re: Going to London this summer: what are the best pubs?

I second Ye Olde Cheshire Cheese.
Also, The Mayflower in Rotherhilde is worth visiting. They have a great Sunday Roast. Almost exclusively frequented by locals.

everyone fighting to save the pregnant mom and baby felt like old school ER there
Man, I almost couldn’t watch it. I was having severe er/Dr. Greene flashbacks. That er episode is one of the most tense and well done episodes of TV I’ve ever watched. I’m sure putting this in the finale was on purpose and in service to those of us that remember that episode of er. Letting us have a good outcome so we can come full circle and move on with our lives.
Also, has it been discussed that Digby is Skinny Pete from Breaking Bad?

A lesser suburb of New Iberia. :lol:
Seriously though, some of my best memories are visiting my grandmother in Jeanerette in the 70s.
My old man was from there. Dude was never really sick. When he was 79, I was telling someone that the reason he was never sick was that he grew up swimming in Bayou Teche. Literally the next fricking day he was diagnosed with pancake cancer and was dead less than 90 days later.

The town doctor is a black dude, so there ya go. Because if there was one thing the 1800's frontier had a lot of, it was highly educated black people practicing medicine and a bunch of really enthusiastic customers lined up to see them.
This was explored in the original series. Doc Baker hired a black doctor, trained as a surgeon, to help him. Of course, only Charles was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. The rest of the town shunned the new doc. Charles had to knock out an expectant father so the black surgeon could save the day and deliver his wife’s baby by c-section.
It was one of my favorite episodes.
If Charles is not the moral compass of this show, it will be stupid. I., for one will probably not watch. There’s no need for this show.

That’s why EPL matches are not insanely priced
In 2022 I went to the West Ham v. Wolves match in London.
Middle of the pitch, about 30 rows up cost me about £75. As I sat there, I couldn’t help but think that if I was at an NFL game, my seat would have cost $500.

I’ve passed 4 or 5 stones. None were bigger than 2mm.
Every single one had me on the floor in the fetal position for hours.
Good luck.

I hope this tournament is a complete fricking disaster, from ticket sales, to half empty stadiums, to travel, to logistics, to teams and players not being allowed into the country. I’m rooting for complete and utter chaos.
Madame Butterfly @ Baton Rouge River Center 4/11/26
Posted by LuckySo-n-So on 4/12/26 at 8:55 am
While you bogans were at home watching Hee Haw reruns and “golf,” I decided to take in Opera Louisiane’s one off production of Puccini’s Madame Butterfly.
I have to say that I was very surprised at the quality of the production. The set was beautiful. The lighting and stage craft were really well done. Did I think I was at The Met, or Vienna? No. But for Baton Rouge, it was quite charming. Most of the talent was brought in from other regional operas. The singing was very polished and professional.
The standouts were soprano Teresa Perotta as Cio Cio San/Madame Butterfly and mezzo-soprano Hilary Ginther as house servant Suzuki. Perotta’s vocals were soaring and nuanced. Not once did I hear a missed note. She is truly a star in the making. Her acting was top notch as well. Gunther, as Suzuki, was the standout, in my opinion. Her exquisite timbre and emotional display just stole the show. She got the largest round of applause during the curtain call, which was well deserved.
Once again, a wonderful production of Madame Butterfly. Not a single redneck or Cajun accent to be heard.
Teresa Perotta
Hilary Ginther
*One complaint is that the orchestra left a lot to be desired. Lots of clunky notes, especially the clarinets.

Man, I used to be really into it. I was known on the rant for my game photos. Starting about 2009, I collected about $15k in DSLR gear.
I hardly touch it anymore. Everything now is about mirrorless, not DSLR. Look into the Nikon Z series, or the Canon and Sony equivalents. I think Sony is regarded as one of the best.
The best thing you can do is physically hold a camera in your hand and see how it feels. That’s what sold me on Nikon. However…where the frick can you go to a store and hold a camera anymore? :lol:
Good luck. It’s a fun hobby. :cheers:

Idk if he'd leave right now. He'll basically win the league every year in Germany and he knows the grinder the PL is. He's also probably smart enough to know you don't want to be the guy following the guy. I'd love to see it but I think if it happens it'll be further down the line.
I’d love to see Vinny as skipper, but you are probably right. I think they already have their man in mind, but his name escapes me at the moment. I think the days of 3 titles in 4 or 5 years is over, unless City can find another KDB in his prime.

Since last week of November, I have been on four long trips (Vegas three times, L. A.) and “short” trips to Dallas and Houston. Saw my favorite comedian 4 times, saw Def Leppard, Santana, Blake Shelton, and Styx. Met Lucy Darling, Tape Face, and Angela White. Ate some great food. Visited the Walk of Fame. Met some great people. Trip to Dallas was Easter weekend.
Now, I have no trips planned or any to look forward to. Two more concerts (Alison Krauss & Bryan Adam’s/Pat Benatar) and that’s it. I feel like that meme of Pablo Escobar sitting on the swing.
Bummed doesn’t even begin to describe it.

Saw her on Graham Norton a year or so ago and instantly became a fan. Was very happy for her when she won her Grammy. “Messy” is a great song. Apparently it’s about the relationship between Young and her mother.

For about $30 +/- you can get a bottle of 12 Clones Pinot Noir, which is as good as any Pinot I’ve ever had.

He also played Maverick’s commanding officer in Top Gun.
He was never a slacker and did not suffer them lightly.
