Put together over the last couple of years trying for a coherent mix of mainly recent stuff, then I got lazy and was dropping in older grab tracks as well. Anyway, have a rummage. https://tidal.com/playlist/5bc52f77-25c2-40cc-b391-0e91d9d616b1

There was once a free plastic single by Tom Waits on the front of NME, being a 7 incher we played it at 45rmp when it should have been 33, he sounded just like Bruce Springsteen. Do the reverse with Bruce Springsteen and he becomes TW. They've never appeared together, just sayin.

I was 7 at the time, and had conflicting memories of the landing, one was us driving from Scotland to my Grandparents in Sussex and fretting we might miss the landing which was around 10-11pm, we made it with around 20 minutes to spare. The second memory was being woken in the night to come down...

My running, grab a few odds and sods playlist. https://tidal.com/browse/playlist/ca2b3431-53df-4be7-8d3d-db787c7b6d3e

I think the Nesspreso pods are actually aluminium and all the third party ones I used were plastic and were more faffy to use. I now have a DeLonghi and grinder. The coffee is I think better than the pods, and much cheaper, I buy 2.5kg bags of beans from the Algerian coffee shop in Soho London...

I have the Olympus as well but sold the multifunction grip which came with my camera. I prefer the camera to be as small and light as I can get them really. Interestingly the GTX is not too much bigger or heavier than my Canon 5d.

Just for clarity, when using the LV or EV, it blacks out while writing to card, but you can still shoot in bursts should you wish to, you just lose visuals while it writes.

If it's a really good price then as has been said, you should be able to bail out after six months if it's not your thing. Really there's no substitute to living with a camera for a few months to see if you take to it or not. one word of warning though, I was in Richard Caplan, a Leica dealer in...

That looks like a nice selection, I loved his bass playing with Magazine and have three or four of his solo albums, probably the best being Oedipus Schmoedipus, but that looks like a decent punt.

Last word (a short obituary of public figures who have recently passed away) is consistently good. I download five or six programmes on the iPlayer for long car journeys. Comedy recommendations, The unbelievable truth, Stop/start, Claire in the community, and the Boosh.

Would it still be Spotify you would be streaming? I have the 272, and a Cdx and Spotify is ok for exploring but not close to CD quality or something I’d want to listen to other than as background. I pay the extra £10 for Tidal which is very convincing, in A to B testing it doesn’t quite have...

So specifically what is the problem as you see it. If it’s wildlife or environmental damage, and if so what are the tourists doing that’s causing it?

I'm just curious and not arguing here, but what is it specifically that you think is doing the damage and what kind of damage is it. I live in Glasgow and increasingly friends from Edinburgh and Glasgow are bemoaning tourism in rural Scotland, but surely the erosion and possible disturbance to...

I once had one with a Tom Waits track that we accidentally played at 45. At that speed he becomes Bruce Springsteen. Likewise slow down BS....Tom Waits. Strangely they’ve never shared a stage.

Oh and it’s a mid range model, healthy whitening or some such. £52 on Amazon.
