‘Please will you play “……..” for us at the Cavern on Friday?’ It makes me so happy this is essentially still a thing! I live near enough to Liverpool to be a regular in the Cavern, I’m obsessed with the place. The artists who play in there now are really good, some of them are VERY good. You can still ask them to play your requests in advance, only difference is it’s now messaging on Instagram!

FOOD DISCOURSE: reblog with ur opinions on guacamole, olives, mango, hummus, tomatoes, and cannolis

This. So this. My parents fall into this trap of thinking from time to time too. They always say they didn’t spend much money when they were young, no treats etc., yet I was having a conversation with my mum the other day about what I take into work for lunch with me and she just said so offhand ‘oh we used to go the cafe down the road every day when I was in my 30s’. And I was like wait whattt??? To which she said ‘oh it was cheap, it was only just this little cafe, nothing special. But now even just the little independent cafes down the road are expensive. No one could just afford to go there every lunchtime. I don’t have a single colleague who goes out to buy lunch instead of bringing in food from home. That’s the thing, previous generations did spend money, did buy commodities which could have been cheaper, but they were so cheap already they could afford it and didn’t need to think about it. They could afford the coffee, just as they could afford the house. Just as they could afford to go watch their football team every weekend instead of spending a fortune on streaming the matches because even that is still cheaper than a ticket. Rant over.
