What happened to Dels?

Gob was a solid record, Petals Have Fallen was a decent follow-up. Then nothing.

Looking at his social media he seemed to move more into video directing and content creation?

Thought he really had something and could have gone further/been bigger. Glad he seems happy in life, though!

Hey everyone. Hope you're all well.

My wife and I are coming to Disneyland Paris at the end of July. We last visited in 2023 and got engaged in Paris, so we're returning this time for our first wedding anniversary.

We stayed off-site in the centre of Paris in 2023, just visiting Disneyland for the day, but this time we're staying on-site at the Cheyenne Hotel.

We're coming from the UK and heading to Paris, and at the moment we're slap bang in the middle of a horrendous heatwave that's battering both our countries.

And by the end of July and beginning of August we could be in the middle of a heatwave that's even worse than this current one. The UK just had its hottest ever June day!

I've seen online that the Cheyenne Hotel has air conditioning in the rooms, but I've also seen online that France's laws about air conditioning are quite strict and particular.

I'm just asking really, do you have control of the AC in your own room? I don't like to get excessive with it, I'll only drop it to about 19c/65f - is this allowed at the Cheyenne Hotel?

I should add, my wife is fine. She's blessed with brown skin and a cool inner temperature, but I'm pale with partly ginger hair and I'm incapable of sleeping in a room that's hotter than 22c/70f, lol.

Thanks in advance for all your advice!

How was the venue?

Air conditioned? Enough water? Better places to stand to avoid the heat? Did the staff let you take water in?

Just curious because I'm going down tomorrow with friends. I'm prepared to watch near an open door to the outside.

etc. etc.

As the title says really - what does each album feel like to you? What comes to mind when you listen to them all?

For me, Music Has the Right to Children feels like being stuck in a room with only an old Panasonic 14" TV and a VHS player for entertainment, and all the tapes contain are complete replays of the Protect & Survive information broadcasts from the 1980s. I can't leave the room until I've watched every tape.

Geogaddi feels like I'm being followed through the jungle by a giant insect of some kind. It's not chasing me, but I can feel it keeping track of me. I can feel that sense of paranoia of something creepy closely paying attention to my movements. Will it catch me and kill me? Is it just curious? I have no idea.

Perhaps the biggest outlier of their discography, The Campfire Headphase feels like I'm terminally ill but have chosen to spend my final days in a beautiful seaside town. I can hear the waves, I can feel the wind, I can taste the salt in the air. I know I'm dying, but the environment is relaxing and gives me a sense of peace and tranquility.

Tomorrow's Harvest feels like I'm walking through the Nevada desert after a series of atom bomb tests in the 1950s. The air is cold and desolate and infected with something, and all I seem to be able to bring to mind when I think about the future is ruined landscapes and broken skylines destroyed by nuclear war.

I've not spent as long with it yet, but Inferno feels like I've been invited into an ostensibly benevolent cult that gathers round a fireplace every night to talk and sing and debate. The cult turns out to be fairly benevolent after all, but there's still this creeping sense that I'll find out the dark truth soon.

I dunno. I'm rambling now, I fear. What about you guys?

Alright, everyone! Hope this is alright to post.

It seems like you're on the verge of signing Savinho from City, so I thought I'd give an overview of how City fans feel about him and how I feel about him personally? Delete if you want, mods.

I'll be honest, virtually no City fan is sad about this deal. 99.9% of us are fine with him going. Getting £60m for him is honestly being seen as a really unexpected surprise.

I'll start with the pros. There are some. He's got that ability to run in a slow-FAST-slow-FAST-slow-FAST-FAST manner that full-backs absolutely hate. He's good at nipping away from people and finding space behind his full-back.

There have been occasional patches of good form, especially over December to February in the 24/25 season, where he's worked really hard in a good run of games and has managed to combine his attributes with consistent effort for a few weeks.

He seems to have a decent relationship on the pitch with Haaland, too. He's provided more than a few assists for our big Norwegian number nine, which is something even Doku initially struggled with. It's only really De Bruyne who's really been in full sync with Haaland.

And the main headline, I suppose, is that he's still very young and has time to develop. He's 22 years old and won't be 23 until the end of next season. A manager like De Zerbi should be able to get something out of him, and might be forgiving with him than Guardiola ever was.

Now for the cons... Erm, honestly, we (the club and the fans) just don't think he's got it. That X factor wingers need. He's got all the individual ability and skill to be a top class wide player, but getting all the dots to connect at the same time seems like something he'll never quite manage.

He's definitely better on the left, where he can go on the outside of his full-back, but when the goal gets near it's like something takes over him. His finishing is nervy and weak, his crossing can be erratic. When he beats his man and gets a chance to cross, it's 50/50% that it'll even go near the right person.

He just has this annoying tendency to get himself into really good positions and then produce nothing. Then that missed chance gets in his head and he can't get it out. When he goes through on goal there's very little faith that he'll go round the keeper and score, or provide the perfect cut-back for a tap-in.

And on the right he just seems to get lost nowadays. Miscontrols the ball, struggles to beat his man, doesn't fully understand where he's meant to be, doesn't have that creative spark to beat a packed defence, and can't really be trusted to find something big when the chips are down.

He seems like a decent kid and he should have a really high ceiling in the right set-up, but a lot of Blues just don't think he's got that dog in him. The potential is mostly there, but he's not kicked on this year after a patchy but sorta promising first season. £60m this is a big risk for you guys.

Playing for a Spurs team that won't faced parked buses as often as City do might be the making of him. He definitely plays best against teams who don't sit in the box and leave a bit of space behind the full-backs on the counter. It might be the case that Pep was holding him back.

But... yeah, you guys will need to be patient with him.

Hey everyone.

I frequently look at this subreddit for my wonderful wife. She was diagnosed with endometriosis last year and had excision surgery a few months ago. I always look in this sub for any additional support tips and any extra advice I might be able to give to her, on top of what we work together on already. Every little helps.

Being a pretty frequent lurker/reader here means posts get pushed to the top of my Home feed on Reddit. And today I was shown a post that initially broke my heart - as someone revealed that their dream of having children might be affected by a potential endometriosis diagnosis - but then made me feel slightly confused and frustrated.

I won't link out to the post or tag the OP in this because I don't want to start a pile-on, but I was left feeling pretty dismayed. In the opening post, the person said that, if they were unable to have their own children, they'd go down the surrogacy route because (I quote) "adoption and fostering is glorified human trafficking". I was pretty stunned to read that.

As if that wasn't bad enough to begin with, the very first comment that responded to OP's heartbreaking post said (again, quote) "[Don't do] surrogacy, no woman's body should be bought as an incubator". If I was pretty stunned before then I was completely despondent after reading that comment.

This is the endometriosis subreddit. Women who have been left infertile by endometriosis - and women who struggle with pregnancy because of endometriosis - read this subreddit every day. How are they supposed to feel when such extreme viewpoints are just blithely and flippantly posted in front of them like that?

It should also be worth saying that there are no doubt gay and bisexual women in same-sex relationships reading this subreddit, who will be considering adoption and surrogacy as potential ways to start a family after an endometriosis diagnosis of their own. I'm disheartened to know that those women could be discouraged from motherhood after reading those comments.

Adoption/fostering and surrogacy don't come without their complications but I can't believe it needs stating that they are legitimate ways of entering motherhood. My wife and I don't plan to have children of our own, but I can't imagine how my wife would feel if she did want children and saw people on this (ostensibly) supportive subreddit saying that adoption and surrogacy were both ethically abhorrent.

I wish so very much that people would be more sensitive and open-minded about the things they post in here. This is meant to be a supportive place for the people who come here, not a judgmental one. What has to happen to somebody for them to view adoption as "glorified human trafficking", or to view surrogacy as "buying a woman's body to be used as an incubator"?
