December 4, 2022 at 9:55 pm #280277 cwickhamParticipant The CD was scratched and is skipping, and “the tape got twisted” is a colloquialism. December 5, 2022 at 4:30 am #280279 RunawayTrainParticipant Ooh, floppy disks could warp, not quite the thorough definition of ‘twisted’ but close enough. My own personal imagining was of a reel of slim tape, slim enough to fit in the case. I guess there’s no reason a futuristic cassette would have to have the bump at the bottom though, so a redesigned cassette which happens to fit into what we see as a CD case could also explain it. December 5, 2022 at 5:34 am #280280 HamishParticipant Of course we do actually see them using Microcassettes in Bodyswap and they look exactly like they do today. Or rather, exactly as they did in 1989. December 5, 2022 at 9:07 am #280286 UnrumbleParticipant The CD was scratched and is skipping, and “the tape got twisted” is a colloquialism. December 5, 2022 at 9:57 am #280287 GlenTokyoParticipant Computer slug is tape too. December 5, 2022 at 10:11 am #280288 WarbodogParticipant December 5, 2022 at 10:55 am #280289 DaveParticipant December 5, 2022 at 11:34 am #280294 Jonathan CappsKeymaster haha, holy fuck December 5, 2022 at 4:51 pm #280319 clemParticipant December 6, 2022 at 10:34 pm #280362 siParticipant January 28, 2023 at 7:34 pm #281894 RunawayTrainParticipant 1422 was not “somewhere nice and safe and dull”, it was in the middle of the Hundred Years’ War (and not during one of the truces either). My history education clearly was not much better than Lister’s! January 28, 2023 at 7:50 pm #281895 Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day nowParticipant Imagine them getting back to Earth in 1421, there’s a “five minutes later” caption, and they’re all running for their lives from King Henry’s army. January 28, 2023 at 8:21 pm #281896 FormicaParticipant Imagine them getting back to Earth in 1421, then there’s a “nine years later” caption and they’re all back on Red Dwarf like nothing ever happened. January 28, 2023 at 10:40 pm #281897 RidleyParticipant Imagine them getting back to Earth in 1421, orbiting the planet from a safe distance for a bit. January 29, 2023 at 3:14 am #281902 FormicaParticipant Imagine them gettirg back to earth in 1421 but the gigabots have turned it into a massive fucking Red Dwarf January 29, 2023 at 7:58 am #281907 Quinn: Clochebusters World ChampionParticipant Imagine making love to a woman. January 29, 2023 at 8:14 am #281909 DaveParticipant Imagine there’s no heaven, no hell, and the only purpose of existence is to lead a worthwhile life. January 29, 2023 at 1:28 pm #281926 StarbuggerParticipant It’s easy if you try. January 29, 2023 at 1:37 pm #281927 Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day nowParticipant Imagine we’re all characters in a television series and we’re all about to be killed off in a final episode but it’s actually a fake-out and we were dreaming all along. January 29, 2023 at 5:10 pm #281928 MoonlightParticipant Imagine if one day we actually heard a sexy detail. January 29, 2023 at 7:12 pm #281931 Jonathan CappsKeymaster It’s easy if you try January 29, 2023 at 7:37 pm #281932 DaveParticipant January 29, 2023 at 10:24 pm #281933 FormicaParticipant February 23, 2023 at 6:04 pm #282679 MoonlightParticipant The fuck does this mean? February 23, 2023 at 7:19 pm #282681 Jonathan CappsKeymaster “NO DUELS” February 23, 2023 at 7:26 pm #282683 Flap JackParticipant I’m not very good with languages, but I’m pretty sure it means “delicious pineapple”. February 23, 2023 at 8:03 pm #282686 DaveParticipant The fuck does this mean? February 23, 2023 at 8:38 pm #282689 SmegHammerParticipant Not so much a joke but a bit that always seemed complete nonsense. Maybe you could just put it down to Series VIII madness Implying he will go far and achieve good things. But then goes on to say February 23, 2023 at 8:52 pm #282690 Ian SymesKeymaster Maybe Hollister is saying, sarcastically, one of *his* ambitions is to have someone like Rimmer looking up to him in that way. Or, he’s saying that Rimmer has become like him, because of the attempts to blackmail his way up the ranks with the confidential files, like he did in his donut boy days. February 23, 2023 at 8:53 pm #282691 cwickhamParticipant Is it meant to be a call-back to Dennis the Doughnut Boy, or would that have not been possible given the timeline of the various VIII reshoots? February 23, 2023 at 8:57 pm #282692 International DebrisParticipant The fuck does this mean? pg slot เปิดใหม่ February 24, 2023 at 7:06 am #282708 SmegHammerParticipant I refuse to believe that its a callback to Dennis the Doughnut Boy on the grounds that I don’t want to believe he would do it twice. I prefer to think of that joke as a one off, lost in time like tears in rain March 21, 2023 at 6:49 pm #283321 MoonlightParticipant I looked this up and I still don’t get it. March 21, 2023 at 7:02 pm #283322 Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day nowParticipant There’s supposed to be a lot of old people in Eastbourne? Doesn’t seem there’s much to get. March 21, 2023 at 9:09 pm #283324 RudolphParticipant Eastbourne is, or was, a popular location for the elderly to either retire to or go on holiday. Colloquially known as God’s Waiting Room. March 22, 2023 at 1:04 am #283327 International DebrisParticipant Yeah, it was sort of considered the retirement capital of the UK (or England, at least). I think that’s a lot less of a thing these days, with that whole area of the Sussex coast turning into a Brighton overspill, but at the time it was pretty much the only thing Eastbourne was known for. March 22, 2023 at 1:37 am #283328 RunawayTrainParticipant I remember a PSE teacher telling us an anecdote about when he drove the school minibus in Eastbourne and sat at a zebra crossing waiting for an interminably long line of old people to finish crossing. 20years later I have no idea why and cannot recall any of the details (it must have been the way he told it) but I found it absolutely hilarious and couldn’t stop laughing for the rest of the lesson. Anyway, that’s why I got the joke (and every time I hear that line, I enjoy the memory too). March 22, 2023 at 1:38 am #283329 MoonlightParticipant Oh, so the American version would be “no word for Florida.” March 22, 2023 at 2:07 am #283332 GlenTokyoParticipant See also: Eastbourne Zimmer frame relay team March 22, 2023 at 10:36 am #283338 Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day nowParticipant Oh, so the American version would be “no word for Florida.” Why, is Florida the old people capital? March 22, 2023 at 1:54 pm #283345 International DebrisParticipant A lot of people retire to Florida, yeah. I don’t think it would quite work in the same way, partially because it’s a state rather than a town, and it’s also known for holidays, Disney etc. March 22, 2023 at 9:29 pm #283350 MoonlightParticipant I still think you could make the same joke with “Florida” and it would instantly scan to any American. March 22, 2023 at 9:42 pm #283353 Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day nowParticipant Wouldn’t scan so well elsewhere though. Maybe that’d be the US version of the joke. March 22, 2023 at 10:06 pm #283356 DaveParticipant Maybe that’d be the US version of the joke. March 22, 2023 at 10:23 pm #283357 RidleyParticipant Wouldn’t scan so well elsewhere though. Maybe that’d be the US version of the joke. It gets mentioned in American shows plenty. March 22, 2023 at 10:56 pm #283358 Future Producer of Series IX – aaaaany day nowParticipant I guess I haven’t seen enough American TV. March 23, 2023 at 1:42 am #283360 StabbimParticipant Imagine there’s no heaven, no hell, and the only purpose of existence is to lead a worthwhile life. March 23, 2023 at 10:02 am #283368 MoonlightParticipant Wouldn’t scan so well elsewhere though. Maybe that’d be the US version of the joke. Oh, so the American version would be “no word for Florida.” You mean maybe it would the be the very thing I explicitly said it was? March 24, 2023 at 7:14 pm #283410 RidleyParticipant It gets mentioned in American shows plenty.
