  1. Can't help you on the Keurig but complete empathy about your child driving alone the first time. My son took a car to college & I found that even more difficult so you have that to ponder in the future. A couple of things to consider regarding your child driving your car. There are two options: 1.) Title/register the car in their name. He/she owns the car. This protects your liability but the cost of insurance will skyrocket. 2.) If the car title is in your name you may wish to have an umbrella policy to help limit your liability in the event of a catastrophic accident. This situation would be if something happened to someone else besides your child and you want to protect your assets in our highly litigious society.
  2. Interesting side note: I am traveling to the US from Istanbul right now and the Turkish govt delayed the time switch to next weekend due to the PM election today.
  3. Yes, all three previous Bonds, including Skyfall, are tied in.
  4. Saw it on opening night at the Odeon in Canterbury while in the UK for work. No spoilers: I enjoyed the movie but I am a Bond acolyte so not very objective. Rank it behind Casino Royale as far as Craig's Bond movies. It ties together Craig's Bond flicks. It's a dark & long movie but plenty of action. I thought the storyline was predictable but most Bond flicks are. Good fight scene with Bautista on train. Not that impressed with Waltz as the villian. The experience at the theater was great: Odeon employees were dressed in tuxes and you could order champagne. They passed out Spectre posters at the end to everyone.
  5. Kelly & Thomas wing eating contest on main stage. No time identified: http://www.nfluk.com/events/eating-contest.html
  6. Inexpensive way to get around London. Rent a bike (2£/$3) for 24 hrs and then pay for use. However, there is no use fee if you drop it off at a station in less than 30 minutes after you pick it up. https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/cycling/santander-cycles They also have a phone app to inform you of station locations, how many bikes are available at a station, and spaces available to drop off a bike.
  7. I will happily drive when the Bills start winning again regularly at home. That's an especially long and depressing drive after a loss.
  8. You make a good point and I can be superstitious. So, I can invite you to a webex on Sun and you can focus your computer camera on the game and share it and we can watch it virtually while I am at the game.
  9. Paul - you'd always be welcome if we were driving though I would probably have to pick up a bunch of Iomazenil https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01590277 but this time we are flying. Flying to London for work after the game and looking forward to NFL party, Bills parties, & Jags game next weekend...can't wait.
  10. C'ville is a great place. Going to see a show at the Paramount in Dec. I live in Ashland (Center of the Universe) VA and am going to the game this weekend, too.
  11. There was a drawing of Uggs next to it
  12. Expediting through US Customs (5 min) & 100% TSA pre-check
  13. Great to hear you'll be able to make it. Hope to see you there. Today, I posted in the London Tailgate Forum that I learned I would be going, too. The company I work for has asked me to do some work at our sites in the UK for a couple of weeks during which the game is being played. Although I will be in Cambridge and Canterbury, I plan to stay at the London Marriott Regents Park during the game weekend. Someone besides Leroi post about any Bills fan gatherings on Sat & Sun in London. Thx
  14. I just found out that my company has asked me to go our sites near London when this game is being played. This is just f!cking outstanding. I will be in Canterbury but plan to stay at the London Marriot Regents Park on Fri-Sun for the game. Any location Sat night/Sun before game where Bills fans are meeting? Thanks
  15. I know this is too late for this weekend but investing in the global access card ($100/5 yrs) is something to consider. This always gets you TSA pre-check in the US for flights and can seriously cut down security wait time. When I fly back from BUF after a game, I can get there 30 mins before my flight and go right through. In addition, when you travel internationally, you fingerprint through customs, get prompted to answer a few questions at the same terminal, and you are done. It literally takes me 5 min through customs. Even if you only travel two times internationally within the five years, it is worth it imo if it saves 2-4 hours of your time. And, you also get TSA per-check.
  16. Play action, check down to Shady right side for 5 yds 18 first downs
  17. Pooj, Are you going to Lockn this weekend? A great lineup with all Dead members. Plus Robert Plant, Carlos Santana, Hot Tuna, and a reunion of sorts for Airplane, Doobie Incident (String Cheese Incident & Doobie Brothers), Mad Dogs & Englishmen (Joe Cocker celebration) with Leon Russell, Dave Mason, Rita Coolidge, Tedeschi Trucks), John Popper, Umphrey's McGee, Widespread Panic w Jimmy Cliff, & others. http://www.locknfestival.com/
  18. Thur & Fri are holidays here in China with '70' banners up in lots of places. It is a one time holiday called Victory Day but probably pertains more to the Japanese. Everyone glued to their televisions at 10 tomorrow for 70 min broadcast & marches in Beijing.
  19. 12 hr ahead of east coast. Going to watch a til about halftime & then back to sleep.
  20. Game Pass working great in Shanghai!
  21. I am working in our Copenhagen location for a short time and the colleagues there told me that their neighboring Swedes recently changed the name of birds (i.e., blackbird) out of fear of racism. Sure enough, I googled it and PC run amuck: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2015/02/24/out-of-fear-of-racism-sweden-changes-the-names-of-bird-species/
  22. Paul, Something like this? http://www.crutchfield.com/S-ZrSQCeDv5iW/p_119FMCH300/Monster-iCarPlay-Wireless-300.html Tony
  23. Hi all, My wife and I were going to go but cannot do it now. Before posting on third party sites, I thought we would give some TBD members a chance at them for cost. The two seats with TM charges are $344. They are great seats in Sec 108, row 11, seats 22&23. We can transfer them through TM. Let me know. Will post on 3rd party on Monday if no interest.
