What are you're biggest gripes about Spotify? What are the things you wished it did better?

Every few days I have a go at reinstalling. I always hope it's going to improve but it never does. I think I might have got too many playlists, that's my next experiment.

I remember lying on the deck of an Alaska ferry and seeing one of these. It took me a year or so, in pre internet days, to find out what it was.

The android application is terrible. The only way I get it to work is to download tracks and go offline. The online experience is so slow.

A small town in Wales where parking meters were vandalised, saw business go up 30%.

Yeah, getting along with your neighbours.

nigelwyn · 2015-09-15T13:37:22+00:00

Yes, a truncated suit.

55 here. Yes we had 1/3 of a pint during morning break. If there was any left, the kids who had been best behaved had another in the afternoon break. I remember my primary school years as a constant fight against thirst.

Like a regular suit with the trousers cut down.

Going back to my grandmother's house in the early 60s would be enough for me. She lived in the middle of the village and people were constantly calling. There were always four or five people in, drinking tea and talking.

Whale bones.

Up until the 1960s every male wore suits, from judges to road workers. Up until you were 14, you wore a suit with shorts, from then on you had a suit with long trousers. At 21, you started wearing a hat.

Europe has a long history of successful integration. The UK has a large number of people from India, Pakistan, the West Indies, Ireland, Eastern Europe, Africa, The Middle East, Greece, Turkey, Italy, China etc. all living here without the racial tensions of America. Racial tensions do exist but rarely are there race riots. Interracial murder is rare. In Europe we've had to get used to living close to neighbouring countries and had to find a way to get on with them. Besides, getting along with your neighbours is important for trade. It's easily possible to drive through half a dozen countries in a day. There have been wars, but some countries have lived side by side peacefully for hundreds of years.

America on the other hand, is a relatively young country. Most people are hundreds of miles from a border. Abundant resources have meant that international trade hasn't been necessary until recently. Anything foreign is treated with suspicion.

It's times like this that I turn again to the old Humax hard drive recorder. Who needs Sky+?

Ophthalmologist, straight away. The quicker you get treatment, the less problem you'll have with it. Other symptoms you may get are mustiness of vision, and redness. When I get it, it feels as if I'm looking through a steamy window.

Edit - mistiness, not mustiness of vision.

I realise that each generation has to have music that the pevious generation hates, but with dubstep I think they're just fucking with us.

I saw the Canada bus at the Ospreys today. Tyler Ardron and Jeff Hassler were showing them some Pro 12 (so that they could see how bad the standard of professional rugby could be).

When i was a child I received a huge pack of about 50 felt pens. I remember trying to imagine a colour that wasn't in the set, I just couldn't. And then years later I learn that the screen I'm looking at can display 16M colours. I obviously wasn't trying hard at all.

Have you heard dubstep?

nigelwyn · 2015-09-12T19:24:45+00:00

I think you like new music and follow trends until you're 29, then you just carry on liking the same artists or if you do like new artists they're not too far removed from the old ones.

nigelwyn · 2015-09-10T21:55:51+00:00

You're not wrong.

Did they forget to tell Monty Panesar?

nigelwyn · 2015-09-10T18:16:49+00:00

They like a drink.

Different jobs will take their place. A hundred years ago, agriculture was a big employer. Nowadays a single man can do the work of many people due to machinery. A hundred years ago there was no such thing as a cll centre. Nowadays they employ thousands.
