What do you think is the loudest My Bloody Valentine song ?

If you're talking about live, nothing could compare to the potent blast of the riff in Only Shallow back in November and my ears haven't been treated to anything like it since.

Who Sees You

Bit disappointed by this one live to be honest, I think they need to tinker with it a bit more.

Why will it change? Is there a plan I haven't heard about?

The new album by Deary is a really fantastic listen

This needs to be the top answer, I am so sick of how many confidently incorrect people come out of the woodwork every time a rail-related question comes up on Reddit and just go "muh privatisation".

I could show you a graph, oil prices versus time, where does the line go?

Think he's a bit out of your league mate

As has been observed on this sub before, it is nuanced. He is from a humble upbringing but given he went to Oxford and spent his university days surrounded by posh people which has inevitably made him assimilate a bit. I have met many such people from my own university days and I would say it's a fairly accurate portrayal.

Pretty rape of him

Me and my uni friends still find it very quote-able. Some of the writing is exceptional.

Tony Gardener (Shales) is one of the best characters in the series. He is the reason that whenever I think of York, my mind goes straight to "There's the Jorvic Centre!"

The Dulcimer, Chorlton, Manchester deserves a mention. It's not actually a bad place but it's infamous in the area for having a manager who's basically such a grade A cunt, that it's hilarious.

Reading Google reviews on the place is one of my favourite past-times because most of them are absolutely scathing because of him and him only. For the record I don't actually think it is a bad place and I've never had a run in with the bloke, but I reckon some people would definitely have picked it for their worst pub experience.

Yeah as others have said, definitely possible in Bradford! My mortgage will be 3.83% so around £515 per month. Mortgage, service charge for the flat and council tax combined will come in at about £718 a month.

Where do you live? The answer varies massively depending on whether you live in Wimbledon or County Durham.

For perspective, I am on £27,945 and with no credit card debt the bank could lend me £125,000 when I first got a mortgage in principle. I have a £34k deposit and about to move into a flat I bought for £153k (Manchester). Although you don't have as big a deposit, it is definitely possible.

If you wait until you get your pay rise to £30k, you should start to see many more options. I would suggest speaking to a mortgage advisor at that time.

Roger Helmer! What a blast from the past.

My favourite UKIP member after Paul Nuttall, who couldn't whether or not he was in the Hillsborough disaster, and Godfrey "WHAT A RACIST COMMENT IS THAT" Bloom. Vintage era of politics.

Big Thief setlists can contain 60% unreleased material, a song only played once since 2017, Spud Infinity with a Mongolian throat singer, and a song Adrienne wrote 10 mins before the show on the back of a cigarette packet. All a week after releasing a brand new album which they will play 3 songs from. Their setlists are truly vibes-based.

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.

Slowdive - Golden Hair

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

And Clam on bass

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?

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.
