Camp body, or Swing Tackle keeping Neal at RT, and pushing Eluemunor to Guard?

Last night I was looking for something really light to watch. Bingo! I stumbled on The Detectorists, a mildly funny, quirky British comedy about... "the lives of two eccentric metal detectorists, who spend their days plodding along ploughed tracks and open fields, hoping to disturb the tedium by unearthing the fortune of a lifetime."

Exactly the type of show that would never even be considered for a run on US TV, which is perfect for me and right up my alley. Pluto, Tubi, and Freevee all have the first 3 seasons available.

Quote from: Ed Vette on March 20, 2024, 01:28:24 PMits interesting and some dark humor or dry humor. I saw two episodes so far.

That's a series I should probably check out sometime. My bro-in-law and sis-in-law drove up from Santa Barbara today and SIL gave me a couple recommendations - The Righteous Gemstones and Jury Duty. Her recs are typically pretty spot on with what I would enjoy, so I'll probably give them a go.

Quote from: Jolly Blue Giant on March 20, 2024, 01:47:38 PMCall me a freak if you want, but every now and then I like to watch a rom-com. Need a break from killing, nudity, and car stunts every now and then. So last night I watched "Irish Wish" (Lindsay Lohan) - be careful what you wish for... and "Holiday in the Wild" (Rob Lowe & Kristin Davis) - a couple with a teenage son going off to college, and they have tickets to Africa for their second honeymoon, only for the wife to be told her husband is leaving her two days before takeoff, so off to Africa on her own. Both on Netflix

Cute movies...good to watch with your wife or girlfriend. I've been pretty down on Lindsay Lohan lately, but she seems to have all her baggage left behind her and she is a good actress in rom-coms

Which brings me to a question that one of you guys might answer: In the past, female thespians were known as "actresses" and males, "actors"...yet for the last year or so, it seems the term "actress" is no longer used. Is it because of the woke culture that doesn't wish to identify gender in acting??? Just wondering if I'm the only one who notices it 

I haven't noticed, Ric. But then again I can be pretty slow on the up-take.

I finished the first season of the political drama, The Diplomat on Netflix last night. Thoroughly enjoyed this one, and it's easy to see why lead actress Keri Russell was nominated for an Emmy Award.  It also stars Michael McKean (Better Call Saul), as the POTUS, and Rufus Sewell, who I knew I'd seen before but couldn't place him. Had to look him up and then it clicked, (The Man in the High Castle).
Netflix has announced a second season will air later this year. I can't wait. Recommended.

Quote from: Ed Vette on March 20, 2024, 07:53:59 AMDid anyone watch 6 feet under?

I have a friend that used to get together and have watch parties with friends when this show was first aired. She absolutely loved the show. I've never seen it though.

Thanks for your perseverance in getting this resolved, Rich.

Quote from: T200 on March 18, 2024, 09:52:50 AMMy hopes for the season are squarely on his coaching and the production from the offensive line. I'm looking forward to a significant boost in pass protection and run blocking.

I would love to see Singletary outrush Saquon. 

Over the weekend Patty Traina had a very interesting interview with Raiders beat writer Hondo Carpenter discussing this very subject. Perhaps the easiest interview she's ever done. If the things he said about Bricillo are true, fans are going to love him. For those who haven't seen this take the time and watch the interview.

Quote from: Ed Vette on March 16, 2024, 09:12:48 AMWe started it this week too. I like Tia Leone since Family Man.

Is she in this, or are you thinking of Madam Secretary?

Quote from: MightyGiants on March 15, 2024, 06:28:48 PMWe had a major technical problem late this afternoon.  The site is running now, but I am not comfortable with how I got it up and running (the site is now throwing massive error messages, and I fixed that by turning off the error messages).   If it crashes again, it could be down for days, and there may be a need for major repairs etc

Please note, if things go south I will update the BBH Twitter and BBH Facebook to keep everyone updated.

BBH Facebook? I searched for BBH and Big Blue Huddle but came up blank. Can you explain? 

I don't do Twitter/X.

Last night I started another Netflix series, this one is called The Diplomat.

@Bill Brown do you know what the differences are between the SB4 and SB5?

Quote from: MightyGiants on March 14, 2024, 01:14:54 PMI can go the private route, but here in NJ that costs between $50 and $100

That's messed up. IMO, if the state mandate requires you to get your vehicle inspected then it should be done by state licensed inspection stations at a price set by the state. You shouldn't be at the mercy of some service station out to price gouge you.

Quote from: Bill Brown on March 14, 2024, 11:51:08 AMWow. Up here in Maine almost every neighborhood garage and auto dealership inspects vehicles. I get my car inspected at the dealership where I bought it and my wife and daughter get there vehicles inspected at a small garage a few miles from the house.  You do have to make an appointment.   12.00 to inspect one if everything passes.

Bill

That's also pretty much how it was when I lived in NY. In CA we don't even have to have our vehicles inspected, which I find odd. Although every other year we do have to have our emission system tested/certified, or "smogged" as it's called out here.
