Oh! I Always Get Those Two Mixed Up!

^I get those mixed up as well

Ditto.

Yeah, same.

at least Minghella did a decent Highsmith adaptation (among a load of shite!) although it wasn't a patch on the 1960 one with Delon. Less said about Mendes the better.

Me too!

Also Lewis Capaldi and Paolo Nutini.

Sy Syms

which one sang with the Max Rebo Band?

Micheal Howard (late historian who died last year)
Micheal Howard (former Tory leader)

I only got them mixed up once tbh but was thinking Baron Howard had sneaked off to the invisible choir without telling anybody!

Harvey Weinstein
Harvey Fierstein

I used to mix them up too, but not so much in recent years, for obvious reasons.

Dervla Kirwan
Sharon Horgan

Minghella's "Ripley" is amazing. *googles* ohhhhh Mendes did Skyfall and Spectre? yuck. I don't know why they didn't let Martin Campbell do several

Plein Soleil is my fave version, but I think they both fine tbh but let's be honest young alain delon>>>matt bloody damon!

I think both movies are good in different ways, the French one is sexier, while the Minghella one is more sociological. Plein soleil suffers from the forced "moral" ending though, which the newer one obviously doesn't have.

aye some bits of it didn't age well, but overall and I suppose aesthetically it is much more of an indelibly cool movie in my memory!

I grew up calling scallions 'spring onions' and have avoided that mix up.

"Did you get the onion from the supermarket?"
"Yeah, here it is"
"It's a bit on the small side isn't it?"
"Well, that's shallot"

Yeah nobody in the uk says scallions ime

My mum called them sybees (no idea if that's how you spell it)

Scallions may be an Irish thing?

scallions
scallops

I was an adult when I found out that scallops aren't always sliced potato

they call them collops in my local chippy (rip)

My mum called them sybees (no idea if that's how you spell it)

Same here. Spelled 'syboe'. From the French, 'ciboule'. The Auld Alliance at work again?

Ditto.

Yes, like how we have ashet pies, from 'assiete'

xp

Oh, is that why it’s called an ashet? I never realised!
