I reckon the judge might go hard on him.

This reminds me of a time when I'd just turned 18 and was sat having a pint in my local pub. One of the old lads came and sat next to me and we were having a good chin wag about, I suspect, nothing in particular.
Then in walked two of my friends who, at the time, were never seen apart. Always worked and socialised together. One of the friends was called Colin (horrendous name) and the other Craig.
As often happens in British pubs conversation quickly turns to folk taking the urine out of each other. In this instance the topic of conversation was how Colin and Craig were always together. Eventually, it went quiet but the old boy (in his 70s at least) took this has his big opportunity. He stood up, went to the bar looked at Craig and said "what do you do Craig when he's not with you? Have you got a blow up Col?".
Perfect comical timing.

This is the king of all that is indie music. I know most will not approve, but whatever, it's tremendous.
First listen - "What the f is this?"
Second listen - "Ok, this isn't too bad"
Third listen - "I love you Jeeeesssuuuuuuusssssss Chrrrriiiisssssttttttttt! Jesus Christ I love youuuuuuu yeeeesssssssss I doooooooooooooo!"
Fantastic album...but I cannot stand "I Wanna Be Adored" Don't know what it is, but that song is torture for me.
One man’s junk is another man’s treasure ? -
The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
1. I Wanna Be Adored
2. She Bangs The Drum
The album starts with those two. It also ends with:
I Am The Resurrection
Fools Gold
What an album. It had more of an impact on my music choices than any other.

Yep, I wouldn't be pulling the trigger on the trade until we know what we have with Allen for sure.
Ask again this time next year. We'll have a better idea.

It would be interesting what the comments would be should Dallas let Prescott walk and he carries on waltzing all the way to Foxborough.
I suspect all of a sudden there would be some soiling of the undergarments.

Decent film then Family Guy did the "***** boob" scene and ruined it.

London based BIll fan here.
I have yet to get to see a game of football on American soil. Been to the US thrice, each time with work, each time out of season.
Been a Bills fan since '91.
One day I shall get to Orchard Park. I'd probably burst into tears just walking up to it.
I must admit I got emotional. It might sound daft but finally getting to go to a place you've wanted to go to for 30 years got to me.
Walking up the steps and finally seeing the field and stands produced a feeling I wish I could have bottled and taken back home. When the game had finished I didn't want to leave. I stood looking around for what seemed like hours but was just a few minutes.

Yep, week 4 versus Patriots last season.
Plus the game at Wembley against Jaguars which was like a home game.
Sadly, 2 losses. I'll stay away from now on. I won't.

When you say "50-60" is it the even numbers in between because if it's an odd number you're either not the man you're making yourself out to be, have been surprising women with your groping or been getting a bit since your accident? Cheers.

Finally get to play golf for the first time this year later. With my brother too who I've not seen since March despite us living under 2 miles apart.

We were due to go to Majorca on 1st August. It was touch and go whether we'd be able to travel and/or have restrictions on what we can do when we get there and possible quarantine on our return to the UK.
To remove any of the worry we took the travel companies offer of being able to amend our holiday without a charge. So we re-booked for July next year but managed to get an extra day, private airport transfers and extra baggage allowance for the same price of the original holiday.
We felt doing this would take away any worry of anxieties we have about going away this summer. Our 9 year old took the news remarkably well ?

Have you gotten your horse-drawn delivery from Tadcaster?
If so, count me as jealous.
Not personally and all the pubs are shut so the Tad lager isn’t going anywhere at the moment! -

Hey Brit Bill:
I assume you live in the UK? Did you ever watch the Netflix Series? I'm interested in your take on the similarities with the Bills franchise and devoted fan base.
You assume correctly. Although I’ve not seen either of the Sunderland series on Netflix.
As already mentioned, the North East of England is very similar to Buffalo. Hardworking, non-flashy folk who are extremely passionate and defensive about their teams.
Interestingly, Sunderland also had a great old stadium which was slowly becoming too dated for the direction soccer was going in this country in the 90’s. They opened a new stadium in the late 90’s and had some initial and relative success. They never won a major trophy despite finishing well into the top 10 of the Premier League.
Honestly, if you think rivalries in the US are mad the rivalry between Sunderland and Newcastle is berserk. It’s pure hatred. Neither team have ever been that successful which is a testament to the attendances both teams are still getting.
Either North-East team is a great comparison to the Bills.

I jumped ahead and just watched the game via "game in 40". I'm standing by my original comment. We never looked like winning this game.
The D deserved so much better than what the O offered up. The first quarter was an abomination.
We were never closer than 4 points other than at kick off. The refs got us out of jail on more than a few occasions and there must have been at least 10 offensive plays for negative yards.

I would suggest rewatching it
I will. I'm ploughing my way through last season't games.
Only up to the week 3 game v Bengals at the moment.
-
I'm yet to re-watch this game but my abiding memory is we never looked like winning it or deserved to.
You know when a midget tries to fight a normal sized person and gets held off by a strong arm to the head? That's how I remember this game going.

I've heard Poojer has caught crabs more than once.
I'm not sure if it happened in America but here in the UK a fishmonger would come into pubs and clubs (was always on Sunday night in the club I was in) selling sea food snacks.
Everytime they would come in with their basket of disgusting smelling food all you could hear was shouts of "Hey, mate. Have you got crabs?". The bloke must have heard it millions of times.
Then, one night he came in and someone shouted "have you got any mussels?". The bloke seemed genuinely pleased there wasn't a mention of crabs. When he replied "yes, I've got mussels" he got the reply "then why aren't you carrying two baskets?!".
He wasn't happy.

So what British comedies are worth a watch? I've seen Coupling, and the first two or three seasons or so are as funny as anything I've ever seen. What haven't I heard of?
Comedy is such a personal thing. Like taste in music and what you look for in the opposite sex (or same sex!).
My favourite British comedies are Early Doors, Phoenix Nights, The Inbetweeners and House of Fools of the more modern era. Some of the "oldies" I like are Porridge, Citizen Smith and Only Fools & Horses. Although over the years OF&H has been overplayed. One of the Sky channels is basically devoted to it.

'The Simpsons' works very well on sneaking things past young or naive ears. 'Family Guy' is about as subtle as being hit by a train.
Oh yes, the little one doesn't watch Family Guy. I'm not sure I could answer the questions it would raise!
-
I'm not a massive fan of American comedy in general (no offence, I prefer your dramas and football) but the ones I'd say I enjoyed are Cheers, Frazier & The Goldbergs.
The Simpsons and Family Guy do get watch too. The Simpsons is great as I can watch that with my son. He enjoys the fact it's a cartoon and is silly and I can take in the humour which isn't obvious to young children.

I've had an owl in my backyard for years, and its huge. Bigger than the hawks around here. You walk out back some nights and it's like a parachute coming at you if it flies away. Most of the time it just sits and stares at you.
I think you're suffering from Irritable Owl Syndrome.
