    Fitted out as a one bed / studio this would sell in the low end of £200-300k If you're a property developer 30k for the land actually seems cheap.

  • Who popularised the 1980s ballad upward key change?

    Yes that's exactly the pattern I'm talking about. The upwards change is only used at the end where it's used twice. "I just called" is from 1984 though. Through digging around the earliest I've found the style is in Penny Lane 1967. Am a bit on the fence about that though as the key shifts a lot through the song, but there's a definite key change up for emphasis on the last chorus.

    Agree. But mine is a question about style as much as anything. It's use in 80s ballads is distinctive. Same key throughout song then a singular upshift for the last verse / chorus. I'm not referring to music that modulates throughout the whole piece, or makes a change near the end having done it in several other places.

  • Anyone working as a freelancer here? Do you have liability insurance regarding your work? Why?/Why not?

    Every client I've ever had in the UK has required my service company to have indemnity insurance.

    It's even more important if you're a sole trader because your liability is not limited. If you royally screw something up and get sued, all your assets are on the line.

    Indemnity insurance covers you to a certain amount (usually 1,5, or 10 million). And working through a limited company further limits you to losing only what's in the company, not your personal assets like your home.

  • Modulation / key changes have been used in music for ages but the style I'm talking about is the distinctive last verse (or chorus) sudden key change up to power through to the end. Seems to have come about sometime in the 60s/70s and was everywhere in the 80s onwards. Examples: Heaven is a place on earth - Belinda Carlisle I will always love you - Whitney Houston But who popularised it? What was the first big song to do it and set the style for the genre?

    No need to straw man, we were having a sensible discussion.

    The abstract is all I was referring to.

    Our closest primate relatives exhibit the same behaviours that primitive patriarchal human societies exhibited. I offer that as evidence that part of this terrible behaviour is biologically based.

    Evidence is required if one wants to assert it is all cultural.

    That's what I used to be able to do. It was pressing the back and cancel buttons in some combination brought up a hidden menu where you could reset the toner levels. You can still bring the menu up on mine but now it ignores any reset you do.

    Firing from a populated residential area in order to use civilians as a shield is commonly accepted as a war crime.

    I'm sure Israel eagerly awaits Hezbollah's summons to the Hague.

    I'm the meantime, if you fire a rocket at another country, it's going to get blown up no matter where it is.

    With Apple it's just sunk cost fallacy / Stockholm syndrome. Maybe you like apple products, that's fine. But when you're later confronted with almost £1000 for a monitor stand the mind needs to choose between i) I'm a mug and these people have clearly taken advantage of me or ii) no, this is a superior product, I'm a superior consumer, those poor chumps just can't see it.

    There isn't really an in-between.

    Brother invalidates its laser cartridges after a certain number of revolutions irrespective of how much toner is left. You used to be able to override this manually but they removed that in a software update recently. Am livid. If you know different do you mind sharing what model you have?
