Part of me thinks "get another lease car, you might be dead by 68", where another part of me thinks I'm knacking my final pension.
Further to this, when do all the all men of TT think they are going to be able/afford to retire?
I've resigned myself to it not happening before 70 if I live that long/can continue to find employment.

If this was American reality TV editing then definitely, over here I'm not so sure.
Don't know the show you "guys" are talking about but Meenzer makes an interesting point about the difference between English productions and other English speaking countries reality TV shows.
When editing shows for broadcasters in Australia or the US of A, we, editors, are forced to make what the industry calls Frankengrabs, so taking pieces from various interviews/scenes, to create the story/drama that the production wants.
Next time you watch Married at first sight or some such shite, there are multiple clues to a frankengrab, it will sound slightly robotic, the inflection between words will sound wrong or there will be a lack of natural rhythmn in the sentence - sometimes you get lucky but generally you can hear them.
Visually the clues are you will see the person for only a small part of the whole time they are speaking, usually at the start, then they will cut away to reactions from others in the scene, a non-sync wide like the back of that person's head or even exteriors of where the scene is. It's manufacturing something from what is often already an extreme situation the protagonist is placed in.
If you are making the same show for an English broadcaster they don't allow frankengrabs - which is the way it should be.

Wickes vs B&Q is your Blur vs Oasis.
Never saw Oasis and only saw Blur when they were first support on the JMC Rollercoaster tour at the Brixton Academy.
Who would thunk the first band for Jesus and Mary Chain, Dinosaur Jr and My Bloody Valentine, turned out to be as successful as they were?
Mind you in 92, they'd only released Leisure and were considered shoegaze.

Do I look like Monkey Fist ffs?
I think I was about 12 when I bought it and cream can get to fuck as well, so it's not that shite.
As others have said, putting Screamadelica is just courting controversy.

A herculean effort that cost the hoodie dear, so much so it lost its next game.

Zero, nada, zilch zip.
Likewise, even though I wasn't tagged, only one and I doubt it's the one people think.

You lot forget, he was still Eddie's first choice when everyone was fit.

Scotty, just get them to give you a bionic ear to go with the jumper pack they put in your chest, you'll be right.
Maybe see if they can give you a two for one and get that strap on implant as well.
Hope it all turns out to be nothing and things right themselves.
Remember if you listen to the Jesus and Mary Chain, you won't notice the tinnitus.

Been watching at bit of the Asian Cup and the Saudis look terrible.
And their manager is? Manchini!
On this performance, that's one less for Eddie to worry about.
Klinsmann is head coach of Korean Republic as well.

It's all well and good to be excited about players going out the door but considering the team's style of play they'd want to have guaranteed replacements locked in because we cannot be selling two of the fit first-teamers in the hope of getting targets in.

For the dog lovers on here, if someone in blighty is showing Muster Dogs, it's worth a watch. Only four episodes a series and the second season has only been released here recently but an observation documentary series about training working dogs.
Looks like Muster Dogs is on Netflix for international distribution.

Every time there is an edit in the title or original post, it doesn't end well.
Hopefully Fulham can roll those red scouse cunts during the week and then they can't be arsed to turn up for Saturday's match.

Interested to see where @Ayatollah Hermione ended up with the world greatest mini golf show?
Latest season of Reacher (no not the version that Fist watches) was okay for mindless shite.
10 hours ago, Blastronaut said:Think Ive seen bits of this a while back, not through choice though. If I mind right it was mostly people who would have been considered fairly high-fuctioning "Aspergers" before the term was abandoned so it wasnt a great representation of "the spectrum" but still good to see them represented in a reality show where they were treated woth some humanity and not just mocked. Folk on the spectrum often have a really interesting perspective on things that will really challenge your own own beliefs.
I'll maybe check it out again.
For quite a few years I did some video production for a students with special needs dance group/school and I was always facinated how the students on the spectrum and a couple of them were high needs kids, they would follow the camera person and watch the flip out monitor. To the point they were transfixed by it and they lost any interest in what they were meant to be doing.
Because they suffer from such sensory overload, I wondered if there was any worth in studying whether a VR type setup of monitor goggles and noise cancelling headphones, could help ease some of the intensity for them?
Spoke to a few people about it but it didn't go anywhere.

He was good enough to take on Barcelona and nearly scored. Ditto, but for a good save, in the World Cup against Argentina.
He should probably be in league 2 in England getting 90 minutes every week.
Definitely. He is actually the perfect example of why NUFC owners should invest in a European second tier feeder club, where they can send their own players and guarantee they get both game time and development to what the club requires if they can make the step up to the top flight.

For a split second I was genuinely concerned you had me down as someone who might have a soft spot for nazi punk. That would be the last fucking thing I needed after the year we've had.
Nah, Jello got that one right and Nazi punks can fuck right off.
9 hours ago, Blastronaut said:Cardiacs reference isn't a slight fwiw. I have no evidence of this but I'd heavily wager that Tim Smith and Swervedriver most definitely got mentions on their respective late 90's albums.
No realise that, you've mentioned them before, I've not heard much but they remind me of early Split Enz.
I imagine Tim Smith enjoyed the irony that the founder of the Cardiacs died from a cardiac arrest.
As @PaddockLad will tell you, I'm a huge Swervedriver (not Screwdriver [nazi punks fuck off]) fan. I'd be interested to know what band Dunsy was in back in the day?
And dumb question, does anyone have any pornography to actually hide away any more? Isn't it just all free on the tinterweb thing?

Interestingly I don't think AI could do it successfully - the nuance of inflection and each particular person's delivery, ie how they speak, would be lost on AI.
I've seen many a producer hand off what they think is an acceptable frankengrab only for the editor to tell them to fuck off because no one speaks like that.
Now the number of dyslexic producers using ChatGPT to rewrite their crap VO scripts is another matter.
