  1. It seems like it's used more as "completely" or "totally" in the UK, whereas the article addresses its use as "very." It's funny, because when I hear someone say, "That's quite good," to my ears it sounds kind of English in an archaic way-- and that makes sense since so often we Americans like to imagine British people mostly being from the year 1915 or so. Imagine what, I took this photo last year in London
  2. I see your Little, and raise you a Ranking:
  3. 2F degrees tonight, winter from frozen hell will not end
  4. Batman Begins is his best film, IMO.
  5. Making the assumption this isn't an Operation Yewtree sting, and she isn't an eX-Man, then Hell yeah! Who is she? ex-man.... scary, eh? be careful out there, gents!
  6. Jones has to be first in Wales and maybe the US....I'm gonna guess Williams
  7. Doing punditry work for FOX sports CL matches in the US now. Already making the other guys look worse than they already do!
  8. I've heard things and read things about how some clubs are rightly or wrongly affiliated or associated with a variety of labels. For instance, I've heard that the following clubs are considered "middle class": Arsenal Aston Villa Fulham QPR Chelsea And that these clubs have the following religion tag: Everton- Catholic Liverpool- Protestant ^^^Which seems counter-intuitive to me, I thought Liverpool and Celtic have like an unofficial brotherhood or something Chelsea-Protestant Spurs- Jewish Politics: Newcastle- Left Wing Both Manchester clubs- Left Wing Other than the Spurs-Jewish thing, which seems to be universally accepted as fact, what do you think about these other things? Total rubbish scraped from the bottom of the internet, or is there some validity to some of it? Are there other English clubs that you associate with class, religion or politics?
  9. Great show. I grew up watching it with my dad, that and Barney Miller, lol. Archie Bunker is probably the greatest American sitcom character of all time.
  10. And Niese! He's always pretty reliable. Not huge K's, but he never seems to get roughed up. Good late round pick, IMO.
  11. Crazy bad luck. It's simply amazing how fragile baseball players are. Darvish done. Cliff Lee. And the freak accidents too. It's just totally bizarre. So, my fantasy league drafted last night, so much fun. So intense. You'll be pleased to know that I targeted and drafted Jacob deGrom. This is my full squad: Yan Gomes Cle - C David Ortiz Bos - 1B Dee Gordon Mia - 2B Josh Donaldson Tor - 3B Hanley Ramírez Bos - SS Andrew McCutchen Pit - OF Corey Dickerson Col - OF A.J. Pollock Ari - OF Justin Morneau Col - 1B Marlon Byrd Cin - OF Jake Arrieta ChC - SP Alex Wood Atl - SP,RP Jacob deGrom NYM - SP Phil Hughes Min - SP Huston Street LAA - RP Santiago Casilla SF - RP Francisco Rodríguez Mil - RP LaTroy Hawkins Col - RP Ervin Santana Min - SP Danny Duffy KC - SP,RP BENCH: Martín Prado Mia - 2B,3B,OF Brandon Crawford SF - SS Mike Leake Cin - SP Jonathon Niese NYM - SP Drew Pomeranz Oak - SP,RP

  13. Also the writing and dialogue on 30 Rock was so sharp and fast paced, that the laughs just kept piling up until the commercial break. Compare the writing on 30 Rock to something like Friends, and it is striking just how terrible most sitcoms were/are. It takes a great one to put those others in their proper place.
  14. The Simpsons and Family Guy when they were good were belly splitting funny.
  15. You can't say that today! ha, forgot its st patricks day having grown up in and around boston, i'll be happy to keep forgetting it, frankly
  16. By all accounts though, Meppel sounds like a total bore fest. Brosna can't be much better either...
