Europe lead the US 10-6 going into the final day’s Single Play…

As it stands Europe need 14.5 to win, the US requires 14 to retain the trophy - with 12 points to still play for in the Singles on Sunday.
 

Some cracking golf on display from both sides over the last couple of days - hope it continues tomorrow.

Well in Europe - winning the Ryder Cup 17.5 to 10.5 - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/live/golf/44076483

Molinari was superb - 5 points from possible 5. Sergio Garcia now the highest European scorer in Ryder Cup history (25.5 pts).

Europe have now won 9 of the last 12 Ryder Cups.

Unfortunately there’ll be no ‘Big Sleeve Editions’ of Solo in the UK:-

Big Sleeve Edition Fans - Facebook page

Hopefully someone else will produce them, or someone in another country will make them available.
 

The quality for TFA, TLJ and Rogue One ‘Big Screen Editions’ releases were great - with a real retro vinyl vibe going on with them - ot.com thread link
 

Am almost tempted to try some of the instructions for a custom-made cover in ^…^'s quality ‘custom made laserdisc/vinyl covers for blu-rays/DVDs’ thread - if there is some enough decent quality (and sized) art available.

Maybe stuff like this…

Hi Aratus, and welcome to the site 😃

Really enjoyed your video and can see the work that went into making it - very nicely done.

It may also be worth (if you get a further take-downs of the video) to also upload to somewhere like vimeo? (who don’t seem to suffer anywhere as many video removal requests 😉)

Hopefully you’ll find a few other Edits and Projects of interest here - see how other editors have approached and executed their releases.

The Ryder Cup tees off later this week…

Am not usually interested in the golf - though this tournament is a little different as it’s a team competition; with the US taking on Europe - and usually serves up some great golf, tension, atmosphere and finale.

This time around it’s being played at the ‘Le Golf National’ course in Paris, France - from the 28th to the 30th September.

(Quality post, Puggo. Capaldi is my favourite since Ecclestone’s short term, though I do wish he’d had better writing for some of his tenure - or at least more stories focusing on him.)

In that case, I apologize. Next you may want to it more clear what it is you are talking about.

Next time try reading what is posted - before replying.

(other sites)

I make my posts pretty clear, and if anyone has an issue with them they are always welcome to ask questions or talk about them with me (or even PM me) - this is a discussion forum after all. Though I don’t really appreciate being cast with incorrect aspersions (not many people do at all, I imagine).

Though I accept your apology - even with whatever you wrote after it as some sort of redundant caveat / excuse as to why you wrongfully (and seemingly narcissistically) read into and then posted what you did - despite my already stating it was not about anything on here.

Cheers.

Hypocrites. Man, they can do your head in at times. Thankfully best avoided and ignored - and thanks to the ability to leave PM threads (other sites) where slating others behind their backs is seemingly the main purpose - a godsend.
 

Either explain what you mean by calling me a hypocrite or stop it. This is the second time you’ve done that.

The threads behind your back were a direct result of your forum moderation. If people didn’t fear repercussions like getting
temp or perm banned, the discussions could have been had with you face to face.

As stated - not on about here.

If I have something to say to you I’ll come out and say it - I’ll leave making snide comments to others whose MO that is.
 

Any questions or issues re arising from ‘forum moderation’ were answered at the time - and, if I recall correctly, nothing was followed up to after Jay & my replies at the time.

As stated to before, if anyone had issues with me they were/are always free to PM me.

I’ll leave the conversation there - as it wasn’t about you (or anything to do with this site) in the first place - though am not surprised you tried to make it so.

Bartenders who ‘call time’ and give a ‘5 minutes till closing’ call minutes after they’ve served a bar full of customers - with the promoted boxing on tv still ongoing.

^ No worries mate. Hopefully there’ll be a lot more art like this after IX too - especially useful for custom Saga blu ray and dvd covers etc.
 

Edit: from when the Saga was just the PT and OT, I quite liked this… (though would have liked a more ESB-era orientated Yoda)

I’ve considered watching Dr. Who. I have no idea where to start. Can someone point me in the right direction? Should I just watch the best episodes to see if I like the concept? Should I start with a certain series? Does it matter? I’d like to know because I think it’s daunting.

If you have the time mate (and patience)… I’d opt to start with the 1st of the new seasons - 2005 with Ecclestone as The Doctor - only 178 episodes and some Christmas Specials to go 😉
