If you'd ever been given a warm Bud Light and felt obliged to drink it out of politeness, you'd dream of a Stella.

The Cure are playing Disintegration (3 shows) at the Sydney Opera House and every person in the Southern Hemisphere has been trying to get tkts.
There has been a ballot, and my mates and I got nuthin. I tried to buy grey market and almost got scammed.
We’ve decided to go there on the Sat night and watch the connected yuppies who got tickets without even needing to enter the ballot, and the handful of genuine balloteers stream into the Grand Old Girl, before going to the Botanical Gardens next door to sit under a fig tree, smoke doobs and listen to the album on a speaker.
When it comes to Cure songs, I like Object and Charlotte Sometimes best.

There's lots that could be said about this, but ultimately, there is real expertise and insight on OTF, and genuinely engaged interaction, on a good clutch of subjects that I just don't find elsewhere. Off the top of my head, that amazing thread from Etienne about Caribbean cricketers from each island, Janik's extraordinarily detailed posts on tennis, imp on refereeing, and many more. Ursus, GY and more on American politics; countless insightful posts recently by laverte; loads more. Certainly when it comes to the ice hockey world championships, this will be the place I come.
I still find this place indispensable, and as to exactly how it's better or worse, I don't think about that often.

Oh, yeah, I mean ,I just see his briefer stuff on Facebook and it is spot on. Also, when there is a lot of whataboutery to do with Syria and Yemen (which are, of course, important), it is good to have that channel of information.

I know it's not really what they are mostly about, but A compilation of the Cure's euphoric songs would probably be the greatest pop album ever.Last edited by The Awesome Berbaslug!!!; 14-05-2019, 14:53.
