20. #NIN - Ruiner (Version)

Backtrax record shop, Leicester 1995, I asked Brian what he was playing when I heard this. "NIN" he replied. "Cobblers" said I, then at 2m 25s it kicked off. "There you go" said Brian, "business as usual"... 😂

Who do you think SHOULD look at these measures? Grocers? Cobblers? Paleontologists?

Cobblers are more associated with bollox than shoe repair in this day & age.

In Toronto the only cobbler I know of is in the Hydro Building food court.

Having listened to a good few @smerelman.bsky.social episodes these past few days, I'm having a Wednesday night Bond on DVD, Tomorrow Never Dies, an entertaining lot of old old cobblers that shows the dangers of poor delegation.

I've repaired my boots three times and tripled their cost! It would be cheaper to buy them new each time, which really says something about how we value different labor. Also... all cobblers are grumpy, probably for this very reason, but I've never met a happy cobbler!

Surely it's been obvious for years the BBC board isn't a force for good? The Tories stuffed it with ultra right wingers, and even before that the BBC were entranced by Nigel Farage, Boris Johnson, Nick Griffin etc, and allowed through some shockingly ignorant cobblers in programmes like Panorama.
The BBC needs to urgently review its board structure as to its ability to respond to an existential threat. There are multiple credible reports that board members involved in its response aren’t on-side. There are allegations some leaked. And the response has been slow and disjointed throughout.

I don’t take too many pictures of what I cook, but I do have this: Mini Peach Cobblers

As we ate lunch (ravenous after trip to penguin rookery at St Andrews Bay) sailed to Godthul for zodiac trip to Rookery Point (gentoos, albatrosses, terns). Back via Cobblers Cove (blocked by an iceberg). Currently en route to Cumberland Bay. #ShackeltonFootsteps

Where's the rest of Team Pears (over apples) for holiday crisps and cobblers?

Cobblers should give you a loaner shoe while they’re fixing yours

Cobblers player ratings v Shrewsbury. Far from vintage in terrible conditions but some bright individual performances. Fairly easy choice for MOTM though #ntfc
Northampton Town player ratings from EFL Trophy win over Shrewsbury Town
Conor McCarthy scored a late winner, Lee Burge notched an assist and Jon Guthrie returned from 10 months out as Cobblers beat Shrewsbury Town in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday.

Keston Cobblers' Club - One, For Words (2012)

Does anybody know this band? I saw them live when the record came out, but haven't followed their career since then. They make a kind of traditional folk music with pop melodies and use a variety of instruments.

That Grandpa had the option to have his shoes repaired is everything, like even ignoring how that is often impossible for folks now w/ fewer cobblers around, cheap modern shoes literally *can't* be repaired bc they're junk. I've tried bringing some to the few cobblers I still know & they just shrug.

He's not saving that. That's cobblers. He isn't blocking his view.

Not in a load of weird cobblers about God or godawful characters or putting some miserable stamp on things because your ego comes first over good storytelling.

"No warmth could warm, no wintry weather chill him"
Reece will bring the Yorkshire moors chill to a character as deep as a reservoir, as sharp as a cobblers knife.
Misery to mirth in three ghostly steps.
To make us hate you
Then journey with you
Cobbled streets of fear to joy
That echo dickens time

even in the most superficial way, yes. cobblers don't work for free

Right?

Do I want to lose the shoe-shine men and cobblers? No.

Was it a great living? Not really, but it was an adequate one, and secure enough. It was accessible to immigrants and people who had to quit school, and could support a family and get the kids into college. And we don’t have those now.

I repaired my sweater today (jumper to those who speak traditional English).

Sometimes I have to bring a bit of science to the utter cobblers posted on social media. Just a bit. This person thinks nowt collides with earth. Um…

Don't give me none of that "I hadn't been born yet" cobblers, neither
