Hey, how did you know that's what they said?
We're doing some renovation at the moment. We have a lead contractor who's managing all the trades 'cos I know nothing about construction.
Every trade we've had - electricians, bricklayers, drainage guy, plumber, carpenter, etc - come as a duo. There's a guy in his late 30s or older who does the thinking, and a kid in the late teens / early 20s who are effectively labourers and lift, push, carry, drill, dig, etc. The life of the senior guy in the pair seems to be pretty good and you know they're well paid. The kids are learning, and in 10 years time will have their own labourer.
“watching people create drama”
Same reason soap operas are popular and why wrestling used to be huge (maybe wrestling still is huge, but I don't feel like I hear about it as much).
People like drama. That it's contrived doesn't matter, it's still drama.
You can tell it's a shit race when the coverage is mostly showing people in 14th-18th position. Normally I like Spa, and I like wet GPs because they're unpredictable. But this was a procession. Not as bad as Monaco, but nearly.
Easy. Type G. For safety. If you're worried about night-time attacks from ninja you can leave a few plugs by your bedroom door and windows with the pins upward. They will rue the day they entered that room in the dark!
To be fair, that's only 52% of those who voted. The others are more: "Moo, my dear chap, moo!"
what is the point of me seeing more detail in TV than in real life?
It'll be bigger than my brother-in-law's TV.
They're so good, so flavourful. Love them.
Best I've cooked: Oklahoma onion burgers
Best I've bought: green chilli burger from Meat Liquor Covent Garden though sadly they don't seem to have that location any more and the green chilli burger is no longer on their menu!
"No, ma'am, we're musicians."
It's inevitable. Eventually we will be able to ask for, and then refine, the perfect TV show for our particular tastes. Want 'Buffy' but set in the Fallout universe with Dumbledore and Boromir? Give it a minute and you'll have it.
