Off for a few days next week, me and a couple of friends heading up to York (the "old" one !). It's not like I'll be off grid though!

Off for a few days next week, me and a couple of friends heading up to York (the "old" one !). It's not like I'll be off grid though!

Given that the street pattern for much of York is based on the old Roman system, I expect you'll have a fair amount of grid there.

KDC's impending trip got my mind to wandering around Northern Europe and I recently I saw a brief news item about Norway (I think). The important bit is that some guy happened to be digging around an old tree and he discovered, tangled among the root system, an old sword scabbard. Intricately carved with a really cool design, solid gold. Archeologists say it's about 1500 years old and was actually used, rather than being ceremonial, due to wear marks on it.

Go find your gold treasure KDC!

Happy travels KDC! I'm sure Old York will have it's treats as well!

Hey kdc enjoy your travels

Jack Osbourne strikes back at people who criticized him for going to the UFC fights at the White House.

[Zzzptm]

I'm not going to criticize people who buy tickets to go to an event in a place where the event is happening and get entertainment value from said event.

I *am* going to criticize people who make events happen that noooooooobody wanted to see happen. To wit:

https://www.yahoo.com/news/us/articles/florida-man-led-police-high-172249037.html

Florida man led police on high-speed chase. Got out of jail, stole SUV, did it again, cops say

What the headline doesn't say is that the guy stole an iPhone charger out of a *different* vehicle before stealing the SUV for the second high-speed chase.

That fellow deserves a goodly amount of criticism, I say!

[Zzzptm]

Oh please.

This is political bullshit with zero credibility, and we don't need it here. It's not even "local" news.

Yeah, Z is correct-o-mundo. I watched some of the video, she pats some binders claiming the documents in there prove what she then goes on to say. OK, in the description she says to go to ODNI.gov to "see for youself". I went there.

I could not find them.

I could not find anything on the site that mentions them.

That in and of itself, regardless of the veractiy or lack of veracity of her claims, pops the alarm on this.

I'd go ahead and move the post, but I'm gimp. Charger can, if it is hanging around after a bit I'll log in as the big-stick admin and move it.

[Vyn]

Ok, moved to the appropriate board. Back to your regularly scheduled Local News topics of general interest and concern

None too soon - https://www.msn.com/en-us/foodanddrink/foodnews/scotland-fans-drink-boston-dry-as-local-bars-run-out-of-beer/ar-AA25TpzY

ALL the beer in Boston got drunk up by the Scots soccer fans!



They even drank up the Bud Lights, presumably once the good stuff got drained!

[Vyn]

They drank...ALL THE BEER IN BOSTON?! Holy shit, how is that even possible? It's a Mick town, booze is their lifeblood. OMG

[KiloDeltaCharlie]

Did no one warn Boston? It's the Scottish FFS!!!   

[Charger]

Well well well... the Scottish out drink the Irish! Who knew!?

[Vyn]

I think that's one sign of the Armageddon. Or at least the start of a nasty bar fight lol
