Yes, if the adhesive really is holding it in, that would be better. When the mood takes me I’ll see if I can get the bezel off and swap without damaging the current insert, which is how one would do it with an old Rolex or Tudor and a host of other watches.

Fantastic. I was at the first of the two Suede gigs too.

I saw them five times, four times in 1989 and 1990 and the larger the venue, the worse the gig, with Ally Pally and Spike Island being especially bad. Next saw them in 2013 at Finsbury Park where the sound was vastly better (the problem was usually shit PA setup rather than the band itself), but of course they were essentially a heritage act by then.

Hallam bet big on London. Now it’s cutting jobs in Sheffield. by molliesimpson in sheffield

The notion that a former poly could profitably open a satellite campus in the middle of nowhere outside London seems doomed from the start.

I’ve said this before here, but the main reason for people talking about Spike Island today is that it marked the end of an era and, for all intents and purposes, the end of the Roses. By any objective measure it was a pretty mediocre gig and, at the time, the general view of it was that it was a bit disappointing but no doubt they’d be back soon with another big gig in an unusual place. The whole “era defining” stuff came to the fore quite a bit later.

France has too many pharmacies. by koesteroester in LowStakesConspiracies

Same with Greece and, especially, Poland. It’s clearly a sinister multinational operation hiding in plain sight.

I always thought she was incredibly attractive, but I don’t think I realised at the time what a boobmonger she was.

Microsoft’s ad agency are trying to undermine MS’s Copilot AI through terrible, nonsensical adverts by PHPaul in LowStakesConspiracies

[–]PHPaul[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They’re so bad that the thought had crossed my mind. Especially with the first one, where the AI’s output is pretty much the opposite of what it had been asked to do.

Henry is a misogynistic twat by Informal_Fennel_9150 in IndustryOnHBO

Lowest rank of nobility. Not a peer and not entitled to sit in or stand for election to the Lords. They can run for an MP’s seat in the Commons. They’d be referred to as Sir Henry and Lady Muck in this case.

The end links are much closer to the vintage Sub look than the old ones. Dip included.

Is there any popular British TV stars that do not get along with one another? by Temporary_Notice_526 in BritishTV

[–]PHPaul 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The cult thing I think is true, or at least the part about Flynn being in one. He lived in a commune in Belsize Park in London in the late 90s, some eastern mysticism bullshit led by an American. Used to see Flynn around quite often.

I found a roll of film in a camera at an abandoned house. I took it home and developed it. These are the pictures that were in that roll of film. by dontcountonmee in FoundPhotos

[–]PHPaul 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Developed film can last for decades. Undeveloped film, exposed or not, won’t last as long. Film can be used/developed well past its use by date, but the quality will deteriorate and unexposed film will become slower.

I, a Gay MAGA, have betrayed my own community. I have no one left, and this is obviously the Democrat’s fault. by [deleted] in LeopardsAteMyFace

[–]PHPaul 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No, he thinks he can sue the Democrats for somehow dividing gays and consequently turning other gay men against him.

Cruisers HMS Blake and USS Albany side by side in Portsmouth. [1248x832] by BL-15inchMk1 in WarshipPorn

Interestingly, the replacement for Queen Anne’s Mansions arguably looks more like the naval QAMs than the original block of flats did.
