OT: Sens Lounge - Golf season edition

[DrEasy]

1977-78, Liverpool..the year after Kevin Keagan leaves for Hamburg,

they bring in Kenny Dalglish (Paul's Dad..one time Ottawa Fury Manager), Graeme Souness and Alan Hansen.. All Scotts. They marked a golden generation of Scottish football. It has never been repeated.

An aging John Toshack (who would later make a name for himself as a manger.. I once had his autograph, but sadly lost it)

in 1978, they won the Champions cup.. predecessor to today's champions league. Back then, it was limited to the champions.. and was a pure home and away knockout.. no group stages.

Souness and Dalglish would form a fantastic duo for a decade, both for Liverpool and for Scotland. Both would go on to manage and have great success.

been a Liverpool FC fan since.

I was a Liverpool fan in the early to mid-80s. In addition to Dalglish and curly-haired Souness, there was Ian Rush, the always dangerous and efficient Welsh attacker, and spectacular Bruce Groebbelart (or whatever way that was spelled), their South African goalie. I could google all this, but going by memory to add some colour!

Bruce Grobbelaar.. worked here with the Fury under Paul Dalglish.

Tommy Smith (mostly in the 1970's) became the main voice for ESPN football in the 1990's.. God awful heavy accent. He and Jean Paul Dellacamera.

Sammy Lee in the 1980's.. ventured in and out of management.

Bob Paisley was the GOAT..... behind/ahead of, Bill Shankly... golden 20 years of scouser football.

they made a giant mistake.. and I mean a giant mistake, by not continuing their Scottish lineage and appointing Sir Alex Ferguson They let him go to ManU and have never been the same. Never let a good Scotsman with a football in his hand go!!!

Are you forever blowing bubbles? (I only found out about this song tradition thanks to Ted Lasso).

Its my dream to go to a live game, but i don't know any of the songs lol. I just watch on TV usually without sound cuz the streams I have are usually crap.

Gino Mäder dies after Tour de Suisse crash

Bahrain Victorious team mourns loss of 'an extremely talented cyclist and a great person'

www.cyclingnews.com

riders ride on 26 mm tyres.. these are more or less 26 mm wide and about 30 mm deep. Virtually no thread.

they allow descents from mountains that are in the Alps and Pyrenees.. so 4000 plus feet, down to valleys below. Speeds could, for brief periods hit 100 km/hr.

what the F did they expect?

Classic

 

[Beech]

Classic

is there a greater place to be, than in Toronto and as a Maple Leafs' player in good times (early in the regular season and away from the playoffs)?

Had the Leafs been so much as 10-20 points a year better, Phaneuf would have been a God and lived in Shangri-La!!! As would the rest of them.

Has Doug Gilmore woken from his dream?

Okay... just heard the ultimate.

A tourist submarine has disappeared. It does tours of the Titanic wreck.

3,800 M below the ocean surface. Making the pressure 381 times more than at the ocean's surface.

They will be crushed to bits... EEEKKKK.

They had a show on discovery or something a few weeks ago, showing people down there looking at Titanic on small sub. Said it was a first for tourists.

Pressure = Density of water x H (Height) x G gravity

density ~ 1000 kg/m^3.. at sea level and ~ 4 C.. That changes a tad at the bottom of the ocean
h = 3800 M
gravity is a function of distance from the center of the earth... your Friend Sir Issac Newton proposed = GM1M2/R^2. At sea level.. we accept 9.81 M/s^2

so at 3800 M, it is about 381 times at sea level, which is 14.7 psi.. or pound per square inch. Thus about 5600 psi...

so imagine a spot on your head 1 inch by 1 inch, supporting 5600 lbs. Essentially your head, which is 7" in diameter (roughly).. has an area of 16 inches squared... has to supports 89,000 lbs. or 9 tractor tailors.

if so much as one seal broke, one piece of metal fatigued. One pinhole developed due to stress corrosion cracking. If the surface of that sub had one imperfection. One dent..

you are now crushed.

Why the F, someone wants to do things like that?

7 months ago, a elderly Chinese couple moved in, next door.. Not one word of English or French.

they are the gentlest souls..

It has been 7 months of hand gesturing and pointing and nodding and walking away confused as heck.

help with trees, holding ladders, help with garage doors.. gifts on Chinese new years, me putting up Chinese Lanterns..

Me using the net to translate and then having to write it down and give it to them..

the F'ng craziest 7 months.

their daughter speaks French.Their son some English..so when they are here, it is the UN.

On a bright side, I want you to imagine a 65 year old Chinese man, his 55 year old wife, me a 59 year old.. Out in the drive way, shooting hoops.

Steven Spielberg could not match.. I watch Gran Torino the other day and laughed.

If only I could attract women they way Clint Eastwood can.

@Nac Mac Feegle , @DrEasy,

they were kind enough to give me Chinese rise dumpling.. I think, My eyes are bad, I will have to look at them again and see it there is a tag on them!!
1) how do I cook them.. steam them for 10 minutes? (per the internet)
2) how do I eat them??? Do you eat the wrapper??

these suckers appear to be overgrown dolmades. You eat Dolmades whole..as in take bites, but you eat everything. But Bamboo wrapping may not go down as easily as grape leaves.

take a picture and send to us. sounds like lo mai gai which is rice and fillings in a leaf - in which case don't eat the leaf! Unwrap it for its deliciousness!

it was a pork dumpling. I am guessing the main filler was rice..strange, it looked more and tasted more like Bulgar wheat..

I may have messed up the cooking. I have another. I will try and do better today or tomorrow.

an American Robin. They live for 2 years. For 20 years, I have had a yearly nest. Front porch area. She flies in at night and builds the nest. She has senses that are unreal, all I have to do is get close to my front door and she flies off..then spend all the time squawking at me, until I go back in.

As time progresses, she sits on the eggs more and more, and does not fly off as easily.. when she does, more squawking.

Then a time comes when she does not fly off.. She sits quietly. Lets me come and go without a word

As more time passes, I can sit outside and she does nothing

As more time passes, I can sit outside and she squawks, but in softer tone. Almost like a conversation.

Then, she starts leaving and bringing back food. And over time, you see the little heads.. and by late September, they are gone.

F'ng unreal.

You should try feeding her. Put some meal worms in shallow container everyday. gradually she will get used to you feeding her and then you can start closing the distance. in no time she will be eating out of your hand.

cause its cool?

a bunch of rich old men, decide to do something stupid because they can.. get themselves smashed to bits.

and foreign nations, namely us, spend a small fortune and multiple resources searching.

F'ng diesel engines on large ships go through fuel like f'ng crazy.. and we have to indulge some moron rich folk... Meanwhile wild fires...

How are our priorities so f***ed up?

You should check out Bob the Robin on YouTube etc.

I'm doing my first trip with my gf that involves getting on a plane...to Vancouver for 5 days. Neither of us has been, and we have Stanley Park, Grouse Grind, Capilano Bridge, Sea to Sky Gondola, Khalsa Diwan Society in Abbotsford, and Kitsilano Beach. If anyone has any suggestions on where to go please share. Can't wait to see mountains and have what should be the best Punjabi food in the country.
