Rob182 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Good spot. I’m a bit of a dinosaur myself, so I’d still go for the physical DVD. I also still buy CDs 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted February 6 VT Supporter Share Posted February 6 I know we've been over it many times, but my preference remains: CDs > streaming > vinyl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my car I have a usb loaded with music I rarely change, and my phone connected via bluetooth that I do update fairly frequently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted February 6 VT Supporter Share Posted February 6 I used to absolutely love going to the cinema but over the past 5 years or so something changed with me where I'd almost have like panic attacks when watching a film in the cinema. Just feel like I can't breath in there and that i'm crippled with anxiety and feel really sick. Was never an issue in earlier life and nothing has ever happened in a cinema to trigger some type of trauma. Was weird, should probably see a professional to try and figure out the cause but it's easier watching films at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 (edited) Our local cinema (Odeon) has a big upgrade and is now an Odeon Luxe. It only has about half as many seat in each room now but they are big comfy recliners with tables and loads of leg room. It’s crazy money to watch a blockbuster movie close to release day though.

It's usually a cue to start guessing the age and profession of the previous owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 When I bought my motorhome in the CD player was a CD by Jack Johnson, for all my musical faults I have a line and Jack Johnson is over that line. So I put the CD on the dash, over the course of a drive that CD will make its way across the dash, where I lob it up the other end of the dash. I think there would be minor distress if the unplayed Jack Johnson CD went missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted February 6 VT Supporter Share Posted February 6 I remember there being a spate of sensitive men singing and strumming songs in a Hey ladies, I’m a sensitive man type way back in the mid 00’s, listen to this radio friendly, bland ballad. Jack Johnson, Paulo Nutini, James Morrison, James Blunt, lest we forget... All of them were “Oh he did that song you heard when you went to visit your parents and they had Radio 2 on…”. I’m sure that sensitive man strumming bland sensitive song style t’was always ever thus, but I just remember it being a particularly prominent then for a year or two. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right, there was a glut over a few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted February 6 VT Supporter Share Posted February 6 When supermarkets first brought out those little boxes and tubs of sweet snacks they were great. Especially Millionaire Shortbread and Rocky Road. OK they've put the prices up and shrinkflation has reduced the sizes so what was a good value product no longer is regardless of inflation. But more annoyingly is they've all messed with the recipes, gradually reducing expensive ingredients till there is less and less flavour and sweetness. Now they're just bland and tasteless, even from places like M&S and waitrose. Upshot is I won't buy any and tell Mrs Sidcow not to bother if she's out shopping. It's happening with a lot of stuff badged as "new improved recipe" or whatever, or just snuck in on the quiet. It's been most noticeable in these type of products though to such an extent that they're just pointless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
