     I'm not saying Manchester's the best place in the world, but what I'm saying is there's bits of it that I really miss. Like, last Sunday, right? When I met up with Ricky. We had spaghetti bolognese, which was all right. And then I said to him, I said, "I need some soil." So, I'm like, "Where" - you can't see these shops in London.  Manchester, there's loads of decent hardware shops. Here, you know, if you want a panini and a latte or whatever, you can't move for 'em. But for soil, I had to go virtually - how many miles away from me to carry out soil home and stuff?


    Also Manchester is the home to congress tarts. Just, I love 'em, It's me fav- I can't get 'em in London

    I read that and hear high pitched wailing laughter in my head

    II'd skip Manchester.  There's honestly not much to see or do there.  Much rather go to York or the Lake District for a few days.

    I'll say one thing about Manchester - Curry Mile in Rusholme blows away Brick Lane in London. But they don't have Gymkhana.

  3. I know you've been to London 4x already but have you been that time of year? It's a different London than say April or the summer.  You'll have Christmas markets, concerts, pantomimes, shows... Hyde Park and Kew Gardens are magnificent with their lights and decor.  Oxford Street's festive.  It feels like a different city.

    If you have your heart set on day trips though you have Cambridge, Oxford, or Bath.  They're better during the warm months than the winter though. Bath's one of my favorite cities in the world - You have to be slow paced.  Just live.  Ironically much like Paris. Cambridge, you could go punting but dress warmly.  All three of those cities you could spend a full day walking around and sightseeing and make it back to London for a late dinner (keep in mind the sun sets around 4:30p if that matters to you).

    I find it interesting that these sort of fly-by-night Chinese entities can afford all this.  And I am assuming they engage in whatever SEO Amazon does besides this.

    Then again, they might all just be fronts for a large organization.

    1.) You would be surprised how much money these guys make. Even the small players at this table make millions a year.

     

    2.) Yes lots of them are splinter companies of larger entities.

    I chickened out and only ate one. Was plump and tasty; if I stop posting have Imma erase my history 

    I went yesterday to an asian ayce. Straight up noped past the oysters and beelined for the sashimi.  Ma La chili hotpot had the same effect though.

  6. Knew this jump was coming because this was the first time they publicly came out with the number, but have mercy 161 missing.  Among those four, my friend's cousin's family.  They were camping.  The cousin, cousin's wife, their son, and daughter.

    Frog aggy just took out Zverev. I know he’s aggy because Fowler has mentioned it about a million times.

    I had no idea he was aggy.  I was surprised sasha couldn't figure out his serve in the ad court. His toss was a huge tell.

    Sherman > Gardner > Fineman

    In terms of looks it's sherman > fineman > gardner but in terms of crazy it's the other way around.

    That skeet is pointing out that Teslas are depreciating faster than (as least a couple) other EVs. It's taking a mildly interesting fact and making into a "Elon is destroyed" internet moment.

    No I think it's referencing when Elon said Teslas will be an appreciating asset.

  10. We just had one of the dryest Junes this century but strangely enough we didn't have any days over 100.  In fact we haven't hit 100 since May.  That's unexpected.

    I do also drive by the Pflugerville ice facility weekly and flip them the bird while calling them all fucking losers.  

    Where is it?

    Since I started this thread I’ll just remind everyone that if you don’t pay your deductible on an insurance claim in Texas you are committing insurance fraud in Texas. The legal and correct way to engage a roofer is to get as much high quality roofing as you can for the price the insurance company gives you for the claim. 

    Did you get your roof figured out?
