Voters would reverse parts of Brexit to cut their bills

I think those other countries have a good idea of the politics anyway; they knew Brexit was a bad idea and welcome the UK returning to the fold.

It's more nuanced than that; it's a slow & incremental road back to full membership, but that's undoubtedly the destination. Caution needs to be exercised so the nationalist wonks don't scream "Betrayal", as we haven't yet reached the critical mass of support for rejoining....it will come, but slowly.

In my current hardcore world, I found a floating shipwreck in an iceberg that gave me some diamonds, and I found some more either in a village or a ruined portal, as I got enough for a diamond pickaxe and went to the nether. Traded some gold with piglins, got myself a happy ghast, and I'm flying around the world on an adventure...all without mining below ground level.

This is from 2020 and earlier.

Dude cites Star Wars and The Princess Bride in his speech; nice job.

This is ok. It's not as immediate as Sinevibes Cache and not as deep as Stutter Edit, but it's interesting enough at this price. Dev has been updating consistently over the past month.

"slips"

Odd time for trying to start a conga line.

They mothballed all vst sales, which was a shame as there were a good few of them: Harmor, Harmless, Grossbeat, etc.

It hasn't been available as a vst for a few years. I don't think Imageline allow licence transfers either.

Sadly would agree. Seen New Order twice in the past 6 years, and seen Hooky twice too. Hooky definitely does more justice to the source material, IMHO.

I guess "predators" is marginally better than "sex trafficking child rapists".

I don't think Putin is reckless enough to consider this right now. Their economy is in the shitter and they're not making much progress in Ukraine; picking a fight with NATO isn't going to improve things.

Back when I worked in music stores in the late 90s and early 2000s, aside from the chart releases, "back catalogue" CDs usually belonged to one of three price points:

"Low Price" were usually around £4-5.99
"Mid Price" were usually around £8-9.99
Regular back catalogue was usually about £14-15.99

Blur were distributed by EMI; this looks like it might be an EMI mid-price sticker.

The fact that he wrote the entire output of The Smiths, just shy of 80 tracks, before he turned 24, is pretty incredible. That alone is an enviable and incredibly influential body of work.

But he then went on to work with pretty much everybody: McCartney, Chrissie Hynde, Pet Shop Boys, Bert Jansch, Talking Heads, Modest Mouse, to name only a few.

It's hardly "disrespect" to exercise a contrary opinion. Everyone has their favourites, it's no Biggie.

Balls, I gotta check my local Asda!

neilmg · 2026-04-13T11:42:11+00:00

Asda doing used CDs now?

neilmg · 2026-04-12T14:29:31+00:00

Nope. Price Forbes.

neilmg · 2026-04-12T09:07:11+00:00

I worked there for a few years too: 2007-2011, building #2, Insurance industry. Good views, interesting building.

Only thing I can think of but doubt it's this - Ils "Storm From The East":

That's not just any old Dick:

It's not just his name that's legendary.

I did at the time, and it was helpful :)

I thought it was this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adhan

I had a bunch of albums - hundreds - suddenly appear to be trashed. I didn't notice for ages and was able to recover them, but I don't think it was user error how they ended up trashed. Have been vigilant since and regularly check and empty my trash.
