And goodbye to you... goodbye to yoo-hoo... goodbye to you

What says you, Russian judges.

The pie crusts- I'm pretty sure they're 50% flour and 90% shortening. ) Tragically I'm at LHR on the way out. Next time I'm renting a car and roaming the countrysides. Cheerio ol' boy

So I'm on day 8 of 10 in London right now. I'm traveling solo this time- and I've had some amazing solo travels in the past. I'm finding London to be an absolutely lovely city- it could be a model for every city in the US in terms of how to make things function. I haven't felt unsafe in the remotest at any point, except maybe a couple late night drunks howling after England lost the Euro Cup. There's a huge integration of cultures here, and it's incredibly different than the racial dynamics of the US. I don't look at anybody of another race and wonder if they're a threat- it just doesn't work that way- at least in the quite a few areas that I've been. It's a big city and, like any other, people are doing their own thing and generally don't give a hoot about your existence. They're incredibly polite, and if they're serving you they'll get you what you need with great courteousnesses and a smile, but I've found it mostly impossible to make any connections- and I'm usually quite good at that- even in other big cities like NY, Rome or Paris. People say the English are 'reserved', and well I totally agree with that- tough nuts to crack. I've had so much more, and easier, great conversation in Ireland, France and other places. Some of it is random chance, but it also seems the English tend to pack together into their own. In London ... the sights are stunning on just about every corner. Seriously, just turn a 360 wherever you're standing and you'll see at least 2 things that stand out. The fountains of Trafalgar Square are a nice stop through as you wander around. In my apex tourist moment, I went to catch 'Fawlty Towers' at the Apollo- lotsa fun- just try to forget how much you paid if you go to a show like that haha. London's Chinatown is great for food, The Globe Theatre is maybe smaller than you'd imagine. The Marquee club no longer exists.. You can tap a credit card to get on and off of all public transportation. I liked the RAF Museum, though I'm a pilot. And funny note, I saw Sherpa's post on the Churchill Arms- I went there yesterday and got a pint. With 18 days... if you can swing it, my advice would be to not get so much locked into making sure you get 'value' out of what you rented, as it would be more to use it as a home base you always know is there for you. Feel like going to Paris for 3 days... do it if you can make it happen. Spend a night or 2 in a smaller village, great. Have a lovely trip, and watch out for the shortnin' crusts- that *****'ll kill ya. )

I absolutely feel your pain. I'm in London for a week and the gulls at 4am have been so damn annoying haha They come through in one giant flock of squawk at 4, then take a break for a while, then back again at 5:30. I flew 6000 miles to get some r&r, take in the town... and I got seagulls. )

This one gave me a big, awwwwww. He was a great soul on this planet.

My heart was crushed the day this gentleman died in the early days of Covid. It's still kinda crushed I'm still absolutely stunned at how incredibly stupid some of my fellow apes are. I mean, seriously you have a question as to whether this is a deadly disease, and should I put bleach and sunlight into my stomach????

Llove Annie Lenox!!!

Thank you OP for giving a hoot about that damned LB position. To me the LB's are the men amongst boys on D. Everyone's all boo hoo the DB stubbed his toe, or woe is me our DT doesn't have a swim move and our DE can't stop the run... Nah, excellent LB's make the rest of the players free up to do their jobs well. We have VG+ LB's, and they can evolve to excellent.

Dude, he's been off to a great start, but I'm sorry, I want actual difference-makers to be talked about. How do I have to be stuck arguing AGAINST a player I really like. But he hasn't done ***** yet. Tell me I'm wrong.

"I am Donald Trump"

Cribbs was the reason we had those magical, early 80's years. It only lasted 2 seasons, and parts of a couple more on the sides, but holy fook! He was the definition of electric. For all too brief a time, he was legitimately the best running back in the league, north or south, by the 3-5 years surrounding his reign of gorgeous. Dorsett, Campbell and Dickerson, maybe Allen and a season or 2 of Bo were in his league during that time, but I'd still take Cribbs. ... or a season or 2 of Bo haha Let me know when Cook is that important.

This is a compliment- you would have been better off spending those thousands on your local NJ pizza shops- they consistently make the best pies in the US.

Hahahahahahhahahahahahahaahhahaah hahahahaahhahaahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahaahahahahahahahahaha

In general it's a tougher place to be on the sane side of the argument, but that's offset by not having to fabricate outrage. Thank you for your concern.

You've gotta check out this album... actually provably from a... gasp... CD Front-to-back a beautiful era of X:

Hurhurhurhur thwap

Not a single peep about him being a primate. Deep down inside, I know you all know. * except for 'Dirty Tammy Callahan' who is currently dripping sweat over his keyboard afraid to push the letter 'I'.
