Travelled back in time and the past is shite.

Fair enough. Maybe I should stick with it then. Thanks for the alternate viewpoint.
- Comment on What TV shows have aged the best, and what TV shows have aged the worst? 2 days ago:
Currently on Season 4 of Star Trek: The Next Generation with my daughter. It has aged shockingly well for something that aired nearly 40 years ago. Granted, Season 1 was a bit rough and some of the filler episodes were…dodgy at best (the alcoholic bringloidi (“dreamers” in Irish) for example with the fuckin’ straw on the floor, leprechaun accents and pigs in the cargo bay was rude AF tbh).
Two series that I tried to watch but couldn’t because I felt they were long past their sell by date:
- Babylon 5
- The West Wing

Yeah that part did stick with me too. For what it’s worth I’d say most Irish adults have been to the US at some point and had a great time so it’s all quite a bit of confusion and horror.
We know right well that there are lots of really good folks there too though and Michael does a great job of portraying that in the clip.
He’s a good lad. We’re all very fond of him.

He’s a super lad but you wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of him. This is one of my all time favourite bit of radio where he absolutely eviscerates someone against Obamacare at the time.
It’s from 2010 and 4 minutes long. Honestly couldn’t recommend enough that everyone who reads this gives it a listen.
Some light swearing at the end.
- Comment on Opinion | We Need a Reminder of What the Pre-Vaccine Era Was Like 1 week ago:
There’s a nice old American man I know. He told me a story about his class going on an outing to the beach just before spring break. When they returned he found out that one of his classmates had died from Polio.
He was so angry at the existence of anti-vaxxers and their bullshit privilege that herd immunity gives them.

My wife and all my kids are deathly afraid of spiders. I put them all outside and I’m happy that’s the example I’m setting.
Spider bro, spider bro, keeping that fly population low.

I dunno. Apparently she’s the daughter of a wealthy man who just needs my help to get his fortune out of Poland.

Got my one today. Finally part of the gang.
Has anyone actually bothered engaging?

- Comment on At what point in the relationship should I move in with my girlfriend? 4 weeks ago:
Moved in with my wife fairly shortly after we started dating. I’d say within 3-4 months. It just felt right to both of us. Married 20 years now.
- Comment on I feel my life is empty. Is there any way to stop this? 5 weeks ago:
I can’t emphasise how badly you need to travel. I’m old and very well travelled, much of it for work, like easily 20 countries all across the globe and it has been a huge eye opener to experience different cultures, foods, make friends with fellow travellers, locals and has broadened my horizons on so many fronts.
Yes it can be expensive but it is something you will never regret if you can scramble the money together for it. Embrace it. Deeply.
If you’re in North America you can experience lots of cultures and experiences like the national parks in the US very reasonably. I’m guessing you’re not in Europe because travel is cheap AF here.
I honestly think it will bring down many of the current barriers you express.

When you say “until I close my eyes” does that mean I revert to being a male non-millionaire after?
If so, definitely rewriting my will to give everything to the old me when I revert. Yoink!
- Comment on Colm Meaney to Receive Irish Academy's Lifetime Achievement Award 2 months ago:
Haha. I’m not a huge brown sauce aficionado myself but HP is the gold standard in the UK and Chef is the big one in Ireland is my understanding. If there’s any British or Irish shops near you or even supermarket sections they’ll have it.
It’s like a more savoury ketchup I suppose. Bit more bite to it too. The thoughts of it in tea though. Jaysus. Just no.
- Comment on Colm Meaney to Receive Irish Academy's Lifetime Achievement Award 2 months ago:
If you don’t mind me asking, are you from a part of the world where brown sauce is a thing?
I’m laughing here.
- Comment on Colm Meaney to Receive Irish Academy's Lifetime Achievement Award 2 months ago:
Wildly late but your comment did cause me to rewatch Intermission. What a great flick. The opening scene had stuck with me from before because it’s so well done but the brown sauce bit was amazing and overall it’s such a fun watch.
- Comment on Looking for 4K bluray recommendations 2 months ago:
Thanks. That’s solid advice. I did hear that about True Lies but mostly forgot about it as I didn’t have a player at the time and it wouldn’t be very high on my rewatch list.
I did find Aliens superb but it was my first run at 4k Blu-ray and I believe some folks weren’t super happy with it but not at the True Lies level.
- Comment on Looking for 4K bluray recommendations 2 months ago:
Oh that’s a great one.
- Comment on Looking for 4K bluray recommendations 2 months ago:
That is great information. Thank you.
- Comment on Looking for 4K bluray recommendations 2 months ago:
This I’m really considering. Thanks for the recommendation.
- Comment on Looking for 4K bluray recommendations 2 months ago:
Thanks! And congrats to you too. If you don’t mind me asking, where did you get the deals?
I’m in Ireland and haven’t seen much beyond Amazon yet and I feel like Bezos has enough money so I’d like to buy elsewhere, wallet allowing. :)
Browsing today I did see that they have a 3 for 40 pounds (just under 50 USD) deal on quite a few which is tempting.

- Comment on I have to fly back home. My brother was forcebullay taken to the hospital for thirty days do to a mental attack. My quest is I have not carry on's or anything beside the ticket. Will the TSA target me 2 months ago:
My dad used to say that all you really need when traveling is your passport, tickets and cash and that’s true enough IMO.
It’s brave though. At a minimum I always take clean t-shirt, undies and socks. It has paid off more than once.

Wow. That is very exciting to hear. Thanks.
