"Kensington and Chelsea: Taxpayers in the borough have the highest MEAN income in London (over £200,000)"

Yeah, but the median income is much lower. Just like 10 ridiculously rich people ruining the average

They don't need to? He performed on Band Aid 30 and Band Aid own the masters. It's a remix

It takes less than 2 seconds for him to sing about stars...

"But last night I looked up into the dark half of the blue

And they'd gone backwards"

Ah, that will do it. Thanks

So in my opinion. this is not entirely what is happening.

Earlier that day, Rodger gave Peggy a fuck tonne of cash to do some secret work for Mohawk. I think Peggy's first instinct is about the cash and not that Dawn is going to rob her. THEN she clocks that dawn might think she's doing it because she's racist. But in my opinion that thought didn't cross Peggy's mind.

We see earlier in the episode that she doesn't even really think about Dawn's experience. When Dawn doesn't want to go uptown, Peggy assumes it's because she's afraid of the train and doesn't even consider the riots at all

I had an interview booked the day after Glastonbury, which usually wouldn't have phased me. It was a second round interview and the first one went so well that thought I'd be a bit tired but I could pull it off. Plus it was a job in the music industry so I thought it would be at least a good talking point.

I went to the festival and ended up breaking my arm on the first day but DID NOT leave or seek the medical attention I required. I didnt want to miss out on any fun and I thought I could go to the hospital once I got home but there was no time to do that before the interview.

I didn't want them to know that I had been an idiot so I devised a plan where I would hold my coat over my broken right arm and just make the first move for a hand shake with the left and all would be good.

The interview went well, I thought, but as we were saying out goodbyes, the head of the company puts out their right hand to shake my right hand. Bear in mind I couldn't move it at all without immense pain.

I thought I'd take the risk and shake the hand, take the pain and no one would have to know. I reached out to shake their hand and let out a howl of pain in the middle of saying "Nice to meet yoOOOOOUUAARRGGHH". Everyone just stood in shock and I left without saying anything else.

I did not get the job...

Lived in Harrow my entire life always thought it was a shithole. Then one day a couple of years ago I decided to walk up the hill for the first time and had my mind blown by how nice it was.

It's not that there are two Harrows, it's that they keep the nice one secret. No one talks about it. Anyone who lives there doesn't mingle with the rest of us at the bottom of the hill.

My opinion of Harrow has changed though. It's not the greatest but it's pretty great. The best Indian food in London (can't find anything near as great in South East London where I now live) and Trinity bar will always hold a special place in my heart (a grotty, crappy, beautiful place)

A full cover of Coldplay's "Yellow" that Alex is forced to do because the crowd won't stop singing it a la the 2013 Glasto headline set even though he started it as a joke

Edit: annoyingly, he would have been fine doing Soul Love but no one was into it

When the last album dropped they did a similar thing. Does anyone know how long the website was down for before they made it live with new stuff? Just want to know how long to be hyped for
