@Samatyorkshire @modernheroestv You have a Nakamichi? Is it a Dragon?! I salute you anyway, Sir!

@Robsa5 @modernheroestv Yep, a good chrome or metal tape on either my nakamichi or technics deck can sound good

People can’t possibly be nostalgic for cassettes, right? Right?

@Tom_D_B_ Didn't he do some creepy, weird stuff to Natalie Portman?

If Moby wants to talk about “gross”, he could perhaps revisit those interviews he gave back in the day about how he used to get his knob out at parties and see if he could touch people with it without them noticing. Grim little creep.

@RodneyMarshall1 There was a great 'Minder' game on the ZX Spectrum which I used to love, buying dodgy videos and computers and such.

Arthur's latest venture - Daley Videos. A potential goldmine, or a recipe for disaster? Simply add a big time gangster (Ian McShane on fine form as Jack Last), a missing tape, stir in the police and wait... #MinderMonday

@TedWelford I absolutely love them! Understated V12 Grand Tourer, yum!

Might not be the most desirable of Ferraris but you don’t see many Prancing Horses street parked in the town where I live. Manual too! Ageing like a fine wine in my opinion

@LesPurves Depends; on cassette - Never Mind The Bollocks (so I could hide it from my dad better), vinyl was The Great Rock N Roll swindle in 1979.

First album I ever owned. The Police – Reggatta de Blanc 8 years old… and already hooked. That sound stayed with me. What was yours? 👇 #VinylCommunity #FirstRecord #ThePolice #ClassicRock #NowSpinning #RecordCollector

@Timoldland "Hollywood tan nappa over cervix"

Hey that’s a nice Rolls Spec…..HOLY LIVING FUCK WHAT IS THAT INTERIOR?!?!

@AutoPap My BEV is a company car. I put 23k on it last year and every business trip in it I actually made money for the first time ever. Tell me that doesn’t make sense! And it’s really comfy and easy to do long mileages in.

If it’s just a matter of transport, I think owning an EV now makes more sense than ever. Especially when it costs me approx £1.20 to charge for my week’s driving.

@lee0969 @jillwebb2005 @nikidoog @Carolyn_on_X @FatOldAnarchist Yep, basically impossible Lee. But as it’s you, just for today, I will go for One Better Day.

On this day in 1992 No 1 UK Album Chart Madness “Divine Madness” This one could be the hardest album we have ever voted on..it’s almost impossible to pick but I’ll choose “Embarrassment” how about you? #1990s #Madness @jillwebb2005 @nikidoog @Carolyn_on_x @FatOldAnarchist @brunstead @SkaManD14

@lee0969 @jillwebb2005 @nikidoog @Carolyn_on_X @FatOldAnarchist @brunstead @SkamanD14 I quite like it. The eponymous opener is a great track, and I will of course pick ‘dance away’ Lee! 🙂

On this day in 1979 No 9 UK Album Chart Roxy Music “Manifesto” This one didn’t get great reviews at the time but listen again it’s a classic. I’ll choose “Angel Eyes” how about you? #1970s #RoxyMusic @jillwebb2005 @nikidoog @Carolyn_on_x @FatOldAnarchist @brunstead @SkaManD14

@TimSmith2021 @YusufCatStevens Outstanding album, not a bad track on it.

What a superb album this is!! With songs like 'Where Do The Children Play?', 'Hard Headed Woman', 'Wild World' & 'Father & Son', it’s an all-time classic!! On the turntable Tea for the Tillerman #CatStevens @YusufCatStevens

@XMartinsMusicX I'd still like Debbie even if she spent her weekends drowning puppies in a bucket ❤️

you liking Debbie as a brunette? 🤔 Blondie - The Hardest Part (1979) ▶️

@AaronAmarok Not the easiest thing ever is it? For instance, curling one out is easier. And they are not fun on the M25 in a three hour traffic jam I can assure you. Especially in an old Transit van with a heavy clutch.

I always found it so funny how more and more people think manuals are this unforgiving task that suits only the strongest most talented drivers when in reality its the easiest thing ever

@AutoPap 55 here and I like it! But my taste has always been a little odd. Or 'avant-garde' as I like to call it. 😄

Anyone who's my age will probably look at this and wince. However we're not the demographic BMW are appealing to anymore. Do the younger people on here like it?

@Hot_Pepper76 Again, I'm a Brit, so yes.

"Pump It Up" (1978) became one of this artist's signature songs. Do you know who this is?x.com/calmalgodown/s…

@Timoldland Don't think it's a coincidence that it all started when we lost Bowie....

Well that’s it then. The world is clearly fucked.

@XMartinsMusicX Both fantastic, but I love closer because of Decades, which is such a crushing track.

Unknown Pleasures or Closer? 🤔

@LeoKearse This has been the case with the Civil Service ever since Roman times - I know, because I read about it in Asterix. Hard to know how to fix it really.

Having worked in the public sector, I can confirm it operates as a mafia. A giant holding pen for mediocre people with mediocre degrees to wear suits and create work for each other so they can steal an ever larger chunk of taxpayers' hard-earned money. Of course they spent £180 million deciding not to build a road tunnel. When I worked in public sector management consultancy, we were tasked with finding efficiencies in the IT department of a large government agency. One man we spoke to had two laptops on his desk. He said one was for forex trading and the other one was to monitor his chicken farm in Ghana. There was no shame as he told us this, no realisation that he was actually being employed to do a job that didn't involve forex trading or managing a chicken farm in Ghana. We were struck by the number of people sitting around doing nothing, even for a public sector organisation. Then we discovered that the man running the IT department also owned an IT recruitment consultancy. Every man he hired into this IT department from his recruitment consultancy put money in his own pocket. So there was a huge incentive for him to just hire as many men as possible to get as rich as possible. Never mind being prosecuted over this - I don't think he actually lost his job. And there's an incentive in the rest of the public sector to hire as many people as possible because the more people you manage, the more important you are, the bigger budget you get, and the greater your salary. (On the plus side, as a management consultant, finding efficiencies in the public sector is a piece of piss.) When you hear about public sector investment, this is money taken from the real economy and given to people to produce very little. This isn't "investment" any more than a bank "invests" in bank robbers. It's not done to make a profit. It holds the real economy back, not just in terms of the tax burden, but also in the huge numbers of workers tied up in this false, public sector Potemkin economy. Those workers should be in the real economy producing something of value. Britain could be a paradise. We could all be rich. There's no need for mass immigration. The workers we need are already here doing nothing, on benefits or in the public sector. We just need to fire everyone in the public sector and scrap all benefits.
