If you've got one of those touch-to-pay bank cards like (say) Barclays have then you can't touch your Oyster through your wallet because they interfere with each other. And if you're going to have to get your card out of your wallet to touch in/out, might as well have it easier to hand in its own mini-wallet. It's a hard life.

I reckon we could find a forum equivalent for each of them...

Farewell, sweet Immigrant Vans, we knew ye not well

People who constantly mispronounce things despite hearing them being pronounced correctly around them all the time.

Midnight is a perfectly normal time to make veggie moussaka, right? Turned out nice enough, anyway! (Excuse the Instagram framing.)

Only since quite recently and it rarely seems to be enforced, but yeah, it is.

MOTD will be available on iPlayer from midnight tonight - the Beeb tweaked the rights deal a bit this season to get that concession.

Thank you; you've eloquently rephrased the "FUCKGRHRFHHFHCFFREDDYMERCURYCUNT!" which was the best I could come up with at the time.

Still going strong(ish), he's enjoying a bit of a resurgence in the Belgian league though he doesn't always get a start for Iceland.

His career has indeed Finnished.

Yeah, we finally watched it a few weeks ago, very much the same reaction here. Would probably have been fuming at the ending if I'd been watching it "live". The Mogwai soundtrack is on Spotify and is awesome, though the best track used in the series - "We're No Here" - is from a different album of theirs. Rawk and roll.
