Stroopy121 Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Do Captain Tom's or MV sell 1/4" stereo patch leads? I need one tonight but I won't be in town until after the shops are shut so I need to work out if I need to make a dash into II or RnB at lunch time! xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colb Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 I had to order online when I bought some - no one in Aberdeen had them. If you're struggling you can borrow one of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 People are losing their shit over this new Cereal cafe in London. I saw some hyperbolic lunatic on Facebook describe it as "everything that is wrong with the world". Why are they being chastised as if they are the root of all evil?

Soda Jerk Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 That bit of coverage on Channel 4 news seemed to suggest that this particular area of London, whilst being a poor area, is also littered with quite a number of niche/"hipster" businesses, so the whole "poorest area of London" argument is weak. I probably wouldn't go, but I can see why people would. I can't see why people are so mad about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ca_gere Posted December 11, 2014 Report Share Posted December 11, 2014 "everything that is wrong with the world" People who use this phrase are... everything that is wrong with the world. It's the go-to phrase for people who like to maintain a condescending distance from everything but don't quite have the intelligence to form real opinions on the things they dislike.

Paranoid Android Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 It sounds like there are some stupid arguments being made about it but I read an article about that cafe recently and it sounds awful and the sort of place that would will be popular with total knob heads.

scottyboy Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) That bit of coverage on Channel 4 news seemed to suggest that this particular area of London, whilst being a poor area, is also littered with quite a number of niche/"hipster" businesses, so the whole "poorest area of London" argument is weak. I probably wouldn't go, but I can see why people would. I can't see why people are so mad about it. Rents in London are so high that any of the "poor" areas are full of students (and barristas and so on). I Googled the cafe and it's in Shoreditch, one of the best known bohemian (trying not to use the h-word) areas. The next tube station is Bethnal Green, which is still pretty grim looking, rammed with small Asian businesses, and there's a Unite 200+-a-week student property right in the centre. (so I agree, basically) Edited December 12, 2014 by scottyboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As usual though it gets retweeted/shared around the world via morons on the Internet who haven't read/don't understand the issues.

Old Gold Posted December 12, 2014 Report Share Posted December 12, 2014 I wouldn't feel too bad. I imagine they weren't expecting national publicity when they put together their pure shonky business plan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brettthain1 Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Moon moon got up to some crazy situations! From the scooped frets Mexican strat, to swapping a guitar in Edinburgh for a loop pedal, to swap it with another one straight after.We all had an incredible summer!
