People who recline their seats on short haul flights are pricks. Your knees are already up against the seat in front on most budget flights.

The clientele is getting increasingly "left" shall we say and by the looks of it the acts are as well .



Well the bar is at the left of the Warehouse!

Quite partial to both despite the obvious commercial plaudits chasing by Dave. Some brilliant songs across both.

But they need those guns in case some wannabe tyrant tries to wipe his arse with the constitution and...oh wait  :eyeroll:

I know I liked Book of Souls at the time but I cannot remember a note of it now. Senjutsu was unbelievably boring and I've never returned to it since the first listen.

Went to Lidl yesterday to buy an impact gun they had on offer. There was supposed to be a charger and battery included.

4 units left in stock and every one of them had had the battery stolen from the box. Why are people such scummy cunts

Quote from: Eoin McLove on March 30, 2026, 11:22:57 AMA pair of black shorts. A big dribble of toothpaste right down the crotch. I don't know what they put into toothpaste (is it cement?), but scrub as I may I still look like a cum-stained public disgrace.

The old toothpaste excuse  :laugh:

Quote from: Pagan Saviour on March 20, 2026, 07:30:29 AMBut this in all honesty is the thickest thing I've ever heard of

Quote"We play a little piece of one of the songs. We played it on this Canadian run [with MEGADETH and EXODUS] that we just came back from. But I could see us kind of expanding it a bit for our friends in Australia


Wow - going from 20 seconds to perhaps 30 or 35 seconds of a new track.

Credit where it's due, they're finally shaking up the setlist a bit  :laugh:

Starts strong but doesn't really go anywhere after that. The low growl is reminiscent of the beast of old but the voice cracks badly at times and really shatters the illusion

Quote from: Mooncat on March 13, 2026, 01:35:19 AMJust read Child of God by Cormac McCarthy. It's a pretty short book and a fast read. Kind of a combination of Blood Meridian and No Country For Old Men in a lot of ways. Really enjoyed it. His writing is just levels above most authors.
Yeah I loved Child of God, only read it last year.  Only one of his I struggled with so far is "All The Pretty Horses".  Didn't have the patience at the time, moved on to something else.

The only McCarthy I've read so far is the last 2 he came out with The Passenger and Stella Maris. I liked the setting of the former but found it dull enough otherwise. I liked Stella Maris much more despite the format, Alicia was just a much more interesting character than Bobby.

I have copies of All The Pretty Horses and The Road. I know The Road is unrelentingly grim but sounds like I won't fare much better with All The Pretty Horses!
