I honestly don’t give a shit about any of that. On screen he comes across as the kind of guy no sensible woman would want to be in a room with alone.

This is the one I’m most in line with … I enjoyed him in the first Guardians movie the first time I watched it, but having seen more of his acting I think that was either dumb luck or great directing.

I actively avoid watching stuff with him in now, including the first Guardians movie. He gives off a bad vibe to me.

I wish that all schools were like that, everywhere.

I’m really happy to read that you had as positive an experience as realistically possible :-)

Yeah, I was surprised to be honest!

Before doing track days at Cadwell Park I used to fire up Project Cars and do a couple of laps just to remind myself of the order and camber of the corners (it’s a very complex track), but that didn’t feel realistic at all … Dirt 4 does, even though the stages aren’t real, which is ironic

Yeah, some kids need persuasion in order to eat a more varied diet, so that’s probably where the thinking comes from, but like anything if taken to extremes it becomes abusive.

Now I’m middle aged and have developed a bunch of food allergies, so I’ve been forced into picky eating :-(

Probably the weirdest thing for me was a lunch supervisor who decided I had to eat liver when that was part of lunch in the small rural primary school I went to.

It always had the texture of a rubber ball and the flavour of stale vomit. So I would be made to sit and look at it on my plate instead of going out and playing with the other kids, for about 30 minutes, once a week.

I wasn’t a picky eater (we didn’t have much money, so that was my main meal of the day, I was always hungry), that was literally the only thing I didn’t want to eat. Other kids weren’t made to eat all of their lunches.

I remember her being really angry about it and standing over me the whole time.

I’d forgotten all about hand pain from forced copy-writing, being a lefty that was a common part of my disliking school

You already know the answer to that, Sarge

While that’s true, most of them are abandoned for a reason … lack of work or water being the big two.

Thanks, unfortunately the shipping on a boxed set from the US would be brutal :-/ (and the last thing I bought direct from the US got “lost” at customs)

I’m not able to torrent stuff because I live in the middle of nowhere and use my phone for internet … the dodgy streaming sites have been a godsend TBH, since I can nibble lower res copies of things one episode at a time without the expectation of seeding :-)

Thanks for the tip, unfortunately tubi isn’t available in my country and when I’ve tried going through a proxy I’ve run into problems :-(

I’d love to watch it (I only caught a few episodes when it was first on TV), but I haven’t been able to find a cheapy DVD boxed set nor a useable copy on the dodgy streaming sites :-/
