Apparently Rob Reiner's death was caused by his having 'Trump derangement syndrome'. What a fucking Edwin.

OK, slightly tangential post to our usual gripes about the state of politics: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2025/dec/11/london-venue-appalled-by-antisemitic-imagery-allegedly-screened-at-primal-scream-gig I don't believe that this is anti-Semitic in the slightest, genocide is genocide, and if Isr...

I just came on to post exactly the same. Yes, here is a peace prize for someone whose military is currently conducting airstrikes on Venezuelan fishermen, who just can't help but beg Putin for a reach-around for his little mushroom while he bends over, who is a completely gutless, cowardly fucknut w...

It seemingly doesn't matter the stripe of the political party in question (not that Labour are even vaguely socialist in the current incarnation), everywhere you look is a rush to strip away hard-won rights and liberties by increasingly authoritarian governments. If you protest, you can get jailed a...

Being rather closer to retirement I can see the value in the ISA allowance. What you retire with is what you have, so being able to make the money that you have saved throughout your working life work for you when you have no means of topping up the pot (other than getting back on the fucking treadm...

The ending of GoT thoroughly poisoned that particular chalice for me.

Yeah have to say I am in the same camp. After the absolute dross that was House of the Dragon I can't raise the slightest level of tumescence for this...

Yeah the price scales on the size of the venue/band I assume. £40 has become the standard minimum t-shirt cost at small venues, but when I saw Gojira at the Ally Pally a hoodie was £80 and tshirts £50 iirc. It's not the bands doing though. I have seen some bands that I follow suggesting buying merch...

£40 for a shirt or hat though ffs! Yeah this is a new scam from venues, many of which (i.e. the ones owned by various large corporates, looking at you o2 ¬_¬) now insist on a 20% cut in merch sales, which has driven prices way up. I think it stinks, they wouldn't be making anything if the band were...

Not looked at anything for years Dave. I have iTunes installed but never use it except for a very occasional phone backup, I play everything via Amazon Music these days.

Very smart. That’s a perfect parry against the midterm wipeout letting her come back post Trump virtually unscathed out even bolstered. She’s really not as daft as her conspiracies make her seem. Oh I think she probably is, she just has some very calculating nazis among her 'people' guiding her I s...

LOVED The Books of Koli.

Yeah that was a spectacularly well-told story.

Elton Spunk, once again proving that he is an utter Edwin.

A series I have tried to get into on a few occasions now but have always put the first book down before the halfway point. It is worth sticking with, I have made my way through most of the series and enjoyed it. It remains hard work, but is also a fantastically woven story. I have recently discover...

Awww gutted, he was always an automotive authority and I used to love his insights. RIP Quentin
