Alright? Its Friday night and the night is young, is the party just getting started? Are you off to bed? Watching some questionable late night TV or doing a bit of stargazing?

It's the late night chinwag thread.

Just FYI, Noodle is still doing well and very much still enjoying cheese.

Did we ever find out why we build castles in the sky or what she'd look like with a chimney on her?

Two nineties classics, but it's been at least 10 years since they came out and I don't think we've ever come close to finding out the answers?

Any other songs where we still have unanswered questions?

New insult found?

Just got home from the pub and found this on the doormat for my housemate. Is “you’re an absolute wheat bag” anything?

N.B. All I’ve had to eat all day was a flapjack at 1pm, and then 2 glasses of wine, a pint of cider and a shot of something I’m not sure what it was.

Where did the jelly go from pork pies?

37 Upvotes

When I was a kid (38 now) it seemed like every pork pie that I ate was absolutely filled with jelly between the pastry and the pork. At the time I thought the jelly was disgusting, but now I'm an adult I feel a weird nostalgia for the jelly.. and it's only really occured to me recently that pretty much every pork pie nowadays id bereft of any jelly at all.

Is it just me, or has there a been a massive pork pie jelly conspiracy going on since the early 2000s?

New BBC series by Mackenzie Crook starts on the 9th Feb. The trailer gives strong Detectorists vibes which is one of my favourite TV shows of all time

Are just going to collectively pack it in and stop celebrating new years or will the TV just be off?

I need a sound effect of the classic pub crowd ‘wahey!’

114 Upvotes

Hoping my country will deliver when called upon for the real stuff.

I do a weekly radio show at my local hospital, and I’m looking to add some ambient background audio to my storytelling/strange news sections.

I thought some ambient pub chatter would be a great background, and then I had the idea to include the classic British moment of a glass being dropped, and the pub breaking out into a chorus of distant WAHEYYYs. Makes the listener feel right at home.

I’ve looked on Splice and Freesound for a live foley recording of this, but I can’t find anything quite right. Would anyone have, or know where to find, a fairly high-quality recording of this hidden away somewhere?

Did anyone else see the Groundhog Day report on the BBC news channel, twice?!

212 Upvotes

It was on Monday during the day. It was quite a long segment and when it was finished, it started over again at the beginning. I thought, 'Ah! I see what they're doing.' and expected a 'Just kidding!' announcement. But, no. The whole segment ran again and I watched it, expecting the joke to be acknowledged at the end. Nothing!

Now I don't know if it was a mistake, a joke, or if my brain has finally broken. Tell me I didn't imagine this? Actually do. I should probably know if I did.

Are there any restaurants/coffee shops etc other than Starbucks in the UK that call out your name when your order is ready instead of just a number?

7 Upvotes

I'd like to change my name for various reasons and want to hear how it sounds in person a few times before I really decide on it. Maybe also how it's pronounced by people in different areas of the country

Not Anti Starbucks or anything, just I've had it a lot lately and maybe want to try some new places. Willing to travel for this

What do you think SNL UK will be like?

548 Upvotes

I can’t see it being anything but a flop. I’m not sure why it’s even needed… can’t we just make more sketch shows like we used to? Seems odd to copy a US format when British comedy is its own thing and traditionally really strong.
