Today I learned that you can call for an Uber or a Lyft without an app. I searched for this information because the taxi company my spouse has relied on for years to get him to the airport appears to have disconnected their phone number. Seems they've finally been beaten by the apps. My spouse has a work smartphone, but he can't install apps because he doesn't know the password to the account on the phone. I told him he needs to call his IT guy at work and get it already.

One of the drummers for ABBA, Slim Borgudd, raced in Formula One. ABBA even sponsored him.

Yesterday I learned that you are at your most infectious for spreading Sars-Cov-2 several days BEFORE you have sufficient viral load to test positive on the LFTs available in the UK. Wonderful.

That they’re remaking Inside Number 9 in America.
I mean, I could bring up the common joke of British properties being remade for American audiences but I don’t really understand how you can remake an anthology series?

A potential case of Lost in Translation if ever there was one. Regards mark687 It’s just odd. How would remaking it make it more accessible to American audiences? Personally, I’m just wondering who the trans Atlantic equivalent of Shearsmith and Pemberton would be.

TIL....
Laurence Luckinbill, who played Sybok in Star Trek V and is married to Lucille Ball & Desi Arnaz's daughter (I knew that bit already), is also the uncle of the Wachowskis, of The Matrix fame.
WHAT

That famed television chef of yesteryear Fanny Cradock also penned children’s books as well.
She was very much way before my time but I might have to track some of these down.

That there is now a comic series where relics of yesteryear the Madballs and the Garbage Pail Kids face off against one another.
Alright then.

Old post, but in case anyone's wondering, arranging for a Lyft to the airport in this instance didn't work for my spouse, even though he set up a confirmed pick up time. The Lyft driver didn't show, he had to call my sister for a ride to the airport, and he ended up missing his flight.

Was just watching a random youtube of an American "reacting" to Australian facts and footage involving animals. Apparently there are a couple places here that snow that has more snowfall on average than the Swiss Alps..
I did not know that, considering we are technically the dryest continent in the world.

My nephew and niece have been handling plane flights since they were 4. They are a handful and can be very active and hard to control. And LOUD.
Still, they made it to the holiday destinations (2 hours away) and back without being killed by the other travellers. Your kid gives me the impression of being at least 200% better behaved.
I just get a sense of you looking for excuses.... short of your kid having issues with the ears, I do not see anything....
