  • Jet Lag: The Game - Stateside Scramble - Ep 4: International Women's Day

    Jump

  • I know they said ages ago that they no longer do the taskmaster-style workarounds due to the audience backlash from the likes of "touch an animal" being completed by Sam touching Ben and Adam. But I would have loved it if they'd done something like buying an inflatable dinghy and just writing "water taxi" on it.

  • Adam's complete indignation over the idea that a boat would appear within 20 minutes for so cheap might have been my favourite part of this episode.

    And it feels poetic that the first bit of luck for Sam in about 3 episodes was him and Amy successfully dying

  • My office does exactly this, it has the thermostat set as cold as it can, and the sensor is in a cooler and shadier part of our floor (where management sit I believe). The rest of us sit in a glass-paned south-facing death trap that fluctuates between 25°C and 15°C multiple times a day on any sunny days. I work from home most of the time so thank fuck I don't have to experience it during this heatwave.

  • Between the Canadian independence PSA, Amy's mini-game of trying to learn anything about Sam, Ben and Adam interrupting that couple's date on the Mississippi and Ben falling over 5 times, I think this is the best opening episode they've done for a series yet

  • Jet Lag: The Game - Taiwan Rail Rush: Finale - Debts Paid

    Jump

  • I was screaming through my screen at Sam during that whole challenge! That rock was so perfectly like a tiger's stripes I could not believe Mike's luck in finding it. Usually when Sam loses it's down to terrible luck like train delays but this time for sure it was so many late-game strategy errors.

    Jump

  • Very tight at the end...

    ...and usually I would feel bad for Sam, but he's been particularly hubristic this season so I was kind of happy to see him lose. But I'm glad we're getting a full Amy season next and she was great on the mini-season so she may well lift him to victory.

  • It was one of the most controversial parts of the Good Friday Agreement to pardon people on both sides of the fence, but deemed a sort of necessary evil to obtain peace. A lot of ex-paramilitaries ended up as taxi drivers doing tours of Belfast and a lot of our older politicians in Northern Ireland are well known to have killed people. It sucks but it's the price of peace. Derry Girls' final episode dealt with it really well. I'm from the post-GFA generation so it was hard to get my head around it growing up but the alternative is far worse.

    Tom Scott: England – These people walk towards mining disasters

  • It's a European tradition to traumatize kids.

  • It was fun growing up in the countryside and things like banshees and fairies being taken as a fact of life. I had a childhood friend that would come in to school saying she heard the banshees howling during the night and then woke up to find out a relative had died.

    There was a news report that resurfaced a few years back, accessible here, about the Housing Executive in Newry trying to get a fairy tree chopped down to build houses, and even after trying to bribe the workers with £200 no one would touch it and they had to build around it instead. And another where some builders halted work in the Mournes once they realised they were inside a fairy ring, 3 of them went on to suffer accidents that they attributed to revenge by the fairies, the foreman apologised to the fairies, and even the reporter was too worried to step inside the ring. We were told the legends too, like Tír na nÓg or Finn McCool, but I think it's amazing how much of the superstition and old mythology has persisted through the years, even after the country becoming Christian and even now as it becomes more secular.

  • Unfortunately it's very real. The author Naomi Klein has a great book about Naomi Wolf called Doppelganger, based on the fact that people keep getting the two of them confused. Her descent into the right-wing conspiracy world is quite a thing.

    Quite funny to see someone call Belfast calm and peaceful though. I'm in it quite regularly and usually just want to get out as soon as I can.
