I don’t know who that is. Only Spuds fan I can get behind is Tom Knox, but he’s legit as he’s actually from north London and obviously loves football.
How so?
*Nyjah, fucking auto correct.

In French, the circumflex accent usually indicates that a vowel was formerly followed by a now silent S that was present in the word’s original Latin or Old French form.
Hoste > hôte
Hospital > hôpital
Forest > forêt
Coste > côte
I suppose he put that accent on the O of Chandôn because it made his brand sound like some Paris Fashion Week sensation to him but Chandosn wouldn’t make sense as a name in Old French and Chandôn is therefore a typo, in my book at least.
I’m fully aware that most people never thought about that even here in French-speaking countries but it makes him seem kind of clueless and superficial to me.
It’s like those brands that have letters of the Danish or Norwegian alphabet in their logo but have no connection to Scandinavia, those letters are just there because they look cool but it makes no sense.
TLDR: cultural appropriation.

Yes, exactly.
Oh, this page is interesting too: Belgian beer brands such as Silly, Prik, Slag, La Plope, Pee Klak and Witte Dikke.

Thanks, I love you all.

Been reading a lot about old motor racing incidents since a gif got posted on Reddit of the 1955 Le Mans Disaster and it just will not leave my mind. I can’t imagine what the scene must’ve been like from all the different perspectives. 83 people killed in one incident that happened in a split second.
excellent Friday the 13th viewing

His inability to pop is baffling. Is it a choice?

Doesn’t deserve the not stoked thread because I guess I had a pleasant time overall. Went to London on my own for a Warp records gig at the Barbican, only reason being that I had a complete day to myself and fancied something different.
The music was fucking terrible. I wasn’t hoping for groundbreaking stuff with most of the artists but damn, some truly shite stuff all around.
Of course it’s subjective and many were into it, so all is good.
Saying that, I really liked Clarrissa Connely, that was pretty good. Even Battles struggled (joke in there somewhere) they are half the band they used to be, literally! I missed Seefeel as they were on first and I was eating pizza and didn’t expect them on till late.
Overall review: Truly Inspiring!
Inspiring in as much as I need to stop seeking perfection in order to produce material to release and perform for myself. Not that i’ll ever dumb down but at least I should try and combat imposter syndrome with the memory of this gig.
Ramble done.
Edit: not bigging myself up there, and thinking I should be on Warp, ha!, just that I always feel I need to do be at a certain level for myself to be happy and to let others hear it. Whether anyone else thinks it’s good or not is irrelevant.
