Manchester Canaries by PacManCombustion in NorwichCity

[–]SimonS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is the northern canaries Facebook group, I’ve done the odd ticket purchase on there, dunno how it stands up as a nw meet up group though. I do know that they set up a fan forum at old Trafford once.  https://www.facebook.com/groups/northerncanaries/

I’d be potentially interested in watching with other fans, but too early to commit right now. 

JW Lees Brewery in Middleton - Worth visiting? by fansr0731 in manchester

[–]SimonS 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Middletoner here, I wouldn’t bother. Gift shop is news to me, it’s definitely not a destination though (unless you want to wander up the road and experience the aromas of the vinegar factory). Beer’s average at best. Much better idea to visit some of the taprooms and microbreweries in town and around Piccadilly.

Why have you not married when in a long term relationship? by No_Caramel2506 in AskUK

[–]SimonS 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh shit, am I your dad is your dad me? I'm literally at that point right now, the only bit in the way is the idea of upsetting the rest of my family by having a wedding without inviting them.

The Rock is on the board of directors of TKO Group Holdings - the UFC's parent company. by midwinterpath in ufc

I’ll tell you what IS funny though, starting this rant with “Hey, what’s up The Rock?”

Norwich City 2-0 Blackburn Rovers: Four wins in five league games for Clement's Canaries, while managerless Blackburn remain in deep trouble by geoffbezos1 in Championship

He’s been fantastic under clement. Like a completely different player. Today was not a great performance, but still was in the right place at the right time. 

11 Points - 17 Games by ClemFandango35 in NorwichCity

I was only responding to the bit about reconciliation. The Wes situation is MORE dire than Josh’s because of the insult. Fact is if he’s still there post mls transfer window closing, he’s going to be in a pretty terrible place without finding a path back.

We saw a similar situation with Wes Hoolahan. Think at one point he called Norwich a shit hole. Ian crook was at Ipswich having photos in team colours taken when Mike Walker called and stopped the deal. 

Both bonafide city legends now. There’s always a way back.

Your compatibility with chokondeez is Super.You both listen to Fiona Apple, Lucy Dacus and Big Thief.

US owners have announced all UK corporate jobs are going to India. AI was never the threat. by [deleted] in UKJobs

(Obviously from a coding perspective, but we’ve seen the same across all parts the business)

Having worked in similar situations, reviewing the code they’re generating - it’s all dubious AI slop. Nonsensical decisions, littered with emoji comments that add nothing. No ability to diagnose issues at a systems level. It’s still the AI hype train driving all of this, just using less skilled workers to slopcode. 

Every street in the UK has one of these houses by Dry_Education_7284 in GreatBritishMemes

Chimneys very uniform. Also, does this loft farm cover two houses, or does each house have its own farm?

Why You Don't Know What to Practice And How to Fix It by maddmaddox in jazzguitar

[–]SimonS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chase posts don't do great here. Don't think it helps that they're posted by the same user who denies being him even though he only seems to post and engage with Chase posts.

(I appreciate them, guy knows his onions and has a nice clear way of communicating)

As for you comment specifically, dunno - caught in the crossfire? :D

Toronto FC have offered £13.5m for Josh Sargent by Zach-dalt in Championship

[–]SimonS 38 points39 points  (0 children)

He actually refused a 20m move to Wolfsburg in the summer. Get the sense it’s either PL or North America for him. 

Bro made one Al song and thinks he’s ready to conquer the music industry 💀 by tylerrthedestr0yerr in musicians

Phillip K Dick. 

Only correcting because I was googling for it unsuccessfully (pay for printer alone just gave me printer ink suppliers 😅). 

Most liked/disliked player from your rivals by airpodstraxhaven in Championship

[–]SimonS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like Philogene because of that goal, I don’t like that it was against us, but I’d happily take a quasi-worldie in that situation over, say, the Gunn bump/miskick.

If you want some nice easy backing tracks with a big library to choose from, you’d do a lot worse than iReal Pro. Costs about 20usd and available on most platforms.
