of all time) with my 15 year old. I deliberately didn't watch it for nearly 10 years to wait on the 4k release. Got gifted a Blu-ray player between my wife and eldest son for Christmas, had a big "Aliens night" when the disc arrived and she called it "mid" 😭

I appreciated the recommendation of something slightly obscure enough to watch it straight after your comment though for what it's worth.

Thanks. Haven't come across this one before. It's on prime for anyone interested.

Will add this to the watchlist.

Edit: Watched it just now as it's short and the house is quiet. I wouldn't have it on my must see list but it was enjoyable

Yeah it's piss poor. They shot down 4 out of 19. There's some speculation that they didn't want to reveal the location of air defence batteries but honestly it smells like ass coverage.

 

I never buy vodka but went to today and just out of curiosity checked where it's made. Well, it turns out it's made in the US in my (Irish) supermarket at least so yours may be the same.

I bought Finlandia instead.

 

Mine has a few that I can think of but I'm definitely forgetting some:

  • Snig: a secret stash. Usually of cash but it could be chocolate or whatever. Pretty sure this one is unique but I'd love to hear otherwise.
  • Sero: (seero) seriously. This one isn't unique.
  • James floody (flew-dy) ah-doody amen: Weird chant in the hope that something comes true.
  • edit: pinchies: little bit of food before it's ready. Usually meat but as I'm cooking pancakes I just gave some pinchies and it reminded me of this thread
 
 

I'll get it started. I just had Aldi noodles for the first time and they were pure shite.

So....Lidl is better for cheap noodles (the 5 pack ones are very decent at only 30c a pack in the 5 pack).

Aldi has a far better frozen section generally IMO.

 

It only appears occasionally. I have no alarms set, no timers, stopwatch etc. running.

Android phone. Searching got no joy.

Update: it was a scheduled message in signal. Didn't want to send my bestie memes too late at night. It does use the actual alarm icon though, weirdly.

Thanks everyone for your help!

And how much of a passion project is it for you?
