Yes . Although the first was fully intact and sold to be as working , but only barely lol!Originally Posted by Macca
To be honest Martin , I have no great interest in spending loads on a turntable (not that I cant afford to though) .
Both Aiwas are lucky finds , I decided I liked the first one enough to buy this as a spare or vice versa. Direct drive , not quartz lock , less to go wrong ,but still steady enough on speed , semi auto, and I love the look of them !!! Just need to clear the others out to make some room
I only ride 'em, I don't know what makes 'em work

It does seem somewhat draconian as well as being ironic, in that their pension scheme depends on investment in the tobacco industry.

Yes, no doubt some 'holier than thou' policy committee placing unnecessarily difficult demands on employees.

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

I retired over 10 years ago, the company that I worked for had banned smoking anywhere on the large site. And, there were plenty of open spaces around the many buildings there.
Being a non smoker, I was not bothered, but smokers found this very difficult.

As smokers are very much in the minority these days they're always going to be shit on by committees. If I was on a committee I would propose the banning of alcohol during lunch breaks and people with comb-overs, but then I would be outnumbered there too.
It won't end with smokers - next up will be employees who drive to work. Everyone will be forced to cycle, walk or take public transport.
