  1. I've hung up. At least some companies give you the option to have them call you back, but not these New Hampshire highway toll thieves. ****.
  2. I know. And having worked in the service industry my whole life, I'm sympathetic to people who work the phones. My anger isn't directed at them, but the corporate dickheads who are too cheap to have a properly staffed C.S. apparatus in place.
  3. And to make matters more annoying, the muzak they play makes my head explode
  4. Wait times exceeding 15 minutes when dealing with customer service over the phone is just unacceptable. **** OFF
  5. Derek Rae was the announcer for New England Revolution games in the 90s. He affected an American accent, and a bad one. You could tell that he was under instruction to do so.
  6. Americans, at least TV news people here, pronounce Qatar as Cudder. And most Americans pronounce Iraq and Iran as Eye-rack and Eye-RAN. Pisses me off.
  7. Yeah, that's a shame @FollyfootBoxing is very tribal and people like to see themselves personified in the ring. I was in a jam packed bar to watch the MacGregor-Merriweather fight and all the white people were cheering for the white guy and all the black people were cheering for the black guy. Nothing necessarily wrong with that guess, but it can easily be taken too far and get ugly, obviously.
  8. He was a local hero when I was growing up. We loved Marvelous Marvin Hagler.
  9. Shame this was moved, we would've killed them in January.
  10. Hagler was robbed of that Leonard fight.
  11. This looks very promising. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2021/mar/13/it-blew-my-mind-can-psychedelic-drugs-cure-addiction-depression
  12. Police in the USA accept neo Nazis! There are plenty of good police, but far too many of them have mistreated people for way too long. I'm talking about American police, but I'm sure you've had plenty of homegrown police belligerence and misconduct besides this killer cop. Unfortunately the slogans last summer to "Defund the Police" are problematic. "Reform the police" should have been the slogan. Black Lives Matter is another terrible slogan. I support the movement, but the name is clumsy and gives the opposition an opening, just like "defund". They need a better public relations arm.
  13. Tatis Jr signs a 14 year $340m contract extension. He's 22. Unreal.
  14. Without Grealish we lose this
  15. Is it confirmed that he has a cracked rib?
  16. I've noticed that most British people pronounce MARTINEZ wrong- they place the accent on MAR and not TIN. It should be Mar-TEEN-ez, not MAR-tinez.
  17. My impression of the UK from over here is that there is more pressure to booze and banter than in the US.
  18. Life is looking good for 22 year old Fernando Tatis Jr. He just signed a 14-year, $340 million contract extension to play baseball for the San Diego Padres. I should've kept at the baseball.
