    [Music] Iconic band locations

    I used to work at St Pancras Hospital and there was an old medieval church and churchyard next door which was a small but fascinating place, rich in history and very quiet/ rarely visited: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Pancras_Old_Church#cite_note-47 Anyway this was a location the Beatles...

    [Other Sport] Boxing Extravaganza Ce Soir

    For me last night bought some things in to perspective: Wilder is a shit boxer with one very potent weapon and not much else. Never beaten a top class heavyweight and must have been the most protected boxer of all time. This puts Fury's win over him in to perspective, we all fell for the...

    The Beatles

    You are taking a binary view of personal taste 'either you like the Beatles or you don't', whereas in reality personal taste in music is much more complex, fluid and subjective. It's not shaped only by sound but by experiences, emotions and external influences all of which evolves and expands...

    The Beatles

    Of course the Beatles transcend personal taste, I don’t like the music of Mozart or Beethoven, and wouldn’t sit down and listen to it, but would never argue that they weren’t influential and great as that would be a ridiculous position to take. It’s the same principle with the Beatles, you might...

    Norway is one of the coldest countries in the world and also leads the world with EV adoption so I think you can file this concern under bollocks.

    [Travel] Gibraltar is worth a visit ?

    I’ve been a couple of times recently and it’s a lot better than it used to be. There is a big Marina called ocean village and the sundowner hotel there looks quite good and gets decent reviews. There are also a load of apartments in ocean village that share a decent pool complex (good for an...

    [Other Sport] Tyson Fury’s next fight

    I honestly think it’s just the way Fury is. They are not a particularly PC crowd are they the travellers! It’s also nothing to do with interviewers catching him at a bad moment, he puts premeditated videos out on social media spouting all sorts of nonsense. Billy Joe Saunders is exactly the...

    [Other Sport] Boxing at Brighton Centre 10th Nov

    I seem to remember that he was legitimately made a sheriff by a state police department in the US!

    [Other Sport] Boxing at Brighton Centre 10th Nov

    I went last night and although the upper tiers weren't open all the seats that originally went on sale were sold. The £58 seats were incredibly close to the ring so I didn't think the price was that bad for being so close to the action at a televised boxing event and their were a lot of fights...

    [Misc] Emergency Services And Access To Local Buildings

    Your view isn’t correct, not every building has a managing agent, some are managed by freeholders, some are self managed by leaseholders, there are also regulated managing agents and unregulated building managers. But let’s say for arguments sake that you could identify who was responsible...

    [Misc] Emergency Services And Access To Local Buildings

    Having worked both in building maintenance for a while and currently owning a company where my staff have to access blocks of flats regularly i think this would be very difficult to achieve. There are lots of different access systems of varying ages and on many buildings the codes are changed...

    Most door entry systems for blocks of flats have a tradesman’s entrance which opens the door during specified hours of the day, usually early mornings.

    [Politics] Sir Keir Starmer’s route to Number 10

    I think the bit you are missing is that the whole system in the UK was designed to help the asset rich (typically the aristocracy as the biggest landowners) hide their wealth and avoid taxes! All of our laws around things like trusts, inheritance tax, land tenure and corporate governance make it...

    [Other Sport] Tyson Fury’s next fight

    Oh come on, apart from Wilder and maybe Whyte none of the boxers in that list you would consider to have been even top 10 at the time he boxed them! That's 2 top 10 fighters that he has faced in 8 years! Instead of staying active against credible top 10 opponents and cementing his legacy he's...

    [Other Sport] Tyson Fury’s next fight

    Exactly, I don't know how he's been able to get away with it and keep his belts! in the 8 years since he first won a world title he's boxed: Sefer Seferi Francesco Pianeta Tom Swartz Otto Wallin Deontay Wilder x3 Derek Chisora Dillian Whyte Yet he's been able to hype himself to to the point...

    [Other Sport] Tyson Fury’s next fight

    I am amazed that anyone would pay £21.95 to watch an undercard topped with a British title defence and main event where one of the fighters is making his pro debut!
