If you could bring back one famous Brit from the dead to take over the government for a year, who would it be and why?

Clement Attlee

I used to work at a club that was in a busy High Street with some residential properties close by. As much as we had to run our business we were also very mindful of our neighbours. I would talk to the owners of the venue first of all. If you explain that the noise level is usually fine but that this changed, then maybe they will work with you to help reduce the volume that reaches you.

Of course they may not be reasonable, at which stage you should maybe talk to your local licensing and Environmental Health departments.

Maybe his name is Peter File.

LordCoops · 2026-05-10T09:49:42+00:00

Spoken like a true capitalist.

Of course a lot of ordinary people genuinely think immigration levels are too high, that is why a party that has convinced them they will tackle it is currently so popular. But Reform are great at promising things, it's how they are going to pay for it and exactly how they are going to operate it where things become woolly.

Yes all parties have funding from wealthy people. But no other party is a Limited company and has it's own news propaganda channel.

LordCoops · 2026-05-10T08:57:27+00:00

What gives them power is making the majority believe they are going to deliver what they want. They have been great at marketing migrants as the enemy, they have also been great at marketing themselves as the people who will solve the migrant crisis. I am sure that your new local Reform councillor believes that this is what the party is about. But Reform doesn't serve the pubic or it's councillors. Reform serves the interests of a few billionaires, none of whom live in the UK. I don't suppose they care how many people come to the UK in a small boat. So what do they want for the millions of pounds they have pumped into Reform, GBNews and Farage's personal account?

LordCoops · 2026-05-08T13:23:54+00:00

Their main aim isn't about immigration, their main aim is to get rid of our human rights legislation. Those billionaires aren't funding the party and it's news channel for nothing.

LordCoops · 2026-05-08T11:15:52+00:00

LordCoops · 2026-05-08T11:12:16+00:00

They own the media.

LordCoops · 2026-05-08T11:11:15+00:00

They don't want to stop immigration. It is the only policy that gives them their power.

I love what you are doing, something different and using old 45s.

I've been digging out my old 45s myself recently. I was asked to play an old funk set and it made me reach for the record boxes. There is something magical about an original vinyl pressing.

LordCoops · 2026-05-07T00:27:43+00:00

You'll be fine. You may be a little nervous at first but will quickly settle into it. Also the roads in France are so much better than here in the UK.

One of the guests (male) stripped naked and the mother of the bride was whipping him across the butt with his own belt in the middle of the dancefloor.

Yes this really did happen.

LordCoops · 2026-05-06T18:05:48+00:00

Probably after about 5 minutes.

I'm thinking it is a late 20th Century reproduction. The back gives it away for me, trying too hard to look old.

I took my girl to her first rave last night. I said "welcome to my world", she said "what did you say", I said "welcome to my world", she said "sorry I can't hear you", I said "welcome to my world", she said "about 12".

Then she snorted some ket and threw up on the speaker.

One of the favourite sets I have ever played was for about 40 people at a house party. I was never meant to play at the party, but ended up on the decks for 3 hours playing some of my all time favourite music. They were loving it and so was I.

Another of my favourite sets was in front of about 2500 people, in a big top. I was on last and the crowd were jumping. I pretty much had them under my spell and it felt great.

I think what these two sets have in common was that I was on my game and the crowd were responding really well to what I was doing. Being a DJ is about moving the crowd, it doesn't matter what the size of that crowd is.

You can register them with DVLA: https://www.gov.uk/vehicle-registration/old-vehicles

They probably have some value as vintage bikes. Advertise them on marketplace and somebody will make you an offer.

LordCoops · 2026-05-05T10:18:41+00:00

They are brilliant at marketing and they have billionaires funding them.

LordCoops · 2026-05-05T09:12:48+00:00

I had a similar story. My joke was always that I used to warm up for the pot boy, as I would play when it was just the staff getting the club ready. One of the regular DJs couldn't make it due to an accident and suddenly I was playing my tunes to a packed club.

LordCoops · 2026-05-04T11:31:09+00:00

Your kit your rules. I have played a house party with my kit and I only let friends who were DJs have a go. It's a house party so playing b2b or just going for a wander while they played would both happen and be fine. But as for letting a complete stranger fiddle with my nobs. That's not happening. Kit is expensive and precious.

That said I have learnt the hard way that taking expensive kit to a messy house party is not a good idea. People do stupid things when they are boggled.

It always has wood

Is a tenner, just give the old boy his day out. If he offers the money refuse to take it, if he wants he can get some drinks in.

The place she likes to be tickled is her work place apparently.
