Yep. I have on several occasions had dreams about my phone having been taken over by malware or similar, the homescreen being changed to be full of junk apps, and being unable to uninstall them or take back control of the phone. Not pleasant at all.
I'm not saying this is what they or other shows do, but just saying it was filmed before a live audience does not necessarily mean that it's the sound of that live audience that makes it to the broadcast product. Easy enough to add a laugh track to augment or even completely replace the sound of a live audience.
EDIT - in fact there's even a name for it - Sweetening
Hoping to see Italy play a lot better than they have so far. No evidence of it so far though pretty tame first 25 minutes.
I haven't, but I will definitely watch that, thanks! 👍
Ha ha, fair enough. I see I've met someone as stubborn as I am ;-)
Veronica Mars, Ironside, Chuck...
Arguably Fawlty Towers too?
Ha ha, fair enough, I admire your determination to make this rule stick!
Another counterpoint though - Quincy ME. Oh course you could argue that it's not all that good even with Jack Klugman's crime solving coroner.
Oh, another one - Father Ted!
I only ever saw that Royal Family video of his, and it was enough for me never to seek out any more.
RIP Martin Mull
Mull, known for his droll and esoteric comedy, dies after ‘valiant fight against a long illness’, says daughter
More sad news, as Gene Parmesan/Colonel Mustard himself passes away. RIP Martin 😞
Yeah, fair enough. It's not a joke that has aged well, certainly.
I'm not that knowledgeable on either, but if I remember rightly you also have the choice of watching the TV Show as it was broadcast in the USA or as it was broadcast in the UK (and maybe elsewhere) - the main difference being that the USA one has a laugh track added.
I may have some of the details wrong, but just FYI.
Isn't she just doing that to try and stop Steve Holt from being attracted to her mum instead of to her?
I don't think she was trying to get people to be nasty to her particularly, just trying to distract Steve.
Fife and Edinburgh councils are opening emergency voting stations now. They must be pretty worried about it if they're having to do that. What a mess.

Here you go - DAGA:
An X aong the top means don't play this string for this chord. A circle means play this string without any fingers on the frets. And obviously a numbered circle on a fret means put that finger in this spot.
It's fairly simple to do those chords (and I suck at guitar, seriously), and they sound nice.
Hope that helps and you don't chuck your guitar :-)
EDIT - just realised that that's not even how I play G or A - same fret holds but I use different fingers for them.
Biggest disappointment: 🏴 😞😞😞
That's what I thought, but really? Of all the cities in the world, the top two are 50 miles apart in central Scotland?
What does it mean by most addicted? And why are Glasgow and Edinburgh right up top?
JUMP JUMP!
The Daddy Mac'll make ya...
To Norway: An Apology
Sorry Norway. Our jammy win in Oslo robbed you of a chance to experience a major tournament. Instead, your place went to a badly organised rabble, with no urgency, no ambition and not even basic ball control.
You should have been in this tournament, and that disgraceful excuse for a Scotland team should have been languishing in 3rd or 4th. How in god's name did we beat Spain?
Sorry Norway, you deserved better.
Scotland qualification scenarios
Of limited interest, I'm sure, but I spent a bit of time working all this out, and wanted to post it before Scotland go 2 down after 5 minutes tomorrow and render it all moot...
So.
If Scotland lose to Hungary, we're out. No ifs, buts, or maybes.
If we draw then we need at least 2 out of 3 scenarios to happen in order to sneak through:
- Spain beat Albania AND Italy beat Croatia
- Turkey beat Czechia AND Portugal beat Georgia
- Denmark beat Georgia AND England beat Slovenia by 5 or more (I think)
If Scotland win against Hungary then any 2 (or more) of these scenarios gets us through
-
Spain avoid defeat to Albania (Scotland would finish better than Albania and also better than one of Croatia or Italy, regardless of their result)
-
Netherlands beat Austria (Scotland would be ahead of both Austria and Poland)
-
England avoid defeat to Slovenia (Scotland would be ahead of Slovenia and also at least one of Denmark or Serbia).
-
There's also the possibility that Slovenia hammer England (Scotland could finish better than England on goal difference and also would be ahead of at least one of Denmark or Serbia)
-
Portugal avoid defeat to Georgia (Scotland would be ahead of Georgia and also ahead of one of Turkey or Czechia)
-
Even if Georgia did win, we could beat them on GD, but we'd have to thrash Hungary, so not likely.
-
No draws on match day 3 in group E. Doesn't matter who wins, as long as two teams do.
-
Or, if there are 1 or 2 draws in group E then it comes down to goal difference, so we would have to hammer Hungary, see above.
And yes, I made a spreadsheet to work all this out... :-)
[Match Thread] Gibralter v Scotland Euro 2024 warm up friendly
Come on Scotland fans, let's get this community up and running in advance of Scotland's forthcoming run to becoming European champions!
0' - Game has just kicked off, 0-0 15' - Decent start, couple of really good chances already for Hanley and Forrest, both probably should have been buried. 30' - Scotland in control, but can't get a shot on target. HT - Same old Scotland, never scoring... 58' - GOAL! Christie slams it home after getting into a bit of a fankle with Shankland (a shankle? A fankland?) Nice ball in by Robertson too. 85' - GOAL! Adams. I didn't see it, but apparently it was a good one 👍

Scotland striker Lyndon Dykes will miss Euro 2024 after sustaining a training ground injury on Friday.
Could have done without this. Not that I rate Dykes all that highly, but we're already thin on forwards. Someone wrap Shankland up in bubble wrap!

Great timing. Unless they're thinking they might get a new manager bounce without actually appointing a new manager?

Fans’ body pledges ‘studs to the knee’ response if Game 39 plans are revived | Premier League [The Guardian]
The Football Supporters’ Association hit out at renewed talk of plans to stahge Premier League games outside England and Wales after Richard Masters had said ‘the door looks ajar’
FFS, not this bullshit again... Hopefully fan pressure can fight it off just like last time.
Feature suggestion - enable swiping between multiple photos in a post/comment
Example post: https://lemmy.world/post/14058825
I've no idea if this is technically possible at all, but on posts like the one above, where multiple images have been added, it would be really handy to be able to swipe between them as if they were in a gallery. At present it's a case of open one, close it, open the next, etc...
Same for comments, not sure if that would be different than posts.
Thanks :-)

Great news this, was such a shame to see the Filmhouse closed. So glad it's not been turned into a chain pub or something.
Blue cards to be introduced into football for sin-bins under Ifab trials [The Guardian]
Plans to introduce blue cards to send players to a sin-bin are to be unveiled by Ifab
TLDR - Blue cards will be for dissent and cynical fouls. Two blues means red. Blue plus yellow also equals red.
Weird.
Carl Weathers RIP
Carl Weathers, former NFL player turned Hollywood actor who starred as Apollo Creed in the Rocky movies, dies aged 76
Very sad news that AD regular (and of course, director of Scandalmakers), Carl Weathers, has left us. Hopefully he's already got a stew going up in heaven.
