Red Tin Dave π§°Just came across the term "neurospicy" ... Twice in about half an hour.
Anyway, I now self identify as neurobland
ArakinAdding yesterday's receipts to our spreadsheet and found myself writing the entry: "Lunch (Indian)"

#GoodnessGraciousMe
And here's a classic moment from those sketches, whose final punchline still cracks me up

JdeBPI have Goodness Gracious Me to thank for the *immediate* mental image of Nina Wadia telling me how many things you can now make at home. (-:

Jasmine Mangalaseril π§Goodness Gracious Me's Jonathan Sketch (fr the 20th annivesary), with backstory.
YES -- Been there. Prior to the horrid Disney film, I kept being called Jessica, Jocelyn (& an employer's client kept calling me James).
Also have been told to change my surname to something normal to make it easier for "people". My response: "My surname means something. It's not like Smith or Braun." Well, it turns out her surname was Braun.

Quite funny seeing the same smile from β#GoodnessGraciousMeβ in ponderous sci-fi.
Devesh Dhasmana@erictopol Nice summary of variant updates (stable), predictions for near future (risky, but satisfactory outlook) and promising treatments for long COVID (metformin, vaccination). Also I just see the map of India when I see pictures of latest variants on viral structures. With all the action in the north and east, areas I know the least. To quote #GoodnessGraciousMe β¦Indian!
Elysia MachtThe time E. saw & met #BenCross, #AlexFerns, #SanjeevBhaskar, #EricLoren and #JoMartin.
Also known as e.g. #Sarek, 'That guy from #Andor, Chernobyl or Eastenders', "#GoodnessGraciousMe & Abel do for ya?" as well as human Dalek Sec and the best Doctor of them all.
Actually 2 times, bc Cross, Ferns + Bhaskar did ART the first summer. A year later Cross, Ferns, Loren + Martin were in Coyote on a Fence.
I'm so hipster I pick my fave #DoctorWho actors when I see them on stage, dontchaknow? π
ALT.
Fardels Bear@Sanjeevbhaskar You're the real Sanjeev Bhaskar! It didn't click when I shared your post. I loved #GoodnessGraciousMe both on the radio and television. And #TheKumars.
Glad you're on Mastodon. I'm sorry you fell foul of another instance. That's one of the potential problems of federation, though we don't like to talk about it round these parts. Anyway, welcome! And I hope it all works out here.
