This story was making me feel all right wing, but in fairness, you've got a point there

"Supernova in the East". Cheers for the reminder, the second part's not been out long, and I've not listened to it yet. The first part was great. I really like how Dan Carlin tries to get into the mindset of the participants in the subjects he covers. We've heard so much about how fanatical and cruel the Japanese were in the War without ever really hearing about why that was

It went downhill from there

Well if climate change or the total breakdown of civil society doesn't do for us, hopefully the anti-vaxxers will wipe humanity from the face of the Earth. I'm beginning to think we deserve it: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/feb/12/facebook-anti-vaxxer-vaccination-groups-pressure-misinformation

In some ways I'm jealous of the insects https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2019/feb/10/plummeting-insect-numbers-threaten-collapse-of-nature

I hate football and all human life

I really do now

This isn't much more than a CD writer: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pioneer-MVH-S410BT-Bluetooth-USB-Spotify/dp/B07H8G31NP/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1549807806&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=pioneer+mvh-s410bt&dpPl=1&dpID=41-YaymbjKL&ref=plSrch Admittedly, you'd need a cable and possibly a fascia adapter depending on what motor you've got

Is there an AUX in anywhere? Looks like a headphone socket. Common on cars since about 2006/7

The Fall and The Smiths are my two favourite bands, each very much on a pedestal and to which nothing else really comes close. Both unique, but obviously press very different buttons

I used to do this a lot before I embraced Bluetooth audio which means I just stream Spotify playlists to the car stereo, or my own music files via Google Play Music. I'm guessing your car has got a CD player and nothing else?

The Seaborne Ferries (they of the takeaway t&cs and no actual ferries fame) contract has been cancelled. It's a shame really, I was looking forward to a pretty stewardess on the beach at Dover gesturing for me to simply walk into the sea when I fancy a little jaunt to France to buy some weird cheese that nobody will eat

They can feel like they're trying to entertain at times, it must be said. The last one of his I read was the one about the Battle of The Bulge, and that was pretty good, but it's one of those where the subject's been done to death already, so there's not that much to add

At the to risk of coming over all Mark out of Peep Show, those that like reading actual books but haven't indulged so far should read pretty much anything by Antony Beevor and Max Hastings. Beevor's work is perhaps a bit more accessible, and he manages to convey the drama and urgency of events in a way that makes his stuff more exciting than a lot of history books. Hastings does detail in a big way, possibly too much for the casual reader, but I LOVE detail so right up my street as well. In fact, I've just found one on the shelf that I've not read. Result
