The Things You Are HAPPY About Thread.

Went to a Yankees game 9 years ago, loved the whole experience and now way too invested in a team that is popular to hate on.

Other game was in Memphis for some minor league action. $20 a ticket inc an all you can eat hot dog/mac n cheese buffet. Glorious

So, to address one of my main beef’s with baseball: are they genuinely always trying to hit it out of the park and anything else is just a lucky mishit? Always looks that way as opposed to the infinite number of shots played in cricket (insert punchline of a massive list of ‘one shot’ batsmen in cricket here).

 

[Kenny]

Bat on ball and bases the main targets for most.

 

[BillyDee]

Baseball batters can pick their shots according to the field and game situation just like cricketers do.

 

[BillyDee]

Jomboy Media's breakdowns on YouTube are a big recommendation to understand the game better.

Signed up for a supplier webinar today and they're going to send me doughnuts to eat whilst i'm watching. I'm easily influenced with food

You can take the man out of Wolverhampton but you'll never take Wolverhampton out of the man.
Cheers.

Beautiful out this morning.

Lovely.
We went out yesterday, had to collect summat from Newtown, we took the bike, ended up doing 175 miles around mid Wales, Herefordshire, Shropshire. I'm turning into a sentimental old duffer, mentioned to my missus just what a lovely place the UK, mainly our area is to live (despite its failings), the countryside is gorgeous.

Shugborough?

Yep, Jacobs ladder then Shugborough.

Tax rebate of £700
New half man half biscuit album, both in the post this morning.

This would usually appear on the sad thread but heading back to the UK tomorrow and it’s gonna be hotter than here.
Fuck me, it’s a tough life but someone’s got to do it I suppose, patio and a bottle of beer it is then at the weekend, home from home.

Finally got a decent Internet connection at home.

"Fibre is coming" in north worcester since 2015, but still hasn't.

Was getting just 32mb with Vodafone with regular drop outs, had BT before that and that was worse.



Just had Airband installed this morning and getting 132mb, significantly better obviously and so far so good. Bit concerned that it might be susceptible to bad weather (it's via a dish, Microwave direct line of sight connection) But time will tell.



Oh, and it's 15 quid a month cheaper than Voda was!

Sometimes this country is so backward. I get way faster than that in our house in rural Zambia.

Yep. It's bizarre. Not as though I'm rural, it's north Worcester, about 2 miles from the city centre.

Did you look at any Alt Nets? They don’t use the Openreach network as they build their own so means they are able to offer faster packages that others can’t.

I had Sky etc telling me I couldn’t get faster then 150Mbps, checked out Full Fibre website and now have 1Gb for £32 compared to the £33 I was paying Sky.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Not heard of them.

But there's no fibre infrastructure available where I live.

Virgin operates about half a mile away and on a newer estate not far away either - but not here.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

130mbps seems amazing right now

 

[wanderer89]

Aye, it will after being stuck with what you had for so long!
