Plan B Forum

Is British TV (and Irish and Welsh and Scottish TV) really that much better than USA TV, or am I just revealing my Anglophilia? Granted the short list of best TV series of all time weighs heavily American made, but on the average I find UK productions are a step above. Some of it is the format. The...

Saw this awhile back (which means at least a week). I agree, very good series.

This is no laughing matter.

Sorry for your loss Eddie. Dogs are the best.

I guess I should get traveling to some more places, with 130 using Econo's "Stayed/Visited/Stopped" definitions.

So Joe is correct.

The decline of blacks playing baseball has been a topic for nearly 20 years. Basketball and football have simply out-competed baseball for black players.

'tis such a waste

And no socks.

which everyone knows was burned to the ground two years ago by armies of BLM and Antifa super-soldiers and is now just a barren wasteland? Not too far from the truth, though they are just one of the triumvirate that have ruined downtown (office vacancy rate has gone from 10% to 40%). Explosion of h...

It has become more and more of a thing to dress up, and it is common to see people at retail jobs dressed in costume during the entire month. It is also more common to see houses decked out early in the month. As for Halloween itself, one of the trends we see is that kids trick or treat in just a fe...

Presidents have to be able to go on trips, even purely political electioneering trips like the one Biden is on. But man what a pain in the a$$.
