  1. Rumours about Bill Kenwright, can’t see anything definitive though.
  2. A varied opinion about rape?
  3. Some concerning perspectives being offered in this thread. The frankly shocking statistics around conviction rates for rape and sexual assault should tell you all you need to know about why this isn’t, at the time of writing, a criminal matter. For victims of rape, the ordeal of going through legal proceedings could have a life-changing psychological effect, on top of the effect of the assault itself, hence why so many choose not to subject themselves to a process where there is less than 1% chance of justice being served. Imagine the impact of going though all that to see your rapist exonerated. It really isn’t as simple as saying “well why don’t they go to the police then?”, that’s a profoundly naïve stance. Whilst I’m sure we all agree that balance is important, listening to the victims should always be given precedence. I’m sure more information will come to light, but the testimonies published so far make for grim reading.
  4. Rumours that Tom Verlaine has gone, although no official confirmation yet. 2023 is shaping up to be a bad one
  5. The lyric is “I bless the rains” isn’t it?
  6. Similar to people with a sniffle claiming to have the flu, infuriating.
  7. Give his Morning Phase album a try too, came out in 2017 and in a similar vein to Sea Change. He’s a bit of a musical chameleon so there’s a large portion of his work that you’ll definitely hate, but at times he does inhabit territory that you’d enjoy.
  8. Same for me, got the text today. I’m 36 and also in Hall Green, no underlying health issues. Booked in for Friday afternoon.
  9. In a pleasing bit of symmetry the English word dandelion derives from the french “dent de lion” (lion’s tooth) due to the jagged shape of the leaves.
  10. “We did everything we could to prepare for Brexit and are part of the DTI’s export champion community,” says Paul. But since 1 January, his firm – like other UK exporters – has been hit by three new charges. And four days ago the firm discovered another one that his customers in the EU will have to pay on receiving the goods. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2021/jan/17/shock-brexit-charges-are-hurting-us-say-small-british-businesses
  11. They were great in Brum on Sunday night, but Lætitia said her voice was struggling a bit so I guess that’s why they’ve cancelled.
  12. You're an affluent white straight man, things will always be fine.
