Things destined for the Sale Section in Spring - Number 364

Great record, but £28 for a 12” Pic Disc - plus £5 P&P….

I did spin round like a record when I saw the price. Holy Moly!!

It’s not pointing towards (C)anal (S)treet is it?

I’m so pleased it’s still relatively sane here.

Facebook is now rammed with AI Click Bate videos.

Zuckerberg has now turned Threads into a MAGA, Right Wing, Reform, propaganda machine

Let’s keep it sane here🤞

Ah no, it’s bollocks.

They gave us free movies for 18 months. I expect we watch one a month

We’re so desperate, we’re rewatching Mad Men on Netflix

Too much content now - Inc a lot of shite - spread all too thinly across too many providers

There’s a some consolidation due fairly soon. None are making money & are saddled with debt. Except Sky

I’ve not heard about this. What are offering for free? Streaming?

No no no!! So sorry to hear this. Thou we never met , Vince and I shared taste in music & sense of humour.

We kept touch over his treatment & beyond.

I’m genuinely devastated
