As John Maynard Keynes said of investing generally “Worldly wisdom teaches that it is better for reputation to fail conventionally than to succeed unconventionally”
This escape room in a disused Tube station in Camden is excellent www.missionbreakout.london
A fair few people live in Cambridge and commute to London, so building more houses in London would alleviate some of this pressure too. To your point, schools are closing in inner London and new build estates around Cambridge lack schools - there are enough resources, just in the wrong place
Got it in 2 entirely due to the word written on the football stadium seats
Brett Domino turned it into a banger of a pop song

I wonder if anyone has ever needed to make this journey

I wonder if the pandemic has a role to play? Lockdown meant no nearly new sales etc so new parents were buying more stuff new, so there’s subsequently a glut of second hand stuff pushing the prices down
It made me think of the Ron Swanson line in Parks and Rec: “I hate metaphors! That’s why my favorite book is Moby Dick. A simple tale of a man who hates an animal.”
After reading this I had to check whether they’d made an episode of Behind the Bastards on Jesus Christ
You don't think it might be better if you worked your way towards being a drug dealing criminal mastermind, say, via banking …do you have any qualifications?
Yes, I've got a hat.
I get annoyed when Absolute Radio 90s plays Fools Gold (released 1989) but clearly they’ve decided they’ve decided it’s part of the 90s pantheon more than other songs actually released that decade for a reason
A lot of my generation got into 80s music from hearing it in computer games. GTA Vice City in particular, but my brother discovered The Jam from hearing Town Called Malice on FIFA 2004.
Fair enough, maybe I haven’t given them enough of a chance. I’ve found a lot of their songs sound quite same-y so haven’t paid much attention to the lyrics.
That’s one of their better ones but not a banger in my book
Too many one hit wonders in the replies here - I think there needs to be a bit of iconoclasm in your choices. With that in mind I can think of Shiver by Coldplay, Love at First Sight by Kylie Minogue, Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers and Learn to Fly by Foo Fighters
Later releasing “If you tolerate this then your planet will be next”
I’m pretty sure most people would travel by train more if it was free. If fare dodging wasn’t possible some of them wouldn’t travel at all or travel a different way
Not that I think this is a useful counter argument or reason not to try to reduce fare evasion, but there’s a big difference between saying the fares evaded amount to £130m and TfL would have an extra £130m of it reduced fare evasion to zero. Most of the fare dodgers probably wouldn’t pay.
Did you know that Goldie Lookin Chain actually released a sea shanty a few years back? open.spotify.com/album/5jm4r5...

I remember on the dvd commentary to Phoenix Nights Peter Kay explains that in the scene where Jerry is in Asda singing ‘black bin bags’ to the tune of Men in Black they wanted him singing ‘corned beef!’ to the tune of Call Me, but Blondie said no. He’s never forgiven Debbie Harry.
Anyone who doesn’t know that she died in 2022 is probably also unaware of how her parents died…

So far we’ve only found four dinosaur rap albums, all by Jurassic 5. There may be others out there in the fossil record waiting to be discovered
I think there’s an in-joke that Craig got her the part after doing Knives Out with her and she was nervous as she didn’t have much time to train
In the year after 9/11 there were 1,595 extra deaths on US roads due to people driving instead of flying. www.theguardian.com/world/2011/s...
There’s definitely a thing where boomers feel able to dismiss millennial/Gen Z culture as niche whenever they don’t get a reference but we’re seen as ignorant if we don’t get cultural references from before we were born. It becomes very apparent at pub quizzes!
