There are around 800,000 eighteen year-olds in the UK.  What's the something useful you're going to have them all do just based on being able to read?

what are the majority of them doing at the moment?

university or college

I knew a few girls who went there too. One repressed mute, two who would have sex with anyone anywhere and one normal one.

Well it didn't and has now said:

Among the schools identified was Colston's Girls' School in Bristol, which has now said it will withdraw the policy that the governing body "will not permit the promotion of homosexuality".

 

I'm not sure about how one goes about 'promoting homosexuality', surely your attraction to one sex or the other or both is how you are and isn't likely to be changed by some classes on sexual education?

What is Mary Berry for? To please 100 year old men as young slip of girl?

I fucking hate Paul Hollywood. 

That Mary Berry isn't particularly appealing either and the failed comediennes presenting it get on my tits. Shame as some of the contestants have been pretty good from ones I have seen bits of.

Every year in the UK about 24,000 people leave the Armed Forces for "Civvy Street".

And it's apparent that some ex-servicemen find the transition hard.

It is feared as many as 1,100 of them end up sleeping rough on the streets of London every night. And according to MoD figures, 3% of prisoners - nearly 2,500 - are ex-military.

The army teaches you a living: panhandling.

Do other lefties find writing  the symbol & trickier than it should be? It is the only symbol I find unnatural because it starts and ends on the right.

Good work. I'm sure you can work some DJing anecdotes into there. 

Or some classic hijack memes 

I am a lefty, but not for everything. I just bought a lefty guitar and I write left handed, but I use a knife, scissors, throw, clean my teeth, play tennis and various other things right handed. I use a mouse at work with my right hand (on windows) but use my left at home (on my mac). I'm not totally ambidextrous and still consider myself as left handed, but I can do a lot with both hands.

same as digital village, changed to dv247.com, they'll selling off the shelving in a few weeks or months

DV has been DV247 for years. The operating name won't have changed, the business was called White Rabbit Records before their 'collapse'. There is something rotten about that one though.

As for Chemical, there website doesn't seem to have changed in the last week and I think the name changed from Chemical Records to just Chemical some time ago. 

Horrible. I almost switched off as soon as I saw the beardy weirdy, I gave it until he started to talk again and then switched off.

back in the day...

I recall them from 93/94. They were terrible.

Now lads mags are due to have their covers censored or with additional covers...

Only in Co-op.

I'm sure service stations had this for jazz mags for many years.

 

All the best Dave, but this venture sounds like it is working the wrong way around. They should be supplying studio time and re-couping costs from sales. What deal have you in place, if any? Will you own the publishing etc? What deal are you getting on sales? Whilst the discount sounds good, is it because the studio is already struggling and are using this as a lure to get you in? I'm not trying to piss on your chips, just wondering what is promised once you have raised the money and what has been agreed in contract terms. I'm no expert, but I would suggest you consult an expert about this: Musicians Union offer free legal advice to members, otherwise a musical lawyer or well versed music agent.

Second post in this thread is very good:

I initially mistook the storm for a nightmare. I had earplugs in so I only got woken by the flashes of light and I must have dozed off in between them. There was one flash and I thought nothing of it. Next flash and the curtains were open. Then another flash and my girlfriend was suddenly standing motionless by the window. I was fully expecting her to be covered in blood or something.

oh and adventures and stuff

Sounds terribly dull.

for what?

This is a fair question.

Assuming we're talking about food, Flora Light for everyday shizzle and baking healthy cakes. Proper butter once in a blue moon as a treat, or when making naughty cakes.

Healthy? Read that and see if you can conclude which is healthier.

Well, as the article says, Flora has not been made with hydrogenated fat since 1994. Technically you can't actually buy 'margarine' in the UK any more and you haven't been able to for some time, if you define it as a spread which contains hydrogenated fats. But I agree that the fact a war on butter happened in the first place is worth questioning - I just don't think spreads are as bad for you as they used to be.

It is this bit I was alluding to:

Butter and fat spreads between them make up just one-eighth of our total fat intake. In the UK, the biggest source of fats overall and of saturated fat in particular is meat, particularly highly processed meat products such as sausages and pies. Cereal products including biscuits, cakes and breads are the next biggest sources of fat, then milk products. Butter and fats spreads come after that, which begs the question why they became the frontline in the war on saturated fat in the first place. Potato snacks and crisps account for about the same amount of fat, and it is the shift to an overwhelmingly industrial fast-food diet that really needs to be addressed.

Basically its not worth worrying about, enjoy what you want and don't get conned into:

Flora pro.activ fat spread sells at a premium of more than 300% on standard products

I am liking the extra punctuation and lack thereof.

just finished Bioshock Infinite, although the gameplay was a little lackluster i thought the story was some proper excellent grown up sci fi

Completely agree, story was up there with the first one. Combat served the purpose I suppose but wasn't anything special

This is encouraging because Bioshock 2 was rubbish. The first one is a classic.

Look into this shit, I take two a day.

It was $149.95 for the early birds, then $274.95 for the advance now it is $399.95. Don't know what the asterix is about.

The last price sounds steep for a three day festival, but not much more than Glastonbury was.

The pay for the Technician is depressingly low. I would consider this as I could do the job, but I don't think I could take a £4k pay cut to work longer hours in a more technically demanding role, that would seem like a backward step. Shame because I think the work environment could be rewarding, but rewarding doesn't pay my rent.

This internship is unpaid and we are looking for a commitment of 15 hours per week for 6 months.

I thought unpaid internships (or jobs as you call them) were illegal?

14k? 

  Although I'm not that interested in doing that kind of work. I understand Access to Music is hardly making a fortune though.
