Random musings and general banter.

“hand me down pieces that will be in your family for generations” …they’re a Heritor mate. Be lucky if they they last to the end of next week.

Was talking about all this with a work colleague the other day. I'm SOooo glad I grew up in the 70s/80s, many happy memories of popping down the high street to check out the latest LPs, singles and music on cassette. And looking at the packs of blank audio and video cassettes deciding which brand to buy.

Yes there's obviously a degree of rose-tinted glasses, however on balance I'm pleased I grew up in the pre Internet era.

Do you remember limited edition records pressed on coloured vinyl, and picture discs?

My late mum used to get through a lot of blank audio tapes because she used to record songs from Radio 2 and later Capital Gold. She had dozens of them so always had plenty of music to listen to.

I've got fond memories of record shops, we had an Our Price in my high street, I was always in there. And Woolworths of course.

'Thank you Muttley from Hull'

It's not me, I'm watching a programme on C5 about Hampton Court.

I've turned it off after his snogfest with Natalia and her belt that he's had 'for two weeks.....err 14 days'

Going into Woolworths finding the case of a album you want, take it to the counter, after 10 minutes of trying to find it, you would get a sorry we can’t find it

Love that, in our Woolworth you always had to check that it was the correct record, they were always putting the wrong album in the sleeve. Happy memories...

Crikey, according to Natalia the ‘ slimming’ belt may just cure everything. ‘. It shrinks your stomach so that you don’t need to eat as much’ and you’ll become addicted to it’. What a complete load of utter cobblers. Apparently even when you take it off your muscles will still be contracting through the day. I can’t believe she just said that.

I remember squeeze used to have coloured singles - I think it was pink for cool for cats and purple for up the junction - loved them

Peter and Natalia, what a cringe fest.

I notice there is a Robot Vac on at 9pm

Snog fest have I missed them kissing

Can’t they lay off the beauty stuff? Run out of canes?

 

[Slipalong Trevaskis]

I bet you still have to supervise it whilst cleaning.

My Dad used to take me to the Maze. He said: “close your eyes and count to 1000.” When I opened my eyes he was on the 267 back to Hammersmith. I still managed to find my way home, though.

It will easily get stuck on cables, wires, and small foreign objects. The mop feature won't replace a mop, and the dust bin will be small and need to be emptied often.

Depends on what he is demonstrating. It's possible that it's a stand mixer, which indicates that he'll be baking.
