The New Coffee Room

I'll put out the flag. My wife will make noodle salad (Rummo pasta, DUKE (our plays!) mayo and B&M Baked Beans. I'll cook hot dogs-Nathans (no hamburgers-only the two of us) and yes, happy 250th!

Ok. Two gay guys with identical perfect hair. A black couple and a hijab wearing Muslim with her Lesbian lover. Yes, that looks promising.

I find watching this bloke wandering around in his preppy attire being amazed at the concept of paying a deposit for supermarket carts so funny. Presumably they don't have such things down in Boca Grande.

Radicalized, my arse.

Your boy Rees Mogg can teach Tucker 500 years worth of lessons on being a snob.

He has good hair. Not something I say about many people over 60.

I normally attribute that to "clean living." But there are always exceptions.

as to your question,

there is no question that...

It's time that Israel gets a new government--even if the new government has the same policies as the old one, just time for a change.

I kind of liked him. He kept the economy strong (I don't know if he really did that--but it looked like it) and my generation did ok by him.

Glad you're ok. But just BE CAREFUL. (With all live and respect to peddlers--being dead and right is not a good plan.)

I wouldn't take anything Rupert Lowe says too seriously. He was kicked out of Farage's party for being too right wing. That's like being kicked out of the Gestapo for cruelty.

So you're kind of thinking all of this rape and child molestation is a whole lot of hype? Right?

Either it happened or it didn't. And if it happened maybe there shouldn't be any reaction?

I guess I'm not understanding what you are saying. And it's a British issue, to be sure. But if there are rapist and those rapists rape for ideological reasons (or not) they should be punished and diminished. Don't you think?

Great Britain needs the Second Amendment.

Can there please be some colors let for normal people?

His iPad drawings are wonderful.

One of the new lesser breed of "not cool enough to have hung out with Jeffery Epstein" sexual deviants.

This world is beginning to suck. If Bill Gates can't get away with doing shit--where do we all stand?

Whenever the American citizens are the most peaceable people around is a pretty good day for the USA.

In Florida we have something called Scout. It's like Uber only run by the county. Here's the pricing:

Scout fares are zone-based. The price depends on how many zones your trip crosses:

$4— trips within a single zone
$7 — trips crossing into one additional zone
$10— trips crossing two zones
$14 — trips crossing three zones
A $1 surcharge may apply during peak travel times (6 to 9 a.m. and 4 to 7 p.m.) or when bringing extra passengers or large items.

I'm a senior so I pay 1/2 price. The run VW vans. You just book them on the app and they show up to where you are and take you to where you want to go. (I for one hate getting the dollar surcharge!)

Which in turn leans into the (established idiotic) idea that the grass is always greener.

And yet, some places have been scientifically proven to be better than other places. So why not just gravitate to the better places?

Also: how come Mik turns out to be a f***ing SAINT? (Further: Each and EVERY Phibes joke is just a rehash of old "Are You Being Served" one liners. We just never saw the original program in America.)

Well, I see this entire Iran war as Trump trying to save Israel (and the world) from Iran starting some nuclear apocalypse. I can't imagine any other reason we have all those boats over there. I totally agree Hezbollah are a bunch of monsters and they need to be scoured off the face of the earth but maybe that could be next year's project? Lets just take care of Iran then Israel can do whatever they want in Lebanon. Maybe Netanyahu could take a little longer view of things.
