MONEY - David McWilliams

Just a few chapters in but this is a fantastic read. The research is superb and McWilliams has such a fantastic way of explaining concepts that its a joy to read. Money is the link but this is a book about the peogress of civilisation

Sport / Re: Arsenal
September 28, 2024, 08:50:53 PM
That was a bizarre game. Arsenal were so dominant in the first half Leicester didn't get a sniff. The 2 0 score at half time was probably flattering to Leicester.

Leicester improved in the 2nd half and Arsenal were guilty of being a little laid back and before I knew it it was all square.

The game then reverted to type with an utterly dominant home team hammering their opponents without finding a way through. The Leicester keeper played out of his skin, some fantastic saves amongst the 13 he made. Trossard hit the post and it was beginning to look like 2 points lost.

But corner expertise told again and Havertz got the luckiest goal of his career (I imagine).

Hopefully lessons have been learnt for the slackness that allowed Leicester in.

Floyd lost all their bite and edge when Waters left. All very supine and limp wristed after.

The Final Cut is probably the bitiest and edgiest, certainly the lyrics.  I think it really doesn't deserve the panning it gets.

Nice review Slim!

Gilmour and Waters had some chemistry between them though.  I don't think either came anywhere near to creating anything as good when they were solo to what they managed as part of PF.

The ambition and execution of Waters live shows puts him ahead of Gilmour though.

General Discussion / Re: Elon Musk, Twitter
September 26, 2024, 07:45:20 PM
His ego is off the charts. Apparently he was a guest of Rupert Murdoch's at the last Super Bowl. He tweeted best of luck to one of the teams as did Biden. Musk barely watched the game after that. He got angrier and angrier as he saw how many more views and likes Biden was getting compared to him.  He got in touch with his senior engineering team and left for the office before the game had finished.  He called in the team of engineers to try and work out how this happened.

They ended up creating an algorithm designed to give his tweets a higher priority than anyone else's..

What a prick!

On the other hand I did read it on twitter so looks like he really is a proponent of free speech
