Anyone use this? I am just confused by trying to hire a bike in the sense that I have paid for pre-paid access but when I came to hire it there was only one option ie hire the bike for £2, which I had already pre paid..... Anyone know wtf I am supposed to do to avail myself of this facility?

I have just bought a turntable from Germany and it came with a 2 prong plug. How do I rewire it (which would be to an IEC plug to slot into my regenerator) ie which is live and which is neutral (I have read that it doesn't matter) and what about earth wire, is there one? I haven't cut into it...

the off topic discussions on here are not serious enough. what is most important is if there are any socks in the universe that won't get a hole in the big toe region after about 5 wearings (i am not sure if the word wearings exists but if it doesn't it should. apologies to all grammer purists...

if David Irving thinks you are doing a good job, i think you must be doing something wrong... https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/jan/15/david-irving-youtube-inspiring-holocaust-deniers

i seem to recall either barney or hookey say that joy division would have gone in the same musical direction. it's not too much of a stretch when you think about it, jd were involved in electronics (barney made the synthesisers from kits i think) and interesting rhythms.

jim kerr said that he thought the best album was the previous set. having done a bit of a musical journey over the past 30 years from where i started liking sm (which was 'once upon a time') which takes in alt rock/proper indie i have come to the conclusion that 'real to real cacophony'...

on radio 2, a one hour doc on NGD http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07lxm1r they churlishly don't mention derek forbes who was a massive part of what made them so interesting, though he was referred to as 'our bassist' once.

if you get a decent mobile phone signal you can use a mobile 4g dongle - i used one for 6 months when virgin media pissed me off. don't know what speeds you would get but i could stream stuff without problems.

was just thinking about my peel tape recordings the other day. i was looking up jane weaver on wikipedia and it said that she was in a band called kill laura. ah, i thought, i recorded them off his show. quick browse of youtube turned up this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJE4GhiePXQ...

i listened to the second propaganda album a couple of days ago, i remembered it had one good track on it (ministry of fear). what i hadn't recalled was how shite the rest of it was, i was embarrassed listening to it in front of the cat.

i bought a copy of the strokes 'is this it' which was very dish like - i put it between two clean pieces of glass sheet and left it in the oven at work on a low heat. can't remember exact details ie temperature and duration (i think i read it on these pages. if not google it). anyhow, it...

I have been vacillating recently about my htpc. At the moment I have an Asus M4A78-htpc with Athlon ii .x250 processor and 1.7 gb ram running xp, so pretty old. I don't really use it for games or if I do it is stuff that isn't requiring fabulous graphics (Portal) but I fancy something...

exactly, mark king may be a great bass player but i don't want to listen to all that ****y biddly biddly 3 million notes a second crap, give me one of hookey's basslines any day

bit harsh. teenagers (and older) muck about. i remember going round a friends house and we were kicking a small football round his front room and knocked his mums ashes off the mantelpiece. we weren't dissing his mum.

exactly. it is why i haven't bought it yet. on a wider note i think that most bands achieve everything they are going to on their first album and then they should give up and go and work in a fish packaging factory. mine may be a minority view though.
