It was a potentially good idea, but poorly executed.

"One of the worst" is a bit of a stretch. But then again we're talking about Ochre.

Quiz question:

What is the most covered song of all time?

The problem with Yesterday is it's now forever linked to one of the worst movies I've ever watched.

I remember the collective feeling in the cinema of “what the ****” when that character was revealed to be alive.

They did a good job of making Robert Carlyle look what you would imagine an aged version of him to look like, to be fair.

I’ve tried and liked it but not something i would pay a ton of money for.

My sister got me one of those viral mango ice creams a few months back and while it was good, it’s also not something I’d pay a lot of money for again.

Was at DFO yesterday and my Mrs bought a block of the Lindt variety to try it - $20. Far out it's ridiculous.

I do like the Dubai chocolate conspiracy, like the Frozen one. Google 'Dubai' and you now get stories about overpriced chocolate, instead of ones like:

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce84ezl461po

Like Googling 'Disney Frozen' you now get articles about Elsa and Anna instead of Walt Disney's cryrogenically-frozen corpse.

Getting ads for movember and the first thought is “where has the year gone?” but also while it’s a great cause most blokes aren’t getting close to those a handle bar stache or big staches they can style (in the space of a month)

As we have established, Gen Z here.

Discussing with some friends the most famous person of all time. Besides Jesus if you believe in him and perhaps including. Am I right in saying it’s Michael Jackson? Without question? Was he really as big as everyone says? It’s hard to imagine without social media but I feel like their shouts of Messi, Ronaldo, Kohli, etc probably don’t even pale in comparison to MJ?

MJ doesn't spring immediately to mind, so I wouldn't say 'without question'. What about Hitler, for example?

Yeah, I was going to say Hitler as well

Maybe Mohammad

Genghis Khan would have to rate a mention.

Michael Jordan is more enduringly popular than Michael Jackson. But Michael Jackson does have some staying power for somebody that most accept was a child molester.

There’s one campaigner that’s currently so (in)famous he’s constantly in the news for several different things at a time, and he’s so (in)famous I don’t even need to mention his name and you’ll know who I’m talking about.
