They aren't selfies. It's art. Sharp Focus Modernism at its nadir.Rich, when you were cycling round taking the two finger selfies, did a kid point and cry “mum, that’s my mountain bike!”.

When I make my first mil, I'm getting these. And then I'll be talking shite in audio too, with some braying and gloating added to the mix. https://www.adam-audio.com/en/s-series/s5v/This is true of many here. pfm seems very different to the conventional audio forum in that each room is in many ways its own ecosystem. Some folk live almost exclusively in either the music room, photo, diy, classic or wherever, and some only seem interested in the political threads here in off topic. I have no real objection to that at all, though feel I better understand a person’s perspective if I also understand their musical taste, attitude to audio etc too. I am on occasion a little suspicious when people post some pretty extreme political views without any apparent interest in the rest of the site, but I don’t think that is the case in this case.
FWIW I’ve always steered clear from banning political discussion outright the way so many audio and music forums do even though I am certain running it actually puts a lot of people off joining. I’ve always viewed music as being inherently political, e.g. it is impossible to consider blues, jazz, folk, punk, reggae etc without their political background as protest music, and you can pull a lot of classical into that too (e.g. Shostakovich etc). That needs to be open for discussion.
I find the dynamic in this room quite interesting as I don’t really understand how we got to where we are! It just strikes me as a little odd given politics is far from the site’s primary focus. I guess politics is in such a hopeless mess and so polarised at present it is just a mirror to what is happening.
Should you not have added the caveat “ warning: may contain items of a German nature”. They look great BTW. Price? Just looked £5k not bad... but that’s for one.When I make my first mil, I'm getting these.

yes 5k is for one. 10k for 2. Or possibly 20 after 2019.Should you not have added the caveat “ warning: may contain items of a German nature”. They look great BTW. Price? Just looked £5k not bad... but that’s for one.
If Corbyn is PM, the policy of the UK will be a blinded support of the Palestinians, maybe even support of terror organizations like the Hamas and the Hezbollah and support of the BDS.

And I think that if Iran stops giving weapon to Hamas and Hezbollah, Israel would not have a lot to do with the American weapon.I rather doubt that, but Corbyn certainly won't allow Israel to continue with its illegal activities without comment, as the current UK and US administrations do.
Of course, the elephant in the room here, which nobody has addressed, is the political, economic and military support Israel receives from the US. Without that, I suspect that Israel would be obliged to be rather more circumspect in its dealings with the rest of the World.

I often muse on what our small cadre of right wingers and brexiteers actually listen to...
...and that is no surprise. Music is deeply political. Certainly most of mine is: Dylan, Young, CSN, Pistols, Clash, Fall, Marley, Van, REM, Waits and a lot more. Over 90% of the stuff I listen to comes from a liberal, left leaning and humanist perspective on life. I often muse on what our small cadre of right wingers and brexiteers actually listen to...and, incidentally that is probably why there are so few of them and some are just trolling for a laugh.
I believe Gary Barlow is a member of the congregation.Morrissey?

And yet ... when I was a lad, the music of choice for skinheads was ska, reggae, Tamla and soul. Their taste in music was unaffected by their racist views.
The Dead, The Airplane, Dylan, Jackie Leven, R.E.M., The Clash, Television, Miles Davis, The Byrds, Randy Newman, The Fall, HMHB, Weather Report, and a shitload more....and that is no surprise.

You can have Oasis, a pastiche, ad nauseam re-working of The Beatles- Revolution with random rhymes.Oasis, Stone Roses, Verve, lad indie etc.
Don't pass the hot potato to me. I can't stand them.You can have Oasis, a pastiche, ad nauseam re-working of Beatles- Revolution with random rhymes.
