Cows have regional accents

MooooooooooooÖ

Allow us to broaden your minds for one moment. We know what you're thinking—I love cows, but I simply have to know: do they moo in different accents to one another? It is a great question, and you would be far from the first person to have posed yourself such a query. Well, the good news is here this Wednesday, May 24, as we have that very answer for you. They're chunky, lovely, and unrelenting milk machines: and now we can answer, definitively, whether #cows commoonicate (sorry) in different regional accents. Don't believe us? Well, we refer you to Exhibit A:

Exhibit A.

The Mirror was a replacement!

In A Lot To Take In, the episode exploring Julian’s death in the 1990s, the main common room shows a portrait behind them on the wall where normally, in present day, the broken mirror would be hung.

Why was it replaced with the mirror? Did they (set designers) just not want to show it broken in the 90s when Heather was able to take care of the house? An unbroken mirror would possibly be a filming nightmare.

What happened to the portrait? Did Heather pawn it to pay for the house repairs or medical bills?

And this destroys any theories that involves the Captain’s death and how the mirror broke. Unless the mirror was in a different room and was broken there. Then sometime after Julian’s death it was moved to the main room and for some unknown reason, replaced the portrait. But logically she wouldn’t replace it with something broken so it had to have been broken after 1994!

god my neighbor just called me and she’s like… is this your chicken in our driveway… like who else has a chicken in this neighborhood yes it’s my chicken… so i get over there and kylo hen is chilling in their driveway eating some specs and stuff and there’s this actual crowd of people around her and i’m like… hi sorry mb let me get her… and oh my god… they’re like do you need us to call someone?? should we get help?? how should we do this?? do you need a net? like bitch it’s a chicken not a fucking komodo dragon. so i just… i was kind of joking around so i crouched down and patted my thighs and all the chickens are trained to come to me on sight because me = food… so i got down there and went “here girl!! come here!!” and the chicken comes running over and this group of actual adult ass individuals were staring at me like i was the fucking pied piper… and i didn’t know what to say…. so i just kind of walked back to my yard with the chicken following me and none of them moved or said a damn word and i think i literally just convinced them this chicken is trained like a dog…

i’ve got a similar story. so sometimes i catch minnows for the ducks as a treat, and i learned that the best thing to catch the minnows in is glass bottles because they can’t leap back out of the tapered end and i can’t accidentally squeeze teh water out. so I’d usually just take an old beer bottle out of the recycle bin for this, the end result of which is that i can essentially summon ducks with beer bottles now and people who are fishing at the pond are like ????!!!!!

yonderland is objectively hysterical because it's like what if there was a fantastical land of mythical people who were the weirdest most fucked up useless sillybillies that ever lived, and the chosen one, the regular ass person tasked with fixing this land's drama was just a completely normal middle-aged mother of twins. and she simply doesn't put up with anyone's bullshit. but also they don't really know what she was chosen for. she doesn't really do anything huge, shit just goes wrong in increasingly ridiculous ways and she happens to come up with a, usually very mundane, solution. and then she goes home to her Normal Husband and Kids. it's great.

AHHHHHHHHHHH

Bloomsbury has acquired a companion book to the BBC television series “Ghosts”.

Katy Follain, head of Bloomsbury general, acquired UK and Commonwealth rights to Ghosts: The Button House Archives from Paul Stevens at Independent Talent. It is her first acquisition since she joined Bloomsbury. The companion book will be published on 26th October 2023.

“Ghosts” was first broadcast in 2019 and has been nominated for multiple national comedy awards. It returns for the final season this September. The tie-in book is described as “a hilarious, colourful and entertaining compendium of surviving artefacts and documents relating to the ghosts of Button House’s past lives”.

Ghosts: The Button House Archives will be written by Mathew Baynton, Simon Farnaby, Martha Howe-Douglas, Jim Howick, Laurence Rickard and Ben Willbond – six of the ghosts who also co-starred in the franchise Horrible Histories. They will be signing books at events around the country in the run-up to Christmas.

They said: “We started kicking around the idea of a ‘Ghosts’ companion book quite early on in the life of the series and got very excited about how the characters could show up in all kinds of documents and artefacts. We’re delighted to finally be bringing this idea to life with Bloomsbury to produce something we hope fans will treasure.”

Follain added: “To be working with this hugely talented group of writers on the tie-in book of such a massively popular comedy series is complete heaven. It combines everything I want the non-fiction Bloomsbury General list to be: quality and best-in-show entertainment with broad appeal. It is the perfect Christmas gift and I’m looking forward to seeing the fans dressed up in their favourite ‘Ghosts’ costumes for the events.”
