  1. polls heading the other way, but i can see alot of people getting to the polling station and going 'ah sod it, one and only stab at this in my lifetime..." X
  2. google play just uploads yours directly up 'there', though doesn't upgrade them and is completely free (though the initial upload took about a week)
  3. If you're feeling wealthy then you can always go sonos.
  4. i don't really use spotify, i use it for my library of burnt music and internet radio. If spotify is important than i guess a different solution, though to be fair it's not the jongo that can't do it, it's the pure software. you can probably roll your own spotify server with a bit of python http://www.mopidy.com/ The pure version of twonky won't stream flac, but the original twonky server (which im using) does. In fact I've a raspberry on the way, may have to do this!! Pure do that on purpose because they have a spotify rival, Pure COnnect (which i dont use either).
  5. "Aaanyway he meets quite a few of these types, mostly ex forces devoid of a place in the world, many were fantasists, thrill seekers, weirdops[sic] who'd watched too many films." or they had nervous breakdowns, truth stranger than etc https://medium.com/war-is-boring/the-tragedy-of-islamic-states-japanese-hostage-1d18bf794ac8
  6. they can all be controlled independently from pc and iphone/android apps, and in pairs can be linked to go stereo
  7. whack on a nas or external drive, install twonky server to your pc, then get a few of these http://www.pure.com/product/jongo-s340b-vl-61996/ or these http://www.pure.com/product/jongo-t4-vl-62233/ Or T2 or T6 depending on room size, i think richer sounds are doing them ata discount last time i was in store.
  8. I don't think so
  9. I always felt a bit sorry for Gordon Brown PM. He may have cooked the books and left us in debt as Chancellor, but he was definitely earnest about his politics and beliefs unlike certain unmentionables, but trying to do the right thing usually backfired. He was good at old politics he simply wasn't very good at new politics. Anyway, for all his faults i quite enjoyed this, he comes across well in his retirement. http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2014/aug/31/gordon-brown-battle-for-britain "Oh yes he's charismatic all right, aye, very humble, that Alex Salmond. Asked who were the three greatest Scotsman in history, he said the other two are Robert the Bruce and William Wallace." "The person [Nelson Mandela] most liked [at his 90th birthday party] was Amy Winehouse. She said to him: 'You and my husband have a lot in common.' He said: 'Oh, what is that?' She said: 'You've both spent a long time in prison.'"
  10. reading about a joint iraqi army, kurdish operation with strategy planned by Iranian advisors and american special forces coordinating and directing airpower, I couldn't help wondering if some good was coming out of IS's awfulness?!
  11. what...the...... http://terriblerealestateagentphotos.com/post/95654243206
  12. though Ware almost works in a sort of who's on first base fashion.
  13. No; she went in a Honda Accord.
  14. oh cool, you coming over for that? brilliant. Here's another laugh a minute cracker for you, re chechnya http://www.amazon.co.uk/One-Soldiers-Chechnya-Arkady-Babchenko/dp/1846270405
  15. My wife went to Hertfordshire this weekend.
  16. did you read my war gone by i miss it so? http://www.amazon.com/My-War-Gone-By-Miss/dp/0140298541 You can have borrowage next time you're over.... About an ex army chap who's so bored by normal life he takes up heroine. He originally goes to Bosnia to take photos despite knowing nothing about it, and spends 2 years there. Every time he came home he'd get depressed and back on to heroine! Aaanyway he meets quite a few of these types, mostly ex forces devoid of a place in the world, many were fantasists, thrill seekers, weirdops who'd watched too many films. Most of them ended up dead. His time in Grozny is frankly terrifying. Sarajevvo was abad day when you get a few shells an hour, grozny there were several every minute. The only people he met were dead or insane. These days he's at The Times and got into all sorts of bother in Syria, so clearly still a war junkie!!! http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-27469438
  17. ha yeah, i read that and realised he didn't learn much about the spanish civil war!!!! But you always get weirdos turning up to these things. Adventurers died in droves in Bosnia. German business men used to pay lots of money to dress up in camo in the croat lines, hang about trenches, take potshots with a dragonov and be home to tuck the kids in on sunday night...very odd....
  18. so just a general gripe about inequality. Does this only apply to charities or every industry?
  19. Do you think bonuses are intrinsically wrong TE44? Does performance related pay sound any better or still wrong?
  20. yeah, not a good week
  21. http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2014/aug/29/rotherham-abuse-political-correctness-ludicrous He may or may not have rebutted quids accusations, but the moment he said prescription instead of proscription I gave up ;-)

    Football Focus

    google index cards do that sort of thing if youve an android phone
  23. oh bums, i do come across as a right guardian reading tosspot.
  24. I used to do crosswords. Telegraph is nice and vanilla, indy is usually doable. Could never get into the guardian one. Private eye most satisfying.
  25. It's onions take on clickbait sites and bad quizzes It's funny but hasn't got legs surely. Plus it's parodying something that's almost beyond parody.
