icon_ukIn the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like. Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.
Well, how much time could I have saved had I realised that much of what has been going on could be summarised by ABC; America, Brexit and Covid-19.
the US is preparing for the inauguration of Joe Biden and we have around 24 hours left of Trump, so that's something to hold on to. Protests are apparently planned for State Capitals. Stay safe folks!
One of the Capitol rioters has been arrested and accused to stealing a laptop from Nancy Pelosi's office. Apparently shopped by a former romantic partner, just to add that TV movie twist.
The current First Lady made a final speech, but her time in the role seems to be summarised by The Guardian: During her time as first lady, [Melania] Trump focused on combatting cyberbullying through her campaign “Be Best”. Her tenure ends with her husband’s permanent suspension from Twitter “due to the risk of further incitement of violence”.
Brexiteers are starting to realise some of the big/small implications of Brexit that they had not anticipated, or outright ignored. What fun.
And Covid, well, you know you're own countires situations better than I do. I repeat the "Stay safe" from above!
A restaurant in France has become the first vegan establishment to earn a Michelin star
I saw "The Predator" in the cheap bin at the supermarket, and after starting to watch it, realised I had seen it already a year or two back and had completely forgotten every single possible thing about it. How bad does a Predator movie have to be to be FORGETTABLE? (I mean I pretty much hated AvP2 but I at least I remember why I hated it.)
I'm reaching the end of Animaniacs 2020 (I've been rationing them) and they've started to introduce new characters... Ummm... yes, well... "Starbox and Cindy" seems forgettable, but they're certainly heading towards the surrealist end of things with "The Incredible Gnome In People's Mouths" and using a lot of the imagery from Bill Bixby "The incredible Hulk".
For those in the UK, Russell T Davies has a new series starting at the end of the week: "It's a Sin", which details gay life in the UK in the 1980's and especially the horrific impact of the AIDS epidemic from that era. Not exactly fun, but it should be compulsive viewing.
Late addition - All episodes of the original "Muppet Show" from the 1970's will be available on Disney+ from February! (This includes season 4 and 5 which were never released on DVD)
Random question of the week: Favourite poem? (Be it Wordsworth or dirty limerick... or evena dirty limerick BY Wordsworth)
