This is really, really good.
(Also scored me some cool points with teen daughter when she heard me listening to it and spotted the Evangelion samples)

Yeah, there's obviously 'the correct' spoons and forks. Apparently the majority of people are complete agents of chaos and have no preference, just going with whichever spoon/fork comes to hand first. Weirdos.
Possibly deviating from the original question, but it's at least tangentially related...😅

I keep a plastic set of cutlery (freebie with some vendor's branding on it) in my drawer because the wooden cutlery we get given here sets my teeth on edge.
But there's a guy who has a full set of metal cutlery, plus a big bowl for his breakfast and a large plate for his lunch. I kinda respect it.

I didn't go to Lechlade even though it was nearby and everybody I knew went. Had been hammering it for several weekends and decided I need a few weeks off, so missed Lechlade and Castlemorton a fortnight later.
Luckily Castlemorton didn't happen and nobody has ever mentioned it since 🙄🤣

2nd May 1992: Bedlam, Circus Warp, LSDiezel, Spiral Tribe and Techno Travellers at Lechlade Free Festival, Gloucestershire Although we had heard that Fun-de-mental were there no-one has confirmed it so we had to remove them. We never came across them in our limited wanderings, which doesn’t really mean much, so a…

A tale as old as time. Wexford Lockout 1911, employers and RIC immediately resorted to violence and intimidation. Workers respond in kind.
"Even local women joined in the violence, the entertainment being to forcibly relieve a constable of his hat and baton."💪

They wanted to buck the trend of all DJs being full of shit?

All together now...

Where oh where is our James Connolly?
Where oh where is that gallant man?
He's gone to organise the union,
That working men might yet be free.

I'm just saying this repeat offender behaviour is not tracking towards a "statue erected in your honour" outcome.

Meanwhile, our kitten gorged on food, surveyed & dismissed the garden through the (very near) open door, then crossed the easily washable hard floor to throw up on the very much not easily washable rug.

I think he was replaced on the reissues since his conviction. Her son did those parts instead on the more recent releases.

There he is, worn out after a hard day on the tools.

The cat? Definitely not.

(Probably won't keep the paw prints as ther will be tiles laid over the concrete so they won't be visible anyway. If it was the top coat I'd probably leave rhem)

Cats are great lads altogether! Always ready to lend a helping paw. 🙄🤣

I'd be walking around randomly shouting it at people 😂

We heard that Utrecht has some of the sickest most psychotic ravers on the planet Earth, is that right?

Yeah, check it out, and as for those who know, but those of you who don't know, this is your punishment!

When they named a lunar feature after Reid Wisenman's wife Carroll and you could see them all wiping away tears and then having a tiny people group hug in a tiny can a million miles away😭😭😭

When did you first discover music? When I was at school. I wasn't keen on the 'in' groups of the time like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Cockney Rebel, Yes, or Genesis; I was a bit more off the wall. Along with my mate Neil Rogers, I went for the next level of progressive music - bands like Soft Machine, Caravan and Gentle Giant. We used to go to concerts together wearing our Afghan coats. It was around this time in the early 70's I discovered Magma, my true obsession. When was the first time you heard them? It was at the Chalk Farm Roundhouse in London where I'd gone to watch the support act, Isotope. I was 17. I had planned to go home before Magma came on but I hung around and had the most musically life-changing experience of my life. I came out in shock; they blew me away. If I had a time machine and could go back to re-live one day of my life, it would be that one. How would you describe their sound? They are the musical equivalent of Marmite - you either like them or you don't. They were a Seventies phenomenon but a bit too far out there for most people, even if you liked progressive music. I didn't dare put them on the communal record player at sixth-form because they would have been booed off. Maybe it's because they were French. Are you offended if people say they are rubbish? No, I've learnt to keep my mouth shut. While I think they are the best thing I've ever heard - challenging, stimulating, powerful - my wife thinks they've got a pact with the devil. People generally just go: [puffs out his cheeks and shakes his head] sorry!

Didn't you promote a concert for them? In the late Eighties, I thought it would be nice if they came over to London to do a gig, so I set up Interesting Promotions to promote it. Well, I paid the bill is what I really mean. I never realised that there were 14 of them in the band, which raised the overheads slightly. They did three nights at the Bloomsbury theatre; the last night was a sell-out. I'd done my nuts [spent too much money], too, so it was great. Then I went back to [whispers] playing snooker. Would you ever do it again? Interesting Promotions sits there on the loss sheet, so probably not. What would be good, though, is if you could get all of the Canterbury jazz rock bands together and create a festival. They do a similar thing in America called Prog Fest. So you must know Magma quite well now? Yes, but I don't pester the life out of them. I admire them from afar. A couple of them came down to the snooker club with me when they were over and smashed a few balls around. The main guy, a jazz drummer called Christian Vander, is my hero. They had their 30-year anniversary in France a couple of years ago and it was brilliant. They are still making music and it's even better than before, I think.

Even better (from this interview: www.theguardian.com/sport/2004/m...)

The kids are also on Odnoklassniki (ok.ru and VK) and a whole host of other sites that their UK and US based parents might not know about and therefore forget to block in their 'Parental controls' apps.

This is the way 👍

Had this on earworm as I read about the Artemis mission, then realised it was closer in years to the Apollo missions than the Artemis mission is from its release date and I am not ok with this knowledge.

Not much of a Spotify user, but I d/l BC purchases and store them on my NAS (along with ripped CDs etc) which is accessible from any machine or device on the home network and via an app when out of the house. Also use the BC app on my phone when out and about.

Also still chuckling about one of the young lads shouting across the shop to his mate, "No way, bruh! Fleetwood Mac Rumours is better than anything the Beatles have ever done!"
I'm sure I heard at least 3 auld lad's pacemakers buzzing as they tried & failed to regulate their heart rhythms.

You're still one of the cool kids!
CDs are big with he the teens round here. Was in the record shop with daughter on Saturday, her picking CDs while I browsed vinyl. Had a chat with a bunch of other teens that took in Can, YMO, reggae, Lydia Lunch & Geese.

Our kitten, the absolute dickhead, has started waking us up at 5am so I'm hoping it catches him out and we can start getting a lie-in until 6am.
