A particular episode was one where a man had a machine that could let him hear the screams of plants as he cut them. He took an axe to a tree and he heard it groan through earphones. Tales of the Unexpected ? Or maybe Hammer House of Horror ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loooked at all the episodes and nothing matches. The man had some little snowdrops and he could here them squeal when he cut their heads off and i think when he chopped the tree a branch fell off and smashed his machine. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I was about to say Tales of the Unexpected - I downloaded all the episodes a while back and went on a nostalgic journey back to childhood. It's remarkably shite and Roald Dahl was an absolute ghoul. I wouldn't have left him alone with my dog for two minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 It was Tales of the Unexpected. Does anyone understand a word of the Bitcoin thread? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the site had been hacked again and it was just being pelted with random words. I'm still laughing at the discussion about Bored Ape brand, whatever that is, though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weirdest episodes are the ones where there's a staggeringly obvious "twist" coming right from the start, but they play it as though you couldn't possibly have seen it coming 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then a burning coal fell out of the fireplace and set light to the room. Speaking of Roald Dahl, his granddaughter Sophie tried to start a crowdfunding to raise money to preserve the shed where he did his writing for the nation. It was pointed out that she was a writer and former fashion model who wasn't short of a bob or two and didn't need to scrounge cash off others. The crowdfunding was quietly dropped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found it After watching those intros, you wouldn't be surprised to find out that Dahl was a jobby-munching budgie strangler, and I don't think it was an act. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick_BCFC Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Hi guys, Anyone ever had issues getting back into their Facebook account? I was randomly kicked out and couldn’t remember my password. The email I signed up with no longer exists and neither does the phone number so registered with. I did manage to link it to my new email address and change the password but it’s now asking me about a two way authentication code to get back in. I thought I’d got around that by having them email me and they then said I needed to upload some ID, which made sense so they could tell it was me. Anyway, it won’t let me submit my ID now! Comes up with an error message saying I can’t use that feature. Am I best just fucking it off!? Or can you contact Facebook some other way like via email? I can’t seem to find an address. I wouldn’t be that bothered for losing it but one of the pages to my band is attached to my account so would be disappointed to lose that. Any help appreciated! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
