it's one of the strengths of the mail that they *always* get all these details. should really have asked what his kids think of the changes though.

the mail's gallery of "abbey road"-inspired record covers includes "split with methadone abortion clinic" by screaming afterbirth. wonder if paul dacre is a fan.

Haven't checked properly, but I think they are basically all the same albums, but just in a different order.

Their record label said it wouldn't sell because it did not feature the names of the band or the LP.
Yes, I can imagine EMI thinking that the new Beatles album might not sell...

To be fair, it was John Kosh who said about "EMI said it won't sell", as stated in the Telegraph.
To be blunt, clearly the Daily Mail nicked the whole article, photos and all.

food waste? tbh once i take out the recyclable stuff that's all i have left.
― Amateur Darraghmatics (darraghmac), Tuesday, 15 September 2009 11:31 (fourteen years ago) link
I don't understand why they're getting quite so 'URRGHH SLOP BUCKETS' about this. Food waste is currently collected with the rest of your rubbish once a week. Under the proposed system, food waste will still be collected once a week, but just separated out from the rest of your waste. What's the difference?
― Peinlich Manoeuvre (NickB), Tuesday, 15 September 2009 11:33 (fourteen years ago) link
Not sure which is funniest - the picture of the Victorian slop bucket or the nightmare vision of maggots and rats overrunning the nation's kitchens.
― Dorian (Dorianlynskey), Tuesday, 15 September 2009 11:39 (fourteen years ago) link
euroc-rats, surely
― Amateur Darraghmatics (darraghmac), Tuesday, 15 September 2009 11:41 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, that Victorian illustration is just someone emptying the laundry bucket, isn't it? Can't see it being appropriate unless they used to use rotting meat instead of fabric conditioner.
― Peinlich Manoeuvre (NickB), Tuesday, 15 September 2009 11:44 (fourteen years ago) link
I can imagine Dacre having to be forcibly restrained from including an image of a 1665 plague-cart.
― Dorian (Dorianlynskey), Tuesday, 15 September 2009 11:49 (fourteen years ago) link
Well, I guess the slop bucket is what you have to put the food in during the week? Presumably this will be covered, perhaps with some kind of "lid", to keep the insects and rodents out.
― Colonel Poo, Tuesday, 15 September 2009 11:50 (fourteen years ago) link
I have one in my kitchen with just such an ingenious "lid" contraption. No maggots, flies or rats in evidence yet.
― Dorian (Dorianlynskey), Tuesday, 15 September 2009 11:52 (fourteen years ago) link
As long as it has an airtight lid it shouldn't be a problem.

It's a point your paper has made on several occasions and I agree with you on this. Every year Britain sends 6.7 million tons of food to landfill, where it contributes to dangerous methane emissions.
says Hil.
― Mark G, Tuesday, 15 September 2009 13:25 (fourteen years ago) link
just to clarify something- when this food waste goes into a special bin, where does it go to from there if not landfill? pigfood?
