Right then, many thanks to @holette for the splendid selection of bleeps n grooves. Next Sunday, as is the custom around these parts, will be our mid- #SummerVortex, for which, as always, we'd like you to submit one (or two, if they're short) of your favourite live performance recordings. A dropbox will soon open up to collect them and @akx will be on hand to blend them for playback next Sunday 20:00 BST (GMT+1).
Until then, good to see everyone, hoping for a fine week for y'all!

Unimpressed with the #Ortlieb universal repair set. The bolts are torx not allen, and getting them into the nuts is really tricky, especially since you can’t really look inside the bag to align spanner to provide resistance

Very interesting article about effects of different models of dealing with #cannabis

More research needed but indications that commercialised arrangements can lead to higher use - advertising etc

Looks like the Uruguay model of regulation is better
