    Dedicated spur - any views?

    Which a snubber (aka RC contact suppressor) for less than £2 would do

    Rant alert! Smartphone-humans on the pavement.

    It does not really surprise me that you have no conception of where you are so stellarly ****ing up here. If a man tries to obstruct a woman like the way you just did some feminists nowadays would punch your lights out. Your action was disgusting. Men can be very threatening without even...

    Will all the streaming services go bust?

    Getting back to topic. I think Youtube is a great service for music. Main listening this week has not been through Tidal but Youtube, I flip flop but there has been a resurgence of PMVs*. The advantages are its a pretty good user interface, it alters its suggestions based on what you listen to...

    Rant alert! Smartphone-humans on the pavement.

    Well you do need to get out of the way because "yummy mummies" have babies in hilariously wide carts, so expecting women to move around you when you are a lot more mobile is a bit unreasonable. They have children to keep care of. You just have yourself. It's something that I noticed almost...

    BHS - no more.

    M&S is as bad quality wise as BHS but M&S cottoned onto motorway service stations to help it out... now it's selling plastic salad bowls at %600 markup. M&S is the IKEA of lingerie shopping. Lazy, propped up by poorly made products with a high markup and poor quality materials. Better to go to...

    Rant alert! Smartphone-humans on the pavement.

    Hi Paul, you are just a whiny man who thinks you have more rights than she does. Get over yourself. Better still get out of the way. ‘Manslamming’ is the term coined by New Yorker Beth Breslaw to describe the collision that occurs when a dickhead^h^h^h^h^h^h^h^h person refuses to alter their...

    Rant alert! Smartphone-humans on the pavement.

    No but you are a slave to your anger and sense of entitlement that a woman has to get out of your way when you can just as easily move instead. I have men expecting me to get out of their way when I walk to a door, along the street and so on now so I stand my ground and stare them down...

    BHS - no more.

    Glad it's gone. It was not a supportable store any more and people shopping there were really on their last legs. The clothing was nasty and had very little sense of style or coture. The high street is dead, its time people get used to this and then town planners can get back to converting...

    Muso Qube

    To be honest good design is far more important to me than sound quality... but the quality is good. I have no idea what has happened to Naim in the intervening decade and a half but was surprised no HiCap port (which is good, I am done with all that and ading power supplies is so unnecessary in...

    Who will Clinton pick as her potential VP

    Elizabeth Warren would be a good fit. Its more if she wants the job... Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton showed the relatively high calibre of political discourse in the nominees for candidate for the Democratic Prez compared to the Republicans who had Trump, Cruz, Bush, Carson, Kasich...

    Muso Qube

    Popped into John Lewis to get a jacket and had a listen to the Muso Cube and am getting one on trial to listen to at home. Wanting something for the kitchen and for our city abode and bedroom and so on. Definitely a HiFi product. Sound is excellent. Feels well made. Sound is solid and no nasty...

    Would A Basic Income Initiative Work In The UK?

    Ah yes... Schroedinger's Immigrant: The superpositon of simultaneously stealing your jobs while claiming unemployment benefits.

    Would A Basic Income Initiative Work In The UK?

    AI and robotics are already looking to replace a lot of jobs: an example is 60,000 jobs were handed over to robots at Foxconn in China, the makers of our lovely electronic toys (of all religions). This is not a bad thing, the conditions at these hi-tech factories are anything but humane: where...

    Would A Basic Income Initiative Work In The UK?

    UK NI number. Remove benefits system as well as most of HMRC as you say with top ups for disabled like DLA is now -- i.e. independent of benefits... offer tax credits for people who donate basic universal income -- and make it a requirement for NI, Healthcare Council Tax and Private Pension...
