The kitchen bin has now been drafted to join the fight...

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?

So frustrating trying to just get mp3's now. Can't buy them and just have them. Got to sign up to apple or amazon music.

I'd rather bring back CD's that this crap now
