@anon_opin Unless you’re on Blind Date when it’s all cool.

CEO is a title given to someone who is in charge of a large publicly listed company. Calling yourself a CEO when you're running some tiny operation or a one man band is just cringe.

@ShempMeister Fundamentally it’s not a Bond film, in line with his previous outings. The producers wanted to shut down Bourne but giving up the timeless romanticism (and yes narcissism) turned it into not-Bond.

Like most of Craig's Bond films, it's glitter covered dog shit. Looks great, but it doesn't disguise a poor movie. Second time in a row where there's no chemistry between the leads, the villain is terrible and the ending is easily the most disliked in Bond film history.

@AutoPap Im sure there’s plenty of good deals to be had, but perhaps not when barrelling up in that.

Still haven’t changed the tyres on my 911 but my god I hate the OEM Pirelli’s and driving the car at the moment. Are there any tyre dealers West of London on here that can do me a deal on Michelins and change them for me?

@jhendy_10 How much is your food gonna cost of your lowest paid worker earns a tenth of what the CEO does?

The solution is simple - pay the Tesco employee more than £14 an hour

@todd_jak And the same for footballers, right? No more than 10x the bar staff?

the 10:1 thing is funny because the lowest amount any CEO could be on is like £250,000 a year which yes is an obscene amount of money for anyone, so everyone should get a fucking grip about it as a policy

@todd_jak How much would you want to run Tesco?

@NME @MassiveAttackUK @tomwaits That’s one take. Another might be that the far left, which has a centuries old tradition of oppression of the people it purports to represent, has determined that fascism and populism present the best route to the authoritarianism that they want to impose.

"Across the western hemisphere, state authoritarianism and the militarisation of police forces are fusing again with neo-fascist politics" @MassiveAttackUK and @tomwaits meet “an atmosphere of chaos” on the powerful, politically-charged ‘Boots On The Ground’ nme.com/news/music/mas…

@GRDMCR_ @ClashMagazine The R&R Hall of Fame generally is awarded to a band line-up. It’s inconceivable that this nomination relates to any NO line up without Hooky. And definitely not a JD one without him!

@ClashMagazine He won't be at the ceremony, he's no longer in the band. He chose to leave. Not forcibly, but voluntarily. Every time NO/JD receive an accolade B,S,&G maintain a mature, dignified, non-combatant silence. Let's respect them for that.

"They can f*ck off!" It looks like New Order and Peter Hook won't be reconciling any time soon - clashmusic.com/news/they-can-…

@NoContextBrits Yes there is. It’s a neat trick … turn it on its side and cut into slices with a sharp knife. Yum yum.

There is no dignified way to eat one of these.

@RobGeorge Fighting with Radiohead for the least played record in my collection. Utter drone.

INXS is one of the most underrated rock groups ever. Remarkable album run 1982-1997. Michael Hutchence tragic loss.

@Indie5051 The problem with big lists is they are so easily distorted by small number of votes at the bottom and by people choosing the big (rather than good) bands at the top. And there are always glaring omissions that no-one thought of mentioning.

Las 50 mejores bandas de la historia según la revista Rolling Stone:

@consequence @peterhook Doesn’t matter whether he wants to or not, but thems the rules to appear, no?

Despite the existing animosity with his former bandmates, Peter Hook intends to participate in Joy Division/New Order’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction. “I have been looking forward to it for years, so I’m definitely going to make the most of it.” consequence.net/2026/04/peter-…

@ErinGrieve17 So how come you aren’t paying taxes? Surely you’re really keen to be making a contribution to the exchequer’s woes?

If I was paying taxes I’d be pretty happy for some of that to go towards children getting a slice of toast and an apple because their parents need to get to work before school starts. What a bizarre thing to be angry about.

@ceraliza It’s impractical to take your oven when you go skiing.

Why do we need an airfryer when an oven does the exact same thing.

@puckinghell_ You do know other bands are available? Even the next Noah Kayan …

one hundred great british pounds to sit at the very back of the O2, the literal last row, to see noah kahan - the music industry is so far past accessible it's officially dead

@ToeteKenxal The general absence of gender, however, is a definite plus.

The fact there is no plural for "you" in english is annoying

@CoKeynesian The level of change in banking and IT systems to “just knock a zero off” would keep me going in work for years.

The fact that a penny cannot be used to buy anything and is worth less than its copper content is proof that we need to do a redenomination of currencies, IMO. A 10-1 ratio (i.e. just knocking a zero off everything) would set us up for another century.

@nigelmp Long waits are not uncommon for non-residents in many countries - the US can be bad too. Fairly disappointing that a UK MP expects preferential treatment post-Brexit.

The EES exit/entry rollout is clearly a disaster leading to 4 hour queues and leading to planes leaving without passengers. I have been in lengthy queues to exit Athens recently and the queue was bordering on 2 hours long with staff pulling some passengers out of the queue to prevent them missing flights. Passengers are customers who will spend money on hotels, bars, restaurants and visitors attractions. The EU should look after their customers not treat them in such a cavalier way. Where there are huge queues they can temporarily suspend the scheme. They could bring in extra border staff as I have witnessed many booths unmanned in several EU airports. The recent debacle in Milan where over a hundred “customers” missed their planes was totally avoidable if only someone on a six figure salary would take control. This is not the fault of easyJet but intransigent systems. I came through uk passport control this week at Gatwick and the wait on e gates and manned gates was less than 1 minute. If we can do it- so can they ! The coming Summer holiday rush could be truly miserable !

Friends, stop drinking alcohol. Not cut back. Eliminate. > alcohol increases cortisol > disrupts REM sleep > accelerates epigenetic aging > shrinks hippocampal volume > elevates resting heart rate > raises inflammatory markers > impairs glucose metabolism for 16 hrs One drink does that.

@davidjohn73_ @salfordladsclub I used to cycle out there from town to college back in ‘84/85. I could probably still remember the route as it was. Completely different now of course.

@davidjohn73_ @salfordladsclub That was a grim windswept place, back in the day.
