When I first started using Stub Hub in the States the tickets on sale were being sold at face value, now it's just another scalpers venue.

Just started watching the Sherlock series on iPlayer. Bloody good so far with "His Last Vow" and "A Scandal in Belgravia" being my favourite episodes so far, with so many twists and turns. The late Una Stubbs as Mrs Hudson pretty much steals every scene she's in. Only problem I've got is it's...

So there are a lot of black kids in QAnon. But, hey, what do I know I'm just a white, East Coast liberal

Most of this crazy shit seems to start in the US amongst the religious right wing loonies / white supremacists and then crosses the pond in a search for gullible / lonely / angry people. It seems all these cults are able to use social media to recruit / convert people without any...

After one of these gun incidents with multiple fatalities in the States where the gunman also killed himself I remember seeing a psychiatrist being interviewed about the event. He said that in the instances where the gunman kills himself it can make the situation even worse because it can mean...

Agreed, I remember watching the Red Sox play at Fenway Park and doing the tour. They had so much pride showing you round the oldest MLB stadium still in use

Unfortunately you get used to these gun shootings with multiple fatalities in the States but seeing it happen in a place like Plymouth is really shocking

Must have been a great game to have been at, and always nice to see the Yankees lose. A lot of Yankees fans now calling for manager Aaron Boone to be fired

Same as “route” can be pronounced either Root (Brit) or Rowt (US)

Very good in Sherlock

This. A lot of people would like to see this arrogant and entitled individual extradited and stand trial in a court in New York. It will never happen. In a somewhat similar case the British authorities have been trying for nearly two years to extradite Anne Sacoolas from the States in the case...

Big fan of this since I found it on iPlayer. Not sure if I'll bother with the CBS remake though https://www.denofgeek.com/tv/ghosts-us-remake-meet-the-american-versions-of-the-uk-characters/

What about "tortured soul" - seem to be a few of those about

A lot of talk about carrying ID, covid passports, medical records and CCTV yet millions of people seem more than happy to provide their DNA to genealogy companies like ancestry.com. With major data breeches common amongst commercial companies due to negligence / incompetence I would be far more...

The new lambda variant 'Potential threat to human society' https://www.newsweek.com/lambda-covid-variant-potential-threat-society-researchers-1616556?amp=1

That's pretty much my take on him. He was first and foremost a business man so he wouldn't really want to piss off anybody who was a potential customer or that he would need to work with. I would question whether he would have 'succeeded' in NYC if he hadn't been bailed out on many occasions by...

Isn't a lot of it just getting used to a new system. When all the restrictions came in after 9/11; no bottled water, no bottles of fluid over a certain size, shoes and socks off et. etc. a lot of people got their knickers in a twist. Now it's just another part of what travelers need to do if...

I wouldn't put it past some of the little old ladies I've seen in Brighton to start throwing their beer in the air as well

Most football games in the States let you take your beers back to your seat (with holder). I liked it from the point of view of being treated as an adult, but would agree that supporters getting up / sitting down is a distraction although it was mainly limited to half time and if you wanted to...
