As a non-Brit, just wondering why everyone is in knots about Kate’s photo being touched up?

My wife is obsessed by it. Thinks Kate is dead/dying from cancer/abducted by aliens and there’s some big cover up/conspiracy going on.

Because the whole place is going to shit and needs a distraction.

Ahhh love Portsmouth - we drove up from Boston a few years ago and made the stop. Lovely town.
I dated a woman in Houston around 2007 and would fly down to see her. She lived in the Montrose area which was arty & gay and quite fun. Walkable to the Menil Collection, Cy Twombly Gallery, restaurants. I mean I was sort of tipsy and besotted the entire time and therefore had a blast, but I probably wouldn’t live there.

Not sure when you were last here but since Covid it’s exploded. My eldest is 10 and he can without any irony say, “I can remember when all of this was fields.” It’s a city now.

Ffs. Slick.Those chancers (amongst others) were rigging the LIBOR rate too. Feel sorry for the person working there.

The annual national obsession with ‘Glasto’, worse than the f*cking Royal family obsession.

I don’t do large scale festies. Last one was Primavera 2016 when some tourist pricks chanted all the way through Radiohead and LCD. I’m sure at Glastonbury there still is magical stuff on the margins but not sure I could face having to wade (literal) miles through the throng to find it.

Yeah same. Last time I went to Glastonbury was 2003. I went a few times in the 90’s and 2000’s, but rarely saw anyone on the main stages.
Couldn’t face the trudge these days

Ten years of that shit… I wonder if there will be a followup so we can find out what happened.

African records in the Reggae section.
You’ve priced them up on Discogs so the clues are there. And it’s Fela FFS!
