I knew that but I was shocked to discover that the Derbyshire colony is now thought to be extinct

Yes but you're talking about someone who fantasizes about trombone players sticking trumpets up his arse Expect the unexpected

I still want to hunt down Ethan Pinnock and do him massive harm But hey ho Top 180K finish so roughly top 2.5% in the world isn't bad for my first season back since forever.

Lets see how long Michelle Mone gets for her £100m profits from PPE that was largely useless

Apologies for quoting myself but I'm finding I'm playing this quite a bit. I do think it is going to be up a few of your collective streets This is the single from the album that was released earlier in the year…

It’s Schrödinger squared because they also say they haven’t got them

This pisses me off. Only Sir Ron Saunders got a free pass on this crime

Plus the Belgorod Incursion only last week

Yep, I figured it was that and not the US release. There's not much difference in the value between US and UK versions anyway

@rjw63 You might want to check the price of that on Discogs, Thats the first four albums plus Green Desert which had never been released before that Box Set, the median price is being dragged down by a couple of outliers, if thats in good nick and they are all there with the booklet, thats gotta be worth about £50 and if you ignore the outliers the trend on price is actually climbing. Phaedra is the album that came after those first 4 and was their first for Virgin, it was something of an accident, they were pissing about with a Moog synth they'd just got and had the tape running, they liked it and just added stuff to it, it kinda shaped their output for years after that Thats the stuff of theirs I like the most tbh but I also think they are one of the least interesting of the bands from the Kosmiche scene. The best Album Edgar Froese was on was William Shatner's Learn To Fly

Nah at least Daphne and Celeste caused a reaction, thats far better than the complete indifference of this crowd. Daphne and Celeste were put in that situation deliberately because it had become a Reading tradition and someone had to be that act. They got to generate publicity out of that Royal Blood just bored the arse off thousands of people and reacted like it was the crowds fault they are boring That wasn't their first appearance at Big Weekend either, they've done it before

Tangerine Dream. Is it from the 70s? Does it include Phaedra? Which 6 album box set is it?

I thought that was a cocktail maker

It’s even worse when someone “curates” a festival. They put a gig on.

The word curated when used in connection with making a playlist As a side note to this, there was a trailer on 6Music for some show that was a playlist put together by the band Jockstrap, not only did they have the most uninteresting monotonal voices but the fella said curated in a particular way that really grated on me. Fecking curating a playlist, sod off you pompous words removed And yes I know it’s the definition of the word, that’s why it’s in here and it pisses me off because it just used to be used in relation to museum and art galleries. They'll be calling DJs Sonic Curators next. (Remember you heard it here first!)

Pinnock 15 points off the bench for my rival. Word removed.

The UK supermarket model is that they just about break even on staples anyway. More Tory nonsense

Went for the -4 Rashford / Douglas Luiz in for Grealish / Mitoma. If Mitoma plays and hauls I'll blame myself
