The Ionian Mission by Patrick O'Brian.
Best series I have read in years. Individual books are kind of meaningless, just a massive story.

Mental remembering this. I was at a meeting literally across the road. Left and went home, zero drama, and watching the news at night realising how near I was, and the fact that if I had left my meeting later I might have seen some emergency services. If i remember right he was imbibing bullets just as I was getting set to go.
Tldr, I fled the scene of a murder and the five-oh never caught up with me.

This mother fucking roundabout.
If you’re coming along from the right in the picture, the road has two lanes. The right hand lane is only for the asda (4th exit). The left hand lane is for the first three exists, the third of which is well past the 12oclock hand.
Now, ignoring for the moment the c***s who’ll take the right lane to cut you off on the third exit. Should you be indicating right, whilst in the left lane and taking the third exit?
Used to do a bit of work there. I was across the road when a guy was shot dead at the Asda.

Malta was horrendous. I once stopped at a busy roundabout and the cars behind me started beeping. In Malta you just dive in and expect others to make space.
In the UK, Welsh drivers are the worst.

Can we hold similar votes about the mods?

Picked up the death trap now. Said a sad farewell to my faithful Duster.
Anyway, it's a Crossland SE. 11,000 miles.
The old boy (I'm assuming he is old based on mileage) who had it before me seems to have taken it to Evans Halshaw in Falkirk for an annual service, and they fleeced him every time. After one year he had done less than 6,000 miles and they got him to change all 4 tyres.

We were Mr, Mrs, Miss [name].
When I was in 6th year I went to the pub in Alloa, clearly only 17 but tall so got away with it. Bumped into my old history teacher and spent the night calling him David. he never grassed me up. My older siblings often drank with him too.
He is buried near my uncle - I always say hello when at the cemetery. Wouldn't do that for "Sir".

Crossland should also get them done under trade description act, thing was unstable on road nevermind off-road.

I’ve got the ‘40 Licks’ best of double CD, like a fair bit of it, especially Under Cover of the Night, Brown Sugar, Satisfaction, Jumping Jack Flash - but that’s the only Stones CD I’ll ever need. It’s not that I hate them, far from it, but I simply think they are vastly over-rated, hence me stating it’s only my opinion. Opinions seem to be garnering red dots though. Fairy nuff’.
Brown sugar bores me to tears

"I want to hold your hand", "Help", "Girl", "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", "All you need is love" and "Across the Universe" are all written and sung by the same person.
"Can't buy me love", "Yesterday", "Eleanor Rigby", "Penny Lane" and "Let it be" are also written and sung by another person in the same group.
"I need you", "If I needed someone", "While my guitar gently weeps", "Something" and "Here comes the sun" are all written and sung by yet another person in that group.
If you like, "Yellow Submarine", "A little help from my friends" and "Octopus' Garden" are all sung by the fourth person in that band.
If you go to see a Beatles Tribute Act, you will likely see what seems to be four shows that are actually just one show representing the music of one band. Furthermore they all take turns singing instead of just one person having to do most if not all of the singing.
That is why the Beatles would get my vote.
You could make a similar case for Queen and the Eagles.

It's obviously The Beatles.
Let's consult Quincy Jones.
Quote"Paul [McCartney] was the worst bass player I ever heard," Jones told the magazine's David Marchese.
"And Ringo? Don't even talk about it."
Jones shared a story of his experience working in the studio on drummer Ringo Starr's 1970 solo album Sentimental Journey:
"I remember once we were in the studio with George Martin, and Ringo had taken three hours for a four-bar thing he was trying to fix on a song.
"He couldn't get it. We said, 'Mate, why don't you get some lager and lime, some shepherd's pie, and take an hour-and-a-half and relax a little bit'. So he did, and we called Ronnie Verrell, a jazz drummer.
"Ronnie came in for 15 minutes and tore it up. Ringo comes back and says, 'George, can you play it back for me one more time?' So George did, and Ringo says, 'That didn't sound so bad.' And I said, 'Yeah, motherf***er because it ain't you.'

Springsteen is a good shout. 40-odd years, loads of albums and singles, still putting them out and touring to huge crowds (unlike, say, Elton John who couldn't fill the Falkirk stadium).
On a personal note, the best live act I have ever seen.

The Beatles of course. All debate is interesting, healthy and entertaining etc but a best musical act of all time discussion can really only end one way. Now who's second best is a far less obvious and more interesting idea.....
No. Overrated.
How they got this myth that they somehow transformed music and everything that came after is because of them is a mystery. Good PR in the 60s is what they had, plus some fairly good songs.

My kids are raging about this for some reason. Getting quizzed as to why I didn't either a) keep the Duster or b) buy a new Duster.

Watching Adam Richman Eats Britain, and he was in a place in Manchester that served waffles.
The chef said he was a vegan, only used vegan ingredients like soy butter in making the waffles. Made them, then put them on the plate.
"What goes on now?" asked Richman.
"Fried chicken"
The vegan chef then loaded the plate with about 6 chicken drumsticks, all sitting right on top of the waffles.
