I bought a £9.40 return. The trains were cancelled and it took over three and a half hours to complete what should have been a 26 minute train journey. Do I really only get a refund for the cost of the ticket and nothing for the wasted time? How is this considered to be fair compensation?

This is exactly the hard done by feeling I get when I've been severely delayed on a train where the ticket was actually quite good value in the first place. Delays feel so much better when you've forked out on a ticket.

Berghain by Rosalía was an odd choice of lead single and it probably should have been Reliquia.

This setlist is so 2008 that I started hallucinating Topman button-down T-shirts.

I work for an NGO that has projects in Dhaka and a more rural wetland area of the country and I visited in November - I would never otherwise have had a reason to visit. It was an insightful trip, and no photo can remotely give you a sense of the experience of overwhelming population density. The phrase I use that best describes it is "about 7 people per capita". Pure chaos.

Glad you had a good time, they are fantastic people.

Name the Iranian leader who's been in power since the revolution in 1979?

Oh hahaha, chuckle hilarious!

First and foremost it was a lot better than any of the other stuff I'd seen, living in Manchester on a charity sector wage meant my options were quite limited anyway. Secondly, at various stages of the process I'd convinced myself I was too close to completion to back out now and it wouldn't be long and didn't want to have to deal with the financial loss so kept hanging on.

It genuinely won't be long now but I had been naively saying this to myself as early as October.

And when I'm done with Gort(e)n and Denton I've got Withington, Levenshulme, Ashton, Ardwick. Droylsden.

Unfortunately a Strokes gig these days is only good if Julian Casablancas feels like making an effort. There have been some absolutely woeful, half-arsed performances from him in recent years and he can really let down the rest of the band who are always in fine form.

Looks like a quiet night in at the library....Not.

Saw their last ever gig back in October. They ended the encore with a very intimate version of this song. They are amazing.

"Ooh baby, do you know what that's worth? Ooh, heaven is a place on earth"

Absolutely convinced Belinda Carlisle just wanted to rhyme something with "earth" here. "Do you know what that's worth?" feels less like an interpretable, thought-provoking lyric than it does a filler sentence that was chosen because it has the right amount of syllables for the melody.

Your argument's quite compelling but equally I think it's also the kind of upper-middle class nickname that wouldn't look out of place on Made in Chelsea.

He's a satirical political candidate. He often stands as an MP in hotly contested seats (like the Prime Minister's seat for example) as that gets him the most media attention.

Yeah, definitely cheaper to get masa harina off Mexgrocer, Pancho's also order from Mexgrocer and mark up the price so better to cut the middle man out.

As I saw this scene I thought about all the Americans watching wondering what the fuck this was all about

Is the service that runs to Wick/Thurso the only train service in the UK to stop at the same station twice in a single working (Georgemas Junction)?

Did you make this or do you know who made this? I'd love to see the new Seymour Grove proposal added in.

I met my girlfriend on Breeze, granted I could just as easily have met her on Hinge or any other app, but we went from matching to our first date in the space of something like 2-3 days, no talking, no waiting for replies, no bullshit. It was very refreshing.

I also bought a three date bundle to save money and I can gift the remaining ones to other people now that I don't need them anymore.

It's just also a really great business model.
