Bristol-based hi-fi idiot. Likes fixing stuff, selling stuff and making the world sound better. Not keen on bigots of any stripe. Vegan, pro-wildlife, hate hunters. Big on cycling and recycling.

You can't go wrong with DALI speakers. Better value than most at all pricepoints

Came here to say exactly that. £5k wouldn't buy one of my mono power amplifiers. Well not new anyway. The key with hi-fi is set-up and room acoustics. The best kit in the world will be underwhelming in an inappropriate room

I heard the advertising jingle long before I heard the Valentinos original. Apparently some other band did a popular version too.

Astrophotographer Adam (AJ) Smadi caught this image a few hours ago from Washington state. A thin crescent Moon, sunlight illuminating the rugged lunar surface. And 2,400 times farther away—and on the other side of the Sun—mighty Jupiter, and its moons Io (left) and Ganymede (right).
A crescent Moon seen during the day, arcing from upper left to lower right of the frame. At lower centre is the full disk of Jupiter; the small dots to its upper left and lower right and Io and Ganymede, respectively.

Very much so if you're in a densely populated area. My brother told me his dealer supplies a weed menu, he pays online and a kid on a scooter will be around in less than an hour.

Aquafaba can do some of the things eggs do. There's a Portuguese restaurant in Bristol that do an alarmingly convincing fried egg.

I put a bin in front of the one I saw, so it'd have to try and find a space between the densely packed cars to get on the road.

People get upset with vegans for pointing out animal suffering, rather than getting upset with themselves for causing it

A French girl randomly got into my car as I was in a layby replying to an email one Sunday morning after a car boot sale. Turned out that was her way of hitchhiking. She went a couple of miles up the road with me and then decided she wanted to get out and go somewhere else.

Same. She's been bringing her cub for the last few weeks. Knows when the food's due and hangs out at the bottom of the garden. We turn off the lights in the house and watch them through the French windows

You're forgetting that the environment is knackered and getting worse. Our biosphere, the only planet we have, will likely be uninhabitable in 100 years. So it's all moot

It's ace. Unfortunately there won't be a second series until the end of last year at the earliest. Still, I think the writer has a bright future ahead of him. Vince something

An ex-girlfriend spotted Damon Albarn in 1994. She said "you're that guy....", *his face lit up on being recognised* "out of Suede, aren't you?". "Yes", he snarled. She was a special kind of cruel.

Maybe you could use those thousands of gallons of water you waste raising animals to try to swallow them?
A digital illustration of an orange pill bottle with a white label. Above it, in bold black letters, the text reads **"Hard to swallow pills."** The label on the bottle states: **"You can't say you love animals if you eat them."**  

The image uses the "hard to swallow pills" meme format to point out the contradiction of claiming to love animals while participating in their exploitation.

Those speakers need to be raised from the floor a bit. Doesn't need to be a lot - try putting them on little footstools as an experiment - but they'll sound a lot more 3 dimensional and engaging if you do.

Crosley Binfire @stereoblab.bsky.social · 01/06/2026
Not necessarily. Some speakers have asymmetric driver arrays. Either way around they're mirror images, but they'll sound better one way around. Discovered this when I changed to a better model of the same speaker. Couldn't work out why they sounded wrong till I took the grilles off.

Seriously? In 1938 if they were allowing Nazi Germany to take part would you still have been OK with that? Yes, I know Eurovision didn't start until 1958, I'm just comparing one genocidal regime with another. You know who I'm talking about.

Same. Used to love Eurovision, I tried my hardest to get tickets when it was in Liverpool. Sad to miss it but fuck Israel and its enablers.

Crosley Binfire @stereoblab.bsky.social · 16/05/2026
Again, fuck Eurovision for allowing the Genocidal Israelis to take part in your contest that's "all about peace and unity". You (rightly) booted out Russia for invading Ukraine, but killing 100,000 civilians and taking their land is acceptable, apparently.
