You can scan barcodes into ebay and then click the Completed Items box. The prices in green are sold. That’s an indication of what people are willing to pay. It’s also useful for seeing how often it sells.

I agree and they have an offer at the moment, £50 for a year.

Captain Sensible did a version of that ( he may even have written it). At the time, 1978, it must have been a contender for the most overtly gay record ever.

We have to pay the licence fee whether we watch BBC or not. If anyone wants to watch it or listen to it for free, I say good luck to them.

I guess if you buy olive oil from a chemist then it will be pure olive oil. There are brands readily available in supermarkets which are blends, but they don’t tell you that. The nurse’s advice was sensible.

Olive oil ot of the cupboard worked fine for me

It’s a problem that I have from time and removing it makes a huge difference. You have to put olive oil in the ear twice a day for at least a week to soften it for removal. I did discover when housebound during […]

I believe that Burnham has said that he will not introduce PR in this parliament. With those figures, how many Labour MPs would want it anyway? Even if they managed to get 33% at the next election, that’s half o […]

The Tory vote collapsed from 13.9 million in 2019 to 6.8 million in 2024. That’s a drop of 7.1 million who could have voted Labour, but Labour’s vote also dropped. His achievement was entirely due to an ele […]

They could fine or jail executives for breaches. I’m confident that the same would significantly reduce instances of water companies polluting our rivers.

When looking for something to watch earlier this week, I was pleased to discover that MUBI has added French director Louis Malle’s 1958 debut “Lift To The Gallows” (Ascender pour l’echafaud) to their catalog […]

This thread inspired me to pull out my copy of their first album If Deejay Was Your Trade. It starts with this absolute banger and the quality doesn’t let up. The LP cost £8.49 back in 1994.

The 4 part interview that KFD posted is equally as interesting. Your wallet will likely be lighter after listening.

I’m surprised how little traction the news of his death has got in the media. I will add that book to my wants list.

Here’s a nice tribute from Pete Paphides:

This is sad news. Of many excellent reggae reissue labels, Blood and Fire was one of the best. He achieved his aim of presenting reggae as attractively as the best Jazz labels. His Rough Guide reggae books were […]

Incredible drumming on that album.

Miles is Composer of the Week on Radio 3 this week. John Coltrane is also 100 this year. That milestone isn’t getting anything like the coverage Miles’ birthday has. I hope that changes. I don’t have a […]

I wonder how many Boro players have had to be called back from holidays abroad? It’s not ideal at this level. While Southampton have rightly been punished, it seems to me that the individuals responsible for […]

I wonder how many times a fraudster can get away with this? Presumably it’s only worth doing on expensive items.
