Sounds like when the batteries on my speak and spell were letting go. Maybe that’s a thing now

It’s fucking great to see some kid take a cheapish bit of kit and absolutely turn the thing inside out. However as a fifty year old man it also hurts my ears.

I charitably gave it around 90 seconds. I think it’s interesting how this stuff challenges my perception of music. It’s now so alien I don’t even know what I’m listening to. A generational shift obv, but I think it goes beyond that insofar as kids no longer have any of the same reference points

All i know is that they had a Christmas #1 years ago.
I suspect that bloke has never had a publicity photo taken with his mouth closed, and presuming that book is new it will be 99p in The Works by Dec 26th. Who the fuck is buying that?!

In Ireland the sausage roll is a big seller… I do like a fancy ones from some good bakerys but the one’s the kids eat are nasty… gluppy pale jelly meat wrapped in pastry probably 8% pork

They have also raised well north of a million quid for the Trussell Trust.

It’s amazing how easy it is to make money off people under the ‘guise of philanthropy. Many moons ago there was an organization called Invisible Children that were raising money to protect children being taken as child soldiers in an endless Central African conflict. A noble cause with slick marketing that mostly high schoolers got behind en masse. It didn’t take much to find out exactly how much money was actually going to the cause and it was less than 3%. The other 97% were the usual trope of administrative fees, salaries and “investments”. Founders were suddenly living in very nice homes and driving very nice cars. It all came crashing down but that was heinous and really was praying on people’s good intentions.
Edit: Just had a look and it’s still going, but they’re now in the world of military surveillance and evangelism.

Now you mention it ive definitely seen more than one article about there being some sort of questionable activity around the charidee element of their success.
I’ve read that before, charities are murky at times as it says when you scratch beneath the surface but there will be a lot of people who have been helped by Trussell Trust from the money he raised. That it has to exist in the first place is the real crime I agree.

Where I am, the news is all dominated by the Valencia flood disaster. Horrendous scenes. Nobody can quite comprehend how inept the authorities’ response has been. Staggering that 210+ people died just because someone forgot to trigger the flood warning alarm
