Details, Details, Little Details...

Andy Neniu

Hi everyone,

I wanted to start a little lighthearted thread on those little details that I've noticed that I don't think anyone else has.

Did you notice the BBC iPlayer has a volume slider that references This is Spinal Tap? It goes to 11!

There's a trailer for the BBC News progamme "The Papers" which features a Gender Neutral character (there's one in a library and the voiceover uses the pronoun 'they').

There's a version of INXS's "New Sensation" in which Michael Hutchens introduces a "trumpet" in the breakdown/bridge but a saxophone starts playing.....(this one makes me giggle every time).

What other little details have you noticed that might have slipped others by? I love collecting these!

  • One thing that often amuses me is when I buy a packet of nuts, and on the packet it states, "This product may contain nuts". I know the message needs to be there for people who may have nut allergies, but if I'm buying a packet of nuts, I would like to think the product I'm buying will contain nuts. 

    Not sure if this counts as small details though, so apologies if I've gone off-topic. 

    Sometimes when I'm looking at photographs, I'll notice things that other people don't, like things in the background that other people may consider insignificant. I can often be told, "Trust you to notice that". Laughing
