15C, blue sky with some scattered cloud.

Ugggh! ;)

Curious combination of musicians there Dom.

Ah yes - calamine lotion. And get yourself the jab. Shingles is very unpleasant. I had it in my late forties; it affected one side of my face,...

What I predicted in post no. 10! This is now post no. 148! :doh:

Three good ones there Adrian.

Shingles is highly contagious, so if you come into contact with a sufferer then you could pick it up. With those who had chicken pox as a child,...

On paper they look great and I admire the cosmetics. Would like to see one in the flesh, so to speak, to see how the orange back lighting looks. I...

I think I 'm due for all of those boosters in November. Steve, did you catch chicken pox as a child? If you didn't, then you don't really need a...

Me neither!

What did you buy at the record fair Steve?

Go back far enough and you can add Greece and Mongolia to the list.

There is the Denon PCL-5 die-cast magnesium headshell which weighs in at 6.5g. They are still available used on ebay and go for less than that ADC...

I had a few of those, but gave them away. You would have difficulty finding a headshell as light as that of the SME S2 (6g including the cartridge...

Same poxy weather here as well. Just come back from a boot sale - not a good idea what with the occasional light rain and the wind, but we made a...

It's for record enthusiasts who live in the southern hemisphere. :lol:

I bought them a long time ago; between twenty and fifty years. The EMT was a bit of a "bucket list" item, and in retrospect I probably wouldn't buy...

Well in the case of the three turntables, they are no longer made but are still sought after. A typical price is around three grand. I paid less...

Hi Bev, It's been a long time since you last posted - what have you been up to? If you want to contact either Marco or Del, you will have to...

5 turntables! :eek: I thought I was a bit mad in having 4 of them, worse still 3 of them are the same model. :doh:

P J Harvey is one of my favourite lady singers. :)

Nice choice Steve. I like a bit of "Orange juice" myself.

Same here. We intend to go to a boot sale tomorrow, but I think it will be rained off.

8C and foggy.

'Safe as Milk' is a good, if challenging debut. Some think that Beefheart parodied the Blues (Howling Wolf in particular) but I believe he was...

I used to walk to work as it was only about half a mile from home. If I drove the car would have hardly warmed up, so only drove if it was raining or...

Also people don't use their drives anymore, preferring to leave their cars out on the road. This effectively halves the width of the road, making...

I gave up with having fresh milk left by the milkman years ago. Despite my leaving notes to say "No milk today Thank you", a fresh pint of milk was...

Are you going to get yourself a copy Alex? You won't be disappointed. :)

Rush hour seems to start earlier and earlier. I tend to avoid driving in the mid afternoon as the schools finish, and the parents waiting to collect...
