Beefy's Corner - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

Oh god, Cheryl's great. I'm only at episode, like, 10 of the second series (the Family Fortunes scene was just incredible) but she's possibly my favourite character after Archer. The constant degrading of Pam by everybody is like their answer to Family Guy's Meg jokes, but actually consistently funny.

 

Oh you haven't heard?

 

No. I saw Michael Owen fall over a leg while wearing a red shirt, in 2002, but he did that a lot back then.

 

Is that the one where he has cancer? Might watch that one again as it's one of my favourites.

"Hmm...cock-flavoured spit? Well you never know what's gonna be on the board. Let me see cock-flavoured spit!"

 

I think we all aspire to be like Archer...

 

Jesus Christ with the double posts.

 

Just had a spate of them myself. Ask me delete them if you see I'm around the place.

 

I have no idea what you're talking about.

 

After a long pause after finishing series 2 I think it's about time to carry on with Archer - it has never disappointed, and whoever said that it improved once the secondary characters did also is absolutely spot on.

Also not sure if it's been mentioned but kudos to WGS last night, top guy.

 

Looking forward to Game of Thrones on Monday night. That was a cracking episode on Monday. Series 4 is to start filming in the next couple of weeks.

 

Watched the rerun of Mauricio and Owen a couple of weeks ago...what a dive!

 

The big question I suppose, is will this forum ever manage to get the PL clubs listed in alphabetical order?

 

I'm looking forward to.... the Voice? Actually, I'm not. Jessie J annoys me and during her auditions her sole pitch was: I'm a woman, you're a woman, join me and let's make this programme a gender issue when it's clearly not. What numpty. And 90% of her songs are rubbish too.

 

I watched The Voice last night (recorded I hasten to add so I could fast forward through most of the guff). There's no doubt they can all sing, but I scarcely enjoyed one song...song picks by the judges are very dodgy. I suspect that when you've been in the music business a while you develop contempt for anything with a catchy beat or memorable lyrics.

 

I was round my sisters last night and she made me watch the voice. Jessie J is incredibly annoying. Hate all the stories and ****e on programs like that too. Enjoyed some of the songs, but would never watch it out of choice. My favourite last night was the rock type guy with long hair singing radioactive, probably because I love that song.

 

Never watch a programme like that live (at least not without a sick bag). Record and just listen to the acts. Same for BGT (except for that, you can whizz through some of the acts as well). I once condensed a BGT episode down to 12 min by only watching the best bits

 

12 minutes, that much?!

To be fair, there can be some good singers on the Voice, e.g. Bo Bruce, but the format's a bit dodgy. After the auditions it gets a bit dull. The sing off is basically who can scream the loudest and in the live shows they get voted off so quickly that you barely have time to develop a connection with any particular singer. Though why was it on a Friday? :S

 

Because the BGT Final is tonight.

 

Not really watched much of that. Are there any acts that aren't musicians/dancers?

 

Not watched much myself. Couple of decent singers. Set of cute kids dancing who may win, but really, really shouldn't. A boy comic who is good for his age and may grow up to be a comedian with decent material, but all nonprofessional comics make me cringe. Likely winners are a group of shadow actors from Croatia (?) who are brilliant and should be seen.
