What don't you get

Agree with every word. I could bore on about Sure Start endlessly but it’s the past and hoping that the future will bring a new version of it (I’m optimistic!)

I’ve been thinking about the dominant form of music for every forth rate DJ doing a night in a local bar or pub. These nights stink and drive out anyone with any taste in music.

Do we have the genre ‘Shit House Music’ ?

It’s cool how people have shifted from using ‘woke’ to dismiss anything vaguely political they disagree with, to now using it to express frustration with anyone mentioning any of the world’s injustices in any context.

If someone uses the term woke i cant take them seriously. Noel Gallagaher has always been a massive twat though and hes just going down the standard route of ageing rocker becoming more right wing and a teeny bit racist as time goes on.

Yeah it’s come to the point where it’s a personal litmus test – if someone uses the term in earnest I simply don’t engage.

Joining the Euro zone would be nonsensical.

I don’t think the relative upsides or downsides would even come into it. Many would be outraged simply because the Euro is “forrin”

There’s probably good arguments for both joining and staying outside but any state that wants to join the EU is required to commit to joining the single currency.

Unless you’re Denmark.

I hope that a change in Government might at least plug the dyke for a while. The last time I visited the UK there were all the signs of a nation getting all the wealth siphoned off shore, and for quite some time. A very depressing thing to see. But the two party traditional system has very plainly failed in creating a sustainable society in the UK.

Which is why, despite believing Brexit was a huge mistake, I am against rejoining.

They need to a better deal, brexit was the biggest fuck up in decades. It doesn’t need to be so obstructive and isolationist.

I know I’m probably one of the curmudgeoniest curmudgeons on here, and I promise to do better (ish), but…

Clothes sites that champion celebs wearing their gear. I’m looking at you Percival (Jordan North ffs. Something else I don’t get).

Wax Clothing - “Ryan Reynolds loves our Porto shirts (or whatever)”.

Puts me off buying.

Happy Sunday. Namaste :pray:t3: x

Also the current trend for male models looking down at the floor in a ‘ moody’ way, usually wearing a cap, on fashion sites

see also: dj duos looking similarly moody on flyers/posters/mix streams, one stood a bit behind with hands in pockets as though auditioning for the Krays, Sleaford Mods or Audio Bullys

Nail on the head… lol funny to watch for a few minutes, there’s a clip from a few weeks ago where Soweto DJ Fka Mash came on after some moody duo and a booth full of clones didn’t know what to do as soon as he upped the tempo with the first track…lol

Joe Biden. Watching his speech and Q&A… fucking hell! Hard watch. He just said he chose Trump as his running mate. Embarrassing.

It’s getting to the point that Trump will be a shoe in with this idiot.
