Sounds like *someone* was promising something that wasn't true.

It's really all they've got now: as Brexit turns to shit, as America turns into a backwards pariah state, as the world burns, all the right wing loons can do is to claim that the non-loon people who now can fairly say "Well, we did try telling you" contributed to or even caused all these catastrophes.

The Government banned controlled burning of heathland last year.
Against all sensible advice (eg Fire chiefs and others).

If they make a successful asylum claim, they can then move on to mainland Spain. Think of it as a processing centre.

Streakers are no longer in the public consciousness. A sad day for generally silly British humour.

I had a similar discussion with my teenage son. He didn’t know what it was to moon someone. When I explained he was disgusted and didn’t understand how it was ever deemed to be funny. I was definitely pulling mooney at the age of 14.

Rega Planar 2. For which I recently bought a new cartridge and have started listening to vinyl again.
I was well impressed with the two guys in the hifi shop, one of whom may have been the same age as my turntable while the other was less than half its age. They knew that my turntable would have the original non-rega arm and found an appropriate cartridge for it.

I have the original model of the Planar 3 with the mains motor. Currently have 2 Rega arms R200 and RB250 ( with upgraded tungsten counterweight) , both of which don't work correctly . The R200 anti skate belt has snapped the RB250 has an earth hum from hell.

Probably get you on the register now.

The one I have is the R200, which were made by Acos. The new Ortophon cartridge I fitted this year needs more anti-skate but the belt, like yours, has perished and appear to be a nightmare to replace. I did investigate some of the more ingenious bodges on the interweb but decided to live with it for now.

Are their brains completely cooked? Isn't talking about your children's soccer games what children expect/need their parents to do? You know... show an interest, and help build a human brain?

Turn out was no more than 25% this mayoral election, well down on the last few elections

Yeah, as noted, it's not a ringing endorsement of mayoralties. Bristol got rid of theirs.

It does appear that Spain is discovering what many CCNCAP forumites don't want to hear - that too much unplanned immigration can have negative consequences. Unfortunately this is looking like a taste of things to come.

They will now be worried about all the British people swimming to Spain from Gibraltar.

Italy are concerned enough about these events to suspend the free movement of people arrangements with Spain.

My Ortofon plays fine with the broken belt but my Goldring skips , but plays fine on the RB250 ( bar the hum )
