    [Music] Headphone advice

    Bowers and Wilkins are my favorites. Sussex-based company too.....

    [Albion] Albion Trivia Question

    Yes - there's some trickery going on here. I've checked back to the 1920s (I know, I'm sorry) and none of the straightforward data suggests that someone started 49 league games in a season. I suspect you're on to something with abandoned games.....

    [Misc] Companies House: Shooting the Messenger

    I love the Companies House website, but I suppose I can be a bit of a snooper, although I call it forensic accounting. So many people out there with big houses, big cars and five companies with the grand sum of minus £300k assets and a trail of historic dissolved companies behind them. Saw one...

    [Politics] Brexit

    So there we are - in the long term, Brexit could help save the planet. Good times.

    [Music] Vinyl records

    I went back to vinyl about 2 years ago and buy only vinyl, unless there isn't a choice. I loved my Ariston Q deck back in the day, but I'm now the happy owner of an Elipson Omega. My 13 year old son bought his first turntable yesterday - a wooden Ion with built-in speakers and the other two...

    [Misc] The new Gillette ad

    From reading comments on Twitter, there are a fair few who are insulted by it, not that the loudest people on Twitter are representative of society as a whole, thank goodness. Gillette must be pleased with the attention I think - they may lose some customers, but this media frenzy is surely...

    [Misc] The new Gillette ad

    Anyone offended by that must have the thinnest skin. All the bad behaviors in it are clear "masculine" tropes we've all seen many, many times in real life and all of them are indeed unwelcome. I wouldn't exactly say well done to Gillette as they are clearly trying to sell product, but to be...

    [Politics] Brexit

    I think this is saying that the Swiss Federal Council believes that the UK is able to novate its WTO schedules from an EU-wide to a UK-only perspective and would therefore be able to trade under WTO rules when it has committed to these schedules (which can be prepared for in advance of 29th...

    [Music] Albums of the year 2018

    Happy to have 11 of these - I must have great taste - but I'm astounded that Janelle Monae is not in there.

    [Help] Ever written a book???

    I (help) write an Annual Report and Accounts for a listed company every year. I don't recommend anyone should read it unless they're a prospective investor. Actually, maybe not even then - it's not exactly a page turner. It's very heavily timetabled and I usually get all day, every day to write...

    [Misc] Intriguing time-waster

    I've played this a lot in the past and it's infuriating. I think the UK/London versions are do-able. It has given me some great ideas for places I never want to visit though.

    [Humour] I just saw

    I've seen him TWICE. Once at a garage on the A20, close to Charing, and once waiting for the train at St Pancras. However, I've NEVER seen Bob Mortimer, although he used to be my parents-in-law's neighbor.

    [Technology] Are some leftwingers unthinking automatons?

    Again, I agree partly - calling someone racist, sexist or a Nazi has more heft than calling someone "libtard", "snowflake" or "cuck", but I don't think that there are any sides who are exclusively fighting a "fair fight". You don't have to dig very deep on either side to find endless arguments...

    [Technology] Are some leftwingers unthinking automatons?

    I agree with you on the general point of intolerance of the opinions of others and the assumption of offensive or simplistic motivations, but I think you're being a bit generous to those you're defining as not being on the left if you think that they are also not contributing to a large extent...

    Indietracks Festival / all things C86 and indiepop!

    Never heard of them, but I’ll check out their music - not sure about the name, but happy to overlook this if they can hold a tune.

    Indietracks Festival / all things C86 and indiepop!

    I KNEW there was something I was meant to be doing. Let me look into this: the computer with all the recorded music on is now in my eldest’s room. I also don’t know where the CDRs are - could be in the loft. Things have changed since I made this offer. Bear with me...

    Indietracks Festival / all things C86 and indiepop!

    I've subscribed for this and have got the first two - Apple Boutique and The Siddeleys. The originals for both of these (plus the ones to come) are pretty pricey, so it's a good way to fill the gaps in your record collection (although there are a few overlaps for me in this series). The...

    [Cricket] ***Sussex CCC v Leicestershire CCC, LVCC Div2, Hove, 4-7 September 2018,10.30 KO's***

    Classic case of being dead easy to smash sixes all over the park, but very hard to play.
