  1. This looks phenomenal so going to try to see it this weekend.
  2. 2 of mine now. I will bloody win this.
  3. It must have been prompted by his death but out of the blue I was reading about these this week and gave them a listen. It was good.
  4. I don't know them in all honesty, I have seen the name and I think they are playing or have played Willies Luck Festival but nothing more than that.
  5. I think you may well have encapsulated it quite well.
  6. Very underrated film Porky's.
  7. Apparently The Gentlemen has been made into a series on Netflix. I liked the film a lot so will add that to my list.
  8. They are terrible in that office. @Rob182 had his season ticket suspended for some abuse he threw out on Twitter once. Seems they are quick to act on behalf of snowflakes but not on refunds.
  9. I don't think I am well. I have had a headache for a month or so, not a bad one, just a bit of a headache. 2 weeks ago my eyes started itching and getting sore. Then the right side of my face, eyebrow to forehead became completely numb. So I had a trip to the dentist, opticians, GP and no issue was found. 111 suggested I go to A and E, which I did, blood checked and no issue found but referred to a neurologist. Today I have an appointment with my GP to discuss that referral. 3 days ago the left of my face went also completely numb and the eyes got itchier. At night it's almost impossible to sleep due to the feeling slightly of something dripping into my eyes and the moderate headaches. I think there is some kind of infection but no one has picked up on this and prescribed antibiotics.
  10. Extraordinary Season 2 starts back up on March the 6th. Loved the first one. Also hearing Physical 100 Season 2 is imminent as well.
  11. Well the third album is supposed to be "rock and roll" let's have her on stage at Download then.
  12. Will probably vote Green here. Parachuted in labour candidate and Greens representing me pretty well on the council so will put my vote on them.
  13. I do not feel anyone has a right to radioplay if I was being honest. No one is entitled to be played. Your other points is your view or hard to prove or disprove, therefore the only comment I have is on anyone's entitlement to radioplay, however it will get played.
  14. I had my last day yesterday at my last job and I was doing compliance review of Non Clinical NHS standards and my god it was easy. It was ridiculous. Start new job on Monday and the cushy life of Riley will be gone.
  15. I think there are a few points with Beyonce and her second attempt to have a bite of the country cherry, the last time was with the song Daddy Issues, and that didn't work so with 16 Carriages, Texas Hold Em and the bloody Stetson, she needed to be less ambiguous. Why has she done it? In my opinion Beyonce did it because of pure arrogance, has she shown any liking towards country music? Guesting at an awards show aside, not really. Post Malone has, I see a natural progression with him into that market. Lana Del Ray is also threatening a country album, and I see a similar cynical cash grab from her, but I find her more intriguing as I fell it will be more the sound of George and Tammy than what Beyonce has produced this far. So is Beyonce country, has she delivered a country song. Let's forget 16 Carriages, that's just acoustic pop. Texas Hold Em, is it country? Well if Walker Hayes' Fancy Like and Blanco Brown's The Git Up are considered country, then Texas Hold Em is without question, country music. Is it El Paso City? Is it He Stopped Loving Her Today? Is it even Call Mama? God no, but it's style is similar to the nadir of country music, Fancy Like. So by definition, in the modern sense she has produced a country music song. Should it be played? Country music has a long history of black artists making an impact and getting considerable play on country radio. Regardless of what Billboard magazine and the BBC think, Charley Pride, Kane Brown, Darius Rucker and Ray Charles are notable acts in the genre. Country radio is powerful and if they choose to play a song then it will inevitably be successful. I feel it will be played but not because of Beyonce or her fans demanding it is played. How dare they, when Taylor Swift moved to pop did she demand that pop radio played her song, did The Band Perry demand that their first pop song was played? Did Maren Morris's brief foray into pop and rnb demand stations play her music. No, any airplay, or none in some cases were because of usual channels. Why should Beyonce get airplay on country radio? Why is it her right to that play? Neo traditional acts don't get a look in these days, Alan Jackson doesn't, George Strait doesn't, Charley Crockett doesn't. Women certainly don't, Kacey Musgrave's ditched country music because radio ignored her. I believe she along with Zach Bryan have the number 1 country song at the moment, I guarantee that if she sang it without him, it would not get any play. Women. In country music do not get airplay, so why should an interloper be treated any differently. Which brings me to my final point, I dislike interlopers in country using it for easy sales, for easy.awards, Sheryl Crow, Lionel Richie and now Beyonce. No one should stay in their lane but it's always country and country welcomes them. So in summary, is Beyonce country? in this context. Will it be a hit? yes. Will it get airplay? Yes but at the expense of other more deserving artists.
  16. It's a large post that I have strong views on. So may give it some tomorrow as I am a few glasses in.
  17. I would put a drink on Mike gearing Sour Times or Glory Box. A pint, or a small wine.
  18. Sounds like the sort of thing someone who DID take the picture would say.
  19. Perhaps this is the wrong forum for that, there aren't really cheerleaders for Starmer on VT, more that people want the Conservative party out by any means necessary, that doesn't equate to "Starmergasm", if anything, yourself and Jareth are the ones that post most about him.

    I pass them twice a day on my school run. Hednesford.
  22. A few things about what I am about to say may ring some alarm bells. When I go to the barbers, for a haircut, which is every 3 weeks, I always tip the barber. He must think all of his Christmases come at once. I am technically bald, he just makes me feel even more balder.
