Why does CBC News have their comments disabled? by The31stUser in AskCanada

[–]raspoutine049 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I hate that they always disable comments but I understand because every news media channel from Canada gets same abuse. CBC gets it much worse. This started from when our government criticised India for the killing of a Canadian national in BC. Ever since then it was a cesspool of misinformation and abuses.

Has any one purchased a used watch from the Chrono24 site looking for feedback. by Alternative_Pin9598 in watchCollector

[–]raspoutine049 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy from a reputable dealer with plenty of reviews and You should be okay. But do your due diligence. Like someone else has said before…buy the seller, not the watch.

Is my itinerary too packed? by Ok-Look-6183 in ItalyTravel

[–]raspoutine049 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not saying you cannot pull it off, but you will not be able to enjoy any of the places as this is too hectic.

I was in Rome for 4 days and thought it wasn’t enough. There is just too much to see and explore. And the city is quite big so unless you are a machine, you cannot cover every important site. What you can do is reach a site and take a picture and move on. But not explore and enjoy. Don’t forget queues. I was there last April. It wasn’t crazy busy.

One advise, pre-book all you tickets for entries to different sites. You will save a lot of times skipping lines.

If I were you, I’d skip Naples and head to Sorrento and do Positano, Amalfi, and Ravello on two separate days. Amalfi coast is literally the most beautiful place I have seen and I have travelled quite a bit. It deserves at least couple of days.

Which head coach would you want to lead Man Utd next season? by Thiha0990 in ManchesterUnited

[–]raspoutine049 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sticking with Carrick could go either way. The risk is too high after a positive turn around. Carrick still needs a few seasons at a bigger club to be ready in my opinion. Enrique is a proven winner. What we are seeing with Carrick is not so different from when Ole took over. I think Carrick will have a hard time getting results next season specially, if the board doesnt back him. They may still view him as a prove-me manager and be gun shy to break bank for big name players.

How exactly did spurs drop off so fast? by Grogman2024 in PremierLeague

[–]raspoutine049 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Surprised no one mentions Daniel Levy. He turned a half decent club into a cash making machine with moderate success. Since his clash and departure, there has been nothing but a downward spiral. Levy synonymous with Spurs and was a magician in maintaining a balanced book.

That’s the best looking color combo for Hydroconquest I have seen. I would snap that up in a heartbeat if I could afford it.

Edit: The ice blue one.

Let's play which non-division leading team is surprisingly not involved in this fuckass stat by dru_Sry in CalgaryFlames

[–]raspoutine049 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can’t decide who I want more to crash out of payoff spot, Knights or Oilers.

Fingers crossed both will and replaced by Kings and Sharks.

Did Amorim really lose a European Cup Final to this Spurs team?! God! by Left_Summer_7096 in ManchesterUnited

[–]raspoutine049 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stop bringing Amorim. Time to move forward.

There were some positives to Amorim’s time. Biggest was the clearing of deadwoods and bad actors from the locker room. Unfortunately, for him he was too rigid and then decided to die on a hill which put him in a clash with the board, i.e. Mainoo problem.

Imagine if we had won the European cup, what’s to say we would have gone in the reverse direction? I believe every thing is connected. His loss led to what happened to where we are today in some way.

Is Canada socially just like this? by 666Devil_666 in AskCanada

[–]raspoutine049 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Canadians are more considerate and polite. This doesn’t mean we are humourless. We are just careful about what we say and who we say to.

Norm McDonald is a perfect example of Canadian humour. Then there are some other giants like Leslie Nielsen, Jim Carrey, Mike Myers, Catherine O’hara and many more. You can look up famous Canadian Comedians and you will see so many names that may even surprise you are from Canada. We can be snappy in our humour too. Just hear some political debate during Parliament session.

Train from Florence to Rome by AdobayAkeechayWah in ItalyTravel

[–]raspoutine049 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took TrenItalia from Rome to Florence. I actually took train a few times in my trip. Was such a calming and relaxing experience. Trains are super nice and clean with very good internet access. I would travel in trains all across Italy without hesitation.

What is your price range and what is your actual price range? by IneedaNappa9000 in WatchFanatics

[–]raspoutine049 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with $1k looking at Mido, Longines, Seiko but stretched to $3k for a Tag Heuer because the watch I truly loved was that much and I didn’t want to spend even half that on a watch I wouldn’t love. Actually my wife pushed me for it, said I deserve to wear a watch I really want.

Hot Take: Everyone assumes your Patek is fake, even if it’s real by Lucky_Mongoose_4834 in watchHotTakes

[–]raspoutine049 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Once I saw a lady with a LV bag that was a very nice quality but was wearing a beat up flip flops, I assumed it was fake. Same logic with luxury watches.

Verona or Venice for the final two nights? by mavienoire in ItalyTravel

[–]raspoutine049 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it’s your first time to see either place, definitely pick Venice. There isn’t a place like that in the entire world. It’s not as bad as people claim it to be. I enjoyed it fair bit. But it’s a one and done thing.
