Don't know about Newcastle buses but in Gateshead there are no middle doors so you have to pass the driver.

That's what charity shops are for. Surely?

Does Protection by Massive Attack count because you hear the sound of rain at the end? If not, The Eurythmics.

Maybe it's actually Tatooine

It looks like a UFO.

Yeah, I heard it for the first time on Race Across the World on Thursday, though it didn't take me long to work out what it means. Your post confirms what I thought.

Same but in 1998!

Heard the Miley Cyrus and David Byrne collaboration today, it's surprising and in a good way! Finding pop music amazing right now.

Yep, shame most were going down...

Yep, I know career progression is tricky in some sectors.

Most of the Italians I know, like Marie has observed, have stayed. But the two who did had pre- school kids and returned because family could help with childcare plus lower house prices.

Not so Golden Brown: DJ plays 24-hours of No 2s in Lake District sewage protest Radio host uses chart songs that didn’t quite make top spot to highlight issue of Windermere pollution

Nicely done, Patrick Barkham, nicely done. This DJ is really sticking up for the Common People. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

We know a family where one parent is French and one is English. 2 UK born kids both have done Saturday classes in French to get them to a point where they could easily switch to the French system if they relocate. English parent has done similar. No immediate plans to go though.

Really loved Bonny and Billy in S1 was gutted how they had to drop out. The Ted Lasso guy and his cousin had an amazing final leg and were unlucky not to win.

And here was me thinking it was in Mile End.

Where is this? It looks like the kind of scene you see in an Advert.

That's something. Hope you are ok otherwise.

Did you try one of the deep fried ones?

Almost as good as the Elastica split. A row over Missy Elliott, I think?

This is a great question!

I did wonder whether adding two members was forced on them by the management but sounds like it came from Shaznay and Mel themselves. The All Saints song everyone forgets about was Black Coffee, which I think is their best. They really did quit on a high (first time round anyway).

I thought that too. With Romance it's less surprising as there is a gender aspect too.

Interesting the big Labour lead over reform with Sports book fans.

Thanks for sharing. I think a lot of people were wondering, including me.

That's awful. I was old enough to remember that it was a hard time.

One of the interesting things I learned from the Girlband Forever doc was that UK interest rates went up twice in one day back in 1992. Also had no idea about All Saints early days as a threesome.

Thanks Chris! Some helpful replies there.
