    Finishing up Squid Game. Just shows that the future of quality TV and cinema will be coming from the far east and not Hollywood. IMO not much of merit except for a handful of stuff has come out Hollywood in over a decade but the Asian's are killing it. 

    Squid Game, what a bizzare programme. I watched with dubbing and subtitles, at times it seemed like there were two different scripts (almost).

    Had a bit yesterday but none today. Hope you're well man?

    Been a while since my last post, Weather here is a bit crap, grey with a fine misty drizzlle, warm for the time of year though.  I'm well thanks CP,  just wish "things" around me were.

    Trying to figure out what that thing is just ahead of the headlight.

    It's called a tax disc, it was a legal requirement to display one here in the UK up until 2015. Renewed yearly or six monthly, it's now all done online. The Bike itself being B reg was first registered in May 64 so only has a six month tax duty paid.

    ..........It was funny that when my friends and I stayed at the former Heartbreak Hotel across from Graceland on two occasions there was a channel we had that played Elvis movies 24/7. We stayed in the Graceland suite. The suite had 7 TVs and modeled after Graceland including the Jungle Room with a mini waterfall. Very cool. But it's been torn town. Another Elvis hotel replaced it and is more high end. Hope to stay here one day.

    Eww, not somewhere I would want to stay, a bit tasteless and tacky imho of course. Each to their own.

    What do you think it it about Zep that keeps them on top in terms of popularity?  Did they really luck out.  All good looking guys.  Great musicianship. Even though they could be sloppy life.  I listen to Zep and then Queen.  Queen seems way more refined, but they can't get into that Sex groove that Zep have.  

    Whats your thoughts.  

    It sounds daft maybe, but compared to Zeppelin, Queen are a new band. Zeppelin unleashed their fifth album HOTH around about the time Queen released their first. By the time Queen came around my musical tastes were firmly established and there was no room for Queen never has been and never will be. They're a pop group compared to Zeppelin. I've been listening to Zeppelin for months maybe a year short of fifty years and still listen to them regularly. I'll always have room for them, even ITTOD gets  a listen now and xen.

    Are you calling me sensitive? :D

    Ha Ha, it was actually to do with something on another forum where discussion should only ever be civil (basically) . Differing opinions are often seen to be  argumentative, which can be true, it's just how the opposing viewpoint is worded, a "banter type" response  though friendly "to me" can be seen as offensive. Anyway the footie, finally. I thought we played well for some of the game but not enough. We did well in that we didn't get beat in game time, only conceded three goals, we did ok, better than I expected. What wasn't good was the shameful behaviour of a number of attendees (I won't call them fans), booing the opposition(what's that about), absolutely no need. Throwing missiles, pitch invasion, breaking and entering to get a freebie, to name a few things. Worst of all the cowardly racist attacks on Rashford, Saka and Sancho via "Twit-ish".

    Where's the fun in that, though? Taking the piss is part of an Englishman's cultural heritage...😇 

    Some good old banter too, sadly it never goes down well on public forums, too many sensitive types. Anyway the Footie....

  8. Well then England have made the final in a major tournament  for the first time  since 1966. Can we win against Italy, it'll be difficult against a team of drama queens, their players going down at every "tickle", yep tickle never mind the tackles. We have the so called "home advantage" with the game being played at Wembley,  that may help a little. So roll on Sunday, it'll be feet up, a few ready rolled at the ready, a mug of PG or three on the go and a small pack of choc digestives should make the evening. No expectations, just a lot of hope. Good luck England.

    Quote does not work.

    Also, if possible, the Next Unread and Go To Topic arrows are now at the top of the page instead of at the bottom.  Which doesn't really do any good since when finished reading the thread, I'm at the bottom of the page and not the top.

     

    Thanks Sam!

    Are you kidding me?  No way.  England will blow them out.  I say 4-1.  Surest bet of the weekend.  I also am taking Denmark, but I am taking parlays and flipping the Spain?Switzerland game.  I love the Spain game over 2 1/2.  I am taking Belgium but i think that is a tossup.  Belgium are without their top scorer it appears and they did not look good in last game.  The best game is Spain and Switzerland from a competitive standpoint.  Spain may be the best offense in the tournament and the best ball control team.  But their defense is not very good.  The Swiss are far under rated.  The Ukies are going to get boiled in Kraut. England have too much for them.  Sterling and Kane they have no answer for.

    You were almost right there Rick, you called the 4 but got the 1 wrong, good prediction though. England  keep their no goals conceded clean sheet. Up next, Denmark at Wembley on Wednesday.

    I do hope that England will beat Ukraine, with a clean sheet hopefully. I wouldn't predict a score though, just going to keep my fingers crossed this won't be an easy game.

    Me too. Ukraine up next on Saturday. Fantastic result. However, no surprise we started to play when Grealish came on? Coincidence? 

    Fancy our chances in Rome on Saturday. Gonna start planning.

    Yeah, Grealish made all the difference, such a great player. Pleased that Kane got on the score sheet too, he does need to get his finger out a bit more though, his touches of the ball where barely into double figures when he scored. Have to say well done England.

    Im going to put back another Guinness!!!  Great win.  I expect Sweden to be the opponent on Saturday.  England should beat them.  But they are tough to score on. Spain and Switzerland is a great game  I think Spain has too much offense and will control the play  Ill take Spain in a high scoring game.  Belgium and Italy is to tough to call. Toss up.  What say ye Chill?  Oh, by the way  SOUTHGATE!!!!!  :bravo:🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

    Ukraine will be a tough opponent on Saturday, as would Sweden have been, fingers crossed.

  14. I’m gobsmacked, England beat Germany in a knockout tournament for the first time since 1966. No goals yet conceded, I’m not getting my hopes up just yet, one step at a time.

    England can beat Germany.  Germany had the one big game vs Portugal.  They were huge favorites yesterday and tied Hungary and were lucky to escape with a tie.  I have watched both of them play and I do believe its close to a toss up but I would give England a small edge to beat them. 

    I don't fancy England's chances, they may possibly draw (tie), of course I'd love it if they won. Anyway, if you want to put money on this game put it on Germany to win on penalties.

    I fell asleep 5 minutes into the second half. Woke up at 10.30 with a half a glass of red and  half a Joint in the tray. Dull as fuck as per usual. No inspiration or quality in midfield or up front. We will be humiliated in the next round, whoever we play 

    You missed the Jordan Henderson goal then, unfortunately chalked off for offside. I managed to stay awake, only because I fell asleep for half an hour or so watching the six o'clock news. I'm with you on the humiliation in the next game, we may be lucky if we get Hungary, bur The Germans, French, or Portuguese, no chance.

  17. Well I got that one wrong, England group winners, really didn't expect that, with no goals conceded, only two goal scored though.

    Mustn't be negative be negative about the next game but it'll be either Germany, France, Portugal or Hungary, all difficult games.

    Anyway, we'll see.

    I can wipe my arse with about a quarter of an inch of parlay tickets thanks to those fucking French pricks.  How the hell do they not win vs Hungary?  Unreal  I had them on all my tickets but two and Spain finished me off.  LOL.  Back to the drawing board. I really am afraid of this game vs the Czechs.  They look better than usual and the Brits look bad.  I just do not know why come are in the lineup. Hell, if they let Kane try and outrun guys down the field, why not put Vardy back in ?  Sterling can run.  Kane?  Not so much. Not like the damned French.  He couldn't outrun that Scotsman.  Time to take a hard look at this lineup and coach

    Which Brits Rick, England, Scotland or Wales, at the moment I'm looking at Scotland joining Wales in the last sixteen. We English have little chance of overcoming the Czhecs, we'll be on our way home Wednesday morning and manager Gareth "Waistcoat" Southgate will be looking for another job. Like CP said he hasn't got a clue.

    My copy arrived last Thursday. Ugly cover and inapt title If you ask me 🤨, but for the rest very pleased with it. No disturbing micro pauzes between tracks (like on their last couple of EV clones, LA Forum 75 and Osaka 71). Wanton Song and No Quarter have AUD patches. The tour program  is blurry though. Older boot reproductions were better IMO. 

    Micro pauses, sounds like evidence of an MP3 source to me.
