. I read somewhere, can't remember where now, that before he was in politics that's how he himself pronounced it. It's like a Hyacinth Bucket/'Bouquet' thing. Dunno if true, but I can well believe it.

Carry on treating immigration as a "non-issue" as both of the main parties have done, in deeds if not words, and you end up with Reform. It's been coming for decades. I don't think you can really blame the press. I blame both the main parties.

Anyone here into Thomas Carlyle? Just read an extract of Sartus Resartus, the famous EVERLASTING NO bit, and it's superb writing, considering getting the book.

The mindset of 'get the tories out at all costs' in the last election has lead to this unhappy situation of a fucking useless PM and Reform on the rise. Tribalism and lack of foresight has everything to do with it. Sorry I laughed at you btw, I shouldn't have done that.

I'm talking about having foresight, getting over tribalism, and playing the long game. I think whatever side of the political spectrum you lean to, it probably would have been better for both sides if the tories had stayed in, now Reform are on the rise.

Maybe the left-leaning people disappointed/angry at Starmer who voted Labour should have voted Tory last election? Seems unthinkable cos of tribalism, but it would have been more foresightful.

If thirdform had his way and got the music he wanted, no-one would be left alive to actually listen to it.

Can never post this tune enough

I'm reluctant to get involved in this convo but isn't it to do with women's sex toys nowadays being more discrete, less like the phallic dildoes and rubber schlongs of old, and more like little devices you can slip in your handbag? A replica rubber fanny is a lot more weird and undignified, not...

But unlike gravity's rainbow you can read it in one or two sittings. I'd say it's worth giving it a go.

I liked how he wasn't afraid to talk about the music in mythical terms, raise it up to that level - the whole thing with the gully gaza wars and all that. I mean, he really goes for it. All this is making me want to read it again actually.

Why wouldn't music with 808s not sound good in a club or collective environment? I bet it sounds great!

I wasn't really around here much at the time, but I loved the music. I remember being really disappointed that he left just as I was getting into it.

Whatever you think of the music in Neon Screams the writing was brilliant, and if you managed to put petty jealousies aside (which there was a lot of on here unfortunately), was good enough to enhance the music itself, which is a rare thing.

The leccy here in Seville came back on after 5 or 6 hours, it was just the internet and mobile data was down all day, so I managed to get a cold beer and basically had a paid day off work.

It was really weird actually, a bit like at the beginning of covid for a while there. I was out jogging in the park when it got cut off, and on my way back i noticed all the traffic lights weren't working. Then my phone battery ran out so i didn't have much of a clue what was going on. One of my...
