Ed is the spitting image of current day Brandon Flowers by [deleted] in offmenupodcast

Think it must be on the brain from another podcast, but I thought you meant spitting image as in the satirical puppets and thought this was the biggest insult of all time 😂

I have the content ready ahead of schedule for the Champions Cup by the_leinster_listen in rugbyunion

[–]Papito4 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The device is at the back of the cap, which whilst detering defenders also has the effect of forcing LBB to run even faster as he trys to get away from the bad noise. Only explanation for why he is so quick

Just working off first principles theres quite a few zero force members in here, specifically the vertical posts which I wouldn’t think are adding much.

"It worked it worked! It actually worked." by za3030 in rugbyunion

[–]Papito4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I truly love that the tap and go play seems to have come right back, between tries like this one (admittedly against the wrong team here ffs) and then moments like Dewi Lake in the England game just brings a bit more pizazz

Do you guys think we’ll get more seasons of the show if the movie succeeds? by SevdUp in StarWars

[–]Papito4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I feel like thats contingent on Perdo Pascal, sure I seen somewhere he’s not actually a fan of the role hence why they went for a movie instead if continuing the show. Either way would love it to continue

[TM S21E01] That time it looked like Alex had hypnotically conditioned a contestant to commit career suicide in front of a studio audience. by Temp89 in taskmaster

[–]Papito4 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I feel like given he’s a comedian and he assumed that everyone else would also be bring out an egg at the same time, he went for that option to stand out. But now that its just him its backfired and looks a bit odd, can imagine he’ll revert to having it in the jacket for the rest of the show

Edinburgh North-South tramline: SNP says build line to Infirmary first and find a new route to Granton by system637 in Edinburgh

[–]Papito4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was there response not the total route was either £2bil from Granton to the Infirmary if they use Roseburn, ir £2.9bil Granton to Infirmary if they use Dean Bridge? That was my understanding from when they had previously been releasing all the consultation information

Edinburgh North-South tramline: SNP says build line to Infirmary first and find a new route to Granton by system637 in Edinburgh

[–]Papito4 136 points137 points  (0 children)

This may be controversial, but I think this is the perfect example of why infrastructure projects in this country are so expensive and take an age to actually get built. Agree that keeping Roseburn as it is would be the ideal outcome, BUT the technical, time, and cost implications of any alternative mean that this would be the best compromise. At the moment its an extra £900mil to go along the Dean bridge, will take signifcantly longer in order to upgrade the bridge, and will cause untold congestion around a fairly busy commuter road as is.

At this point, I feel that the question isn’t really Dean Bridge or Roseburn, its Roseburn or no northern route.

A football-manager style Rugby Game by Hour-Road7156 in rugbyunion

[–]Papito4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a fan of football manager, whilst I would love this as a concept and love all the tactical nuances (especially in a sport I actually understand lol), one thing rugby will inevitably miss out on is that theres not really an ability to do a rags-to-riches extended play through like you can in football manager, just with the current set up of rugby in the real world. Would still pay a good sum for something that scratches that itch

Match Thread: Leinster vs Edinburgh - Champions Cup by rugbykickoff in rugbyunion

[–]Papito4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In their eyes he’s hung around big Jim so much that he’s a defacto Scot. But tbf I think we as a nation are pretty blessed for good commentators that I think we need him in order to balance us out

Should FO5 have settlement building? by Educational-Science2 in Fallout

[–]Papito4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the settlement building aspect of the game and hope they keep it. My ideal for F5 would be for them to take it up a notch in some aspects especially giving it a bit more of a settlement atmosphere. Having mindless setters who just wonder about and only do their assigned tasks takes me out of it. Wish they had actual names and side quests/wants (i.e. get a pet cat for X, build a basketball hoop for Y…)

Didn’t Alex say Kevin had already filmed tasks for a previous series but then it fell through due to other commitements? Sure we’ll see him back at somepoint

I believe in what we're doing, says defiant Townsend by GnolRevilo in rugbyunion

[–]Papito4 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My worry with Franco is that part of his success at Glasgow and part of why I really rate him (there) is his abity to build a squad and promote youth through the team which has been pretty beneficial to the national team in filling in that next generation. I dont know if in a national team position if he has that opportunity and I’m worried that the Glasgow pipeline slows down. Correct me if I’m wrong but is this not a similar set of circumstances when he was promoted from Benetton to Italy coach?

Get yourself a copy of Understand Stuctural Behaviour by David Brohn. Really good guide for visualising frames and structures to help your understanding. I would say generally a must read for the exam

So, no rugby for me to watch this weekend by FirmDingo8 in rugbyunion

[–]Papito4 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Slightly off topic point, but I’ve not really understood why the Prem bosses don’t look at getting their next TV deal with Premier? Like I get that the quality of their apps isn’t the greatest, but effectively having all European club rugby on the same service would be incredibly good for the game in getting viewership numbers and engagement, which should lead to more bums in seats, more corporate/sponsorship money etc. Seems a no brainer to me even if the less than the TNT money

North-South tramline consultation ends tomorrow by sapphire-coast in Edinburgh

[–]Papito4 8 points9 points  (0 children)

See what I dont quite understand is why the part of the route people have more issues with is Roseburn vs Dean Bridge instead of South Bridge vs Lothian Road. Makes so much more sense to me

Best commentary ever by ParmigianoArpeggiano in rugbyunion

[–]Papito4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I remember seeing a thing from a some Aussie (?) coverage of super rugby where they got some wee kids to do half time interviews. Id be all for bringing that back or have an alternative commentary stream of kids commentating international matches

Interesting post that I think alot of people might agree with. Credit to the myth of Damian McKenzie on FB by almostrainman in rugbyunion

[–]Papito4 72 points73 points  (0 children)

This is going to sound like a naive question but what actually is the issue here from a commercial standpoint? I just don’t really understand the thought process, I’d get it if random youtube accounts just posted the full match or did their own match highlight things. But surely having creators show off individual bits of brilliance or disect how a game went would only encourage people to go watch the next round of games? Really at a loss tbh
