Departed was so good for 98% of its running time, and then the ending goes and sucks sh*t, completely ruins the filum. On par with the ending for Game of Thrones.

I've never driven one, nor will I in all likelihood, (not that interested tbh), but I'll always have a bit of a soft spot for the Countach (looks-wise), still looks amazing to me. I understand it is an extremely uncomfortable car to drive in, I suppose not surprisingly.

DTH and Shane

Amongst the current lot / active players, maybe Radradra? But plenty of candidates

So many good names on this thread though, it's been fun as i read through the posts - "oh yeah, that guy was amazing! holy sh*t, that next player was so fun to watch, so good!"

Arrows have signed Rob Howley onto their coaching staff, in a consulting role. He's also joining the Rugby Canada coaching staff. Good signing imho for both outfits, and hopefully lets him get his career back on track.

Henry Cavill would’ve been a good choice Yes,agreed. Thought he did well as the bad guy in one of the recent Mission Impossible films, which could have translated well as a darker Bond. Imho. Also did the debonair spy thing well in The Man from UNCLE (underrated film imo; would love them to do anot...

My wife can't load the dishwasher properly, she never loads it in the most optimal way. Always lots of wasted space: bowls on the top rack, no orderly placement of plates, other times bowls or cups are put in completely random places. Frustrating as hell. I find myself continually rearranging the c...

Not really an autobiography, but I enjoyed Dallaglio's Tales From the Back of the Bus - short stories from various players about funny and/or interesting things that happened to them on and off the field. Not end-to-end hilarity by any means but a few gems in there

Sad about the CFL cancelation but it also shows why MLR is not going to work either in this climate. The CFL unlike the NFL are reliant on gameday revenues to help meet the bills. The CFL gets a lot more money from TV rights than MLR does or will for the foreseeable future. Yes, agreed - bums on se...

Hopefully the Wolfpack setback (demise?) can be to the Arrows' benefit. Maybe a few of those fans will make the switch. Anecdotally more than a few of the WP fans I've spoken to were new to rugby of any kind Agreed that there is a need for another Canadian team from the point of view of expanding ru...

I think flying and travel will return in robust health, as it did after 9-11 say, after the conditions you laid out occur ( (i) a vaccine, or (ii) a couple of years of learning to live with and mitigate the virus through a variety of methods). People will want to travel, and the economy will grow a...

A cautionary tale for school opening enthusiasts: Confident it had beaten the coronavirus and desperate to reboot a devastated economy, the Israeli government invited the entire student body back in late May. Within days, infections were reported at a Jerusalem high school, which quickly mushroomed...

Gavin Evans, welsh centre in the mid aughts (i have to tell you that as you've no idea who he is). Made some rather rosy projections about how many caps he'd garner! More than once, too. In hindsight, I don't recall why I thought he was going to be a superstar but there you have it

The German authorities are digging up an allotment near Hanover in what is being reported as a dramatic development. I hope they find her or her remains, so her family can find closure.

Could they change the logo to a Celtic / Brythonic-type Chief (or is the proper term Chieftain in this case)?

Very enjoyable game, but tough luck (again) Chiefs supporters!

I thought they might be on the way to a hiding when the Blues scored those first two tries in quick succession, heads might go down, etc., but impressive how they fought their way back in it, took the lead and almost brought it home.

Southwestern mainland BC and southern Vancouver Island in BC From Toronto, they refer to the area around it as 'The Golden Horseshoe'. Well I'd say just outside of that is 'rugby country' in Ontario.

Pretty disappointed with MLR’s offseason (Raptors out, a 2nd team named after a yet to be released cocktail, non-sensical draft) but the news that Hawaii has a legit shot at a team is pretty cool.

A former classmate who has done very very well, now facebook friend, posted a video of himself where he soloed (solo'd?) on a wakeboard behind his (driverless) powerboat.

Very sad news indeed. While I love the G,B&U soundtrack a great deal, over the years I've come to prefer the Mission soundtrack, or at least the three main themes / songs in it.

PPS. For sense of foreboding and how they shot it, I really rated the charge of the Dothraki at the Undead Army.
