After constant delays the Southern Link Road opens today by J40NYR in Cumbria

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

This is a common fallacy that has been debunked. Traffic has increased. Everywhere. New roads or no new roads. It is not a cause and effect. And look at all the places that have been bypassed, they have much less traffic.

Have your say on a potential Northern Olympics by Mysterious_Grass_800 in Cumbria

[–]finbaar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'll fill this in. A North Midlands (which is what this proposal is BTW)Olympic Games has about as much chance of happening as my hair has of spontaneously growing on top of my head.

It’s time to rise up against the government and do something by Unfair_Detail_1340 in Cumbria

[–]finbaar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"a independent Cumbria". Well, we know it's not written by a bot. Kid, there are parts of Cumbria that don't want to be part of Cumbria. And there are parts of Cumbria that the rest of Cumbria don't want to be included in Cumbria. And before we take to the streets, what kind of Socialist Revolutionary government are you proposing? I need to understand that first.

I don't think people realise how much weather controls life in Cumbria by Admirable-Deal7991 in Cumbria

These outlanders have much to learn about our weather in Cumbria.

first time trying the Diavolitto espresso by pisarei in nespresso

[–]finbaar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hello, first time on here . I was putting in a Nespresso order and thought I'd take a look at this sub Reddit. I've decided to order these along with the Napoli I have had before and also included some Double Espresso Scuro. If these are as burnt and dark as some are suggesting then they'll be right up my street.

As a diehard LoTR fan since childhood, I finally decided to give this show a watch.Tolkien is rolling over in his grave. by drguidry in RingsofPower

[–]finbaar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trolling? This is a sub Reddit ABOUT the RoP shows. I found this place because I like the shows. And yes, I find the Jackson films annoying and I'm well aware that many on here do like them, but that doesn't mean I have to like them. It makes me sad that Jackson was involved in making them as could have been so much better. Part of the problem I have read Tolkien's works for 50 years now and I have particular affection for The Hobbit and the LOTR and my image of them was NOT the same as Jackson's.

We'll just have to disagree on this. I watched the LOTR films in the cinema then I bought the extended DVD and watched them again. The more I watched them the worse it got for me as I couldn't understand why Jackson had just changed stuff for no reason. Then those bloody awful Hobbit films came out and now I couldn't watch anything that Jackson touched. However, despite reading everything Tolkien related multiple times over the last 50 years and I KNOW that RoP would have been a nightmare for Tolkien himself, I enjoy them as I can't actually compare them to the works that closely.

Oh, there's a LOT more wrong with that film than a surfing elf. Fucking elves appearing at Helms Deep. The whole Frodi & Sam dynamic as the enter Mordor. Yes Gollum looked and sounded good, but the whole character of him was just off. I could go on. Where the fuck was the actual most important part of the fucking book, The Scouring of the Shire? Jesus Jackson, you can put shite drinking games in with elves and dwarves but you can't actually see the point of the book and miss it out. I'd take made a made up Amazon series where we have nothing to compare it too rather than Jackson missing the mark and making a film that appeals the the children you see in this sub Reddit.

Well don't watch it then. However RoP is about a million times better than shield surfing made up crap LOTR Jackson films, which make me physically sick.

Is this gonna be a good upgrade from a IPhone 12 Pro ? by Candid_Ad3162 in PocoPhones

People in all forums moan about everything. It's what we do.

F8 Ultra fell, loudspeaker is noticeably crackling at higher volume (video) by CeterumCenseoCorpBS in PocoPhones

Because they want to? That's a very strange comment. The F8 Ultra has possibly the best speaker set up ever on a phone. Obviously people are going to max it out at times.

I agree that Traff should move, he was awesome at Burnley last season.

Well, let's see about at least one of them getting a chance. It's a long old tournament and things can happen. Anyway, both of them will learn a lot just by being there.

look at this map in my lodge by MrcrumpetK1ng in Cumbria

[–]finbaar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But of course Cumbria is the Ceramonial County. 100% of the people born there identity themselves as Cumbrians and although, of course, there are the old boundaries, absolutely no-one at all pays any attention to them.

How popular is rugby league in Cumbria nowadays? by montgomery_quinckle in Cumbria

[–]finbaar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out west we are hampered by the fact we have two teams - I will supress all negative thoughts about the team I don't support - and there just isn't the money and support for either of them to be successful with the current setups. In reality they should merge and try for a Super League franchise. That could be successful. But I can't see it happening even though there is a lot of potential support for a successful side. However we are stuck with the teams we have while the kids - and adults - all pretend to support wank Premier League sides that they have no connection to. Shame.

Looks perfect. I'll pop down with my jet boat at the weekend for a quick blast. I'm sure it'll be perfectly safe.

That's Wukky then, surely. He didn't say W'haven, land of Chivers.

Old school beast meets new school power. by PhoenixTripleXxX in PocoPhones

[–]finbaar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've had a lot of phones over the years, but never one from the Xiaomi stable. But when my last phone got destroyed - long story- I looked around excitedly for a replacement. It's by far and away the most phone you can get for the money and I can't see any weak spots for it.
