just looked her up.
Another cute, quirky pop-folk-country singer.
Can't say it is my musical style.
Good for here if she lasts more than 2 years.
I'd rather be phishing!

No. I knew about her before she was ... er ... anonymous! She got some coverage in t'Guardian when the album came out (which depressingly I find is now over 2 years ago - where does it go?) as various issues got attached to her songs by said organ's even more various commentators so you shouldn't be the only Brit apart from me. Having said that the claim that she was even Newer Than New Country got shot down in flames when those in the know (amongst which I humbly include myself) pointed out that them there country folks had been writing songs about exactly the same things pretty much since they came down from the mountains! Not sure she ever deserved to be saddled with the great white hope label (be it blessing or curse) but it was pretty inevitable once Taylor Swift had abandoned country completely given the sudden dearth of new female stars in the genre proper.
Just listened to the new single (out this month) and it's a pretty little song but it doesn't show much in the way of progression. I guess it'll all come down to that tricky second album as to whether she'll be just another mayfly.

You can get the new album on youtube, I don't think it's as good as the first but still some good songs on there.

Fallout 4 is announced, they offer a PipBoy Edition which comes with a real PipBoy you can use with your smartphone. The Preorde offers didn't last a half hour and were gone, everybody is hunting for that.
Me too, i got the problem, i got none, still refreshing to hope someone cancels his order or they stock up.
True 1st World problems... but this time i'm affected

I don't need a PipBoy. Wait what happens when they include a suit from the Brotherhood of Steel.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

It's annoying, isn't it? Lots of companies do this these days. Nintendo with Amiibo, Funko with store exclusive Pops (my weakness,) etc... And it really makes no sense, from a business perspective.
I'll reference Boogie2988's argument here, which I completely agree with (great youtuber btw, and no, he isn't me...) All this really does is drive the secondary market, and make some wanker a hefty profit reselling it. You print X amount of something, knowing 5X-10X people will be drooling to get their hands on one... You're losing out on massive amounts of profit. I have cash in my hand, and you have a product I want. But you're telling me you sold out... That makes me unhappy, but makes you a farking moron.
And of course, there are those that like to argue that this is an 'entitlement' complex... Not really. Entitlement is when something isn't in short supply, and you want it just because. Here, the producer has imposed artificial scarcity into the market. Just take my money already!

I really can't be bothered today, some brilliant strategy has demoralised and angered most of the people working here.
Anyone want to spend the next twelve hours in a pub drinking beer, talking nonsense and playing pool, darts, shove ha'penny (haven't seen one of those boards for years, my mum and dad had one when we were kids, wonder what happened to it)?

A bit, about pubs that require an interview to get into: the only questions I've ever been asked were "What'll it be?", and "Usual?"

And don't forget the question I always wanted to be asked but never have. Have you got any ID sonny?

|
|
|

Yeah...
And now when I go to the supermarket and buy booze, they tap the button "Clearly over 25" as well...

Go to sunny California then. When I was out there everyone was ID'ed. On one memorable lunchtime, I was in a bar with some friends and my parents. The only one without photo id was my Dad; he'd left his passport in the hotel and only had an old green driving licence. I was early 30's and Dad just shy of 70, but he couldn't get a beer.
Of course, not one person gloated or made fun of the 'kid'.

Only time I've ever been refused service was on my 18th birthday.
I was in an off-license on my way to someone else's 18th birthday party.
