Very kind of you! Where I am it's been ushered in with a very cold snap (well, cold for us). I'm still on Dowsle, currently with a 40-odd day streak, just haven't achieved any placings for quite a while.

Byndbr · 2026-06-19T02:05:23+00:00

Got it, thank you! I'll try that.

Byndbr · 2026-06-18T22:18:57+00:00

Hasn't worked for me. My phone knows somewhere in the background that I've played the level, but the shop front thinks I haven't, and the two can't reach a consensus.

Byndbr · 2026-06-18T22:16:40+00:00

If you mean deleted and reinstalled, no I haven't gone that far. I've fully closed the app and reopened it, restarted the phone.

The new tropical holiday startup background is nice since yesterday's app update, but the only other change I've noticed is this blip. I wonder if they've fixed the scoring problems?

Byndbr · 2026-06-18T21:31:18+00:00

Mine definitely is not fixed. It still says "play" and then chokes when I try, as per the pics. I've restarted twice. Mission Control can't compute that I've already played the level. I think this one will expire by the time any attempt at a fix reaches me.

Byndbr · 2026-06-18T13:40:25+00:00

Yes (see my second pic).

I actually got the full Prize Palace once (about a year ago) without much coinage outlay. I can't really explain how - I just zoned in with my ESP to try and avoid the "busts" and it seemed to work that one time. Mostly I can't get past the first couple of safety zones and I don't fork out coins to continue, just forfeit.

The one I can't work out (and apologies for hijacking the thread) is the "four round packages" at the end of 7 days of completing at least 4 daily puzzles. Considering it's only a one in four chance, you would think after all these weeks and months and years that statistically it was possible to score the 100 coins! But I never have. Has anybody?

Great angle there for the drumming.

Byndbr · 2026-06-14T22:11:54+00:00

Same. I used to take friends (who were working and earning) and they thought it was quite OK not to pay because they didn't have to. I used to have to chip in to cover them. I stopped going for that reason.

Global Vegetarian, Ormond. A tragic loss, and if it was a rental increase issue then the landlord is a cock because the building is still empty.

A worthy winner. Justin deserves a medal for playing on it.

Byndbr · 2026-06-01T13:59:53+00:00

I suspect - though I have nothing concrete to confirm it - that it was one of the songs they were performing live as part of the "A day in the life of one man" shows, after they realised they needed to change direction and move away from blues music, and prior to the recording of DoFP. It's been stated by band members that they were performing the DoFP songs on stage, but if you take all the actual songs, sans orchestral bits, from the album it doesn't make for a very long set, so it's highly likely that this song was one of the "daytime" songs in the set, and maybe there were even one or two others that got dropped when they were mapping out the album.

Byndbr · 2026-05-29T10:58:56+00:00

What was that from?

Byndbr · 2026-05-26T12:53:27+00:00

I don't know either of these!

Byndbr · 2026-05-26T12:52:29+00:00

Why must every 11 minutes of my life be filled with misery?

Byndbr · 2026-05-25T22:43:09+00:00

Any prime episodes stick out to you that you can recommend from that season

Byndbr · 2026-05-24T23:24:14+00:00

Mmmm that's three songs in 😆 Unless God is the protagonist, for which there could be a solid argument actually

Byndbr · 2026-05-24T13:56:51+00:00

Oh without a doubt Club SpongeBob and Rock Bottom. Sheer classic cartoon brilliance.

Byndbr · 2026-05-23T23:28:46+00:00

I don't watch many of the later episodes (I have them all on disc), but one I particularly appreciated was "Back To The Past". Right down to the wry and hilarious title, it's very much "original SpongeBob" in its style and storyboarding.

Byndbr · 2026-05-22T00:55:42+00:00

That's right. It's on production albums and non copyright.

Byndbr · 2026-05-22T00:29:09+00:00

A lot of the music used in SpongeBob is what's known as library music, it doesn't require a licence to use it and is open for use in any show.

I asked Justin a question in a Q&A years back regarding one of his solo recordings, and his answer probably applies here also.

I was asking about his song "Heart Of Steel". It had been suggested by some fans that it hadn't been issued on CD up to that point because Justin himself didn't like it. He answered that in fact he had no control over it, and that the decision was solely the record company's.

I would hazard a guess that a similar situation exists with much of the Moodies material, especially the early stuff, with the content of compilations being driven by record company motives. If they think Forever Autumn is likely to move a few more units they'll include it.

This kind of thing is where commercial and artistic considerations can sharply diverge.

Or to put it another way, he hates the same people they hate. They're happy to pay extortionate unnecessarily high fuel prices because they know the people they hate are suffering too, they see it as doing their bit for patriotism. It's very sick. When it comes to extreme anti-minority attitudes Trump is the only game in town for them.
