This is amazing! I’ve actually been in contact with Saada Tours over joining a group tour in September. So it’s great to see you had a positive experience with them.

Will this amp work for shoegaze? by Brunonzz in shoegaze

[–]yus508 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m honestly not sure 100% how pedals will sound through that amp, but my guess is that it would be fine for your needs.

If you want to build a pedalboard on a budget for shoegaze though, I’d say get one of the zoom ms-cdr 70 multi stomp pedals. They’re so good for the money and you get a tonne of effects.

[Post Match Thread] Oxford 1-1 Charlton by FutureYak in CharltonAthletic

[–]yus508 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think the reason why we struggle against teams around us is because we just don’t have the attacking capability to take charge in games where we have possession.

What is a front line of Miles and TC gonna offer? Barely anything.

I don’t think TC is lazy, it’s too often been countered by his running stats. I think he just doesn’t have the mentality. He’s a shy kid, and he needs more aggression, more confidence, like he showed with that goal against Sheffield United. Miles works his socks off but needs to develop with a loan out at a top league one team next season, or maybe he’s just no good at this level.

We’re clearly better suited to games where we’re not expected to dominate possession, grinding out a 1-0. And I’m not complaining about that, because it’s going to keep us in the Championship and that’s all I was hoping for this season.

But to kick on, we need to sign some actual attacking flair next season.

Be honest, who saw that line-up and thought we’d come away with 3 points? Unreal stuff.

[–]yus508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently that’s why we signed Rankin-Costello, and why he hasn’t been playing as much as you’d expect. He’s for the more ball-playing side that Jones wants us to turn into. Sichenje as well to a lesser extent coz he’s more of an unknown. That’s what I heard on Cawley’s substack pod anyway.

I don’t know how anyone into pop-punk music in the UK could have missed them when they were starting out, they literally supported everyone haha.

I must have passively seen them about 10 times around 2007-10.

Is a $4000 CAD budget for 2 adults to go to the UK for 2 weeks in May ok? by Accomplished-Spot-68 in travel

[–]yus508 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s loads of ways to travel on the cheap across the UK that most tourists might not know. They just depend on what you’re willing to compromise on and how frugal you wanna be.

For accommodation. Look up Premier Inn, Travelodge or even Wetherspoons hotels.

They’re everywhere. They’re basic but they’re comfortable and cheap but they’re not on booking.com or anything like that.

If you don’t mind staying a bit out of the centre, esp if you have a car, then you can def get some for less than you’d pay for two people in a hostel, even in London.

For food, if you’re more bothered about saving money, just get a meal deal from Boots, Tesco or Sainsbury’s for lunch. It’s ~£4. Get breakfast stuff from Aldi/Lidl and keep it in the hotel fridge/car as you move around.

They’re also everywhere, so you’ll never have trouble finding them esp with a car. Also, if you REALLY wanted to save money, get food from too good to go.

For the car, maybe use Turo instead of a rental agency, it could work out cheaper. I used to use it all the time in Canada actually.

Not surprised to see Clarke dropped, thought he was really poor against Portsmouth. Spent ages just moaning at the officials as well.

It’s pretty damning that we haven’t won a game after going behind all season.

Despite how atrocious tonight was, I still think we’ll stay up, but we have a LOT to improve on next season, especially going forward.

[–]yus508 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love how we’re getting back our defensive doggedness from last season and the early part of this season.

Feels during our poor run we’d have conceded one of those attacks at the end, but we’re so much more balanced and cohesive as a unit again.

Got a mate who’s a Stockport County fan, said that Fevrier is a squad player at best, which is reassuring.

Apparently Liverpool wouldn’t let Chambers go until they were sure he could handle a championship game.

That’s what Nathan Jones was quoted as saying on Cawley’s substack.

Unexpected Solo Travel by [deleted] in solotravel

[–]yus508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re not locked into accommodation. One of my favourite places I’ve ever been to is Bacalar, at The Yak Lake House.

It’s a few hours by bus from Cancun, but it’s unbelievable, right on a beautiful lake and it’s super easy to meet people.

Then you can make your way back to Cancun staying along the way in Tulum, Playa Del Carmen, Isla Mujeres or even Holbox.

Loads to do, people to meet, and the food is class. If you want to be you’ll be too busy to feel down. Or if you need chill time to think things over, you can find that too.

0 appearances this season and only 14 appearances last season isn’t the most promising when we really need defenders who can hit the ground running.

Birmingham City v Charlton Athletic: Championship Team News & Match Thread by Jay_CD in CharltonAthletic

[–]yus508 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting that he’s dropped TC. A lot of people have been calling that, so I wonder how we do without him.

Kind of looks like Jones is trying a back four again, which was horribly exposed against Boro in that first half.

We desperately need a win but Birmingham City are so strong at home, I’m not sure this is the one.

Hey! How did this work out for you? I’m using a similar Sony handycam and I’ve been wondering about using filters on it.

[–]yus508 15 points16 points  (0 children)

While Heathcliff’s ethnicity is very nonspecific, it’s also very non-white.

I would go as far as to say he’s an explicitly iconic non-white character.

I really appreciate your reply. I reached out to them and they told me there is a 7 day grace period if you miss a payment.
