  1. The spreadsheet merely holds all my swearing options and the distribution and frequency of my swearing
  2. I want this job, I would excel at it
  3. This is beyond silly, can you imagine Bristol Council putting the staue in a museum in a context that celebrated slavery, really? Can you?
  4. It was what had been specifically asked for for years alongside the campaign to rename the Colston Hall, which is now being renamed too
  5. BLM is the opposite of an organisation
  6. We're specifically talking about a particular statue, which will be on display in a museum a matter of a few hundred meters away from it's original position and no one is objecting My post is quite clearly about that and nothing else so why your post actually exists, I'm unsure
  7. hahaha you just said whether black lives matter on not is a matter of opinion. Like I said, it's your right to be very wrong
  8. Well for one, the Colston Statue, will still be on display, in a museum called M-Shed which is a stones throw away from where the statue was situated, no one is complaining Any post that mentions "The politically correct" as an actual group of real -people isn't really worthy of listening to
  9. You don't have to agree, you can be as wrong as you want to be, it's your absolute right
  10. Then you'd be failing to understand the different contexts of museum and statue in a public place celbrating someones life That argument has been used many times, it was stupid the first time it was tried and hasn't improved with age Nobody would have had a problem with the statue if it had been taken down and put in a museum
  11. Probably one of the last bands I saw live Creep Show, which is John Grant with Wrangler. Wrngler are a bit of "supergroup" themselves asall the members are sort of well known elsewhere, Steven Mallinder from Cabaret Voltaire, Benge from... lots of groups and Phil Winter from Tunng. Electronic Experimental non-pop pop songs I guess. I'd forgotten all about them with the Pandemic until I saw the album going cheap in the Rough Trade sale and if I'm honest at full price I probably wouldn't have bought it
  12. Is the tree a bit of a lightweight?
  13. One of the few great things in my childhood trips to my great Aunt's in Porthcawl was that we'd bring faggots home from the butchers and have them for tea in Birmingham on the Monday. Yeah that usually meant they'd been unrefridgerated for about 8 hours with all the visiting and travelling that went on Absolutely lovely they were, I can remember the taste of them even now, many years later
  14. Early Moon Due album Mazes, first vinyl release since 2011 was this limited edition of 300 for Rough Trade earlier in the year (White Vinyl) This is Ripley Johnson, Moon Duo is sort of his Garage Band which was once described as a side project of Wooden Shjips but I think we can safely say, they sit alongside each other these days, Ripley seems to release more Moon Duo records than Shjips records
  15. A little bit of a cheapo novelty record Lord Sitar - Lord Sitar Otherwise known as Big Jim Sullivan a session musician of some standing in the 60s and 70s (Guitarist). He appears on over 750 charting singles including 54 Number Ones Anyway, he was also one of the few UK session men to learn the Sitar, so he picked a bit of extra work through that. He was also a friend of George Harrison and they used to practice the instrument together. So in 1968 he released this album and it was re-issued for RSD in 2015. Clearly didn't sell that well as it cost me less than a tenner in the Rough Trade sale six and a half years later (Green Vinyl - they all are unless its a 68 original)

    Weather...

    I was once there waiting for a train to Blackburn on a Sunday for over an hour It was so cold I went up to street level to get a warm in the arctic wind

    Weather...

    You've clearly never stood on the platform at Bolton Station
  18. Isthmian League, South East Division, so the 8th tier of the football league pyramid
  19. Not here. In Formby we have an abundance of Barbers, it really is a stupid amount for the size of the area, all bar two of them are bog standard traditional barbers, one that is about to open this week is Turkish and one that opened recently I would describe as Hipster Rocket Polisher. There are at least 5 Traditional and possibly some I'm not aware of
  20. That’s way too well thought out. MPs especially our Dan, aren’t that clever
  21. I'm really not sure what you're saying here. Seriously, it's not making sense Are you suggesting that lots of MPS are having foreign language lessons but are shit at it or Are you saying our Dan has stumbled on a new avenue of income on his own (nah!) All I'm saing is, he's too f***ing thick to have thought of it himself, others must also be doing it
