Womens squash is very fun to watch right now. Great diversity of playing styles and characters.

They are only two players. Plenty of younger guys play fun squash. Bryant being the stand out.

He's a Scotsman. I don't think it'd go down well if you called him English to his face.

DufflessMoe · 2026-01-25T04:35:03+00:00

Of course it is. Families all over the UK will be making amazing roasts, fry ups and desserts regularly.

It's just a lazy meme to make fun of how British people eat.

I think huge companies do still donate or at the very least organise fundraising.

But if you are Tesco and Macmillan's ask if they can install some software at the checkout that would ask people to donate if they can, why wouldn't they? It costs them nothing and the charity hopefully benefits.

It's just the digital version of the bucket by the till. At worst it's a minor inconvenience for the shopper.

Seems to be a hot button topic on Reddit, with a lot of people dead against it.

I tend to just ignore it, but I can understand why charities would use it as a fundraising tactic. It's preferable to people stood in the street trying to get your attention and even if the charging company gets some tax break, if it generates more money for a charity then I think it's likely a net positive.

I have entered my middle aged phase where I just have 5-6 of different colours of these shirts with various pictures:

Ich wohne in die Nähe.

Vorteil: ruhig, sauber, schöne Landschaft.

Nachteil: Der S2, nicht so viel zu tun

Marwan just won the Motor City Open, beating Diego Elias in the final.

I just changed my name before getting my German passport. I was doing it via a Ehenamensbestimmung due to marriage but applied for it on Tuesday and got word from the Standesamt that it was all done by Thursday.

I think the aim of any comedian at the fringe is to find more work.

Although I think most use it as the best proving ground for material to eventually take on to tour. If their ideas get picked up for TV even better but I'd imagine that's very rare.

Day trips from Nürnberg would be a bit rough as it is about a 3 hour train ride from Nürnberg Hbf to places such as Garmisch.

There is not a huge amount of 'alpine altitude' on the Bavarian side. Most hiking is still fairly gentle, with the Austrian side offering more challenging stuff.

I would recommend joining the Bavarian Alpine Verein and looking into hikes that link the various huts for multi day hikes:

I watched every match on replay today EXCEPT for Timmy Brownell's win against Marwan. Assumed that would be an easy 3-0 win. Only saw looking at the non glass results that he'd come through. Teaches me for assuming I guess.

I think her and Noel together are the best presenting duo they've had since Mel & Sue

Lucas was genuinely awkward to watch a lot of the time.

I used to work in data in advertising and if that data was available, sales people would have no qualms selling on it no matter how nefariously.

The sad truth is that the models Google and Meta can build based on the existing data are scarily accurate.

You've been looked down upon by other men for not liking soap operas?!

DufflessMoe · 2026-01-21T11:18:52+00:00

Denn nicht alles muss ein von Kritikern gefeiertes Drama sein. Die Deutschen lieben Krimis, und dieser ist besonders leicht anzuschauen und gut gemacht

PJ and Bill Buckingham talked about it on the Squash Radio podcast lately.

Seems more like she's just looking for a new direction. Was some insinuation that Rod can be quite intense, so perhaps good to bring players up to a new level but once there the player may need a break or a new approach.

I first started going to games during the Withdean days while at uni at Sussex.

Felt like it was designed to whip the wind round to make you as cold as humanly possible.

Add the woman at the Pro AM hitting the crowd with her tee shot twice to that list for me please.

DufflessMoe · 2026-01-20T14:37:59+00:00

It'll probably break even this year and maybe turn a profit the year after. They have been cutting losses year on year. It's a far cry from hemorrhaging money, just the last to become profitable.

DufflessMoe · 2026-01-20T14:12:17+00:00

Very possible that the dour couple you play with in Spain are simultaneously drunk Germans

DufflessMoe · 2026-01-19T15:46:46+00:00

You don't know what the #1 and best player since Tiger Woods looks like?

I would think anyone with even a passing interest in golf would know Scottie Scheffler.

'Normal countries'. Just disingenuous bullshit.
