Modern cars have too many gadgets and goodies.
This morning in the Tesco car park I was reversing out of a parking spot and it insisted on showing me a video of a granny getting run over.

Depeche Mode passed me by completely. I was busy with kids and a lot of business trips abroad in the 1980s.
So, let me ask the musicologists here: what albums of theirs should I listen to?

I've just plowed through J.K. Rowling's latest Strike novel writing as Robert Galbraith.
The Hallmarked Man entangles several love stories and crimes, as before, I recommend it.
If you haven't read the Strike books, I recommend all of them, acknowledging that Rowling isn't the greatest person.

No clothes in Tesco Carmarthen except a small bargain rail.
I guess they're making room for Christmas.
After all, no-one needs clothes in the Autumn.

Once again, listening to one of my favourite tracks on my favourite album of all time.
The lyrics for the whole album are insanely good.
My favourite lines from this particular track (IYKYK):
"For want of the price
Of tea and a slice
The old man died"
