  1. You more than me, I don't find it anywhere near as offensive as the original material. It's only The B**tles because they tell you it is. The most offensive thing about sampling like this is that its dumb, they are literally throwing money at people for nothing Take than first one posted Run. You get a bassist and a guitarist in the studio to replicate that very simple (obvs cos its Da Beadles) guitar and bass line phrase. Then use that. its no longer a sample and you cannot claim royalties for such a small segment of music, you can't even claim to own it. More money for the artist. We had this situation with a sample of Diamanda Gallas in a song a band we were managing were recording. We applied to Diamanda Gallas to use the sample, she point blank refused permission. OK, walked upstairs to another office along the corridor from ours, an office of vocalists and a choir. Who can replicate this? So and so can hit that range. When can she get here and how much does she want? One hour - 50 quid, sign disclaimer, job done.
  2. Speak for yourself there Mr Ex-Tory Tory Wannabe. I really cant get enough of the blue on blue

  5. Similar story, a lad I was in school with was another child genius. Streets ahead of anyone else in school. Went to Cambridge became a professor no less. Eventually took his mathematical brain into politics, became LibDem MP and worked his way up the greasy pole to become Pensions Minister in the Coalition government Lost his seat at the next election. Politically, thick as mince. And seriously, he’s the cleverest person I’ve ever known.
  6. Its an improvement on the last fella who just used to put the ball hard left past his own goalkeeper at the start of every match. At least it's forward thinking
  7. They are and Waitrose give me a voucher most weeks for 2.50 off
  8. Yep, stood on top of it myself, just about in the position that video was taken

    Actually, If I win big tonight I might buy a little penthouse in the centre for the odd visit
  10. I expect most of the Cabinet to be pretty similar to Johnson's if Truss wins. Badenoch in it for sure, maybe the likes of Grant Shapps will be bounced, hell she might even give Tugendhat a junior role but I fully expect Javid. Zahawi, Patel et al to be still there.
  11. Only because it would have f***ed off to Asia
  12. Doesn't look quite as dramatic as it sounded though
  13. Explosion and FIre reported at the Hoover Dam in Nevada

    Fer christs sake, its not just public transport that you Londoners are spoiled with THIRTY fire engines for a grass fire in Upminster, Thirty... Thirty thats 30 for one fire. We'd be calling in engines from Warrington Manchester Lancashire and Cheshire to get thirty fire engines for one fire

    Normal day with Northern Fail at Manchester Victoria, you Londoners
  16. Did more to get Johnson elected than any other politician in Parliament
  17. Going back to this one, ignoring the flipping burgers crap. That last sentence (Also ignore the Mordor one, not referring to that) "What I want to do is cut fuel duty but we need to look at why the cost-of-living is rising and the problem is inflation" Why does she need to look at it? Everyone else in the country can tell her. Brexit and Energy Prices Someone also needs to tell her that inflation is an effect not a cause I know she's out of it now but I also fully expect her to be in the first cabinet announced if Truss as expected becomes PM
  18. Nope, Starmer will destroy him too. Out of Touch, unable to comprehend the lives of ordinary people yadda yadda. He's not Johnson, he can't get away with it Labour have nothing to fear in either of Truss or Sunak. Both of them are particularly weak when being questioned off any script they imagined was there. Neither will have the overwhelming command of their party either, the opposition to both of them internally will be huge, Johnson also had a huge majority of support. The backbiting on both of these candidates will start the moment they are elected
  19. This was in the days before the minimum wage, she would have been on 3.25 per hour back then. A 40 hour week would have earned her less than 7K per year
  20. Wait until she gets the Boris Seal of Approval (just look at who is backing her)

  23. This is irrelevant, she was 16 and attending college full time and the wage McDonalds paid her was so far below any taxation theshold at the time she could have worked for considerably more hours and not paid a penny in tax
