  2. Maybe one of these days, we can have an legit North American Villa meet up. (With invitations extended to the global VT community, of course). You could all fly into Boston, and I'll book a few hotel rooms in town for the VT horde. Depending on when it happens, chances are 1 of our 5 teams will be playing. So we could pile into Fenway Park, The TD Garden, or Gillette Stadium, then take the coach we've rented to Providence, R.I. for some skanky strip club action. Back on the bus, we continue to head south to Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut, the biggest resort casino in the world. And just as sleazy as any other. After the casino we head to NYC. On the bus I reveal the sandwich bag full of cocaine I had stashed under my seat. So we all hit the White Dragon with a vengeance and get to Manhattan just in time for last call at this funky bar I know in the East Village. The round is on me, by the way. If any of you savages wants to go see a Rangers, Knicks Mets or Yankees game, I'll be at the hotel bar with the massage therapist I hired off Craigslist. UTV
  3. Was Cheers really popular over there? Cheers is corny now, but at the time, it could be a pretty funny show I guess. NBC made some pretty good shows in the 80's. They did alright with Seinfeld and Friends in the 90's too. But I don't get why so many Brits thought Friends was funny. It was **** stupid, vapid, insipid mediocrity.
  4. Chrissie Hynde could write a tune. Very cool lyrics to this old classic. Always loved this song. I found a picture of you, oh oh oh oh What hijacked my world that night To a place in the past We've been cast out of? Oh oh oh oh Now we're back in the fight We're back on the train Oh, back on the chain gang A circumstance beyond our control, oh oh oh oh The phone, the TV and the news of the world Got in the house like a pigeon from hell, oh oh oh oh Threw sand in our eyes and descended like flies Put us back on the train Oh, back on the chain gang The powers that be That force us to live like we do Bring me to my knees When I see what they've done to you But I'll die as I stand here today Knowing that deep in my heart They'll fall to ruin one day For making us part I found a picture of you, oh oh oh oh Those were the happiest days of my life Like a break in the battle was your part, oh oh oh oh In the wretched life of a lonely heart Now we're back on the train Oh, back on the chain gang
  5. Random history type question for yuz- When you think of British Colonial America, do you think Boston, New York, Phily, Virginia...or do you not really view it that narrowly?
  6. My perception of things has always made me think the one city most Brits would have no interest in would be Boston.
  7. I don't know, he never knocked on my door.
  8. Some call it "The Maqroll Effect".
  9. How cynical of you, my good fellow.
  10. I love Boston. People think we are touchy and rude and some sort of monolithic Irish Catholic amalgam of Boston Guy stereotypes, with the thick accent, the sports fanaticism, the whole cop/criminal/loyalty/heritage/neighborhood/snarky humor thing. And all of that is real, but it's so much more...the Hollywood portrayal of Boston is pretty ridiculous, actually. I'd love to see films made in Boston that reflect the whole city. The black community in Boston dates back to colonial days. But you wouldn't know it from Hollywood films. There's a huge Cape Verdean community in Boston, as well as Vietnamese, Dominican, Central American. I'd love to see their lives on film instead of the same old Irish South Boston bullshit over and over. And **** the Dropkick Murphy's
  11. Purple tributes from around the world tonight, very cool!
  12. Well, looks like Prince liked his pain meds. I always thought he was kind of straight laced. These **** opioids are a real word removed.
  13. What I like about Prince is that he stayed true to Minnesota. Most people from a cold flyover state would get the house in Malibu or Calabasas. And who knows, maybe he had property out there. But it's always seemed like he only really lived in Minnesota. Still can't find any news about how he died.
  14. if its ellison ill go beat off in the middle of the street like a monkey
  15. There was a report last week that he was rushed to hospital after an emergency plane landing, I wonder what exactly happened. Very sad, he was a true original, a great talent. RIP
  16. Everton are landing with a real thud, and probably looking at us and saying there but for the grace of God... Martinez should have done better with these players.
  17. Why would Lerner care what a buyer's board might look like, especially now?
  18. I was at a funeral today and bumped into some friends I haven't seen in years. One guy has a 20 year old son. These mid forty years are strange. For me it's a strange mix of still feeling young, but also truly feeling middle aged in many ways. Perfect example is this kid at work who is about 27 starts talking about his basketball prowess. So I challenged him to a game, talking a ton of shit myself He won by a single point and my back was **** up for the next three weeks. Negotiating newly discovered physical limitations is a bitch. And I knock on wood I'm not a cripple. /gettingoldrantover
