    Major Complaints Thread

    I wasn't charged EU VAT duty on the last three small things I got from UK in last few months. A funny one was ordering an American double LP (Nervous Gender 1982 reissue) on Discogs from Holland it was about 31 Euro plus cheap postage. The business had another shop in California or something...

    This is where we talk about our favourite R.E.M. albums

    I inherited a tape of the first R.E.M. album off a friend. Radio Free Europe is a good song but the others are like if you heard 5 or 10 seconds of each tune they would sound good but they're unremarkable songs. Not a patch on Dream Syndicate, Pylon, The Embarrassment, Feelies, 100 Flowers or...

    What gig did you go to last night?

    Never go to the likes of Brujeria or Cattle Decapitation and bands on labels like Relapse, Metal Blade etc. They're just now raw or noisy enough for me. I only like noisy underground stuff with short songs as far as that goes.

    What gig did you go to last night?

    ...things - so it could well be a company policy. When I was charged EU duty twice a year ago I just paid An Post and tried to sort it out later on*. So all correspondence was done by email. They said the UK Discogs seller didn't have a registered EU VAT number and they never got the money. It...

    People Who Died

    Kevin Campbell had sepsis. I think Kevin was the youngest in a big family - 10, I think. Kevin's son Tyrese was a longtime player for Stoke until recently. Everyone from Ian Wright, Paul Merson, Wayne Rooney and fellow Lambeth lad Clinton Morrison paying tribute...

    People Who Died

    Really sad football news. Kevin Campbell has died aged 54 after a short illness. He was a regular on Sky Sports until the last few months. Lovely lad who I always liked listening too. The Sky Sports News folks are devastated at the moment. Striker (winger sometimes for Arsenal) Kev broke into...

    Tour de France 2007 thread

    Feck it! I knew this was coming up and I missed it. Raphael Geminiani was 99 years old last Wednesday 12th June. Also missed 4th June 40th anniversary of Martin Ramirez becoming the first Colombian to win a stage race in Europe. Ramirez took the lead in awful weather after a vain glorious...

    Tour de France 2007 thread

    Bernard Gavillet (1960 - 13 June 2024) A name I knew from looking at 80's grand tour results. Gavillet like most Suisse riders in early 80's rode with Cilo-Aufina in their lovely red, grey and white kit on Suisse Cilo bikes. After serving the likes of Beat Breu, Gavillet later rode for System U...

    It is farcical that you can be asked to pay for something twice. It shouldn't be possible. The system isn't fit for purpose and sooner or later it will happen to everyone who buys through mail from UK and ROW. It's happened to me. This must be about the mark of Ombudsman stuff. The guy who...

    I have the horn for...

    The third goal in the 0-3 defeat v Sweden in Tallaght was McCabe's fault for giving the ball away. Ireland got slaughtered down the left side of defence and we were badly missing Denise O'Sullivan the brains of midfield. No goals in last six games shows why Vera Pauw played defensively - to the...

    Always liked Scotland. Hopefully there aren't too many Rangers players in the squad. If one of 'em scored against Germany it would like shouting: "G'WAN MCCOIST!" I could do without any football for a while. Would rather do something else.

    I prefer bringing in migrants. I had to laugh at that guy, he is like satire comedy. He should just admit he is a racist loser.
