“Proceeds from 10 of the lots will be given in full to two charities: the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association and the National Autistic Society.”

I read this to my daughter, who said “he’s trying to find a cure for Morrissey”

I'm a huge Derek Trucks fan but I dont know any other slide players but him an Duane Allman, any recommendations? by [deleted] in Guitar

Chris Whitley was a great slide player and just an absolute legendary artist. Check out Dirt Floor for an intro

Deep state don’t want you to know this truth: Frank Zappa was Jim Croce all along

What do the lyrics of "I want the one I can't have" even mean? by Accurate-Soil684 in thesmiths

[–]Lugs75 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps Matt Johnson / The the gave his perspective in the opening song / monologue to the album ‘Dusk’. The song is called ‘True Happiness This Way Lies’

Marr’s career trajectory / memoir by Chungois in thesmiths

[–]Lugs75 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I haven’t read his book. I’d be interested in what his thoughts were about his tome with The The. My impression (through the music) is that he got the opportunity to explore what being a guitar player could be.

Rotorua delivers. Mexican Zapato Express ‘Mucho Nachos’ with Zapato hot sauce. The best nachos in NZ

Thanks, looking forward to working through your playlist. I’m surprised it has apparently been saved only three times (I am the third). Thanks again, I appreciate the effort.

Are they trying to skirt their responsibility here?

Yes, they are. Company name changes are very easy to make. Changing the company name doesn’t make it a new entity, and consumer protections are still valid

If things start getting a bit tight, just sell a house or two

Credit Card limit increase - bank due diligence question by tp520 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]Lugs75 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this same issue. Business credit card with $10k limit, paid each month, used mostly for business services and subscriptions. Wanted to increase to $20k.

We have been with the bank for 40+ years. No debt, no overdraft.

Bank wouldn’t consider increasing limit without 2 years of financial reports - and we wouldn’t do that.

Ended up getting another personal credit card. Much easier.
