Merlin MannPer the very good member episode?
Yeah, it happened again this morning.
Got up too early and was very much in everyone’s way.
Liam Penton@RecDiffs did you enjoy love island all stars? It was my first season but I enjoyed rotting my brain as john put it
John Siracusa@penton I haven’t seen it yet.
Michaël@RecDiffs I always thought that the alu in UK aluminium was pronounced about the same way as alu in US aluminum… (but English is not my first language). Would never say “orientated”!

Matt Rigby@RecDiffs @hotdogsladies squaredpace ads live from the front seat?
Front seat of what?
@hotdogsladies @rigbymatt actually wait on second listen it sounds like maybe a closet. Either that or a non-glass roofed car.
Yes this is the sort of thing that brings me joy.
@rigbymatt One of these is correct.
Diggory@RecDiffs As a Brit who dabbles in software, much of my life has been spent reading the phrase ‘object oriented’ and automatically, subconsciously, thinking “that’s written wrongly, it should be ‘object orientated’. “ Obviously the opposite of John!

Parmer John is my rustic Americana band stage name
Parmerzhan.
@hotdogsladies Namaste. And Geshundeit.
@hotdogsladies If you want to mess with people, ask if they have any Par-meez-ee-yan cheese. To dust your wets.
But I lean non-rhotic on Parmesan’s 2nd syllable- Parm-eh-zhan.
I don’t warsh up either, but will sometimes drop it into speech to toy with people

Steve@RecDiffs What super fun chaps! (I’m currently watching The Crown for the 1st time-so that should probably be pronounced ’cheps’.) Sorry to repeat myself, but I love…‘Momentarily’. Which always catches me out, as its (Britacious-ified) use would be in the sentence—“Your flight on this Boeing 737 will be taking to the air momentarily, before several important components drop off and we have to land again.”
