Copycats that are better than the originals.

Shakespeare ‘borrowed’ most of his plots – he seems to be quite well regarded.

There are only reckoned to be 7 basic plots in story-telling so whoever in human history was the 8th person to tell a story was probably borrowing one of them 🙂

Oh I give up trying to put pictures on this POS site, but please click the link – it made me LOL and feels relevant:

Aldi chocolate. Both their cheap ‘Choceur’ and posh ‘Moser Roth’.  Way better than Cadbury, Galaxy or any other ‘British’ chocolate.

On the music theme, Back Betty by Spiderbait. Better than Ram Jam (aware it was around a long time before that).

Aldi £7 Stellenbosch

Exactly the same as the £9 Morrisons Stellenbosch

And a Dax Rush is better than both!

Just no – hideous things

👍 Aldi wine generally. The best of all the supermarket wine ime.

Less shit than Robin’s Nest.

Jack Tripper was the finest goddamn chef and restaurateur of his era and that’s a hill that I’ll die on.

Pixel better than iPhone? 🙂

iOS better than Symbian and whatever stillborn mobile version of Windows that was around back then.

Windows Phone 8 was briefly the perfect phone OS before Microsoft did a Microsoft of the era move and destroyed it after trashing everybody’s trust in the platform.

Guardiola’s Barcelona was much better than the Dutch total football it was trying to replicate

Other types of football are much better than soccerball.

Tis hard to beat “I wanna be sedated” by the Ramones as a song but the GoGo’s cover from about 2001 is brilliant. Middle aged women showing the Ramones how to do it.

Umami?

Salmon spring rolls.

Aldi’s Peppermint Aero copycat is much nicer than the original.
