you’re trapped in the last TV show you watched. Where are you?

Now that I think of it my usual phrase is probably "not today"

Our new research shows UK winters are becoming significantly wetter due to a rise in global temperatures. Rainfall is increasing around 7% for each degree in warming. So we're experiencing rainfall levels 20 years ahead of predictions - enough to fill 3 million Olympic size swimming pools a year.

I am an Oxford fan, for today at the very least. Howay the Oxfordians! πŸ€ͺ

I did not, the only reason was the deal I got on the Anycubic Kobra S1 Combo. It ended up being Β£350 for the Kobra and I got just over 10KG of filament to play around with.

At that price it was hard to say no, even with the legitimate Anycubic concerns I had read about.

Very happy after 300hrs btw

I am seriously stretching my optimism here, I realise that.

I did pick up a Crisis box set which is supposed to be worth a few hundred quid for Β£10 at a charity shop recently so maybe that luck will continue.

I am in an Oldfield collecting mood and realise I don't have that much other than Vinyl and CD`s.

I start my search for what I imagine is an expensive collection, please wish me luck.

We must learn to play without Bruno and I think we might just pull it off.

Gotta have hope lol

I have no idea but it does hurt my eyes when I look at it for more than 5 minutes.

I heard about this a short while back but had forgot all about it.

Cheers for the heads up, definitely worth a look imo.

Mikes glorious short dyed hair days hehe

I still hope for one last hurrah tour of sorts by Mike but very unlikely. He is happy in retirement if what I have read is true.

I got to see Mike on the Hear and Now tour (I think it was called) but missed everything else.

I watch the live TB2 video often as well as the TB3 premier. Fantastic shows, heck I even like the Berlin Millennium Bell show hehe

Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells: The Best of Tubular Bells I, II & III UK Tour 2026 - Senbla The Best of Tubular Bells I, II & III, which celebrates the brilliance of these iconic and seminal musical pieces, will tour across the UK throughout February and March 2026. This 26 date UK tour will...

Just booked tickets to see a Tubular Bells concert, Mike is not performing of course but it is apparently good.

I found out about this today and the Gateshead show is on Friday so cutting it a bit fine but there are a few tickets remaining for anyone interested.

When I was probably 7 or 8 my dad got a Jean Michel Jarre VHS and on it there was a BTS clip of Jarre twiddling knobs and making what I felt at the time was magic happen.

Good old days, now I have vintage ARP software/plugins, not the same. I would have love to play around with some of that stuff.

But climate expert Donald Trump says it is all a big hoax.

So hard to know who to trust. /s

I let out a genuine chuckle when I read this post.

That is a rare thing. It is funny because it is true. I have been having a decent day but at 7:30pm that is likely to change somewhat πŸ˜‚

Still wouldn't miss it for the world. Howay the lads!!
