For me right now it would be Brilliant Corners but KoB would be on the list too and I though Giant Steps might have crept in but that was early 60

That's the news that’s ill conceived. The reason the trains will be slower is because… they aren’t building HS2 up to Manchester so they'll be using the current tracks and the trains don’t tilt because they didn't need to until some dickhead government cancelled the project. It is precisely because HS2 phase 2 got cancelled that that issue exists.

The first article by Computer Weekly was 13 years ago, I doubt very much they knew about it from that. They might have started to have an inkling in 2011 when Private Eye started reporting it. For the 11 years prior to the CW article there was no reason for the government to not believe what the post office was telling them

Well the evidence of my own eyes, says right now the stupid appear to be not falling for it

Also in the CIS latest package is Gordon Chapman-Fox -The Nine Travellers He's also known as Warrington Runcorn New Town Development Plan so its a double dose but this is in his own name and doesn't take the same inspiration for the tunes but it’s more ambient electronics and more in line with what the kids call drone these days. Liking it.

Mini album / EP. First “new” record of the year Warrington Runcorn New Town Development Plan - Live At The Eklectik Arts Lab May 2023 Castles In Space Subscription Library exclusive (White Vinyl version). Arrived in t'post today Sounds ace but I gues this type of stuff is much easier to record live than traditional instruments. Edit: review from the missus, it can stay in bloody Warrington

@Geniemotor manufacturers didn’t provide safety features such as seatbelts as standard until the law made them iirc. They were originally an upgrade. Same for the rear ones

Same with seatbelts etc

watch it do absolutely nothing to the polls

But but but there are Welsh speaking communities in Patagonia, he could have holidayed without the hassle of learning a language

Tony on the other hand...

I think he went to the one in HMVs flagship Shandytown store t'other day He even managed to become a proper fanboy by fawning over them as they were attempting to shoplift some records from HMV as even minorly successful popstars go "How feckin much?"

Rather unusual word for them Wordle 935 4/6*

right now my -4 will probably be Semenyo to Toney as a wild punt given that the FPL world is turning tio shit around everyone's ankles But I could be persuaded to go Alvarez, either way they are just a punt until the return of Haaland

Not convinced by this argument tbh, as time goes on I discover more and more music from the past I like. I'd say a ggod 40% of what I bought last year was originally released in the 60s or 70s, probably about 10% from the 80s, 40% brand new and the other 10% from the rest Bought very little from the 50s if truth be known

Are they? All that does is inflate the bottom line and push house prices further skyward and as you ably demonstrate, they don't get built anyway. Seems like classic Tory nonsense. Governments, whether that be local or national (essentially it will be national where the money comes from) should build necessary infrastructure. Builders just shouldn't be given the land earmarked for such projects in the planning.

Begging for it but...

In fact, here it is. 7” single still there

I know mine should have it but I'll be in deep shit if I try looking now, C is behind the telly

Then it’s a fair Ian price for what it is. The Discogs prices are distorted by the fact most of the copies sold either don’t have the 7” or people are selling just the 7” (for say £15 on its own) that drags the median price way down. A good copy, played but in good condition with the 7” should be north of £60, the one for 35 on Discogs has me highly suspicious as to its double VG+ condition. The 7” is a bit crap anyway

Has it got the free 7” given away with initial copies?

One of those is the former Chief Whip Wendy Morton and former Chairman of the Richmond constituency itself who then found herself a seat in Aldridge just after. They didn’t choose a former local chairman over Sunak, who then went on to become an assistant chief whip in around three years of being an MP. She was also active in a number of campaigns etc that Hague initiated. she was local. She was very much the candidate in waiting

He's a really odd fit for Richmond (Yorkshire) and it’s pretty obvious why he’s their MP because it's one of the safest Tory seats in the country and the local association were asked to elect him for the sake of the party etc. Which actually makes a mockery of his recent comments (or lack thereof) in regards to Peter Bone's successor / girlfriend and letting the local party decide. His predecessor in the seat was William Hague, who couldn’t be more Yorkshire Tory if he tried

@il_serpente moved that discussion to the appropriate thread. Actually you completely misunderstand my dislike of them. I'm not a fan of the traditional taxi model and firmly believe in a second tier, it’s where I've been for the last 25+ years. The traditional taxi model is nonsense and only really works in specific locations like city centres and busy interchanges etc but the model itself is Victorian nonsense and its proponents want to keep their ludicrous model of making the passengers come to them. That’s never what I've been involved with. The UK has had a legitimate second tier since 1976. And that second tier has developed and changed rapidly with technology, whereas the other lot have sat on their arses waiting for passengers to come to them. My dislike of Uber is more to do with their specific working practices and treatment of drivers. They take way too much from the driver and the rating system is highly weaponisable by customers which leads to a whole gamut of unfair removals from the platform. Where most of the US is wrong is allowing Uber to operate in an unregulated fashion. Where some districts have regulated the second tier, like New York for example, they've possibly gone too far in the other direction. It’s the business model and their unfair working practices that I object to. The US needs a second tier, just like the UK has had for nearly half a century, it just doesn’t need Uber and the like. I dislike the traditional taxi almost as much as I dislike Uber
