Spotless inside, as I don't do that many miles and never eat in the car, but outside, its a bit mucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My neighbour is a guaranteed once a week cleaner. I can almost see him looking at mine in disgust. When my car was new he actually told me I had to keep it clean for 6 months because that was the rule for new cars. I didn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courtney Barnett, Pond, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard and a good few more besides. The Australian music scene is not 25 years behind us, it is very much of the moment Definitely. On a slightly smug personally pleasing level it’s kind of nice to see what’s happened. My timeline goes like this: I was driving along a Queensland highway in 2013 and this song came on the radio station (Triple J) the car radio was tuned to by whoever had it previously. A clever song about gardening in a heatwave. Cue mental note to remember the name. Without any hi fi gear with me I later bought it on download as an album, and then forgot about it for a bit. Then (I think) @dAVe80 mentioned it in a music thread. Not remembering I’d already bought it, I bought the CD (back in the UK) and listened to it loads. Then “Sometimes I Sit…” came out and got played on Uk and US radio and she took off big time. And that opened up a path, I reckon. I discovered Julia Jacklin from an Austin100 download NPR gave away - download this zip of 100 new artists playing at whatever year it was SxSW. Her track popped up and blew me away. Bought the album on pre-order just on that chance find. Another chance find or two came from a free album I got sent over a mixed up T shirt order Both Jen Cloher and East Brunswick All Girls Choir in 2015 or 14 or 16, Luluc are another one I found through Podcasts, but the point really is that I reckon it was Courtney Barnett that opened up the pathway and probably through that catchy, slacky, “Avant Gardener” tune. I guess King Gizzard did it through Glastonbury, maybe? Whichever, there’s loads of great stuff from Aussie acts at the moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Albrighton Posted May 21, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted May 21, 2021 Didn’t realise there was such a thing as a premier league hall of fame until that post. It is an odd thing, like he didn’t have opportunity to be rewarded during his career or that he’s not acknowledged enough as a great player after the fact, a hall of fame is required. Just been looking at pictures of the Walhalla in Bavaria. That’s a pretty impressive sight. The entrance to the neo-classical structure being visible from the Danube. I’ve just visited the equally prestigious premier league hall of fame (presented by Budweiser) and the first thing visible on that entrance is a big **** off advert for Nike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 It's new, started about a month ago, they're putting 50 players in I think, no giggs and maybe 2 or 3 players that weren't from the favourite 6, le tissier, shearer etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as a technicality, you always knew when the flavour mix was on the way out with Chocolate and Strawberry when you see the white basic mix in a shake you have just poured, but it's not so visually obvious when the vanilla was running out so you could often pour a fairly flavourless shake without noticing.

Popular Post Spoony Posted May 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 27, 2021 You’re all wrong. It is always overcooked horrible cheesy mush. You get a lot of that Kraft shit here in the Caribbean which everyone loves but it’s actually completely awful in every conceivable way. And then it’s popping up in fancy restaurants and it’s not as good as any other side and isn’t as good as it’s separate component parts. I bloody love pasta but Mac ‘n cheese is garbage. If you disagree, you’re wrong. Fight me. incidentally if you’re adding mushrooms and bacon and mozzarella and Parmesan and somesuch, that’s no longer Mac n’ cheese in my opinion (which as we have established is the correct opinion) and falls into the more legit pasta category. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
