Taking me 3 hours for each episode though, one for the podcast, one for the first version that I have on dvd,and another for the second and I assume current on dvd (and probably what HBO currently stream) with the shittier soundtrack. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDU...K5a2rhKqE1HcEw

Surely acceptable dining attire in mid-summer. Smart ones and a linen shirt up top.
What's the etiquette here O Style Gurus of the bbv?

Some terrifying data from the greatest country ever: "Food insecurity for U.S. households last week reached its highest reported level since the Census Bureau started tracking the data in May, with almost 30 million Americans reporting that they’d not had enough to eat at some point in the seven days through July 21." https://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...h%20July%2021.

Despite watching the first season many, many times I'd never noticed that the pork store was called Centanni's Meat Market in the first episode, before it became Satriale's. Imperioli is so full of info like that.Gone full 'Glinner' since June 2022.

The pic, as chance would have it, also captures the shorts I was dining out in. I suspect if both a banker and a professor are dining out in shorts then it is most definitely the height of fashion

I do love me some Duck. Def in my top 3 meat list.

Nothing happening on the booking front and volume customers not expecting to have anything in 2021. Very grim times ahead in leisure accross the board based on that.

Actually about to pop to local farmers market, the above BS sounds like something you would buy there for real."We are not Europeans. Those people on the continent are freaks."

The thing was, I think they were actually trying to be safe rather than smart-asses. It's a sad day for a nation when someone doing something stupid has you automatically assuming they must be from that nation.Last edited by ComradeCollie; 01-08-20, 10:41.Gone full 'Glinner' since June 2022.

Visors are a pretty good alternative imo. Cannot get father in law to keep mask on but visor works as it's so unobtrusive.People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

Some very interesting chat between a company and the hackers who got to encrypt their files in this thread. Sounds like Garmin paid up last week too.
some of the exchanges are amazing

I understand people selling something using it, just don't think it's a useful forum for discussion. Kayroo's tweets are always excellent, but as in real life he's the exception to the norm.Gone full 'Glinner' since June 2022.

Listen to this episode from Documentary on One Podcast on Spotify. Shane Healy has gone the distance in life. After spending years in an orphanage as a child, he travelled widely before hitch-hiking around the US, where he discovered he was a naturally talented athlete. It took more than that to get him to the 1996 Olympics where he ran for Ireland. Now after years away from the sport, Shane is back. (2020) Hosted on Acast.

Only one I vaguely remember was when they wanted to induct either Flippy the dolphin, or Skippy the bush Kangaroo, as a member. Though the debates were always better than the twitterbox version.
