That German grammar clip is great fun @Podicle. I will try and find some examples of Swedes imitating accents for you. One thing that fascinates me is that, thanks to YouTube and a larger number of English […]

@podicle I totally understand. For long dog walks, I can’t focus properly on non fiction and get all distracted constantly pausing and scrolling back because I missed something important while scraping dogshit off […]

What a wonderfully enjoyable and very wittily phrased question @Podicle. I am really enjoying the answers. Pronunciation is not my strong point! When I speak Swedish, I am often mistaken for a Dane who has […]

Good effort from @podicle and a spoiler attempt from @gatz The song is Live to Tell by Madonna which rather surprisingly attained the no. 48 position in Dave Marsh’s book The Heart of Rock n Soul: The 1001 […]

I agree with you, Retro. These bots are very canny. They’ve sussed that you like vintage folk music and so this was an obvious choice. I’m so sorry @Podicle. I feel your pain. I think I’d better talk to the […]

Thanks, @Podicle – I hadn’t scrolled far enough to find the Fannies!

What an hilarious comment @Podicle! That’s exactly the impression I got. Some very knowledgeable musicians who sadly had some pretty Stone Age attitudes. Some of them were probably still upset about the wrong […]

Thanks a lot @Podicle! The AW never ceases to delight me with unexpected posts like this. All these experts in our midst! Your explanation about the knee levers and the pedals were a revelation. If someone had […]

@Podicle Best of the SK film adapts just has to be another SK’s take on The Shining. What makes it such a captivating film is that rather than relying solely on the visceral shocks of King’s book, […]

You’re on the ball today @Podicle! Talk about a cue for a song! The Faces’ version was also excellent.

I think you are on to something there, @Podicle. And those songs cover a broad range of musical genres. Everything from Verdi’s La Traviata to the Police’s Roxanne. Not to mention.. funk: Labelle’s Lady […]

M.R. James and Saki! What very interesting choices @Podicle! However I can understand your concern that they might be disappointing. Both rather private individuals. To be honest, I knew little about James. […]

Interesting post, @Podicle – thanks! I like point 1 (ensemble casts) as well, though with point 3 (unique voices), a series I tuned into (Crazytown) with 3 US bros took a few episodes to distinguish the subtle […]

To return to @Podicle ‘s initial ideas Panamarenko (Belgian artist) devised this many years ago I think it makes an excellent AVN.

Lovely review, @podicle. Don’t often feel nostalgic for Brisbane, but that did the trick.

“…it becomes a bit silly having a pissing contest about how many trans/disabled people we know/are related to etc.” Who’s doing that, @Podicle?

This said everything I felt too, @podicle. Really well said. I thought it was ultimately pretty poor: many of the worst of RTD’s most typical excesses – Doctor Who plus the kitchen sink, a big bag of coke and a m […]

You’re entitled – although wrong 😜 – to think it was awful, @Podicle, but I find inclusivity a positive thing, even more so since going from being the fittest person my age I knew to disabled, literally ov […]

@Podicle On point 1 above, it was faintly ridiculous though that the Cybermen could rise from the sewers, March through St Paul’s, eliminating passers by BUT a week later the human race had collectively f […]

@Podicle Probably because they didn’t fancy their chances with the complmentary hot beverages on offer in the VIP departure lounge
