It was an advert for one of those first-issue-is-99p-or-whatever magazines, all about horses. Would’ve been around 2003 or something cause I remember laughing about it in PE lessons
Oh my god. I miss 2003
Man I missed this thread.
Any time I’m going to look up something, like the film. Times or the weather, I’ll say “I’ll check ceefax”
I can’t say the word ‘sausage’ (in any context) without doing this:
S A M E !
Frankly, I don’t understand how people resist the urge.
To this day I cannot let any mention of jelly pass without questioning somebody’s readiness.
For some unknown reason the tv and I sang this repeatedly for a few years but changing the words to
I fuck horses More than other animals I fuck horses With my friends
Still occasionally do.
Yes, we are weird…
On the subject of Sausages, most of the time i say ‘Sausages’ like that dog off That’s Life
Don’t know how much of a big trivia fact it is that Adam Curtis worked on this
That is quality trivia. In what capacity?
I knew he worked on That’s Life as his first job for the BBC (I think as a journalist / researcher / maybe director?) but it was, I think his Talkhouse interview with Tim Heidecker where (iirc) he directly references working on the sausages dog piece
Rome wasn’t built in a day
"The dog could say ‘sausages’…
“… but this was just a fantasy, concocted by a technocracy that had become too comfortable and had stopped envisioning the future…”
“…As part of a failed attempt by situationists to challenge capitalism’s increasingly commodified concept of pet ownership…”
Blast your eyes!
“Come back on ELO and carry on playing” is a good one
My dad paraphrased it to me straight after I played my set at the Dis State gig, too
On a tangential outdated ELO reference subject: it’s not yet come up in real life, but if I ever end up in a chat with folk about the biggest stadium bands in the world I’m inevitably going to say “R. E. O. Speedwagon” and feel silly when everybody looks at me funny…
and now I realise my reply wasn’t a tangential reference because I’m rewatching IAP1 this weekend and just re-watched what you said and feel like I’ve failed my own generation of referencings…
(I should note that R. E… O. Speedwagon is also another favourite quote of mine)
