It's old, but: 70% of the Earth is covered by water, the rest by Kante.

Don't think the shop's open at the moment...

Is he going to pay the players GBP0.00000000000003 per appearance? It's utter bollox. Kroenke is carved from the same material as the Glazers. He's not going to sell. As a caveat, I can't stand Arsenal and generally wish them the very worst. But good luck in the Thursday night final (if they get there).

Current Affairs? This is an odd place to vent about a second hand purchase. Unless it was bought from a major political figure...

The labour costs should be claimed by the LBS from the supplier/manufacturer of the faulty part. The customer should in no way have to carry any cost pertaining to a warrantee replacement.

This is good, that bloke in the red hat's not bad (litotes in action).

You probably have a copy of an ID. I would doubt it is the actual person's document.

One of the few covers Zappa did. From Does Humor Belong in Music. Frank looks rather pleased, and so he should. Nominative determinism alert: the drummer is Chad Wackerman.

I love Julian Ryder I really miss his commentary. One of my favourites was when the forward facing camera on the tailpiece caught the sun shining between Rossi's legs as he wheelied after winning. "There's the proof, the sun does indeed shine out of Rossi's behind" Or words to that effect. Bloody brilliant. Edit: typo.

The back pages of the British music press in the early eighties was a rich source of odd band names. Anal Fleas being one of the more memorable...

Your urine extraction game is good sir, one can but only doff one's cap.

If you have an interest in what makes comedians tick. Have a listen to the Comedian' Comedian podcast with Stuart Goldsmith. It goes back about 8 years. It can get a bit "What's your process" at times but it's not bad.

There are people who think "The Pub Landlord" is a real person. Al Murray also has a drum manufacturing business. He's a pretty good drummer.

This made me laugh much more than it should have done. "200 Proofs Earth is not a Spinning Ball".

Vic & Bob. Incomparable. The Stotts interview Sting and more surreal madness.

Don't worry about your bike falling apart if you've used the correct torque settings. As an example, I had a severe front wheel tuck and high side. My helmet cracked and I was severely concussed. By bike was fine, nothing bent or came off. The items designed to move instead of snapping in case of a structural event moved. I'd like to think it was because I'd built and serviced it using specified torque settings.

A one inch drive? What do you work on, combine harvesters? A half inch drive torque wrench with reducers to 3/8" and 1/4" should cover most eventualities. Although the torque range on most 1/2" inch drive tools does not go low enough for bikes. You would probably need a smaller wrench to get the low value adjustability. I have a 1/2" drive heavy duty unit which goes from 20 - 250Nm; a smaller 3/8" drive unit adjustable from 20 - 120Nm with high accuracy and a small 1/4" drive, adjustable from 2.5 - 20Nm also highly accurate. The big one was about GBP400 and the other two around GBP200 each. All made by Garant, a fairly specialised German manufacturer. They are refugees from my previous employer...

Here's some origin stuff. One of my absolute favourites. He's come through huge adversity after suffering two strokes. Have a read of his Wiki page it's inspiring stuff. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwyn_Collins#Orange_Juice

+1 on oat milk. I also don't use milk in coffee but echo the sentiment about cereal.

That. Is. Great. The Tele sound is gorgeous. She sings quite well too...

This popped up in my suggestions today. The Specials and the Winehouse versions are superb. But this the original, for me, is the best. I was at school in Jamaica for a year and a bit in the mid-seventies and my older sister used to buy a load of random records every week. This was one of my absolute favourites.

You're right, it is and it is.

This must have been posted before, but I just heard it on Lauren Laverne's BBC6 Music show and it brought back a load of memories. My mate was a big fan (me not so much) and insisted I go with him to see them at Portsmouth Guildhall. It was February 1982 their support act was Blancmange and Depeche Mode were excellent. Even though Vince Clarke had left by then.

Nice explainer from Alex Petridis in The Guardian. https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/dec/07/bob-dylan-rights-sale-part-freewheelin-approach-business
