One of the big things about Synology is that you get the big system updates when they’re available. When I bought my first one nearly 10 years ago, the OS would only support a maximum HD size of 2TB. By the time I […]

Despite the very cautious roadmap, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel that I don’t think we’re being over optimistic in aiming for. It also gives a bit of clarity as to what there’s no chance of doing yet so […]

Thanks.. she seems as well as can be expected…i may even be able to go and visit her in March!
I think you’re right about the way they count the deaths but I’d like to know what percentage would likely have […] -

I’m not sure what the comparative figures are but at some stage, especially at this time of year it would be good to know how many people are dying of covid as opposed to with covid. eg. My 92 year old mother […]

That only stands up to scrutiny when vaccines are near to 100% effective. We can’t can’t surely have a situation where the vulnerable are vaccinated but then go abroad and bring back a strain that the vaccine is […]

To be fair to the contestants, they almost got one of the OMD titles and they did come up with “Return of the Synth” for one of the one’s they made up!

If this was day one, I’d agree but while I appreciate all countries are different, there are some obvious examples of governments that have dealt with things better than our own. The reason our government still […]

It’s very easy to forget about people that are more silently suffering. Both my wife and I have been in full time work (often doing overtime as well) working at home in a very controlled environment so have only […]

Looks like my 1st Jab will be at the start of April (just 7 million in the queue in front of me!) but I think 4 to 6 months is a reasoably optimistic view and one I share. While I’m not actually making any plans […]

Of course anyone who read a music paper in the mid seventies will know that Ron & Russell Mael’s mother was Doris Day!

I had a similar thought. It sounds (and looks) like the first run through. A bit more rehearsal and it’ll be fine but she seems to suck all the energy out of the song.

It may be an indicator of how long this forum ( and it’s predecessors) has been going that I’m sure we had a “what’s never been released on CD discussion” a few years back.

When I got used to the first couple of Ramones albums I sometimes just wanted them faster so I played a few tracks at 45 to get my fix.

When we bought our first Sonos units back in 2010, the 65K limit on tracks was certainly shown on their website (although it might have been via the forums).
One of the main reasons that there are now two […] -

I think they were hard work at the time but having gone back to them, they ‘make sense’. I don’t think they’re career highlights but I think it’s harsh to suggest they’re dodgy. two of the ’21 albums in 21 nights’ […]

I can’t wait to see it. They wouldn’t sell tickets to non-US residents for the premiere which was a pity.
…..but what slightly dodgy 80’s period? Have you gone back to the 80s albums recently? -

There’s a fabulous album by T Tex Edwards called ‘Pardon Me, I’ve Got Someone To Kill’ which is all death songs.
Other favourites of mine include ‘Marie Provost’ by Nick Lowe (“She was a winner that became a […] -

I’ve been to 32 now but some of those were 30 years ago so they’re already overdue a revisit. I’d dearly love to visit Nebraska after seeing Aerial America but without a helicopter, there would be some very long […]

1. Optimism costs nothing.
2. Aerial America is great isn’t it? I started watching early in 2020 and I have about 7 episodes to go now. When I saw the first few (pre-lockdown) I was conflicted about which states […] - Load More
