Sending best wishes to Judas Priest's Richie Faulkner who has gone to hospital mid-tour with “major medical heart condition issues”.

Amazing update on Richie today - he was so close to dying on stage.

Very annoying.

AliExpress now add a 20% tax (UK VAT) to your Shopping Cart, no matter what the cost of your item.

In theory you shouldn't have to pay duty on items under £135 in value so how this is justified I'm not quite sure.

They're all being forced into it by HMRC.

Thanks Brian. I realised it summed me up quite well

Heard recently about the new TAD R1 speakers which interested me, at least academically
Then I saw the price
£91,495

That is too much

My E1s are 'enough' and wonderful

'Course if them R1s came up dead cheap somewhere

Mind you what is dead cheap when the retail is 91 grand ?
Even half price is still way too much

Good as I'm sure they are, worth over four times more than my Ushers? Unlikely.
