You'd think Musk had stuffed the board with fan-boy sycophants or something...

Musk awarded $1tn pay package/plan on the same day OpenAI was asking Trump to underwrite their debt/loans to the tune of $1.4tn

WTF kind of mental time are we living in?!

Because it’s hard to grasp the scale of these ...

Gavster I've never really been into them either - some of their early stuff is more approachable and actually listenable, but they're one of 'those' bands who I kind of feel compelled to experience. Getting early access to a gig I could walk to and home from felt like the best/easiest opportunity ...

We went to see Autechre at a club in Brighton last night

I have mixed feelings

It kind of made me think of taking a sauna, or a really deep tissue massage - they're nice when they stop

And while they're happening you're thinking "why did I pay for this?!"

It was quite an unpleasant experience ...

House of Dynamite

This is a new Kathryn Bigalow film on Netflix that starts with an ICDM being detected and heading towards the US, but without any systems having spotted where it was launched from.

There's 20 mins until it lands, but what to do, given the US doesn't know who fired it - and ...

I've been watching quite a lot of the Australian Supercar highlights on YouTube recently

Some amazing racing, great looking/sounding cars, interesting tracks etc

The last 10 laps of this year's Bathurst 1000 were immense

It's funny, my Uncle (who used to work on a metal-working machine) always wore his watch with the face on the underside of his wrist

I'd totally forgotten that was a thing until I saw that video preview image above

I can still remember the way he'd roll his hand out (rather than in) to check the ...

Funnily enough, I was reading about the Ollee watch mod recently

You can also easily mod the internal to take a way longer lasting CR2032 battery too

Sad news - only 66 - but he's lead a life though

A legend, and highly influential

I can remember seeing Soft Cell on Top of the Pops in the early 80s and being fascinated by them

The look - leather, biker jackets, but on thin, clearly not tough men. I knew somehow they were 'different ...

One of my favourite uses of the word shit (from Running Scared)

it’s bad isn’t it, that you almost in a way don’t want them to end the war in Gaza because Trump has been part of the solution…. i said almost!


I wouldn't go that far, but I do agree that on Gaza, he does deserve credit (if things do improve there)

The problem with Trump and the Nobel Prize ...

I still think the best way to understand quite how mental Trump is is to read his speeches word for word to yourself

I don't know if he's ever finished a sentence?

Gets half way through a sentence then veers off onto something else

WTF 😂

Well, what's the point in building a gold-lined ball room if you don't use it to make money?

Apparently McGregor's terms were a purse of $100m and 100 of Trump's $100,000 gold visa things (for ...

Thanks Simon

Not really sure where I stand though in terms of pushing it further?

Maybe one for @Jobbo ?


UK Consumer Rights act is 5-6 years for electrical goods non? (Depending which part of the UK you are in)


I think so, but I don't think the manufacturer/seller is obligated to give more than some ...

I'm gutted that my Dualit milk further has stopped heating (it still whisks, but doesn't heat up the milk anymore)

It's not even two years old, which I think is really poor performance

Having contacted them, they've offered me a 34% discount, but I'm a bit pissed off really

Given the cost ...

A 9 bar used to have another meaning...

Lol, an 8pm start is like people camping out on Christmas eve for the sales

My Dad still uses a percolator (he's used one for as long as I can remember, since I was a child) and I've never felt compelled to spit out his coffee in disgust...

I think I saw him at Fabric 25 odd years ago but let's be honest with ourselves, who can be sure... ;) :lol:

My recollection is the main room heaving and the other areas looking like a "wedding dancfloor at 01:30 am with Simply Red playing" - a single random punter dancing to an other DJ who's ...
