- discussion topic Are first impressions everything when listening to a score?
- Comment I'm not as patient as I used to be. Now that we have Spotify and Youtube, you can 'check out' a score to see if it's worth buying. But, even still, it's not the same as it used to be. I don't really buy CDs anymore but I miss that era so much. I can remember ordering CDs and they would be ...

- Comment [quote][b]Thor wrote[/b] [b]NP: WINDOWS IN THE JUNGLE (10CC)[/b] This 1983 album is the latest one I own of 10CC (I own 8 in total), and it's obviously not on par with their earlier albums. But it's still Godley/Creme goodness without that actual dynamic duo, IMO.[/quote] I like this post.

- Comment Neither am I, to be honest. It's too precise. Baking is too much of a science.... regular cooking is more an art. I like cooking by eye and taste. While I have loads of cookery books for inspiration, you'll never find me cooking to a recipe (unless it's something that I have written down myself... ...

- Comment The UK version is still way less flashy than its US counterpart, though like most competition shows, it does get a little grating. Great British Bake-Off is probably the only cooking show here that shuns spectacle. I do like Great British Menu too. It’s quick paced and hugely competitive but ...

He drank a pint with friends in ‘The Mulberry Bush’ bar around an hour before it was bombed by the IRA (and the second bomb that destroyed ‘The Tavern In The Town’ pub minutes ...

Every plane crash (whether intentionally caused or not) is a fucking grim and horrible turn of events but those of Lockerbie '88 I've always found particularly disturbing and, while I wasn't even born until after, everything I've learned about it (a ...

Back in Summer 2014, my girlfriend (of the time) and I were doing a bit of travelling through Europe and finished up in Amsterdam. We decided to take another couple weeks out and ...
