Ah, now were back to Flip Flops


On a very healthy and well toned leg and foot, good


Otherwise, they remind me of a raw pork belly chop resting on a polystyrene meat tray

Didn't mention 'good looking' but 'good shape' can be pleasing


Be honest, what's attractive about a hulking great bacon joint of a foot, squashing a Flip Flop to near invisibility under its mass


That said; i'm getting hungrier after writing the word 'bacon'


Weird eh !

Fashion victims are the worst, you know the type, the bods who feel they must wear what they are told to by the media, their peers, and whatever advertising campaigns want to foist on them. Sad individuals who have no individuality and have to be told what to wear and how to wear it.

Not heard of most of them, liked that "We are young" song by Fun, Love Mariner's Revenge by The Decemberists, and saw them live which I quite enjoyed even though I couldn't name any of their other songs (that gig was my first experience opf the smoking ban, which put a dampener on it, but we'd smoked a big joint outside before hand so could have been worse).


I don't know much about Arcade Fire, but I did catch a bit of their set at Reading some years ago and they looked fun. Don't know any of the others.

wow, angry men, I don't really see how arcade fire suck the life out of music though i can see how some critics suck the life out of life.


To be fair most of them predate the current interpretation of 'hipster' some might be better described as emo i guess.


Of course when critics go wild it's prefectly sensible to reappraise. I like Sleigh Bells, but they were never as good as some critics suggested. I always thought they were more like the Bangles than Babes in Toyland, but then I always thought the Bangles were hideously underrated and had a great ear for pop.


The Decemberists are quite simply wonderful though what they have to do with hipsters other than some of them may or may not like them, is anyones guess. But my favourite live act.


Beirut, good first album, but ultimately just a poor man's Neutral Milk Hotel...who by the way were brilliant last night!!


I did go to a bright eyes gig and had to leave after half an hour as i wanted to gun down the audience with a machine gun.


Waaves are awful though.

They didn't do Mariner's Revenge A.K.A. "The Whale Song" when I saw them. For which I will never forgive them (being as that's the only reason I went).

    • But what are you basing that judgement on? Vibes? where exactly and under what council is money being spent wisely? what about parties which promise to cut waste, come to power and find out there is no waste?   
    • I've just had James from Trelco round doing taps and hot water.  Prompt, efficient and pleasant people and the cost came in under what we thought it would be! Will definitely use them again.
    • Yes - adult care is a large part of the CT bill.  That does not mean the council spend our money well or wisely.        
    • “What do councils spend all the money on?” Is, in my view, one of the most profoundly emblematic of our times  we go about our lives, backed up by councils and governments and complain they aren’t needed  reform win elections based on “we’re gonna go in and slash all the waste!” Only to later admit there effectively isn’t any oh and by the way we need to increase council tax   Now all we have to offer is racism and ineptitude sorry about that  https://www.gbnews.com/money/reform-elon-musk-doge-failed-savings So where does the money go? On a multitude of services - but the increasingly aged population and the care provision required is a large part of it  the government could give councils more money to avoid council tax rises  - but the we would have to pay more in jewels taxation  and as a country we tend to pay less than other similar countries  so we end up with an expensive mend and make do approach  I don’t see any political parties offering a solution   Starmer is obviously lacking in many areas but he is the result of a hostile media and a reluctant population willing to hear truths  (wait until we hear how much we will need to increase defence spending by in the coming years) If a party stopped pretending all the money was wasted but published a list of costs, projections and proposals that wasn’t gutted to suit the landscape of needing to not bemonstered by the press or deemed too expensive by voters I would be very interested      can’t see that happening tho  (also worth reminding ourselves of all the brexiters who said things like “I don’t care how much it costs   I don’t care if I lose my job  it’s about taking back control!” And yet now we find them complaining about increasing costs. As they always will complain about everything  because it’s always someone else’s fault)
