HeroesAndVillans Posted August 20 VT Supporter Share Posted August 20 Saw the title of the thread and thought of the 140th anniversary video. I watch that whenever I need a bit of a boost because it reminds me that I'm part of something much greater than myself and that there will always be a Villa match on soon. Sometimes the last part can make things worse but it hasn't been like that for a while! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeez, it was foul (and expensive). Never again. Just saw, but did not read, an Athletic article alleging that Jamie Vardy is a prodigious guzzler of Red Bull. That might explain a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colhint Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 I recently found how to make Alexa give specific answers to specific questions. I played with it with a few of our staff. It was a laugh. The female staff have all bought into it. A lot of boyfriends/ husbands are going to be told by Alexa to put the toilet seat down/ do the dishes/ take the rubbish out/ mow the lawn/ and any other things they can think of. They will be nagged at in stereo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got my Alexa step up so if I say 'Alexa, sexy time' all the light dim down, turn red, and Marvin Gaye starts playing. No woman has ever come back for a second date, so it's definitely working. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Dog Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Vicky McClure - I've only ever seen her acting in This is England, so I've no idea if she's a great actress or not, although I think she's quite highly revered. But she ticks that box, you know the one, the 'women that don't normally tick the box, but you'd probably even marry this one and you can't really explain it'. Be honest, we've all got a 'WTDNTTBBYPEMTOAYCREI' types. She's there, #1 in the list. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's a good looking woman, but she's definitely my usual bag by any stretch (if nothing else, she doesn't come across like homicidal manic). But yes, #1 in the WTDNTTBBYPEMTOAYCREI league for me. Definitely a DHUTWU contender in WTDNTTBBYPEMTOAYCREI for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tends to be a bit less effective in Line of Duty but she's definitely got talent (as you say, she was phenomenal in This is England).

I think they're given some key lines and a sort of framework for what they want to happen in the scene and let them get on with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 Wiki'd him, the only other thing I'd seen him in was fortitude (which was great until one of the worst reveals I've ever seen on TV) But did also see on there that the independent named that episode of TiE as the greatest episode of TV ever made It's up there, I'd need a lot of time to think about actual best but it's definitely a top table episode, especially for UK TV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted August 24 Share Posted August 24 I got in to the recycling centre today, without an appointment. Just decided to front it up. Drove up, the guy is sat there with his little clipboard, he’s flipping the paper back n fore and looking at the reg on my car. I wound down the window and asked if everything was ok. He said…. Yeah. So I gave him a toot and drove in. Never felt so alive. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
