Anyone in on Your Friends and Neighbours?

I like it, but I don't think the writing is quite good enough, and there's a Checkov's gun that's as obvious as the sky is blue.

Let's take it to the Wrexham thread gents.

17. I really should have gotten higher. Though I wonder what I'd get on a test of "Christianity" as I've tried to block all that bullshit from my brain.

I'm not a big fan of Vacario. Hoping Kinsky improves a lot in the Summer.

Libby and the like have tiers of subscriptions. As mentioned, they purchase access eBooks/Audiobooks just like they would purchase physical books.
If possible, I highly recommend joining as many local libraries as possible. They often have different subscriptions, so you get access to different ...

Spurs used some different tactics than the usual AngeBall today. They also had some close to competent defending, but also a choice backend for the first time since like December.

Blows my mind that CU only has lax and soccer for women and only club hockey. With the amount of dudebros on campus you'd think they'd have quality programs in both.

Was big into REM in HS (right after my Ozzy/Sabbath period) but gave up basically at the Shiny Happy People mark, though Automatic For The People has some fantastic songs.

Apple had to go to USB-C because of an EU ruling a couple of years ago. I've had to start managing iPads at work and the multitude of chargers I have to have at my desk is insane. You can get any USB-C charger and it'll work for the iPhone. I got some from Amazon that have a little light at the USB ...

Yesterday was the anniversary of their first performance (as a yet-to-be-named band.)

Feels like "and the show will be acoustic" is the greatest test of whether you really, really like an artist.

I'd go again, but of the different incarnations of him that I've seen, this is my least favorite.

Pro tip: try not to rake your fingertip along the blade of your food processor. Bleeds like a MFer.

We bought a new one a couple of months ago. First one the kid put the bowl in the dishwasher and it melted a hole! So this new one I go to hand wash, cut the F out of my finger right at the ...

Aside from a short time in Boston when I upgraded to a Saab, I've owned a VW van of some sort since 1997.

My son is super jealous. He's become a Spurs superfan in the middle of this horrible season. We're going to the UK next Spring (wife is running the London marathon) hopefully they're in town, or at least in the vicinity so we can catch a match.

Real Genius and Top Secret were staples of the high school VCR.

RIP Neek Rivers.

Is there any other school with the relative size of Rutgers, especially one that is functionally the state university and plays at the highest level of collegiate athletics, that has a sorrier level of success in the big two college sports? Because I truly can't think of one.

Probably the ...

and god damn it Pitino Jr. is leaving UNM for Xavier. I understand the bigger name and all that, but anyone that just takes UNM to a little higher level (who I think he was poised to do) is going to be a god in ABQ forever. My hope is that they don't go back to only looking at coaches that have some ...

I don't know if folks caught MD's coach post game presser... It was pretty wild. Complaining about NIL, revenue sharing and the over all commitment of the current AD to the basketball program. Bitching about not being able to stay an extra night in NYC to celebrate Christmas. And blowing up the ...

I didn't get to watch all of the game, but there were some ref shenanigans in the UNM/Mich State game as well. Anti-Mountain West bias FOR SURE!

Glad to see UNC have to play in the first 4, but it should be all the 3rd or whatever teams from a conference. If you have an auto matrix big you should be in the big dance .

I bought one that fits on my grill, plus goes over the Coleman stove for camping.

What do we gotta see/eat/experience in Montreal this summer? I know about bagels and smoked meat, what other reccos you fools got?

I know you mentioned smoked meat, but Schwartz's is pretty much a must. Also, gotta hit a poutinary. If you're going end of June, the Jazz Festival is world-class ...

Sorta like Ween. By the time people recognized them on MTV for “Push the Little Daisies,” they were already building a cult following with some weird ass shit before it.

12 Golden Country Greats is a fantastic album BTW.

I like that series (and I am a huge Frye/QI guy)

I also read/watched his Frye In America series awhile back and amazing how much Frye hated Trump even when he wasn't shite TV star.

Yorkshire Turf Wars: A Football History I'd suspect. Haven't read that one yet. Even though Newcastle isn't Yorkshire proper, it's close enough? Unless he's writing a Northumerland one..

I recommended The Club.

GC, I recommend checking out the Turf Wars series. They get a little tedious unless you want a deep dive into clubs in a particular region. Still, the Lancashire and London books go into the forming of the Football League, it looks like the West Midlands goes into the ...

So cold here in CO that the lower tire pressure lights on my truck were triggered last night.

Grindah does not imply heated, it's the generic term for a "submarine" sandwich.

Congrats AB! I feel so much better then the cesspool at CU. I am so much happier now and have a shorter commute!

Hope you find your bliss my friend.
