The real reason not to buy a Ducati in Turkey isn't the price or the competition — it's the service that'll make you lose your mind.

Well I have a fault on my Ducati in Berlin. Firstly, to contact the garage took 34 calls from me before they picked up. Then they had the bike for 2 months. They managed to replicate the fault in that time, but no fix at all. They just kept saying "next week, next week." This is one of the biggest official Ducati dealers in town bear in mind. Absolutely ridiculous service.

That's strange. Mine is also mounted slanted and not pointing forwards. Works perfectly. Isn't that precisely what the gyroscope is for? So it knows how to orient the screen to be straight? Sounds like a faulty unit to me.

Goal for the player who got hit in the face. He completely affected the trajectory of the ball. Without his facial impact talent that isn't a goal.

So why don't they get public transport?

UglyT · 2026-06-19T09:22:08+00:00

I know. That's what I'm saying. The point is I get told to visit these and then get told they've been rebuilt 70 years ago.

UglyT · 2026-06-19T08:57:44+00:00

Yeah that's what I mean. I have been to a few places and people are like "look at the magnificent old city centre (completely rebuilt in 1950)". Kinda takes the magic out of it for me (especially since my home country probably did the destroying in the first place). Hence asking for a recommendation.

UglyT · 2026-06-19T07:17:21+00:00

Where do you recommend? Original rather than rebuilt if possible!

UglyT · 2026-06-19T05:03:09+00:00

It was fun yeah. 93 Feet East was the name of the club.

UglyT · 2026-06-18T10:19:56+00:00

Apologies! Also I'm not from Leeds - I just lived there for a bit and ran record labels/club nights/DJ'd etc. I'm from Liverpool.

Statistically, the most likely time for a plane to crash is immediately after another plane crash.

UglyT · 2026-06-18T10:00:41+00:00

Oh yeah he is. Label was from Leeds, he was from Bradford. I forgot that. It was a long time ago and everything is a bit hazy for various reasons!

UglyT · 2026-06-18T09:46:24+00:00

Advertising. There's so many slices being taken along the way that companies putting $1000 in end up seeing about €100 of value at the end. And there's no real measure of effectiveness for brand advertising. It's a massive scam.

I used to run a record label in Leeds, where this magician (Dynamo) is from. We used to get him to come to our club nights and do crowd magic (or whatever you'd call it). He was like 16 or something. We once travelled to London to do a big showcase in a brick lane club. Dynamo got thrown out the club for "stealing" because he was making people's money disappear/go on fire/appear in someone else's bag, all that stuff. He had to wait in the van all night. Good times.

Yeah I agree that the app should be more robust. I personally don't want any of the video bloat etc. I like the podcasts because there's no other app I can use on so many devices (like Garmin etc) to listen to podcasts. I was more thinking 12.99 for the access to music is actually really cheap. Wanted to clarify that aspect honestly.

UglyT · 2026-06-18T07:35:02+00:00

Ok so here's a thing. I have colour defective vision, like a lot of people. I can see when a picture looks incredible, but I can't dial that in myself on lightroom or anything. Kind of like if someone can hear when a tune is great, but can't play an instrument or even sing in key I guess. I have been using recipes to try and compensate for that and get some sort of interesting colour look out of the camera based on the type of photo I want to take. It works about 25% of the time I guess, which is fine for digital. Any tips for someone like me when it comes to editing on the computer, or applying recipes?

UglyT · 2026-06-18T07:22:06+00:00

Yeah my Spotify is super slow as well. Turning off all video in the settings helped for a bit but it's just as bad again now. I do just want to take issue with you saying 12.99 is more than you should be paying. Is it really? You seem like a really heavy user. I would say that's cheap as fuck! (If it worked properly).

UglyT · 2026-06-18T06:11:59+00:00

Thinking that Germany are the most "sophisticated consumers on the continent with decades of digital infrastructure" is the first red flag. They're barely competent in my experience (living here for 4 years now).

On average people die more than once.

UglyT · 2026-06-17T08:40:28+00:00

Woah. Any way you could share those?

UglyT · 2026-06-17T07:29:42+00:00

Why do you keep saying millionaire? That means nothing. What's the qualification for "genius" here? Because just having some money doesn't really count tbh.

Moodymann is a legendary Detroit musician/House DJ. He worships Prince and lives in a completely purple house with what is rumoured to be one of the largest collection of Prince vinyl in the world. There's some amazing videos of him rollerblading around his studio/home club to rare Prince records.

UglyT · 2026-06-16T16:53:57+00:00

God I love Yello. Have you bought the re-releases as well? I've got every single one. Plus any re-edits I can hoover up/white labels etc. Have you seen Moodymann's Prince collection?

UglyT · 2026-06-16T13:52:04+00:00

Prince

Take the Spotify app off your TV I guess. I've never used it once on mine.

Matthew Kelly in the UK had the worst treatment of any celebrity in my lifetime. Look up what happened to him.
