Ok lads it time for me to issue the standard ‘we don’t do sectarian here’ thing, in case anyone was thinking of latching on to this.

We’ve both Protestants and Catholic supporters, and were formed from a Methodist church and we’ve all been friendly so let’s keep it that way.

Feel I must reply here @Groucho .
If you read my post in Rangers or Scottish football I despise the sectarian part of football and everyday life.( I live north of the border. )
It was a joke about Celtic on an Everton forum.
The "unfortunately not "was not meant as my backing for the comment as it might have seen.

Ever so sorry, I realised that fact after I posted, however the Elvis aspect is bob on true.

Nothing to be sorry about mate you kicked off one of the best threads on GOT here Groucho, only the Ainsley Harriet thread tops it

Haha many thanks.

I do like to fact check though.

Oh I’m absolutely not accusing you of anything - just a warning to those who latch on and cause aggro.

I hope that you don’t think I was trying to be provocative. I was just posting an interesting fact that I came across whilst reading a novel.

Not at all, see above.

In the railway industry, a train going in the wrong direction is referred to as being 'on bang road'.

Thought this might be relevant here, if a little long winded...



Something about it just doesn’t look right does it?

Turns out that the interpolation algorithm that ‘fills in’ the frames to upscale the toon to 60fps doesn’t take into account the original animators vision of how the movement of the scene would play out.



Her whole thread and link are worth looking at. Apparently, in the older ‘toons with low frame rates, the human brain fills in the blanks to make the image appear smooth and more organic.

It’s a similar method to that old meme which has a paragraph with half the vowels missing but you can still read it, or how you somehow stop reading subtitles a few mins into a movie and start “hearing” them.

The brain is a miraculous thing!

Often thought minecraft is a very beautiful looking game at times, which makes no sense, but I think it's a related phenomenon. Your brain sort of smoothens out the blocky graphics so you experience it as much more realistic-looking.

The Castle - Classic...of its type, but still a classic. If you havent seen it there are a lot worse films to waste your time on
