  1. Quite. I was too young to remember the political machinations, but I remember seeing the police on horsies with their truncheons in the newspapers and on the telly. Seminal moment. Both for the young minds of me and my friends growing up to bear witness to, and as others have alluded to, for the country as a whole.
  2. I have to say mine are pretty helpful, but the thing I tend to lose each time I ask them a question is hundreds of pounds for the next license
  3. The legal disclaimer bit, as ever, is contact your local authority (Council planning dept) and enquire - but as I understand it the rules say that if it is within 2m of any boundary then the total height of the building (including roof) must not exceed 2.5m. The difference being that once 2m away the building could reach 3m - 4m in total with different style roofing but the eaves must still be a maximum of 2.5m as others have said Planning Portal
  4. I'd certainly argue that the roots of the problem pre-date the 1980's and the ditching of the Fairness Doctrine in '87. Bernays was writing books about propagana in the 20's and helping the CIA overthrow democraticaly elected foreign governments (Guatamala et al) in the 50's. The film Network was made in '76. Agree with this bit. I'd add that it's very much by design. Surkov's 'non linear warfare' is hardly confined to Putin's Russia. The ditching of the Fairness Doctrine certainly helps to enable the misinformation of the post truth era imo, but it hardly codified impartiality, much like our ofcom rules. It more stated that opposing opinion(s) must be presented alongside others, with hindsight perhaps leading to the birth of counterpoint journalism, itself I'd argue contributing massively to the proverbial race to the bottom in news standards.
  5. sorry to hear that mate. Far too early.
  6. the Zapp one there might well be the inspiration for...
  7. Having re-read it it is particularly badly worded. I'm just going off the thought that if it had been anyone else there might have been the potential for a bit of doubt in my mind, but the day @tonyh29 is posting in defense of any "lefty loons" is the day we all know he's been hacked or we're living in a sim, or both
  8. Same I don't think it was aimed at you @mottaloo.
  9. yeah, exactly my take, the first 2 albums are chocked full of Analogue Synth loveliness
  10. I think there'll be lots of reflection after this tbh. The fans consoling themselves with it being a young team is only going to last so long. The WRU stumble from embarassing expose to embarassing expose. And you're not alone in bemoaning the state of the proverbial conveyor belt. The reality of gutting the national league structure chasing the money with the franchises along the M4 is hitting home I think. The way Ireland set up the provinces might be the way out of it if 3 or 4 teams is Wales's quota in the professional structure over by here. But in reality the professional game is being run by the WRU in Cardiff in a very Cardiff centric way. Places like Pontypridd, Neath, Ebbw Vale and so on that historically churned out players are places with real social issues, poverty, unemployment, crime, drugs - and will likely never have the funding to compete or even operate at any national level. It's far from the death knell of Welsh Rugby but they're proper hurting tonight. The streets are deserted by me.
  11. That's brilliant. I hope it sticks Just in time for the 1/10 *ahem* thread mods
