This would be SO much better if they were angry middle-aged midrift heavy men in flannel shirts, shouting about their lousy sex life.

It is really cool to go see a band play live and they are just like you and me, because that is what I want from live music: relatability and a constant reminder ...

I've been getting a lot of "Service Unavailable" notices lately.

I don't know, amps be amps. For me they are both kind of personal and trivial at the same time. Different people can make different stuff work for them, so I don't really care about demos.
Playing live I mostly care about headroom, and even then I'm not super demanding about it. Enough to not ...

US ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, who was appointed by Kamala Harris, reportedly went on Tucker Carlson’s podcast to talk about how Israel would be justified in taking all of Palestine on biblical grounds.

Wait, hold on.

Sorry: I made a mistake. It turns out that the current ambassador ...

I guess you guys are right. I tend to romanticise skilled trades. There’s a lot of bending and lifting. Honestly, if the pay was fine I fantasise about being a gardener at one of the public squares that punctuate London… until winter, then it looks awful.


Same here! Still, I like to see what I ...

I’m not sure what the market is in other countries but practical training looks to be the most stable thing going forwards, especially for older people. Plumbing, electrical, joinery etc. Robots aren’t coming for those. In London trades people that are good and reliable are gold and people will ...
