Songs with beautiful string sections

Hey,

I want to make a playlist of post-rock songs specifically where the string sections/segments (violin, viola, cello) are prominent in the song, and not just providing depth and atmosphere.

I know it's overused (and not post-rock!), but bonus points for anything with the emotional gut-punch of 'On the Nature of Daylight'

Tell me your favourites :)

Anyone had any experience with Vets4Pets?

Hi everyone,

My partner and I have just got a new kitten, he's 10 weeks so need to start thinking about registering him somewhere and getting him his first vaccinations. My nearest vets is Vets4Pets in Kirkstall, their website says they are accepting new pets, but I've heard varying reports on their care and that there are better options. I obviously want the best for little Ozzy, even if it means travelling a bit further.

Does anyone have any first-hand experience with them?

Thank You :)

Is the Oppo for me?

Hi everyone,

I’m thinking of switching to the Oppo Find X9 (non-pro version) and wanted some honest opinions from people who actually use Oppo phones day to day.

I've used Samsung Galaxy phones for as long as I can remember (currently on the S21), and I think I'm long overdue a change. Tired of the battery life, random freezing, and let's not even talk about the camera.

What I’m looking for:

  • Better overall performance and smoothness
  • Better camera
  • Improved battery life
  • Simple adaptability from years of Samsung UI (something I did actually like)
  • Customization
  • Similar size to Samsung (not a fan of big 'Ultra' phones)

Based on a bit of research I've narrowed it down to the Oppo Find X9, with the only close competitor being the Vivo X300. The consensus seems that the Vivo camera is far superior, but the Oppo is better all-round.

Would you agree with this? Should I take the plunge, or are there any other models I should possibly consider?

There's an Oppo 12GB / 512GB on eBay for £600 (~$800). This would be in my price range.

Thank You!

Private boat with skipper - estimate price?

Hi,

I was thinking of surprising my partner with a private boat trip around some of the more isolated beaches and coves of the island. Does anyone have any idea of how much this might cost for say half a day? And how would be best to arrange it, if possible? We're staying in Dassia, not far from Corfu town.

Thank You.
