I had pork belly with a side salad for my dinner. I suppose there's no chance they'd cancel each other out?

Ah yeah according to science though, so I mean they are only the worst ways to die theoretically until one of us proves it

That was cheerful reading, you'd know christmas was coming.

That cif chlorine sounds horrific, ignites anything it touchs and the gases it produces are corrosive. Good read.

Exactly. Thank god someone got it. How was the pain measured and have the methods changed over the years? Lol

Jaysus, Siouxsie Sioux was something else in her day.

These WAGS that footballers have, especially in the premership, most of them don't look like much, on their wages I'd be expecting a better quality of gold digger....

Unit 731 ticked most of those off.

Kids and parents have it easy these days... fuckers will never know how hard it is to carve a turnip.

The worlds dumbest murderers like Nancy Brophy, Grant Amato and Chris Watts are as fascinating to me as Napoleon, Alexander the Great or James 'The Montrose' Graham.

Isn't it mad how albums are still set to a sort of confined general length, even given that digital is limitless? Like things are still "double albums" etc,  based on vinyl, cassette and cd lengths when there's really no need to do so at all anymore unless one insists on living in the physical world.

Hopefully it'll stay that way because I'm in love with the standard album format as an art form, but it has been surprisingly resistant to change for a good long time now and do we think it will change, or is there a bit of fun to be had discussing why song and album lengths are "Standard"?

[Carnage]

A good point, and a standard that seems to be sticking around, even on a subconscious level - if I'm doing compilations/playlists for the phone or (less so these days) iPod, I'll always limit them to what will fit on a CD for instance, and even have them as disc 1, disc 2, etc. if they go over that length.

No reason for a single to be within specific time limits either, the format is all but dead in physical form.

That being said, I know a lad whose band released a single track, 14 hour album on Earache a few years ago, so what do I know?

[Yung Led Zeppelin]

Yeah, it is. I think in and around 40 minutes is the perfect length. Longer than that and I'm reluctant to go for a repeat anyway.
