Why do we need Bond when we had like 12 seasons of Archer
James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

Anthony Horowitz, author of three 007 novels, says:

“You can't have him wake up in shower and saying it was all a dream."

Apparently there's a cocktail called an beericano, am American but with beer: Campari vermouth and beer.

I took it to mean espresso and beer (stout), which is pretty good but.....

This is just a coffee stout with extra steps

The only problem with these is... If all the animals are sapient, dairy products seem awkward

Over the past few years, I've frequently criticized Brian Montague for living in North Vancouver. Today I'd like to formally issue an apology.

It turns out he actually lives in Kelowna.

In the kitchens, Friar Chondrus was at their wits' end. The Foremole and his team had decided to make the biggest meadowcream pudding ever seen in Mossflower country. Flour, fruit, honey and cream everywhere!

"Celery and onion flan" is more than a little disconcerting
There was steaming hot onion and leek soup with brown wheat bread, followed by celery and onion flan. This was followed by a hefty honeyed plumcake topped with chestnut sauce. Hot mint an' comfrey tea was served, along with pale summer cider.

Love to shove Rangers and Oilers kit into the machine from The Fly and try to sell it in Vancouver
PWHL Vancouver have unveiled their inaugural season jerseys, and they’re slick.

Sticking to the same model as the Season 1 PWHL jerseys.

Didn't read HP.
Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.
