@crazy-horse yeah guess it depends on your stereo, etc. We've just got a Bluetooth dongle thing that plugs into the aux and connects to the phone, for handsfree calling plus has buttons for rewind/skip/pause. Budgo option but suits me for a tenner. I used to use an old phone as a device that stayed in the car with all my music on but gave up as it's just easier to stream now.
Of course most car stereos these days come with car versions of android/apple that connect direct to your phone and provide even more control and display.
Yeah, @Bones can often be spotted saying “Siri, get me Rolf Harris and Two Little Boys”

@kruse That Evan Smith guy sounds like a barrel of laughs you pansy.
Good to see how you developed your film review 'style'
Jesus... you actually read that whole thing?
I believe that my very next post was a riposte to Evan.I'll confess I scrolled straight to the comments section...is the blog as good as the comments?
Nah. Evan was a gem... and I took way too much time responding to him.
- Christ, I just re-read another piece of my own writing - spotting about half-a-dozen typos - in what was effectively an extended rant about spelling/punctuation/grammar/etc. Irony much?
Other than that - cringeworthy... I obviously had way too much time on my hands in those days.
Have you not heard of digital music?
Yes, I've been having a nosey at your blog, I'm "self-isolating" at the moment and my work mates have decided to ignore my Slack messages so I have a bit of chilling time.
Man you talk about buying CDs a lot. I kept thinking I'd look at a post and it would be from the late 90s or 00s, but they were all from the 10s.

Fuuuck... I knew I shouldn't have opened/made-public that can of worms.
I spent Saturday trawling the "webarchive" - and copy-pasting all the shit from my travels through South America, back onto the blog (after they got deleted because my hosting company disappeared overnight)... and even just glancing at some of the shit I'd written, I was cringing.
I mentioned it previously - but fuck, I cringe when I read shit I've written even a year or so earlier.
I did, however, remember many a wee episode I'd forgotten. It really was pretty much my diary as well as a regular "yeah, I'm still alive" message to the folks back home. Brought back some fond, fond memories - especially when deciphering the "clever euphemisms" I'd used at the time to disguise the reality... and looking at it with hindsight... soooo transparent.Hastings Pak'n'Save - I wrote up my views on that, did I? I might have to search that up myself for a reminder. I can't imagine it was a positive review.
Edit: One post I rescued from oblivion, I remember scanning in passing, and it had a reference to the Fern... back when the domain was damienhutchison, or some-such. I think that was from back when I was a lurker, rather than a drunk participant.

Oh - and yeah, re: CDs... I'm the same as @Crazy-Horse ... nowadays, I buy CDs and rip 'em.
Every time I visited NZ, I'd pretty much buy up every NZ CD released since I was last here - at any independent CD store I could find, rip'em, and then have the music stored on my phone, or trusty old iRiver.
I started off not trusting "streaming" - particularly with time away from decent internet access... but also kinda like the effort of having chosen some albums to have on the phone, and being stuck with them. - Christ, I just re-read another piece of my own writing - spotting about half-a-dozen typos - in what was effectively an extended rant about spelling/punctuation/grammar/etc. Irony much?

How Norway is building the world’s first full-scale ship tunnel
Boring through a 300-metre-high mountain, a new tunnel will allow ships to navigate more safely through a dangerously exposed part

@pakman I've seen breaking bad so l I think id know what I'm doing... and i have a contact in NZ who is familiar with this sort of thing, although he may just keep the bodies instead of disposing them...

@mikethesnow There was a feature on BBC World Service a couple of weeks ago that had three blind cooks talking about how they felt lack of vision improved their cooking. One was a UK marine who lost his sight and then his wife to cancer and had to learn to cook, another who wrote a cookbook for blind people and the third - I assume - was this woman. Won Masterchef USA, opened a couple of Vietnamese restaurants and has a best selling cookbook. Bloody inspiring stuff.
Wish I could bake that good a pie.

We were having a discussion at work after we found a young fella hiding in the front seat footwell of a car. He was naked and there were tissues and a penis shaped dildo on the front seat. Does it mean you are not as straight as you thought you were if you use a penis shaped dildo?
Asking for @Bones...

I suspect that the answer to that is Occam's razor.
I would question what other shape of dildo he might have used? You are in Queensland so the answers may be more varied than my imagination allows.
