‘People are like: you’re a crackpot’: how Sam Campbell became comedy’s oddball superstar (www.theguardian.com)
 

Having enjoyed breakout fame on Taskmaster and Last One Laughing, the subversive Australian comic has been handed the reins of his own very strange sitcom. Get ready for feet animations and a character called Super-Breast …

Not keen on the others. Wanted to be in the photo though.

A Jaffa x McVities digestive biscuit with orange caramel is coming (www.goodhousekeeping.com)
 

Introducing the brand-new limited-edition Jaffa x McVitie’s Digestives. The new launch takes the classic oaty digestive biscuit we all know and love and upgrades it with an orange caramel filling and a thick coating of smooth milk chocolate. It's important to note that early reviewers are saying the flavour leans much more Jaffa Cake orange than Terry’s Chocolate Orange, which makes this collaboration feel very authentic and true to the brand.

How do I type an apostrophe and use print screen on a European Spanish keyboard? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk 4 points 1 week ago

That's a mechanical keyboard, so you should be able to map the missing keys to wherever you like.

Failing that, PrtScr is probably on Fn+P, and apostrophes will be Alt Gr+{, Alt Gr+[ or Shift+?. The first two look like they may be accent dead keys, so try Shift+? first, or follow them with a space.

What's the earliest number of this you remember seeing in real life? in c/casualuk@feddit.uk
[–] i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk 2 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe 20 or 27, some of the 40s look familiar too.

How did they get up to 120??!

Took apart my lawn mower in c/dull_mens_club@lemmy.world
[–] i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk 2 points 2 weeks ago

I've only ever owned electric mowers (actually, that shouldn't be plural - I've only ever owned one electric mower which I brought back in 2007 when I got a house with a garden). It isn't a battery one - I'm not sure they existed back then - but I will change it for one when I have to replace it as the cable's a bit annoying.

I'd actually rather leave the grass to grow but apparently it looks untidy.

Yeah, or there's something obviously broken but no obvious way to fix, or a spring pings off during disassembly and it isn't clear where it came from.

So many times I've taken things apart to "see what's wrong" to no avail.

The Bowl, new sitcom set in Norwich, has been created by pair behind Soup Productions who want to "put the city on the map."

As far as I can tell, you can't actually watch it unless you live in Norwich.

(and hasn't Alan Partridge put Norwich "on the map" already quite some time ago)

Thought the same about Lancashire Hotpot!

Carrageen pudding and Bedfordshire clangers might no longer be household staples, but some home chefs are bringing them back.

I'm sure we had a food community on feddit.uk but I can't locate it.

I haven't watched this yet but have been looking forward to it.

It's on Discovery+ for catch-up, TLC if you want to watch live.

The two comedians tour the world in search of overpriced attractions, dodgy food – and trips you really wouldn’t want to go on

The ninety-second of the melmelmel clan.

If it's a date it's more likely to be their year of birth, no?

Why NFC on phones? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm not sure if it works the same way, but Google Wallet uses a virtual card number as well as needing the phone unlocked. There a layer of obfuscation over using a contactless card, that I like.
