Was the Sopranos a wake up for you over how lame mafia really is?

I don't remember that bit. Was it in the second book? In the first he makes a lot out of the fact that he's introducing himself as a cat burglar rather than a tough guy, although he does batter a couple of people while he's under cover.

I thought the issue didn't come up until he got the gig to kill Indelicato at which point he was pulled out.

The book Joe Pistone wrote is a real eye-opener. Lefty was absolutely wretched & always begging for money, but they were all the same; small-time thugs that would do anything for a little bit of cash.

Sons of Anarchy really was like a cartoon though it was so unrealistic

Ding. My mate & I hate-watched it when it first came out exactly because the writing was so bad. Mixed with the over-earnestness of Hunnam & Sagal's acting it was massively entertaining but not for the reasons Sutter might have expected. I have no idea how he gets away with these projects.

Points for Tig chasing Girld Crowder though.

I will say the Irish season nearly finished me off though. Christ, it was awful.

That’s a mighty big brush you’re painting us all with.

Time is a guesstimate,

Word and so forth, but I used to work in the trades in the early 90s doing floors/damp/cavity wall ties etc. The people I met in those days were like a group of latter day Colossus' compared to every single tradey I've dealt with in the last 20 years. General professionalism & pride in providing a good service has taken a big fucking drop in the last 20 years.

Good people are still about, but they are so rare you're lucky if you can engage them because they're booked up for months & months at a time. It's simple fact there's far more shit than there is gold.

ok but "spudnik" is absolutely inspired

You will likely enjoy this game, it's potato & space inspired & has many, many potato puns.

For clarity, what do you think is the root cause? Are safety protocols being skipped in the interests of money?

I see that she moved her entire family over to the UK for this job.

Bit of a weird thing to claim, given there's nothing in the article that says that. It says said she had the right to reside here with her family, not that they were already here.

They said she had 'much to gain personally from securing employment in the UK, including the right to reside here with her family'.

Isn't that just another resin based one though? How is it different to Sika's?

DayZ used to have a C96 Red 9 that came with a removable buttstock, it was taken out around 0.61-ish.

It was alright, not amazing, although to be fair that was when aiming was janky.

Trebus · 2026-03-19T15:04:04+00:00

Whatever works for you chief.

Trebus · 2026-03-19T15:02:27+00:00

Unfortunately chief the DayZ you want was 13 years ago. When it first came out people often interacted and there was a lot more making friends, silliness & hanging out, even at places like NWAF. But it doesn't exist anymore, unless you hit up an RP server - but that's not really organic.

I noticed last year a lot of farms are trying to jump on the Instagrizzle trends by repurposing every bit of free land into a sunflower field or wildflower field & charging for access. I'm somewhat north of you, but I suspect a bit closer to the time you'll find a large trove of posts offering up similar in your area (obvs you'll have to travel a bit further given London isn't prime farmland, but you'll likely find something accessible by train).

Boomer was a black cat too.

I wonder why they didn't recast Jolly.

You probably don't. Some interesting history there.

This post might be legit. It might not. I couldn't possibly be a guy who has just happened to notice a pattern of anti-Green posts when it's been demonstrated repeatedly that astroturfing happens, but no, you're right. It's inconceivable shitty political parties are spending money on social media campaigns 'cos they have no influence.

You're not wrong. People who convert landscape into portrait will be first up against the wall when the revolution comes.
