What's everyone up to right now?

[Little lunch]

Just took the dog for a walk.

No Red Devils I'm afraid. Who else was there...

Apologies if I screw up any of the names:

B17 bomber
"Swordfish"
The "Flying Fortress" (was this the B17? I forgot)
Model displays, including an amazing one where a real plane and a model did a duo
Spitfires and hurricanes
A guy who had modified an old plane many times to allow him to do mental tricks in it
A parachute display, where they had some sort of thrusters to glide around once released
"The blades" who did some great formation flying
A team of 4 different coloured planes who flew through gaps and burst balloons, and "flower bombs"!?
Some other fucking huge bomber, with controlled explosion special effects. I didn't hear them explain this, and I genuinely thought they had blown something up!
Something called... Cantolena? Something like that. It could land on water and was good at taking out submarines.

This needs to happen more:

Sounds great.

You're right, the B-17 is the Flying Fortress. My grandfather flew in one as a navigator during WWII, MIA in 1943.

I listened to your music Rob and found myself with a strange grin that quickly became quite uncomfortable.
Even after I stopped the music, it still took a minute for the weird grin to wear off.
I think that music might be dangerous.

Was just reading my emails and got an email from VanityPlanet telling me that the product I ordered is out of stock and it's going to be 1-2 weeks til they get it back, plus another 2-3 days until it gets here from America.

Ugh.

And now I'm just browsing AF.

[Lucanus]

I was studying when I thought "hey it's been a while since I've checked AF"

Fuck, it's good to be back

Sitting in bed ready to go to sleep but can't because I'm following the Costa Rica vs Colombia football match and being all like WHAAAAAT that Costa Rica has the lead JUST HOLD ON DUDES (if CRC wins, the USA probably plays Ecuador in the quarterfinals of the Copa America (16 team tournament from North, Central and South America). If (heavily-favored) Columbia fights back to a draw or wins, the USA likely gets Brazil in the QFs. You know... just wanted to provide some context.)

Fixed.  

You do know the English have been using soccer to describe the game for longer than football. And it's only with the advent of that Australian criminal's broadcasting regime has football become the preferred choice.

3-2 CRC. USA wins Group A.

Hells yeah!!! Who woulda thunk it?!

If favorites Brazil defeat Peru and Ecuador defeat Haiti, the USA will play Ecuador in the quarterfinals, a quite winnable match on home soil. Of course, Peru could "pull a Venezuela" and throw a monkey wrench into the whole thing by winning, but even then the USA would likely play Ecuador. Only way the U.S. Draws Brazil now is if Peru wins and Haiti manages a result against an Ecuador squad that will be playing all out (I put that scenario around maybe 5%)

As it stands I'd rather be playing a rudderless Brazil who've no penetration, as Neymar's saving himself for Rio.

It was more just "banter" with the yanks, but I actually didn't know that. Everydays a school day.
