The all-new shiny cockpunch thread (Part 1)

My mother got hers via a GP referral to the NHS provider (part of the NHS not some privateer). My mother got bespoke ear moulds made. The test was superb and the aids likewise. Each ear has a prescription and the aids are tuned to each. The man who fitted them was probably a fair way along the spectrum about setting the aids up (just what you want actually). The guy spent ages fetttling them. A superb service and free at the point of delivery. I am not sure what more a £3k pair from hearingaids r us would offer that these don’t.

From what I have heard, track on Wellesley Road is damaged. Oops… :person_facepalming:

Don’t think he’s worth that much ? Don’t go.

Much as I’m a huge Dave Gilmour fanboi, I’m reluctant to pay those prices and won’t be going. But I’m not bitchin’ and moaning about it.

It’s all been hashed over time and time again. Remember when Robert Plant wouldn’t play with the remaining guys from Zep, and “how badly he let his fans down” ?

Give me a fuckin’ break !

I think I’d swallow the £250 to go see Gilmore. Pink Floyd are one of my all time favourite bands, and that’s the closest I’ll get to seeing them. There are also far too many artists I like who no longer tour, and I’d rather not have all my heroes stop before I get to see them.

Not a big enough yacht. Also due a conversation tomorrow for a temp crew chef role on a yacht that would be big enough (123m)

Oops!

I guess, for me, it’s the ancillary costs i.e. hotel, transport, etc.
Plus, I no longer enjoy crowds, queuing, and basically I’m a misanthrope and content with that.

Reality is, if it’s not at The New Theatre Oxford, I’m not interested.

Haha, you and me both. Hard to believe back in the day I used to sleep rough outside venues waiting for the ticket booths to open

Bus Station Controller.

I needed to have a piss. I had parked in the correct place. Having tried to tell me that they didn’t tell me to turn the engine off presumably order to get me to move again (it’s a Milkfloat) they were reminded that they don’t get to tell me what to do as I need the toilet.

This one has form for throwing their weight around.

File with a 25th anniversary edition of No Angel if that comes out on 1 June.

Assuming you don’t buy this instead.

Take the small one, at least it will get into harbours and you will get to have a mooch around diffetent places.

Sign that you are officially old. 10 or 25 year anniversary releases of stuff you were never bothered with in the first place. Looking at you, Mr P. Floyd.
