  1. No doubt all you Schmeatles fans will be claiming they wrote the song about a drum machine 20 years before it was released to the world by the Japanese
  2. I think he meant network as in the sheer volume of accounts interacting with each other rather than computing capacity
  3. Reddit, is like a huge Villa Talk. It is essentially a massive forum with subreddits for any subject you care to think of, be as bizarre as you want, it'll exist. Each forum is moderated by usually the creator of the sub and a handpicked team, each sub has it's own rules. It's anarchic and much better IMO that any of the other social media Discord, don't quote me as I never use it, is more like Messenger / Whatsapp
  4. The sooner people remember that being offended is a personal choice and that no-one has the right not to be offended the better. Some people act like being offended is a crime. In a free country it isn't because if it was, it wouldn't be a free country In the real world, if I'm offended by something or someone. I avoid that Words removed like shitbrexitpubchain bloke offend me, I choose not to give him any money. Tories offend me, I choose not to vote for them If being offended was wrong, there would be very few stand-up comedians with a gig Just remember being offended is a personal choice
  5. Yep, like I said, not something I like doing but right now I have no spare cash and price changes by the end of the week may mean I can't do the move I want. A gamble I was prepared to make this week
  6. Stop embarrasing yourself. The dog did it In all my years of anti-canine Internet sleuthery, I have never come across a more guilty dog (I have a book out next week called Dog Watch - Watching the Watchdog - you can buy it here)
  7. Darwin came off injured didn't he? He's certainly yellow flagged for a shoulder injury My Salah choice isn't just for this week, he looks to be in much better and more consistent form than KDB. It's a premium for premium swap. I would have done it this week regardless of the DGW
  8. Why would the dog follow her in? To make sure she was dead?
  9. Made my changes, went with Salah for KDB and Neves for Almiron. My defence & keeper is going to be pretty shit (Ward / Bueno / Akanji / Gabriel) but with 6 DGW players I'm hoping that compensates. At least no chips were used I don't like doing it so early in the week but there is a risk of Salah rising in price and Almiron dropping which would have made the decisions even more difficult Captaining Salah You can all thank me for derailing Liverpool's recovery with this choice.
  10. Dog walker holding multiple black plastic bags that get thrown in the bin, whatever next
  11. See, prime example of a record I never get to see. This was released three weeks ago, not hit Liverpool, not even on CD in Probe, that usually stocks at least the CDs of the Stanley / Wiggs compilations Winter of Discontent A compilation of early post-punk DIY recordings, including early recordings by now revered bands like The Mekons, Scritti Politti, Television Personalities, The Raincoats and The Fall but also from relative unknowns like The Human Cabbages (from Coventry), the Performing Ferret Band and heaps more. This is the stuff Peel used to play in my formative years, I'll always be a sucker for primitive Post-Punk like this
  12. The dogs are using mind control on their walkers now
  13. Yes, definitely. Well I'm not sure about enough but certainly some
  14. Its a different experience for us visitors to the capital, they stock records I just can't get in Liverpool. Sure I can order them of t'interwebs etc but paying postage really pees me off as does having to go to a post office in a small window of opportunity on a Saturday morning when the records got delivered on Monday. I appreciate that its a completely different experience for residents of London and can see why it would annoy but I found some stuff in the second hand section, two items in the reduced second hand section even that I've wanted for some time.
  15. He likes country music, when is he ever going to be up?
  16. Well the one at the top of Brick Lane has bugger all, I went in on Saturday
  17. Don't you start with the conspiracy nonsense...
  18. Another one off the want list and at a knockdown price. Rough Trade had two copies of this in the rack both identical to each other, Ltd Edition silver vinyl. one priced at £12.99 the other at the full price of £21.99, guess which one I bought? A tip for record buyers, always the check the price of all the copies in the shop, especially in the larger shops, you can often find discrepancies like this Ahead of his new album due in a month or so, This is two albums ago BC Camplight - Deportation Blues. I know I have a certain reputation for obscurity with music but his work really does deserve far more exposure than it gets. People whose exposure to modern alt-rock (hate that term) is around the Arctic Monkeys / The National / Foals really should give BC Camplight a go, he deserves to be mentioned alongside them. Musically, they aren't comparisons btw, just the same level of talent
  19. Am I right in saying that Parliament has yet to approve the new boundary changes? That could be intetresting in itself
