Landed back from two weeks of bliss in Italy to that score yesterday afternoon. That plus the sh*te weather did little to brighten the already sour mood. Trying to remind myself that they need time to sort out the system, and thinking back to how long it would take for Klopp to start new...

After our first pair of dogs passed away, we decided our next ones had to be small enough for my wife to easily lift, as our 80 lb dog's hip issues were tough on her with the many stairs in our house. We searched locally for a not-too-big-not-too-small dog for quite a while with no luck (lots of...

Agree with everything except re-signing Konate. He's been solid in flashes when the rest of the team is there to bail him out from his moments of distraction, but when they aren't at their best, he makes things much worse with his lack of consistency. He's come in for a lot of stick this year...

Insanely bad reffing aside, this was the first no good, awful, very bad week as a Liverpool supporter in a long time. Have heard a million theories as to why it's not working, from it all being Konate's fault, all being Wirtz's fault, Slot's fault for too much chopping and changing and never...

Couldn't watch, so only my usual workday mix of Bluesky, Reddit and Fotmob feeds. Have never seen Slot so cranky in a post-match presser, saying Ekitike was stupid and that a few other players didn't put enough effort in. Consensus seems to be Gomez, Endo and Frimpong were the source of his...

Anyone paying attention on the contracting side has known this for months if not close to a year. I know of excavation contractors, the first on the ground for any high-rise development, who have moved their businesses almost entirely over to things like sewer installation because the...

Went to the second Toronto Timepiece Show today, and it was a bit different to last year. More established brands, fewer tiny microbrands. Some high/lowlights include: - echo/neutra: small Italian microbrand making beautiful watches with vintage inspiration but still looking modern. The...

I couldn't watch because of work, but was glued to Bluesky and the Fotmob app in the office and have since seen the excellent highlights package DAZN puts together (Fubo's sucks by comparison). Both the Atleti goals looked iffy to me, the first should have been called back for offside with...

Hey, I've always maintained that the only thing I miss about BC is the motorcycling roads. Ontario has BC beat for everything else I care about, though... (oh, wait, I also miss ICBC, which I never thought I'd say!) I wasn't trying to be snarky (at least not TOO snarky), I was genuinely...

Okay, this has bugged me since I moved back from BC, but just to confirm, the bit of the Forks of the Credit that folks head to for riding is just the 3 odd km bit around the hairpin, right? Is there a bit I'm missing on the way to or from that makes it such a destination? I went to Snake Rd...

Difficult as it is to generate any sympathy for such an irritatingly whiny and entitled kid, am I the only one who feels uncomfortable with the tone of these sorts of posts from various police departments? There's a sort of prurient glee and smugness in them that I find off-putting, especially...

To be fair to Burnley, expecting them to go toe-to-toe with a Liverpool side that has a single player that cost what their whole side did is probably a bit much. They didn't lose at home for all of last season and up to today, so it's one recipe for staying up in a brutal league. Still, it's...

Same applied in 2017. Both numbers, 2017 and 2025, are sticker price, not dealer or fleet discount.

That one is gone, but there's another suspiciously similar 2010 model in red for $8k, not sure if he decided to jack the price after some interest. Great bike, but for anyone interested, the early 1200 8V models up to mid-2012 had a serious issue with flat tappets wearing prematurely and then...

Studio Cycle is a great shop, but as you say, not ideal if you'd rather flatten your balls with a rubber mallet than drive anywhere near downtown Toronto. My Guzzi is simple enough that I do all my own maintenance, but if I needed work done, I'd go to Moto Motori: Google Search Edit: better...

I went through a similar move away from sportbikes last year, though I was looking at bikes that weren't cruisers (corner clearance!) but had some cruiser vibe around being okay to ride slow. Looked at MT-01's, did briefly consider an XR1200, came very close to a BMW R nineT, and also looked at...

Further to cost jacking, I just went back and looked at some quotes I got when I was shopping for a company car for MY 2017, comparing a loaded Honda Accord Touring V6 sedan to a mid-tier F-150 XLT with 4x4, SuperCrew, 6.5' box, tow package and 3.5 EcoBoost. 2017 MY Accord: $36,490 MSRP F-150...

That gen of Ranger has become a bit of a cult classic, as it was the last of the simple, basic, ladder frame, actually small trucks. With some TLC they're very durable, and appeal to a type that wants a stripped down option. This means clean ones can command a hefty price. As for pricing, it...

Also almost $20k cheaper for an equivalently equipped XLT mid-tier model (~$50k vs $70k despite the 150 getting a much fatter discount), plus easier to manage in urban environments. Considering I'd say north of 60% of F-150 drivers never haul anything heavier than their groceries and are mostly...

So sorry to hear. I lost my best bud somewhat suddenly this summer, and we'd fallen out of regular contact because he'd moved back to Newfoundland. So many regrets about all the times I put off calling because I was too busy, too tired, or just plain old distracted. Not the same, I know, but...
