    Im going about 20 mins away on the tram from me to my local participating record store. I’ve seen what I want in their online listing that being the Sugababes obviously and also the Veronica’s. They also posted an image online that had a few copies of TIMW visible. So my target is to get there for 8:20-8:30 for the store opening at 10
  2. Not likely soon when Keisha can barely sing the chorus 😅😅
  3. ACE REJECT KLAXON
  4. I’ll just repost this as I see we seem to have circled back to the exact same topic
  5. Im so happy they finally released something like this as a single. It represents such an important and incredible part of their back catalogue in all of the best ways. It speaks to some of my all time favourite Sugababes tracks. It’s so not out of place with Disturbed, Colder In The Rain, I Lay Down and so on
  6. Oh they are going to absolutely destroy my credit card with that merch I’m obsessed

    Have fun tonight!!! There’s a spoilers thread already if you want to post about the set list etc after
  8. It’s defo not as instant as Jungle but it snares you and draws you in. It’s so ethereal with the layers of lush harmonies and Mutya getting to take a high harmony and its just magical they all shine but this is a Mutya song to me, she sounds so heavenly
  9. Here to extend my DNQ streak to three robberies in a row
  10. Amazon doesn’t pay a fair rate of corporation tax for a number of reasons (a misconception is that Amazon pay no tax, they pay billions in wage taxes and consumption taxes like VAT) chief among which is because they can afford to pay people to find the loopholes in tax law, so you wanna tax Amazon, start closing the long standing loopholes. You fix corporate tax evasion by two primary routes. Legislation and cooperation. Legislation to close loopholes and tighten up accounting regulations and what you can legally deduct from your income by way of tax relief and incentives. Personally as a chartered accountant I would be inclined to calculate a lower rate of corporation tax but from higher up the P&L so there’s less chance for accountants to f*** with it. Cooperation is done through things like the OECD to set global minimum tax rates and enforce requirements such as CBCR and work together to stop corporations offshoring revenue in low tax jurisdictions Tariffs ain’t got jack shit with corporate tax avoidance and certainly won’t stop it
  11. 😶😶 You cannot be serious. Do you know how capitalism works? The economic system, particularly in the USA, revolves around building short term shareholder wealth and prioritises that above literally anything and everything else including the long term financial stability of the business in question. You don’t make less profit, not f***in voluntarily anyway. If Tarifs come in, they get passed on, why? Because most businesses are margin based and focus on maintaining or improving that margin. Tarifs push the input costs up, and as a consequence prices rise in order to maintain the margin so they can pay dividends to shareholders (the majority of whom are institutional investors of which a substantial portion is private pension funds). Seriously tho, like how old are you? What do you do/study? Coz you seem to be living in a bubble that is detached from reality
  12. Sugababes - WeedsSugababes - WeedsChoose your preferred music service Presave link!!!
  13. People are comparing this to Spiral which sets expectations quite high
  14. You appear to have entirely forgotten about non-state pensions. We’re not talking about the UK state pension, that’s just straight up taxpayer funded. Roo is on about private pensions. The big funds have countless billions invested in stocks. I say „forgotten“ but given the rest of your posts in this thread it’s probably more accurate to say „didn’t know“
  15. Dying for this. Heard a small clip off a fan I know who’s based in the Phillipines and it’s LUSH
  16. It’s apparently out in NZ so I think we have our answer there!
  17. Have no idea tbh. Waiting to see what happens with the start of the tour as the first night is hours away

    And it’s now confirmed then!
  19. Here is the second track from the new era! Dropping on time for the tour to start

    https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIGL4JxCxED/ Not long now!! Wonder if this is a teaser of a new song as well 🤔🤔
  21. Entirely nonsensical whataboutism that is divorced from reality. Honestly guys it’s not even worth the time

    They picked a huge venue, I’m really surprised they didn’t go for Metropol or Huxleys
  23. LOL k I work in indirect taxes for a Big 4 firm, I’ve forgotten more about tariffs than you’ll ever be able to comprehend but go off hun, I do enjoy a chuckle on my commute

    They’re being advertised in Berlin 😍😍😍😍 Saw this at my local station this morning
