  - I back this up. I will break funny bones. -- nm - Max Mar 5, 10:27
  - B99 should be pretty safe for renewal. Its ratings be damned. Now next season it will need to improve.. -- nm - Jovian Mar 5, 10:00 1
    - Im a little bummed by Shield numbers - eag Mar 5, 10:27

      - I was comparing it to Parks and Rec the other day, like each character is a Parks character. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 5, 09:31 1

  - Agreed. -- nm - Krusty Mar 5, 09:54
  - If Vince Gilligan could do the show all over, I wonder if he'd write her character completely differently, and cast someone else. - Inigo Mar 5, 09:31
  - i thought she was a great infuriating part of it. her involvement became such a problem and she was too arrogant to know it. -- nm - colin Mar 5, 09:15 4

  - Yup. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 5, 09:19
colin, andie has a point, you should look into how much a property management company would charge - groiny Mar 5, 09:10 2
- if we left, our friend would take over living there, possible rent to other friends as well. we'd return often enough to do major repairs ourselves. - colin Mar 5, 09:13 1
  - also, to andie's other point, yeah, this is more of an investment. - colin Mar 5, 09:14
I also miss Piccadilly. -- nm - David Mar 5, 09:09 10

  - If so, my work town lost the one we had years ago. - Spawn Lord Mar 5, 09:39 5
    - I don't know what MCL is. It's like Morrison's if you have those. -- nm - David Mar 5, 09:51 4

        Yeah, think so. *Sucks* to not have them as a lunch option here. - Spawn Lord Mar 5, 09:54 2
