Well, that's the Giants season over. What could go wrong when you hire a head coach with no head coach experience. Seeing Tom Coughlin trying to rally the troops at half time was just a sad reminder of what a class act he was winning the SB finals in the 2007 and 2011 seasons. But all the while...

So much anger and hate in the world today. This atrocity today and another 5 innocent people killed recently in Norway. Sadly I have got used to seeing extreme violence used in the USA by people against others whose views and opinions they disagree with. I am sure most people had hoped that...

I've always like Mark Twains quotation "I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it"

That was my Mum's view, Well you have to believe in something. I respected her beliefs and anybody else's but to just take something on blind faith without questioning it just seems very strange to me. I believe it was invented because people don't want to accept death is the final curtain and...

So true

Scott Evil: Why don't you just shoot him now? I mean, I'll go get a gun. We'll shoot him together. It'll be fun. Bang! Dead. Done. Dr. Evil: No, Scott. I have an even better idea. I'm going to place him in an easily escapable situation involving an overly elaborate and exotic death.

This is an interesting piece about time millionaires in today's Guardian and confirms what a lot of posters have said. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/oct/12/time-millionaires-meet-the-people-pursuing-the-pleasure-of-leisure I liked the bit about the guy who was a civil servant...

I have a Kiwi friend living in London. She is currently trying to get back to NZ for Christmas. Their MIQ (Managed Isolation and Quarantine) is incredibly tough at the minute, even if you a NZ citizen. She told me she is currently at about 14,500 in the queue and unlikely to be back for...

Stopped taking Bond seriously when Blofeld turned up in drag in Diamonds are Forever

After a 1-4 start and a little over a month into the season the Giants season is looking like it is virtually over. Defense was shocking but at least Saquon's injury is only a sprain and not a fracture, Daniel Jones also suffered a concussion. We looked like we didn't belong in the same league...

My sentiments as well. Craig always looks like he'd rather be somewhere else, Moore always looked like he was having a blast, and that came across on the screen. Craig is great at cynical and world weary, but really can't do stylish humor or sophistication IMHO.

For balance it's in the Telegraph as well https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/09/25/patients-face-delays-prescriptions-lorry-driver-shortage-hits/

Well I always like to see the Yankees humiliated ! In the NL wild card all the pundits are going for the Dodgers, but they picked the Yankees over the Red Sox, so what do they know? So I'm going for an upset with the Cardinals taking it. In the Championship I'm going for the Giants over the...
