  1. I think I'm going to have to dig that out to play now
  2. You can just go into the IKEA returns department and ask for some new ones, so if you know the product numbers you can post them here and he could just go in and ask for them
  3. I'm not even convinced that Twitter advertising was effective, even pre-Musk. I'd be amazed if many people interacted with promoted tweets. They are way too easy to spot and scroll past.
  4. Nah, I think the Moscow Golden Showers photos will rise above the noise (That is if they actually exist)
  5. It's a huge gamble I'm toying with but like you say..... hell of a brave move
  6. I think it's because the template is currently 3-5-2 so people are packing midfield as there are loads of options but that reduces the money available for a second striker. It's also because the current template also includes TAA at the back, which again limits the spending upfront. If Kane's future was decided, then that may also massively change the thinking. EDIT: and of course Arsenal's opening fixtures The problem is, having a stiker at that price point does reduce your transfer options moving forward, something will have to be sacrificed in Midfield.
  7. That could easily have gone west, just fortunate that my word to narrow down the options was the word Wordle 758 3/6
  8. Humans are evolving to have less hair
  9. Your lack of cultural awareness is no-one’s problem but your own
  10. Until Russia changes its name to That F***ing Country I will refuse
  11. Some game of tennis this, it’s got the highs and lows the villain and the good guy and the necessary ebbs and flows hoping Alcraraz can close this out now. Not a big tennis fan but I really do despise Djokovic as a human being
  12. If it was called Love missile F111 and they launched the “contestants” in ballistic missiles into a deserted island in the middle of the Pacific and just turned the cameras off after he explosion, I might watch that
  13. Maybe if he couldn't sing you'd like him To be honest,as much as I think he was a genius, I think he also owed a huge debt of gratitude to Jean Claude Vannier (and indeed Birkin)
  14. I’ve seen a grand total of 00:00:00 hs/min/sec of Love Island and I knew it would be shite
  15. A Brit won the junior men’s final on number one court earlier, first time since the 60s I think. The missus was there watching it.
  16. Other stuff about Jane Birkin… She had a very minor part in the infamous 60s film Blow Up, it was important though because it was her nude scene that caused all the fuss and she did it because John Barry said she wouldn't dare walk on set naked. She appears in a lot of this British Psychedelic movie of the late 60s including Wonderwall (she played Penny Lane) which was also George Harrison’s first soundtrack and I think Apple records first release (it’s got sitars all over it) She might have sung Je t'aime but it was written for Brigitte Bardot, there was a lot of jealousy between he two but later appeared opposite Bardot as her lover in the film If Don Juan was a Woman I think one of her parents was a WWII spy Hermes named their iconic handbag after her in the 80s, the Birkin Bag is still hugely popular today She was an absolutely fascinating character
  17. Would never get released today. A concept album about an illicit affair between a 35 year old man and a 15 year old girl. Some people consider it Gainsbourg's greatest album (I don't as it happens) and one of the best French language pop music albums ever (probably true) It is the work of a genius but Birkin rarely gets the credit for the influence she had on Gainsbourg's work during their period together (definitely his golden period) Another for those we live in different times conversations It's an album much lauded even to this day, I can only assume by people who don’t really know it’s subject matter because they’ve never read up on it. And for the record it is brilliant, just no his greatest imo
  18. Yeah but spend it on something you haven’t already got you bought a record that you’ve already got because it was pressed in another country and has less of a cover than usual
  19. Jane Birkin, actress, singer, ex-wife of John Barry, ex-partner of Serge Gainsbourg mother of Charlotte Gainsbourg, activist etc etc gone at 76. One hell of a life (not all good - the Gainsbourg relationship must have been difficult) but also hugely influential on that Gainsbourg sound and that’s on top of her own achievements in cinema and singing
  20. Nothing, debts that aren’t covered by the estate do not get passed on to the inheritors
  21. Until last week when he turned into an utter dick, showing exactly why he didn’t get the head of NATO job
