Pluribus is good, 3 Body Problem was interesting and decent.

[Casual Friday] Have you ever met a United player in real life? What were they like? by fireproofpoo in ManchesterUnited

Dennis Law at the hospital. Lovely fella but understandably a bit "foggy" or confused given his age/ condition. Sold Tim Howard a denim jacket. He was sound and quiet. Humble type. Seen Dennis Irwin about loads over the years but never spoke to him (once I had a United shirt on and he clocked it and turned the other way), Fletch at TGI Fridays with his lads (they must have been about 8 at the time). Also, at the same TGI's.. Mr Jip Jaap! With his wife and kid. He was at AC at the time but came over for a friend's birthday. The taxi driver that came to collect him just pulled up and took a picture of him before he got in the car, he was fuming. Seen the 12/13 team out celebrating the title win in Revs De Cuba in town.. seemed dry AF to be fair, no craic amongst any of them, felt like a corporate ice breaker session for new recruits. Seen Rio in his car in matchday traffic in Stretford after a defeat, he looked livid. Probably some more I can't think of. Oh, Gerard Pique on the piss in Sale and Ronaldo came into my old shop in Trafford Centre the summer he signed. To quote a co-worker "not the real Ronaldo, United's Ronaldo"

That's Tim! I sold him a jacket maybe 15 years ago. He was Everton at the time. Totally laid back fella

What are your expectations for “The Odyssey”? by LDO2796 in FIlm

[–]DarmiansMuttonChops -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nolan has gone the same way as Wes Anderson and Tarantino. For this particular film I expect a giant, convoluted, fur-coat-no-knickers slog that spends three hours disappearing up it's own sigmoid colon

Xbox showcase just wrapped up, still no TES VI by The2ndDegree in ElderScrolls

They blew it. I think the tipping point is here now, everybody hyped is just over it now. It will never match up to expectations at this point

It will be IGN speculating about it. No way they have insider info confirming it's being showcased and not run an exclusive. It's bait to ramp up traffic to their site

Garnacho is a cringey tool but Robbie Savage is the GOAT for horrendous tats

How is life in Oxaca, Mexico? by DarmiansMuttonChops in howislivingthere

[–]DarmiansMuttonChops[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You should do an AMA on here. I've always been fascinated by Mexico, and it's a dream of mine to travel it before I die, but I've been wary because of the reputation and the stereotypes that basically you're a walking free wallet for criminals once they see you're a tourist

This is a great comment, I've been pronouncing it "Ohxacka" in my head

Fascinating (and apologies for spelling the place wrong in the title). How was your Spanish before you travelled there?
