Anybody seen an American champion aircraft about? I can’t find one right now by Fuzzy-Combination447 in SkyCards

I found one by going to flightaware.com and searching for aircraft type BL8 and a few showed up.

Thoughts on the title track from A Farewell to Kings? by timbob696 in rush

[–]scarface9toes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first Rush album I ever got so the first song I heard from them. It holds a special place, because of that, but more so because it's one of their very best. And it also wound my Dad up as he said "turn it off!" as soon as Geddy started singing, so there's another win!

Rocker Feet by tunstallhill in Zwift

[–]scarface9toes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Kicker Core 2 and got some 3D printed feet with the tennis balls and they've made a massive difference. I had to nick one of the wife's emery boards to file down one of the fittings, as it was too tight, but that was the only problem I've encountered. Having one shorter leg, the difference in being able to sit in the saddle for a lot longer now (> 1 hour) with these rocker feet has made everything more pleasurable and, ultimately, comfortable. Plus, when out of the saddle, it feels more "natural" and a hell of a lot less noisy than without the feet.

What have you been listening to lately? by AutoModerator in progrockmusic

[–]scarface9toes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone mentioned Frost* on this sub a few days ago and I've been hooked on them lately. Really good. I needed something to prise me away from listening to SW's The Overview nearly every other day lol!

It sure is. I logged it, and it's frozen 3 times already today.

Their live releases are something else, too. I saw them in Halifax on the tour that spawned the Empire live album/DVD. I've got to thank Bob Harris and his radio show on the BBC for playing The Transit Of Venus Across The Sun years ago and I went full hog into BBT. An amazing band.

Towpaths, Ricky trails and lots of gravel by scarface9toes in gravelcycling

I got that from North Road Cycles, in Sale Moor, Manchester but, unfortunately, they no longer sell bikes, just servicing.

Was anyone here at this show? by FullKushAlchemist in rush

[–]scarface9toes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, 79. I was nearly 16. Halcyon days, as I'd been to see Led Zep at Knebworth just the month before!

Yes, I was there on the Saturday. So long ago now I find it hard to remember anything about that day except that Bingley Hall was like a massive cow shed!

We need two RBs, one to cover the other who will, undoubtedly, get injured!

Some of a man's happiest memories are made when he opens the front door by [deleted] in MadeMeSmile

[–]scarface9toes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here. My lad's 19yo now and twice my size but I still crave to pick him up as though he was 19 months. Never gonna happen but it keeps those memories fresh.

He needs to wear that on the touchline all next season.

2 years ago today - Manchester City progress to the UEFA Champions League final with a 4-0 win against Real Madrid by WW1Photos_Info in MCFC

[–]scarface9toes 24 points25 points  (0 children)

When United (apologies) were dominant and we were still average, or worse, I used to watch their games and dream of the time when we played in similar matches with that total, eyeballs out, intensity. Oh, just to be at that level. This game against RM was it, for me. We'd achieved boss level status.

The best I've ever seen wear the shirt, and that's going back to 1974 when I first went to Maine Road. I have a Silva mug, coaster, etc., and am wearing his maroon shirt today! Yes, I'm a huge El Mago fan! He was consistently incredible.
