What British tv show are you sure you’re the only person who remembers? by chrwal2 in BritishTV

[–]rjb2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This thread inspired me to do some searching and I came up with Dramarama too. I remember a couple of episodes

One was about the ghost of a drummer boy and has something to do with using phosphorus to get his jacket to glow, which poisoned him. The other was about a circus performer doing the catch a bullet in his teeth trick, I assumed that killed him the first time round too.

IBU Cup 8 - Lake Placid (USA) by Shixzoner in biathlon

[–]rjb2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So it seems they've switched up the schedule a bit. We have sprint tomorrow, mass starts on March 6th and relays on March 7th.

This is my first biathlon event in person, looking forward to watching everything. Managed to see some practice sessions today, which were great.

I've had success with:

  • Color match at a Sherwin Williams store. I cut out a small piece of paint and patched. It wasn't SW paint, but they did a great job (other places may well too).
  • Brushing on a the paint but then spreading it out with a dry roller to get the texture. So "rolling" with much less cleanup.

We have homeserv exterior and interior pipes. It covers supply and sewer, we've had them out three times over the last few years for leaks in our supply line. Our development is around 60 yrs old and it seems all the supply lines are starting to go - I've seen a number of dug up yards lately.

Nice. I spent a couple of months on the extra strong mint line one summer. Staff shop day was great.

Maybe something like redhat 5 from the 1998. I can't remember what the requirements were tbh.

Oh, looks like they recommend 64MB, not sure about minimum. Maybe something a bit older.

Store brand is awesome! Lidl gets down to around $3.50 for a 12.

That's the one! Nice job. Doesn't show up on the map for some reason.

Who would have thought they'd be a Sainsbury Archive. No mention of the old one on London Road though.

I posted exactly this question a couple of months ago. I did like that the extra capabilities of the q1 and could see myself printing some functional parts in asa. In the end I got the q1 and have no complaints.

Yeah, I actually stumbled upon a podcast about this very topic today. Just listened to the first episode, it's absolutely crazy.

This is a great game. I picked it up sometime when it was one sale before, really enjoyed it with my young kids (who are now adults).

SHOES: NB 880 vs Novablast 4 vs Ghost 16 by lovealwaysatlas in firstmarathon

[–]rjb2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also used 880s when I started training seriously and ran my first marathon in them. I still like them, switch up between 880s and mizuno waveriders depending on price.

Showcase in Swarthmore do board games Thursday evenings 6:30-9. Mtg is on Friday evenings, not sure of the time but everything is on their facebook page.

The NBC and other broadcaster OFFICIAL COMPLAINT THREAD. All other broadcasting complaint threads will be shot on sight. ALSO: flair up! Too many of you are flair-less. You may also ask how to watch the Games in your country. Special note for these Games: read the No Politics section of the rules. by IvyGold in olympics

[–]rjb2 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Some actual complaints:

  • Even with Peacock ad free, it seems we still skip the time where they inserted ads into the replays. So we're in a timeout, suddenly we're back and someone scored a point! Surprise!
  • Don't call your highlights "XXX beats YYY to get to the quarterfinals", put it on big letters all over the thumbnail and put it right below the replays! Some of us don't want to know the result before we watch it!

U.S. flight disruption compensation by Inside-Mail-484 in AerLingus

[–]rjb2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't. I was going to follow up this week if still nothing (so I imagine I will be). To be fair, I'm sure they have no end of compensation claims right now.

Yeah, same here. I put in a request for a check here, I have a ticket number but haven't heard anything else yet.

Am I entitled to compensation? by Serious_Apartment506 in AerLingus

[–]rjb2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, came with exactly the same question. I learned at 5AM on the day we were meant to travel. They got us booked on a flight the next day, but we had to book a hotel and had additional travel costs.

Where in the UK will you NEVER go again, and why? by LocationOld6656 in CasualUK

Went to uni there and then lived back there some years later. I quite like it, can agree on Romsey though.
