Freudian slip there Joe? 
Absolutely hated them in the early 80’s. Now feel like that whole period has aged pretty well. Never a fan of DM when they started to do stadiums and all that, leaves me totally cold
Tried it, thought it was really poor. Not to my taste

Fact of the day (that a lot of you probably already know but I’m gonna mansplain anyway): A lot of the “American” ways of spelling are just the earlier middle english ways of spelling. In the time that the populations diverged, English people picked up a lot of affectations. The obvious ones being words that took up “frenchified” spellings (eg. programme, flavour, catalogue). The American spelling is just a bit more economical and succinct.

I think that might be my issue with it - although the programme isn’t objectively bad - I just don’t get how it can inspire grown men to go full ‘method’ and try and live and dress like one (he says while planning to do a DJ set as a ghostbuster for his 40th birthday)!

Have to disagree.
No way is ‘grilled cheese sandwich’ as efficient as ‘cheese toastie’

On this theme, it’s driving me mad that barely a single person on tv bothers to pronounce ‘th’…eg ‘vem’ not ‘them’, ‘fink’ not ‘think’… I mean, I’m Devonian so can hardly lecture on pronunciation but, please, it’s the real time dumbing down of an entire generation…

Probably one for the small claims but Peaky Blinder related.
Last month the crew from work went out for a meal at Zorba’s the turkish restaurant. Lovely as it was, I was totally distracted by a group of women on the next table, one of whom I recognised as a british actress and it was driving me mad as I couldn’t place her.
I cast for whispered opinions around the table telling people not to look but…
It is coincidence that all the people on our table barr one had dressed as a Peaky Blinder, it’s a costume thing and Lewes Bonfire, so done quite well and not just a cap and a pair of braces…i digress.
It was walking home alone a couple of hours later that it hit me. Helen Mcgrory!! Blimey, her out of Peaky Blinders, how amazing. A search for an image on google to send to the group brought up her obituary in the Guardian.
Right, not her then.

Midsummer nearly. There is metrological and astronomical Summer. I think they’ve decided to swap around just for a laugh

Discogs commenters that only talk about pressing quality.

Also, Discogs commenters that always have to make a point about the b-side or mix that literally no-one played, ever, being “far superior” or “the real gem on this one actually”
Pick any drum n bass anthem and that comment is almost always there without fail.

Pressing quality gatekeepers have helped me avoid lower quality presses before though, so bless them for that
