    [QUOTE=Pigmy Pony;1031164]That's a pretty good claim to fame!

    Mine is that I had a mate at school whose uncle went to see The Beatles but missed his train so went to the pub instead. Actually the lad was a friend of my brother's, not me. So a bit tenuous.

    I once met Gary Glitter in a hotel lift...does that count?[/QUOTE]

    Did you want to be in his band? His band?

    I received a copy of The Beatles ( 2014 white album, mono, analog) the other day, but sadly another warped example of a new record being exchanged.

    I wonder if maybe the record manufacturers aren't taking the 'vinyl revival' seriously, of just see it as a passing fad, and so aren't prepared to commit any money to improving/replacing equipment, and training up staff.

    One of my new purchases this Christmas was so warped along its edge, my pickup was nodding more than Noddy Holder in the land of Nod. Oi Churchill, is this yet another crappy pressing? Ooh, yes!

    I am begining to wonder, it seems more and more modern releases (bearing in mind this is 180g vinyl) are for some reason warping.

    storage and transportation is often an issue too. most warps are caused by being stored flat often near a heat source

    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!”
