  1. Those posters may or may not be connected to this video shared by Ukrainian Defence Secretary. Nice Swan Lake reference at the end, that should put the shits up them
  2. The Swifties are gonna get ya But there are lots of songs about New Year The Zombies, Jeff Buckley, The Eagles, Tori Amos, Van the Man and about a million differnt version of AUld Lang Syne And lots I probably can't think of and know.
  3. I am very much in a David Sylvian frame of mind recently
  4. @foreveryounghas some walls you might find interesting
  5. Vests? I seriously haven't worn one since my mum used to dress me I use t-Shirts, because they have an extra use and are much better at what you are claiming vests do but don't really Vests for the bin
  6. We've got a Henry in work, for bog a standard vacuum it sucks (careful now) very well unless the bag is full obviously. Emptying the bag is such a f***ing pain though
  7. Well more accurately its lots of brightly coloured or clear pieces of plastic but yes they aren't very good I have similar feelings about buying Dyson products and using Wetherspoons pubs etc
  8. You know that, one arrived in three minutes bit. It probably means he'd been waiting 20 minutes for a booking. Then on current Uber form he probably recieved half of what was paid, which he'll have to take out the costs of the vehicle including fuel and sky high prices, vehicle rental or insurance plus wear and tear. Using that service you are effectively employing someone on below minimum wage If you are comfortable with that, that's ok Uber started out by taking 20%, then 25%, it's now approaching 50% in the UK. In the US they are a couple of years ahead of the Uber curve, its starting to to hit 66%. If you read all my posts on the subject over the years, this is exactly what I said would happen The only way you get taxis turning up that quickly, is if you have lots of taxis sat around doing nothing In the last two months leading up to Xmas, we've been signing up three to four Uber drivers a week (minimum, sometimes a good few more) who have never used our platform before, then there are the drivers who left to go to Uber and rejined us, that I rarely see because they don't come in for inductions, they just have their Driver App reinstated. Some weeks its easily 10 drivers a week just from Uber.
  9. FIrst it was this... Now I'm halfway through this... Now, the top one is my first press from 1981 and the second is the very quick second press from 1981 (you can tell by the cover) Both are over 40 years old and I find it amazing considering that I used to be a club DJ that records like this still play immaculately. Both of these even in the intro grooves, there's hardly a pop or a crackle. There's no 180g, audiophile quality nonsense about these, they are bog standard releases. This 180g nonsense needs to bugger off back to the classical and jazz communities from where it spawned and reduce the price of records I love both these albums and playing them reminds me I need to get hold of a copy of Organisation that was released between these two. OMDs first three albums were released in little over a calendar year and they are all superb.
  10. Don't buy a Dyson, the battery life is absolutely rubbish. Within 2 years ours wouldn't work for longer than a minute between charges Seriously a plug in vacuum will last you much much longer We replaced ours with a plug in Shark model
  11. We had one of those, they called it the Urgent Care and Trauma Centre It confused people so they changed the sign to Emergency Department Everyone still calls it the A&E because that is what it is and what it always was, except now it has a nice new front, an ambulances only entrance and a helipad Nothing changed except the signs and some new features, same place, same staff And that is the only NHS facility I've known be called Urgent Care. The brand new Royal Liverpool Hospital opened a couple of months back (only 5 years late... cos government / Carrilion). It's called A& E
  12. And what happens if someone turns up there that it turns out needs the Emergency Dept? They then have to be transferred to a different hospital Our system when it works is far more sensible, minor shit stays in the waiting room until a space is available. urgent stuff goes straight to the top of the quene, that way if someone does take a rather sudden turn they are already in the right place. A correctly staffed and funded A&E dept can handle triage and will save more lives and waste less resources than a two base system that relies on some form of self diagnosis prior to arrival The problem at the moment is that triage us effectively done on the phone by a completely unqualified call-handler from a script because of the sortage of beds which results in a shortage of ambulances When ours works and is funded correctly, it is the correct approach
  13. Walker not played for me so far, but I have Ben White on the bench anyway, so that was a kind of built in gamble
  14. Yellow cards a plenty in my team today. Rashford, Trippier, Haaland, KDB
  15. This has been posted before, as that is how I learned of it's existence. It's still fantastic
  16. Selling him was the best bit of business I did in the break.
  17. He has more than one property in the country appararently, the pizza box told them which one he was at, so the story goes
  18. yeah but you live in the same house, thats is definitely something I don't get
  19. Do you live in the same house as your son? Are you aware of the postal strikes?
  20. No transfers, just subbed out Ben White for Walker, if Walker doesn't play, White will Might have vice captained KDB this week
  21. Last person you'd want tips off
