Did you have a good iPod shuffle day today? I did. A list of mainly A-list tunes:


Why Do I Keep Counting - Killers

Superfly Bindi - Black Star Liner

Kick Inside - Kate Bush

The Things That Dreams Are Made of - The Human League

The Great Beyond - REM

Just Can't Get Enough - Depeche Mode

Rock, Rock, Rock - Sparks

Atomic - Blondie

The Meaning of Love = Depeche Mode

Dreaming of Me - Depeche Mode

6060-842 - The B-52's

Kids With Guns - Gorillaz

Here Worship - The B-52's

Taking Islands in Africa - Japan

Grace Kelly - Mika

Positivity - Suede


It's not usually like that. But today it was, so I am thankful. Nero

Sean - without wishing to get all snobby about music - that NME compilation that you have sounds like hell on earth. The only up side to it is that The Mission are covering a classic track and not subjecting you to one of their own dreadful offerings.

I apologise in advance if you are a fan of the Mission

Ha Ben - bless you.. I didn't mean to imply that I LOVED that blasted thing - it was just something I got back in the day and thought people would find funny


Musically there is very little on there of worth - although Marc Almond's take on Like a Prayer is pretty darn good

Sean - thought that was the case but any chance to have a dig at old wayne hussey......

It's not connected at all but I once saw the Mighty Lemon Drops play an early show in Croydon somewhere and had the misfortune of catching the support act - Fields of the Nephilim. It was all flour and top hats!

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
