Yeah, my sister came down with it almost immediately after being called in, has been out of action for nearly 2 weeks now. She's on the mend, fingers crossed, though lost her voice (insert mandatory sibling joke). I'm trying not to think about relapses...but yeah, the lack of proper PPE seems...

Yeah, you're right. Just feeling a bit nihilistic. 99%'s good odds :cool: As long as I don't burn the kitchen down.

I've been doing this for 2-3 weeks, lol. Also been using a scarf, rioter-style - probably the only time I'll ever be allowed into a supermarket looking like that. It seems half and half where I live. My heart did swell a bit with pride for humanity when I saw some bloke pull his mask down to...

Here y'go

Is anyone else scared of making the wrong move? I feel I should swing by the supermarket tomorrow in case they all get shut down for a couple of months. But that could be the trip where I pick up the virus. Worried enough that I can't really enjoy music right now, so much for spending...

Hey Leo - nah, no probs mate. I'm really sorry for my outburst. I was coasting along fine until the weekend and suddenly just flipped out - spending hours on Friday night and all day and night Saturday clicking on rolling news updates wasn't a smart move. Ended up wigging out on Twitter too...

Well, you have your 'happy thread', so no need to be a passive-aggressive prick. But have deleted the post that triggered you, so chill out. Also odd you can't see the positives here, ie- the talk about aid groups - just signed up to my local one and met a bunch of cool people, which is a...

My dancehall hop-off points were Merciless, Elephant Man and Red Rat - each systematically pushing me further away. Autotune didn't exactly lure me back. I was delighted to hear Ninjaman fry these clowns at Reggae Ramjam 2000. Going to 'avant-garde' music events also killed my interest in...

Beagle Belsen. It's been demolished now, turned into a new flats development. A stone's throw from Inglis Barracks and The Joiners Arms, which were bombed by the IRA a couple of times. I used to go to Oriental City, got food poisoning from some noodles there (possibly. Might have been a...

Still takes some going to top this utter gem http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/north_west/3664381.stm

I'm just saying pianos suck, not standing in front of a tank.

Nah, wearing this

From personal experience, people who had piano lessons as kids were the types who used to grass everyone up for funning around. Strong crossover with performative art types who'd go "Look mother, I'm a tree in the breeze" while waving their arms around and pelvic thrusting.

Mere trifles compared to ever having to hear 'The Lighter' again. ONLY Chas & Dave AND Strings Of Life, I should have said earlier.

Me. Boring, wanking instrument. Come the glorious day, anyone owning a piano will be garrotted by the wires as we smash their monstrosities to matchwood. Is there anything worse than being in a pub with a piano, then some cunt jumps on it to perform a rendition of Let It Be? Well, yeah, there...

Blah blah blah

Can imagine most of you lot despising them, and I recall most online experts damning them as contrived hipster fakes at the time, but I thought Street Gang and Fuck You Pay Me were great. They were at their best when blatantly ripping off Suicide, IMO. They got better as interest in them waned...

Never got Funkadelic either - pretty sure Maggotbrain's stellar reputation is down to the memorable artwork rather than the music. Also, Shockwaves is possibly the worst cod reggae song I've ever had the misfortune to hear. I don't know anything by Sly & The Family Stone though. Would vote for...

I struggle to make out what Strummer's slurring most of the time (I could never figure out Clash City Rockers without the lyric sheet) so I genuinely spent years thinking 'WMIHP' was about the exact opposite - a white bloke going down to a reggae night for a drink and a bop but instead having a...
