  1. Have you tried that since Deliveroo / Uber Eats / Just Eat started? The pavement outside the one by the office is now litered with illegally parked mopeds, inside most of them is a massive congregation of delivery drivers waiting for their orders The Drive-Thru is the new going in
  2. Yep the stylist has just Moonied Pop Star outfits from the '70s and '80s
  3. You have no point of reference with your cocker knees, you think they are great because you've never ventured north to the frozen wastelands in case you might catch something like fiscal prudence
  4. See even the chippys are paved with gold And you can get a bus home without opening them and they'll still be hot when you get home
  5. I just had a look at recent pictures of Harry Styles and his so called outrageous outfits There is absoltely nothing new. In just a few pictures I saw Elvis, Bowie, Brian Ferry, Bowie, Alvin Stardust and Bowie again and possibly even Elton John. Oh and Kevin Rowlands too
  6. I think deep down they all get it even Mad Nad but they'll fall one of three ways Defend it to the hilt regardless because it's a good look internally to be seen kicking the cat around Hide under a rock and say nothing (the vast majority) Say something and be a Tory pariah until Johnson's gone I think group three will slowly become larger with every lunatic dead cat story that appears The general public will see through this one just like they've already seen through the new cost of living help, which again was desperation because they wanted to announce it much later. Now they've announced it early and had to jump through hoops to pretend it isn't the same as Labour policy and a policy they voted against only last week it's had minimal impact because it's been seen as exactly what it is Quite happy to have Johnson in charge for a good while yet. Though any more polling like the normally Tory biased YouGov one and things may take move much more quickly than I'd want Oh and for once Imperial Measures being brought back is definitely a dead cat
  7. I've never found a decent chippy in London, they exist but... *shakes head*
  8. it's parsley sauce made to the consistency of piss. Bloody southern savages
  9. No, they don't exist in my circle of friends and aquaintances. I've met some of the more vocal ones in the cab, never met one that wasn't a Representative for Wellingborough My point is that you can't base the wider public on your own social circles, we gravitate to like minded souls Going back to the original point, you don't get shifts like we're currently seeing in polling because voters suddenly became Shy Tories. If Brexit did teach us anything about voting intentions and their tribal nature, it's that people tend to stubbirnly stick to their tribe despite them deep down knowing the evidence stacks up against them
  10. Londoners don't do fish and chips. Pie and mash, jellied eels etc. It's what sets us apart, their lack of taste and decorum
  11. Your experience is irrelevant I don't know many people who've ever voted Tory or voted for Brexit, those people do exist though in vast numbers
  12. It's definitely the by-line about the whale thats makes that all the better
  13. Not at all. There were very few shy brexiteers, they were far more outweighed by complacent remainers who didn't vote because they thought Remain would win anyway The Shy Tory theory was debunked by the British Polling council who found that the polling companies methodolgy was wrong in the 2015 election. The only other Shy Tory election was 1992 where there was again a big error in the polls vs the result but only about 25% of that 8% error was down to Shy Tories, there were again other bigger factors at play These people who've suddenly shifted from Tory to Labour in the polls weren't shy two months ago, what would make them suddenly shy now?
  14. The very fact it's in TKMaxx means something
  15. History says that the number of public pronouncements about Tory Leadership does not equal letters to the 1922 committee. Lots more told May to go than actually handed Brady letters
  16. Walkers did a breakfast one that tasted mainly of egg, they were effin rank There's a reason they are half price
  17. The USA will not be going down that road at all. DOn't confuse Henry Kissinger and the New York Times for the American Govt. Germany (and France) are figuratively drunk at an AA meeting. Scholtz is not even doing himself any favours on the home front either. Macron less so
  18. That is literally the sound of the bottom of the barrel being scraped
  19. Not out until August on vinyl and with 6 tracks less. I might buy the vinyl when it's out but the CD is out now The next in the now legendary On-U Sound Compilation series... Pay It All Back Volume 8 New Lee Perry tracks from the Rainford sessions that were held back for this before L$P passed away. New African head Charge, New Creation Rebel (Only 40 odd years!). Never before released Andy Fairley tracks and F*** Me two new Tackhead tracks (must be at least 20 years). New Mark Stewart There's an awful lot of recently deceased people on here aside from L$P. George Oban and Wayne Nunes, two bass players, Oban in particular is all over this album and some Andy Fairly tracks from the vaults (Failey has been deceased a considerable time now)
  20. Wire's second album, Chairs Missing from 1978. A big change from debut effort Pink Flag. This is the post, that was the punk. Everyone says how massively important and influential Pink Flag was but this to my mind is just as important an album. A true post-punk trailblaizer I used to have an original of this which is long gone but I was in the dreaded HMV today and this was a penny less than £18 so home it came.
  21. I've been waiting for this to be released on vinyl for a while. I like Ty Segall but must admit I probably have enough of his usual fayre but this is the soundtrack to the film Whirlybrid, which I keep forgetting to watch. I heard some of it when it was released digitally when the film came out, it had this great track with big drums on it, I knew I wanted this album as soon as I heard that track It's also not got any of the trademark Ty guitar lines, it's not a rock record but it is full of great atmospheric pieces interspersed with the odd bit of dialogue from the film EDIT: The track with the great drums is on side 2 - Story of the Century
  22. I didn't even know that existed, interested
