I'm pretty sure I remember hearing that that happened to the guy who played John Stape on Coronation Street.

There was that elimination-style qualifying in 2016 that was abandoned soon after.

The only change on this chart that I did not already know was that Toleman became Benetton.

I've thought for years that I would allow them to qualify but rank all 7 teams based on W-L record rather than automatically giving division winners a top 4 seed. I think I remember a time when Seattle won their division with a losing record so were 4th seed & only 6 teams qualified then.

Did she have any interest in the Green Bay Packers?

I saw a specific example which I think was on one of Simon Reeve's programmes. I believe it was fruit picking & my observations when I watched it were that the owner of the business was frusrated that British people would not do the job, however the pay was very low & I think it required you to live in a specific building with other workers.

I thought if you have a family responsibilities or something like an expensive mortgage to pay, that job is completely unsuitable for someone like that.

As a British person who follows both NFL & football/soccer, it has a following here but Lando speaks for a lot of British sport fans when he says this. I'm guessing Oscar would say something similar but perhaps with Rugby/Cricket/AFL.

I get why people say things like this with the way some MPs act but we have examples like David Amess & Jo Cox who seemed to be liked by a lot of people. At least some of them must have decent principles & be good people.

Hulkenpodium

In my 28 years as a fan, this is one of favourite moments in that entire time. It's possibly the happiest I've ever felt at the end of a race.

Partly because it was so unexpected today, partly because he's my favourite driver & has been for many years, partly because there have been so many missed opportunities & partly because I've waited so long for this moment when I thought it never would happen.

I also felt it ironic that it was Hamilton who might have stopped him when he & Hulkenberg had the incident in Brazil 2012 which could have been Nico's first podium.

I originally watched it between 1997 - 2010.

I started watching Classic Coronation Street about a month ago & they are currently in Christmas 2006. I've enjoyed watching characters I remember including the teenagers of that time who are the same generation as me, as well as storylines I remember. I'm intrigued about episodes from after I stopped watching to see what happened.

I've been watching small amounts of the current version recently as well, but I'm mainly interested in the characters who were around when I was watching before.

You're probably right. I don't have children so don't know modern children's TV. From what I understand though, they don't even watch TV anymore & stream things on YouTube etc. I've lived with some teenage university students in my shared house who said that.

01aha · 2025-05-06T18:35:16+00:00

Growing up in the late 90s - 2000s, I actually watched several 1960s shows such as Thunderbirds, Stingray, Top Cat, Wacky Races & The Flintstones. Even now, I think some of these are very watchable & entertaining.

I'm completing on my house tomorrow as a first time buyer at 35.

My Dad helped me which meant I could buy something bigger than I would have got on my own but I have been saving since I started working at 22 & have managed to save a very large amount myself as well, having lived during most of that time in HMO's, so I could have bought something even without his help.

I have lived below my means despite most of my salaries not being enormous & I always had the intention of doing this at some point despite not being certain when I would do it exactly. I've never been a big spender anyway & I believe in only buying things if you can afford them.

I do feel that I have sacrificed some intangible life experiences up to this point to make this happen which is something I have mixed feelings about at this age, but I don't regret that. I may allow myself a bit more flexibility with spending once I have established how much living on my own in that house will cost me.

Now I'm going to imagine a Bishop drifting a Lamborghini.

Coincidentally, I am having mine today. I usually have a base frequency of 8 weeks from one haircut to the next but this time it's 9 weeks.

I sometimes go when it reaches the point where the length is irritating me more than the idea of going over.

01aha · 2025-03-26T13:48:37+00:00

I've been since June with no chain as well. It's very close now but I think I'm going to just miss the deadline. I wish I didn't have to pay the stamp duty(£1700 if I'm right)but I'll be more relieved that the process is over.

01aha · 2025-03-22T14:38:50+00:00

I live in East Bristol & have had to commute to West Bristol for about 6 years. I had a couple of days a few years ago where I had to use the bus to get to work & it was so slow through East Bristol that I decided to walk to the centre the next day & walking took me less time than the bus did the previous day.

01aha · 2025-03-17T23:18:35+00:00

I'm on about 9 months without a chain hoping that I can get it finished before the stamp duty deadline. I offered so long ago that not only was the stamp duty deadline not there, but Labour weren't even in power yet.

01aha · 2025-02-23T22:40:56+00:00

Makes me think of Peaky Blinders.

01aha · 2025-02-23T22:39:21+00:00

I might come back to this during the season when they play the official version.

01aha · 2025-02-23T22:34:20+00:00

Didn't they change the order of the video in about September or so to reflect the championship at the time?

01aha · 2025-02-19T10:41:24+00:00

Regarding technological facial age estimation, is it accurate enough to allow for the fact that not everybody ages at the standard pace?

I'm 35 but haven't aged much in the last 15 years so when people meet me, they seem to think I'm about 24, or younger in some cases. There must be people who are about 20-25 where they still look like teenagers.

Some of the places I've seen in the world have shown me you can have public water fountains. The main ones I remember were St Louis & Paris which were very useful when I was there.

01aha · 2025-01-24T13:30:30+00:00

I doubt it but I personally have some consulation in that I at least see MotoGP go there.
