  1. Anyone come across, these Go - 24 Hour Service petrol stations? Completely self service but you can use notes as well as card. I used one for the first time today. Diesel £1.48.9 a Litre, thats 20p a litre less than my local cheapest non-supermarket. (or approx 90p a gallon cheaper). 300 meters up the road is a BP - £1.64.9 - madness
  2. £10 a month subscription for CDs or £5 for download only. As sooon as you jin you get access to a load of subscription only albums (I think I just quickly counted 22) There's even more on the Castles in Space Sub club (£15 months for vinyl, £5 for download)
  3. Cripes who thought a Yacht Rock version of a Glen Campbell song could actually be worse than it sounds
  4. I only read that sentence. I hope the rest wasn't as crackpot as that one
  5. She absolutely would, her Deputy Leader position is elected by the membership, now that doesn't automatically mean she's in the cabinet but should something happen to Starmer. she'd have to take over, so she really does need to know what is going on, for her not to be in the cabinet would be unthinkable really
  6. I did buy books there once when the old cinema was a remaindered stock warehouse but that was years ago. Last time I went I bought a Snapped Ankles album and had a conversation with the bloker in that shop, decided he was a complete unknowledgeable div within 30 seconds, then went to the big 2nd hand shop briefly and bought the Red Guitars album for buttons. Definitely go back to the big 2nd hand shop and spend hours in there Books, meh. Nice cafe for Welsh cakes and a pot of tea I seem to recall. Proper Welsh Italian Cafe (The Bracchi - a cultural phenomenon of Wales)
  7. I'm fairly convinced that I've never watched anything on Channel 5
  8. Better second-hand record shops in Hay-on-Wye and books, tons of books But Bewdley has steam trains and white tigers It's a toss up
  9. Wanting to abolish the directly elected mayoral position maybe? Exactly the same happened in Liverpool all three prospective Mayoral candidates were told they couldn't stand because all three wanted to abolish the DEM. I'd describe the three candidates as Centre, Left and Very Left, one black two white The extgreme left of the party jumped up and down in exactly the same manner, stitch up, local representation (ignoring the obvious elephant in the room as here), racism (the black candidate was the most left wing), sexism (all three candidates were female), one candidate even attempted to sue the Labour Party (and lost, heavily). None of the accusations were true, they eventually elected a black woman from the same ward as the other black candidate who happened to share a name similarity with the outgoing disgraced outgoing Mayor (which wasn't even close to ideal) If you are a political party, that has concentrations in urban areas why in your right mind would you want to get rid of en elected mayoral position that you are nailed on to win The answer in Liverpool was because it was a knee jerk reaction to the corrupt incumbent, I suspect in Leicester the answer is somewhat differnt and is down to policy differences between the elected mayor and some councillors, There was similar feeligs by a minority of Labour councillors in Liverpool, they've left and formed an independent group and will in all likelihood become an irrelevance over the coming election cycles The idea that removing elected mayors is somehow more democratic is obviously a question rarely answered by those that oppose them. Starmer and the Labour Party are obviously against removing DEMs so can't have candidates who differ on that
  10. Can you just imagine the shite coming out of the knuckle draggers if that was a thing ”it’s not Greater Aston is it” etc.

    Pilgrimages

    What band was from Merthyr? Guernos Estate with their cover of Saturday Nights Alright for Fighting? At least it wasn’t Aberdare. Mind you I could do a tour of places I though Kelly Jones was a Representative for Wellingborough for a quick buck
  12. You aren't narrowing this down much
  13. Maybe he just thought, "This watch is silly, I've got a phone that tells the time"
  14. Wait until you spot an industrial cream machine
  15. Public perception is far more important that actual rules (or lack thereof) at this juncture That its not against any rules also angers people
  16. See you're depraved, I thought it was Young Sheldon's mum that was turning him on

  18. Less than half a million viewers, it gets far more attention than it deserves
