Hiya Mandy!
1:30 yeah thank f8ck windows donβt drag like that anymore! Leaving a trail behind them π Thatβd be due to the windows NT OS upgrade in the form of windows 2000 that entirely replaced the win95 codebase. And now we have cpu threads dedicated to wiping up all those pesky window trails, and not held up by a non-responsive program π Or in my case, we now use a Mac π
15:00 Jen: βGerman cuisine? β¦nothing more romantic than a glass of wine and some Schweinefleischβ Sarcasm Mandy, point is - German cuisine doesnβt sound romantic at all now, does it?
15:27 Oh the nervous laughter π
20:54 How can you be your own brother? π€ What if youβre a conjoined twin, to any degree of separation, you might consider your own identity to include all of you! π₯΄
Actually, thanks for an entirely appropriate reaction! Ha!

Why would you jump off a bike you fucking idiot π oh btw I broke my wrist playing football at school proper swallon up and was turning a funky colour. Broke my lil toe playing football with my grandparents dog when I was like 6 ( seems to be a theme here π) and I also broke my lil finger running home from school, took basically all the skin on the outside of my finger off across the pavement π

Firstt tike was at school playing football. I was badly tackled and ended up with the right one dislocated. Then I dislocated the left trampolining. Rock climbing in Wales at about 18 I dislocated the right one again. 3rd time I fell down stairs. It's been 12 or so years now since it last happened and I can sometimes feel it straining.
The worst injury I have ever seen though was in the first year of secondary school during PE. We were doing long jump and a lad split his knee cap by hitting it in the corner of the wooden frame. The scream was like nothing I have ever heard before. Its been 25 years and he still has operations on it π±

No, definitely not real. You can't break your bum. And I'm pretty sure there are no Salmon in Sth Africa (unless they farm them there now). But, when I was a kid, I broke gobb knows how many fingers and toes, basically just from falling over while running and landing funny, or kicking door frames while running around the house. Not much they can do about toes though. The best broken bone story I have, which is π― true, is from primary school (about 7 or 8 y.o.) when a friend of mine broke both his forearms at the same time, while 'playing' a 'game' we made up with the jungle gym. There was a horizontal pole hanging from short metal chains which you were supposed to climb along from one section of the play equipment to another, but at some point we started swinging back and forth on it and then letting go as you swung back and see how far you go backwards. This friend managed an amazingly long distance, but landed HORRIBLY. As stated earlier, he broke BOTH forearms. Both the ulna and the radius of both arms were both snapped clean in two leaving the half of the bones attached to the elbow poking menacingly through ripped flesh and the other half of his forearms with the hands attached, hanging limp and flopping about as he stared in disbelief (along with the rest of us), then balled uncontrollably as the reality of the situation set in and we walked him to the classroom. What is even worse, as horrific as that was, the same friend, in the same year, while the two of us were on bin duty, taking the class rubbish out to the big hopper, found a HUGE light bulb. Thinking back, it must have been about a 1000w, very similar to some grow lights I've seen since. When your like 7 y.o., that's just awesome! We'd never seen one like it before, so we must have it! Don't know what we thought we would do with it, but whatever the case, he slipped over while carrying it and it kind of imploded or exploded or whatever they do, and there was blood everywhere! Both his hands and yes, his forearms again too were completely lacerated, so after having spent months in a double cast from the playtime fun, he now had to spend weeks with both hands completely bandaged up. And yes, that genuinely is all true. Sleep well.

Fair point, statistically, with Christmas being very well known and popular as well as a very common theme employed by most TV shows/sitcoms etc, and cannibalism being almost the mirror opposite of that, it was a pretty astute bet she made there. Still pretty optimistic though π OMG! π‘ moment! Could it be that Mandys optimistic outlook is a kind of survival mechanism/coping strategy due to having to live in Argentina, whereas those of us who live in more fortunate circumstances, don't require that so much because everything's generally gonna be pretty good. Just a thought of course.

The weird side of the internet has a thing called 'vore', which (trust me) you don't want to investigate too deeply. I would assume that people who are into it would be the kind of people who sign up to be eaten by cannibals, but I would also assume there aren't very many of them around (what with getting eaten and all).

Don't worry too much, she's not actually biting them, and it's only the one thumbnail, it's the why all of a sudden that's interesting. I have a theory or two. But also, the action itself is fascinating. It kind of reminds me of when actors are pretending to eat and they play with the food on their plate then get a bit on their fork and almost eat it and put it down and pick it up and wave it about then almost eat it again etc etc... But also how she twists her hand over to almost 'nibble' her thumbnail like that. Sorry again Miss Mandy if you get to reading this. You're hair looks nice, looks like you refreshed the pink/red π€ππ

I feel like if they'd made this a few years later, Henning Wehn would have crushed it as the German cannibal.

You would have thought that Emu could have at least flapped his wings when Rod Hull fell off that roof.

Perhaps the most disturbing thing about this episode was how intimately Roy knew Dominator's toilet habits...

That Guardian article is hilarious. Practically every paragraph has got something just a little bit off about it. It says the victim had "a live in girlfriend". Has anyone ever actually said that in real life? It makes her sound like a servant!

Don't tell Mandy we all have an emu. It's meant to be a British secret.

Yep, that's how it works! It's a bit like how if you frown too much the wind might change and you get stuck like that forever!

Hahaha, I know right, who would have thought that Germans could be slightly rigid in their thinking?! The whole article is dripping with sarcasm and absurdity. The neighbours "believed there was nothing odd about the 42-year-old computer expert, whose light burned late into the night inside his creaking mansion". Creaking mansion! Blimey, at the start of the sentence he's just a lonely nerd working from home, by the end we're in horror movie villain territory!

What was I watching on television recently that had someone answer the door in this manner? It was something in the last few days but I can't think what it was now. Anyway, it's basically how every British person answers the door.

So by that logic, the guy from Mandy's 'leg' story bit his own toenails.

2023-12-30 14:56:30 +0000 UTC
@paul Yeah, exactly right. If you don't know about this story, this is going to be a very confusing episode!
Just re-read the article myself and... well, there's a reason people say truth is stranger than fiction! The whole thing is so bizarre, but this little detail really caught me:
"The unprecedented case has proved problematic for German lawyers who discovered that cannibalism is not illegal in Germany."

Wanting to be eaten is the ultimate fate of those who insist on continuing to bite their nails... π
paul

I can only think that literally every single person watching Mandy's hopeful intro was pissing themselves laughing knowing what a mad episode was about to come.
paul
2023-12-30 14:44:50 +0000 UTC
Yes, this was a very well known news story at the time and happened quite a few years before this episode was made. That's why the audience immediately grasps what's going on. I think I read that Guardian article back in 2003. Just read it again now and there's a lovely bit of insanity at the end: "Brandes spoke good English, he said, and since eating him his English had improved." So there you go, the benefits of being the victim remain unclear, but one potential benefit for the cannibal is improved modern language skills.
paul

Potty mouth again π only just realised how much you bite your nails btw, get some shit on them, don't want the skin around them to be fucked β€οΈ

What mistake? And if there are people who want to eat someone else then there are always those willing to be eaten. It's probably a sexual thing.

Don't read if squeamish.
In the real case of the German "Master Butcher" the only thing the victim got out of it was to share in eating his own penis with him before he was killed and eaten. Even though technically cannibalism isn't illegal the killing was so he ended up getting life.

This ep made a lot more sense back when this story was fairly well-known in the news: In Germany, a man placed an ad saying he wanted to eat another human... and someone else actually answered it and they went through with it!

Great! I've been waiting ages for a Josh AMA. Although, anyone else is also free to answer all, some or none of these questions too. I have numbered them for clarity.
1. Do you work in a shop? What is it like? What kind of things do you do there?
2. Did you see that ludacris display last night? What was Wenger thinking sending Walcott on that early?
3. Do you ever feel that you could do better but lack the motivation to do so? Do you feel that you are waiting for a chance to shine but no one is giving you the opportunity to prove yourself?
4. Do you have an Apple or Android phone?
5. Do you worry about events in the news or do you try to ignore them because you are powerless to change anything?
6. Have you got a pension? Do you worry that you won't ever be able to retire comfortably or do you reckon you'll be okay?
7. Are you a religious man? Which religion are you in to?
8. Do you have anyone on your ignore list on Patreon?
9. Do you maintain a healthy diet?
10. Do you remember Noel's House Party?
