  1. How times have changed, the opposite of that is exactly what the NME used to do. Build 'em up and knock 'em down. The second album used to have to pass a quality test much higher than the bar for the first album or you were going to get slated in the NME. Everyone's heard of the "difficult second album", well that saying used to be the difficult third album, NME played a part in that changing, not just them but they were a small part of it.
  2. Cerberus enters the conversation
  3. Maybe Henry sucked a few inches out of you
  4. That could easily have gone further west, still plenty of options at that point Wordle 964 4/6*
  5. He'd obviously collected enough Slack to be able to meet Bob Dobbs or he’s gone off to meet the Xists
  6. Na, I like having a presenter, just has to be the right one
  7. U ok hun? x *couldn’t give a shit really
  8. New St Station wasn't Brutalism, its was steel framed and glass 60s identikit rubbish
  9. There’s already 4 Radio 1s? I’m genuinely shocked, I thought there was only 2 If they are launching new stations can we have the old 6Music back and chuck the current bollocks into that. A channel only playing music from the 50s to 70s, sounds perfect for the afternoon Scouse muppet with his Smashey and Nicey delivery and his team of relatives to “research” rare grooves. There must also be somewhere to chuck that New Heroin Fix from the evening slot whilst we're at it
  10. Nothing you've said there wasn't being said the first time he got elected
  11. We could just ban dogs, sod it ban any form of pet. Just think of the shelf space it would free up in the supermarkets It would encourage people to go out and make friends with other people instead of walking their pampered inbreeding experiments. No shit on the pavements, everyone would be able to afford to go down the pub Only downside I can see is blind people walking into lamp posts but its a small price to pay *I'm joking
  12. They only thought he was a dickhead after he'd been in power, they just thought he was amusing when they voted for him. He's deeply unpopular now. So, similarly, is Sunak but Sunak has never been remotely amusing, to anyone
  13. Those people would be idiots, that was horrible from the moment it opened, even in the 70s when I'd go in there to Beatties the toy/model/subbutteo shop it was a dump, it had two decent shops of any note (the other being Habitat) all the rest sold shite even back then and it was nowhere near as "upmarket" (for what of a better term) as it is now. Also the general flow of people was in or out of the station and not to actually use the shopping centre, that lead to a lot of congestion on the ramp which was both a pain and a barrier to people using it for anything other than the station. It was a design that clearly didn't understand how people would flow, dreadful design.
  14. Which old New Street Station? Imagine having this building still standing instead of sticking a mirror on the outside of a 60's multistory car park. If that was still standing Birmingham would now have a historical landmark hotel right at its heart. We have one in Liverpool which went through various phases after the hotel shut (for decades) was then re-fitted as a student halls of residence for about a decade, now its come full circle and is now a landmark Radisson Hotel again. Most mainline stations had massive hotels like that. That's the one that should never have been knocked down That building on the right of the photo is still standing too When you hear people say the old New Street Station was better.... just so you know, it's this one they are talking about not the shopping centre one with the ramp. The 60s shopping centre one was always shit
  15. If you've never seen Swans, you have no concept of what loud really is
  16. She'll probably want to sit down with him and talk about mindfulness
  17. Not so much distinctive due to the numerous styles he plays but Doug Wimbish is a phenomenal bass player
  18. It's only stopped because the network it was on closed. Farrelly is on record as saying that he has a vision for 7 seasons and everyone involved really wants to do S4, they are just trying to get a studio to do it. Amazon and Netflix are both showing it so maybe one of them might take it up if the figures look good? There is hope for more
  19. phew! Wordle 963 6/6* 4 letters on the second guess!
  20. How so? Prince Harry flying all the way from America to see his dad for ten minutes I just think you have to remember they are the worlds richest most famous dysfunctional family They just don't behave in the same way us plebs do, judging them by normal behaviour is futile Sausage fingers knows he doesn't want to disrupt my annnual leave plans this year
