Davidson was a pretty canny politician tbf. Only things I could really think to fault her on (off-hand) was her attitude toward drug legislation and her penchant for typically Tory style PR stunt photo opportunities. I'm glad she fucked off to the House of Lords and left that halfwit Douglas Ross in charge.

I should just have said Murdoch tbf, the younger Hitchens brother was just the first cunt that sprung to mind that will likely have an article in the next Mail on Sunday attempting explain why Tennessee might be write to ban Maus (with a side-column about the dangers of LGBT rights).

A trifecta of cunts. Is that Peter Hitchins in the backseat?

Let me try to predict where this is going: Asprilla has a swastika tattoo but couldn't possibly be a racist as he has Jewish and black work colleagues.

Let me get this straight then, Cis-women should have safe-spaces to get changed, but simultaneously need real men in their changing rooms to protect them from trans-women. Got it. 👍

Same with Bax Music fwiw. I've honestly no idea why they don't make it more obvious on their website.

There's something seriously off about a bloke who is against the idea of trans women using women's changing rooms but all for mixed changing rooms.

Most swimming bath changing rooms here aren't gendered and honestly it's not a problem.

If you're talking about the Harley Bentons from Thomann, this might help, from the Thomann website:

Don't worry about me like. I'm just some pisshead Scot that has no real connection with Newcastle or the club and is only here for the guitar thread. It's all good, just messing, no real suspicion. The Pud I know would never have been able to type so articulately and would definitely never have been allowed to foster.

This all sounds like an elaborate cover-up to convince me you're not the same Pud that played a secondary but significant role in how I ended up here of all the godforsaken corners of the net. More seriously though, huge respect for foster caring.

Aye. A vegan mate was telling me about Sauerkraut based "cheese" alternatives, which weirdly angered me almost as much as hearing my other (non-vegan) mate say he "just didn't like cheese".

I still do buy physical releases sometimes, as well as a lot of stuff bought from bandcamp I haven't even listened to. Admittedly nowhere near as often as I probably should though. We've got a fantastic local indy record shop here in town that I try to support as much as I can too, but given 90% of the music I listen to isn't exactly "new", buying second hand records from there isn't supporting the artist any more than just streaming from Spotify. Im not trying to argue artists aren't getting absolutely shafted by Spotify and the like, but I remember similar arguements in the 90s about earnings from physical records sales being negligible and most earnings coming from touring.

I've got both Spotify and Amazon music and tend to favour Spotify but still feel like a scab for subscribing to either of them. Tidal music seems to be the platform favoured by the artists that are missing from Spotify and Amazon.

I'd just pay the extra 4mill and then offer Liverpool even more money for Joe Gomez on a similar deal but with the option to recall like it was no big deal. Avoid relegation then sign Pogba on a free and loan him back to them. Put them back in their place.

I know a few folk like that,. unfortunately. Personally I relate more to this:

I'm not so convinced, admittedly though that's partly why I can't see Sunak as favourite. Patel on the other hand has spent most of her political career trying to appeal to exactly that demographic with loads of obscene hard-right rhetoric.

Would love to see the back of him. Bit worried though that Sunak looks like a false favourite to replace him and we're more likely to get Patel in the interim.

Fuck patron, draw up a book and use the profits to maintain the forum. Edit: patreon

Thought as much. I thought I was being clever setting up another alt but now I'm getting the fear I'll accidentally use the wrong account for something and never be able to show my face here again.

I'm quite curious how many folk forgot to set up an alt before joining. Bet @Andrew and @Tom are working through most of yer Reddit history and have a lot of you marked as the proper-wrong-uns we always suspected. Only reason I joined tbh.

This seems somewhat topical:

Good to see this place back up and running. All the best Ant, hope you feel better and manage to clear your head. It's a decent wee community here, one of only a handful of forums I still frequent. Thanks for the work you were putting in to keep it going.

I'm with Andrew here. I'll take stable and functional over pretty and high maintenance anyday. I love a nice rosewood board with a interesting grain bit probably only for the same reasons people find themselves fascinated with artexed ceilings after too many mushrooms.

Glad to hear rosewood might be back on the menu but the only real difference I've ever noticed between rosewood and pau ferro is looks. Just dim the lights man, they all look the same in the dark.
