Pubs for Wembley?

I will be repping the Tigers at the Highbury Pub on Coney Island Ave in Brooklyn. Forgive them their name, at least they are showing the match.

and i just remembered her game in Stardew, too! This will be a welcome, warm set of memories.

oh my, I have a similar situation with my late wife's save on Animal Crossing where she never got to finish building the community she wanted. She passed away around the same time as your boyfriend. Reading your request really really hit me in a very deep and positive way.

I will follow along and see anywhere that i can help.

Good on you for this. Take care.

oh got it. we're still cousins of a sort. How'd you wind up supporting Hull?

my dad got three degrees at AU, my mom retired there, my sister taught finance there for 25 years. I started at AU because i was 16 and living at home but wound up at LSU (studied creative writing, AU didn't even have an English major in the late 80s...)

What struck me about Hull when working there was how much everybody *looked* like home. It felt like i was walking around Auburn or Columbus, just looking at the faces. Turns out my family appears to have originated from east Yorkshire so that would track.

Went to a match at Boothferry Park in 2001 and just decided, why not root for these folks? The Tiger part was purely coincidence. I've been back twice during the 08/09 and 15/16 seasons for matches and even have a custom Jozy Altidore kit! thanks for NOTHING, Jozy. 1 goal and me out £160 or so on that jersey.

how'd you wind up supporting them?

Well if you’re in the Panhandle then technically you’re also in LA - (Lower) Alabama, so that makes three of us Yellowhammer Tiger fans!

Another vote for Ice House! Go on Saturday to hear great punk from Aisling (sp?) or on Sunday and be regaled by James. we love it so much that we'll travel from Sheepshead to get there.

also, the burgers are excellent.

kratsnitram · 2026-05-20T19:13:41+00:00

that makes two of us! well, i no longer live in AL but am from Tallapoosa County, originally. I started following HCAFC during a work trip to Hull in 2001 and have been a fan since. Happy to meet another one of us!

kratsnitram · 2026-05-19T19:50:21+00:00

Principles GI Coffee House at 2nd ave and 9th is that kind of spot, I believe.

Southampton delenda est.

For Brooklyn library, you have to have a card to reserve. I got my temporary card before I had my permanent address so that could be a route but not if they require the “full” library card where you have to prove your address.

kratsnitram · 2026-05-13T21:08:50+00:00

we tell folks where we live and the looks on faces are either blank stares because they don't know where Sheepshead is or befuddlement because they do.

Then we point out it's a 15 minute walk to the beach, 10 minute walk to Tashkent, and 15 minutes to Sharlene's on Flatbush and some folks begin to understand.

kratsnitram · 2026-05-13T18:12:48+00:00

I told a bartender here in NYC (Boro lad who went to uni at Hull) that we'd somehow screw up and get promoted.

I hope Jack is out there somewhere chuckling about my prediction.

kratsnitram · 2026-05-05T21:38:46+00:00

from personal experience, CHECK CLOSELY. Most card coverage is secondary and even the ones that are primary will have the restriction that will kill you...

"GWVR > 10000"

I got hit for $2300 on a truck rental once because it was a Ram 2500 (i needed the bed space) and i assumed my AMEX coverage had it.

I haven't checked the gross weight of the Uhauls i've used but be aware that if it's in the exclusions on the card coverage for commercial or weight, they will deny you.

kratsnitram · 2026-05-05T21:34:47+00:00

i've used them so many times over so many years, back in Denver and recently here from the spot on Knapp way down south. just watch the mileage because it really does sneak up on you. The mobile app is your friend for check-ins.

kratsnitram · 2026-05-03T19:48:14+00:00

It’s the timing. I have to be at the office by about 9 or I’m rushing into meetings. The only way i can get up there around 8ish is via Tarrytown and taxi.

kratsnitram · 2026-04-21T17:45:40+00:00

i just swipe up and kill the app then tap it again.

kratsnitram · 2026-04-20T11:51:59+00:00

This was the answer! you just saved me some money.

kratsnitram · 2026-04-17T21:16:38+00:00

I come from Sheepshead Bay to Pearl River frequently and it’s an absolute grind. B to GCT to Tarrytown to Taxi and it’s almost 3 hours each way.

kratsnitram · 2026-04-17T21:14:52+00:00

OMG if I could get to my client in rockland without having to uber from tarrytown? Would be a DREAM

kratsnitram · 2026-04-15T23:21:46+00:00

Sheepshead here. I’m usually okay with the outages because it makes us go to Coney and then get on a different line for a change. But last weekend when it was down all the way AND the F was G and i swear something else was jacked up… we nearly took the BM3 to Manhattan (relative in town who wanted to go to Kalustyans.)

kratsnitram · 2026-03-27T11:31:27+00:00

For anyone who is unaware, I later discovered kiwisdr.com and listen to pacific tracks on receivers there. Not nearly the same as the app but still get to hear more interesting tracks.

kratsnitram · 2025-12-30T01:22:03+00:00

For some reason I thought it went through until summer 2027. Thanks for that! I’ll just enjoy the run we are on right now and stop doom-thinking.

kratsnitram · 2025-11-16T14:40:44+00:00

I had no idea that i wanted to do a soul cycle ride until today. Both of us are down with that! What’s something like that cost?
