I've never bought a record.
Should I talk about my Dad's Bob Dylan and Beatles records?

Morning all Work is mentally busy at the moment. Which is good. I like records and still have a turntable. (or deck as the kids say) I'm particularly fond of my Two Tone collection, I have everything and most of the singles I bought on the day of release. They have very special memories for me. I also have all the Dickies singles and albums on coloured vinyls (except Manny, Moe and Jack which was only ever on a black vinyl, tsk) There you go Tone

Morning. What's a record? Mind you, I am not very up there with all the latest developments. I have an I-pod shuffle that I lost long ago without even using and am thinking of getting a CD 'Walkman' (I think that used to be the term to take on hols. I can remember them introducing cds on one of those kids morning programmes.

Good Morning
Today is the last Friday I'm at work. The next 2 are bank holidays don'tcha know?
I have very few records. I sold the bulk of my collection for £200 when I was skint. I still have boxes and boxes of casette tapes in the garage and even more boxes of CDs. I have whole walls covered with racks of classical CDs. Yet I mostly listen to the radio these days.
Buying new records was always exciting. When I lived with my parents they had an old fashioned front room where the Deccasound music system lived. When I wanted to listen to a new album I'd shut myself in there and lie on the floor with a speaker either side of my head. Don't worry - these things were only about 8wpc so I was never likely to injure myself. I can remember hearing some great albums for the first time that way: Dylan - Nashville Skyline Spirit - The 12 Dreams of Dr Sardonicus Stevie Wonder - Talking Book and Innervisions. Life was so much simpler then FFS.
Cheese spread on toast. Dress down Friday featuring "retirement socks" of orange, red, black and grey hoops. Yahoo!!

Morning
Last day at work before Easter YAY! But crazy busy tying up lose ends and to add to my misery my TV and Broadband is out so I have to be at home between 12-4pm FFS why can't these coonts ever give a time, or at least a phone call an hour before to say, I'll be with you around 2pm FFS! Basically I'll leave here at 1145 and have to come back after the engineer has been out, god knows what time I'll get away!

Good Morrow internet mongs Nice socks, O Spotted one!! Sussex(E) is overcast but sun promised for later. Golf on the West course this afternoon. I want to digitise all our vinyl and am looking for a good machine to do it on - a friend has offered to lend me one so I'll give it a try when I can find the time. Between us we have some incredible stuff which ought to be listened to more often - including one of those limited edition' Beatles original master tapes' set. I never have thrown a vinyl album away - I've lost some over the years (mainly lent and never returned however I did, foolishly, give away a lot that I thought I had outgrown in my 30s) and I have some which are probably well worn and virtually unplayable but just by holding them I get memories of where and when I bought/played them. Lots of cassettes too but they don't have that magic that vinyl does. Toast n'PG; green/lilac/black hoops; Essential Blues Anthology Have a good day, y'all

good morning all, sunny and bright in the land of the east angles. Only 4 days into the school holiday and I'm already looking forward to them going back breakfast tea and toast you want records...here's one 6/5/1954 Roger Bannister became the first man to run the mile in under 4 mins. 3mins 59.4 secs in fact.... fully expecting Roy Castle to appear singing record breakers ;D ;D

Morning figpuckers... Today is grey and coontly - I was told about a meeting this morning at 8.30 just after I left work yesterday, and it's only just finished, so I'm only just finishing my brekkie...and I've been deluged with a whole barrage of shit deadlines into the bargain. Looks like I might have to work over the weekend now , which is supergreat seeing as I've already bought my Brizzle ticket. The wedding bank holiday is looking unlikely for me too Suppuratingcoontygashflaps! I still have some records, mainly of 60s/70s stuff.... Marmite, coffee, bush animal socks, the smell of fear and anger, dead.

Morning. Dad's funeral yesterday. Feeling totally drained this morning. Also feeling VERY argumentative, as MrsC will testify to. Will be travelling home later today. Glad there is a home match tomorrow to focus on. I need the normality of matchday routine. Hopefully I will return to normal on here next week, but at the moment I have zero sense of humour. Another cup of tea might help.

Howdy. In Geneva all morning for a meeting at a nice place overlooking the lake. Windy day and choppy waters reminded me some of the Solent at certain times. Thoughts are with you Channers. I did quite a bit of LP selling and buying at some record store (2nd hand I think) in Carnably Street in 75-76. I still have about 300 of them in boxes. Some I have renewed into e-format. Most were already on tape and I've moved alot of that over to mp3. I still have some albums to do onto MP3. Are they worth anything these days? I saw the Jerry Garcia "Garcia" (with the playing card and the finger) is goint for $67 on Amazon. I've got that one. Anybody got it in mp3? I have great memories of listening to albums and actually studying the cover (after using it to roll up). Who studies covers these days? Then I got bored having to change sides every 15 or 20 minutes and cassettes ruled. Now I just play the ipod and never have to change sides. Lazy I know, but I am lazy.
