    train line did so well it was extended and goes now from glasgow to edinburgh. was on it a few times until i got really disabled. now its too much of a stretch for me really. walking isnt my strong point and they rarely have any staff to help you set a scooter on etc, or just tell you to piss off and the ramp doesnt work. same with the busses. so without my car im stuffed..

    Vindicated.
    Kouros is Greek for a youth, or a pubescent boy (especially one of noble rank) - which you might have been in 1980.

    I always assumed it was just a made up word. I suppose now I know what it means I should switch to Palios.

    I've never in my life bought aftershave, but had it bought for me at Christmas. The last one (something expensive) about 15 years ago. It'll be in the bedroom somewhere, though by now it probably smells like a Greek pubescent boy.
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.
    Speakers: Zu Omen Def, REL T9i subwoofer. Cables: Atlas Equator interconnects, Atlas Hyper 3.0 speaker cables

    T'other system:
    Echo Dot, Amptastic Mini One,Arcam A75 integrated, Celestion 5's, BK XLS-200 DF

    A/V:
    LG 55" OLED, Panasonic Blu Ray, Sony a/v amp, MA Radius speakers, REL Storm sub

    Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.

    21C and murky. Feels very mild and a bit humid.

    Palios = 'Old' as opposed to Kouros = 'Young'

    Although looking it up I see that the word 'Kouros' is actually specific to a type of Greek statue.
