Sounds like my oldest brother, while I was pogoing around the bedroom he had to make do with Genesis and 10cc... :)

In reality the 50s/60s/70s/80s/90s were all game changers musically, with plenty of tribalism (whether the music and the "tribes" were good or bad is subjective and basically just depends on how old your are).


Struggling to think what has really changed musically since the 90s. Most of the pop, rock, dance, hip hop, etc music around now would have been right at home 20 years ago.

Attending a 50th birthday bash Saturday for a mate who was not only born on the day of the final but actually during it. His mother reckoned she never saw the same doctor or nurse for more than five minutes as his appearance approached as they were running relays from the T.V. lounge...

    • Yiddish is written in Hebrew script, traditionally, so any attempt to use 'Roman' script will be transliteration, as noted. Hebrew script does not have vowels as such, so any vowels used will try to copy the Yiddish sound of the word. Bagel and Beigel are both correct transliterations of the Yiddish word. 
    • Have they still not fixed it? that's pretty shabby. I took this picture on New Year's Day and it's been like this at least since before Xmas.     
    • To be fair, if I saw you eating any of the parcels I'd have walked out. I noticed last night that the illuminated sign now describes this place as the POT OFFICE. Presumably THC vapes are more profitable than being a drop-off point for bloody Evri
    • Housebuilding isn't that profitable and housebuilders don't have social responsibilities. The affordable housing component is just a tax on new builds. It's a total failure by government - a fantasy belief that the private sector is going to solve the state's social housing crisis for free. It's like expecting Tesco to solve child humgrr by giving away a percentage of its products. It's not gonna work - it just slows down and disincentivises private sector construction of new housing. The only solution to the housing crisis is a massive increase in the supply of housing, not a couple of "affordable" flats in a new development. The state needs to solve the problem of NIMBYs (one of whom is prominent on this thread), get out of the way of private sector developers building private rentals and homes for sale, and borrow to build a huge amount of social housing.
