The first Roman fort on the site of the castle was likely built around 55AD.

There’s an excellent greentext with that as the punchline.
Record collector here too. I can tell you exactly when I started, and it was when I saw a copy of Beggar’s Banquet by the Rolling Stones for 50p in a charity shop. Didn’t even have a record player at the time. Now I’ve got 471 records and counting and spend far too much money on the hobby.
That’s mesothelioma. You’re thinking of what happens when the doctor tells you you’ve got a different disease to the one you actually have.
I’m a big music snob, and I’m in my forties, but Decompression Period by Papa Roach hit me really hard the first time I heard it, and it’s always one I go back to. I’ve never had a bad breakup or anything, but it really captures the feeling for me.
Oddly, I think I’d like the opportunity to do something similar, if I could pick the media in advance. The same kind of vibe as Desert Island Discs.
Peppa Pig is the worst thing that ever happened, and not just on TV. We had a short run of it with my younger son and it was an awful time. Now we get SpongeBob and/or Pokémon and it makes me so happy.
A fellow old person! I’ll add Ocean Software and US Gold from the Commodore era.
My wife’s best friend was called Harriet Potter. I thought nothing of it until we were visiting New York in 2009 and the guy in the Warner Bros shop made a huge deal of it.
If you’re on Twitter, the account @foreigncovers posts covers in other languages.
Check out Since I’ve Been Loving You by Led Zeppelin. The kick drum pedal squeaks all the way through, and they left it in.
I bought a vinyl copy of Beggars’ Banquet by the Rolling Stones for 50p despite not having a record player. Fast forward six years and I now have a full stereo system, a collection worth over £10k and regularly order limited edition albums from small bands costing me large amounts each time. Send help.
What do you call a man with no shins?
Tony.
That’s crazy. A friend of a friend runs a Plex server, and I’ve seen how much is on there. If he offered me access I’d be all over it.
anti name anti-theft-device on old bad site. anti join Lemmy, small user base, anti name available, boom.
Ah, so you’re a linguine man.
I bought digital, sadly.
I use a variation of this to write music rounds for quizzes. Run lyrics through a translator then back to English and get people to name the song. My last round was called Korea Change (i.e I translated it to Korean and back).
