It's an advert for Fosters, so not exactly difficult to boycott. TBH, I think I'd rather eat the chicken feet than down a pint of that piss lager.

I usually turn to other tabs while the first ads play on 4od, because one minute twenty seconds looking at something that does not immediately please me is too much. Then I hear what sounds like a child retching. 'Good,' I think. 'Time for Peep Show'. It's oddly fitting.

Surely I'm not the only person in the thread enjoying the return of Toast. I can't quite put my finger on what is so good about 'Ray loving Purchase' but looking forward to more.

Toast is really lazily written imo (just the same 4 or 5 jokes repeated ad nauseam) but the great cast saves it. If Matt Berry put as much effort into it as his bucolic prog albums it'd be a classic.

I love Toast for the dialogue, Berry's sublime delivery, and Ray bloody Purchase being absolutely everywhere. Oh and the names. Everyone has a fantastic name.

I didn't think I'd like Toast but have been really getting into it. Even when the jokes aren't that funny, Matt Berry has such great delivery that it just works.

The love I once had for Matt Berry has soured in my belly, the surreal posh foghorn schtick just doesn't do it for me any more. Did anyone watch that Adele thing? I can't decide whether it looks good or a bit weird.

Did anyone watch The Coroner? loving awful. So she's a coroner which apparently gives her all the rights and roles of a police officer, she never does an autopsy she's just handed the results, she's a god-awful mother and having a weird kind of emotional affair which everyone seems to think is just fine, and who the gently caress is Clint?? London Spy IS a bit silly, but it's ten thousand times better

David Attenborough of all people just used the word "literally" in his new show where he meant "figuratively" (something about a bird catching a fish being "literally" the devil) and now I have given up all hope. It is lost to us forever.

The OED added figuratively as an extra definition of literally in its last revision. David is on solid ground. Hopefully the definitions of literally will continue to grow until it becomes a word like Squanch (Sup' Rick and Morty fans!)

"Literally" has been used as a hyperbolic intensifying adjective since the 17th century. But it's been useful in detecting boring pedants and pseuds for at least a century. e:also, you squanch your mother with that mouth?

It is lost to us forever. It was about flying fish being chased by birds from above and fish from below. The phrase was 'between the devil and the deep blue sea', which is half literal at least. If he had said figuratively he would have been half wrong too.
