Yeah, it's very familiar to me.
And there's also: "If money grew on trees, it would be as valuable as leaves" :) .

Rewind sounds more useful to me... I'm always regretting things!

Great grandparents... it's hard to imagine I'll ever have great grandchildren :P .
(My last great grandparent died when I was about 8 years old, although I never met her)

Coffee and hot chocolate are my favourites.
I don't mind tea, but don't have it very often.

Only rarely. Certainly nowhere near as much as children at school did :P .

Probably not. I wasn't even around in the 1970s, so I've lived with those things for my entire life!

Interesting! I had also heard that the iconic horn hats were NOT from the Vikings originally. Indeed: they didn't wear horned helmets in battle. Wearing horned helmets would have been a terrible idea - because the horns would give the enemy something to aim at to knock the helmet off (or, if the helmet was strapped on, something to grab hold of whilst slitting the Viking's throat!)

Italian is my favourite of those listed, but I also enjoy Mexican and Indian.
(Korean is up there too, but I haven't had enough of it to be comfortable listing it among my favourites yet!)

I vaguely remember the show.I may look it up on youtube. You're gonna need to look up this one! The Banker is a woman, you can counteroffer, but you also put the game in the Banker's hands if you do. If she says "Deal", she gives you whatever you ask for (within sensible reason) and she takes your case. However, if she says "No Deal", you are forced to go on in the next round, depending on how deep into the game you are. This is "Deal or No Deal 2.0" Wow, that adds an interesting new dynamic to the game :O ! If the show ever gets revived in the UK (and, to be honest, it probably is still too soon, given that it only ended a couple of years ago over here), then I would like to see that being used.

We used to have it here too, although it was quite different from the US version. £250k instead of $1 million; Noel Edmonds as host; 22 red boxes instead of 26 briefcases; and future contestants instead of models.
I doubt ours will be revived any time soon, though, since it's only two years since it ended :P .

Well, the last thing I watched on TV was the Russian Grand Prix.

I never watched it either, and I'm glad it's been cancelled. TBH I think this was about a decade overdue.

I just watched Mastermind.
(One of the contestants had Kim Kardashian as her specialist subject - which was just depressing :( )
