Top, top notch

4.5 Belfast Mas out of 5 North of Ireland Acronyms

Up there with Train Spotting IMHO. Deserves more exposure. Cracking film.

Just watched it. Bloody good. Blew my mind seeing after-the-fact that it was based on a true story with some of the real life personalities playing themselves.

@taniwharugby never trust anyone with a surname for a first name.

On first season of both these shows.
Both pretty good.

I also say the highlight of whole trip may just of been I went to the Rugby School , the place where it all started. Women in the shop there took me over to their museum and gave me a bit of tour as she seemed to think I was a rugby nutter. Also got a pic of me on their field, a big nono generally, as you not meant to even be in school grounds if not a pupil etc, she just said tell security man I said it ok. You can't even just go in and watch a game of rugby there when they playing, as it for the school only!

Even played there.

Once watched a game between two private schools, Radley & Oundle (lady I was dating at the time had her son at Radley). Had a great time and was made really welcome at the after-game drinks.

Genuine rugby fans who'd slot right in with any other group of rugby fans.

What was the name of that famous Russian composer who left music to work as a barista?
Chai, obviously.

@Victor-Meldrew I didn't think we had it so loud you'd hear it in the next bay!

Merry Xmas all, writing less as drinking more

@antipodean I think that's describing how I'm not actually Sagittarius?

Anyone have opinions of the strengths and weaknesses of Grok? (it is now free to use)

is netting a option

James Lucas' "War on the Eastern Front"

Overall it was a good read, parts were interestingly told, other parts, less so.

I knew about this part of the war, but didnt realise the scale of it.

Any recommendations on active speakers (amplifier in the speakers) for TV or a PC around US$200 to 300?

I want something for my TV for good stereo sound, with clear midrange for dialogue etc. For hifi I have to use headphones, least I piss off my neighbours too much.
