Re: John Virgo

I'm not much of a snooker fan but his voice as a commentator was iconic. I loved Big Break too back in the day

RIP

The cynic in me thinks there are more Tories in a cold sweat about Epstein and dragging them out into the open is the only way he can cling to power

True dat...

I watched a Blitz documentary and by all accounts, nearly all survived the war. Some were blown 100 yards away, still attached to a chunk of the pavement but most were cleaned up and re-installed. :lol:

Our local Lithuanian Hand Job place runs the carpets through a little machine.

No badges or fans but perfectly clean

Re: Teh Spotted Thread

McLaren 750s

No pics as the owner came back but therefore, got to hear it start up and pull away.

No doubt it’s an amazing machine and every inch of it is function over form,

But by Christ it’s an ugly thing.

Re: Catherine O'Hara

Couldn’t agree more Zed 👍🏻

She was a comic, true and true and cut her teeth in the hardest of environments - the ensemble comedy troupe, performing sketches live in stage. That is not for the faint of heart.

I guess what I mean is I’d have loved to have seen her play more range, more often but ...

Re: Catherine O'Hara

I mentioned in another thread how she got her start with John Candy and others. Her eulogy at his funeral was lovely.

I think she was a far better actor than perhaps her career would suggest.

Rest in Peace

Re: Can I get a TV that's just a TV?

I have a new LG, a recommendation from here, and I have none of those issues.

In fact, I almost never use the TV remote. Sky remote turns it on, controls the volume etc. I watch all streaming via the Sky Q box.

You just appear to have bought the wrong TV

I've got a solid plumber / gas engineer, a sparky and a general builder guy who's my roofer.

Re: Trump

The Noem one I saw yesterday but it doesn't seem to be published today - Probably just speculation that was removed once proven to be incorrect.

There's a lot of that going round...

We learned long ago that if you're not into your Apres (which we absolutely are not), staying in the resort is a waste of time. (Having a non drinker mate who doesn't mind driving in the evening helps too. :D )

Re: The Holiday Thread

Oh right - in my mind, your trips were a regular thing...

My last two or three trips have been 5 day'ers to Kitzbuhel. Fly to Munich and it's a couple of hours from there in the car. We can do two of us, sharing a car and a double room, all in for about £1000 each.

We've sort of figured out how ...

Yeah, i’m sowing the seeds trying to get my mrs interested in going next yea

Good luck with that - I tried but gave up in the end. I think she's too "working class" for skiing, despite loving the snow.

Go solo - Plan well and have good insurance and you'll be grand
