I had a chat with my youngest grandchild this evening. He lives in Barnstaple and I live near Accrington. Video calling is a wonderful thing 😀

I use Wahl clippers too. Haven’t been to a barber’s shop for as long as I can remember.

Can you imagine this lot on here having to pay for five rcbo’s 🤣

I’ve recently installed a new ring main in our living room. It’s a big room and the alternative was two 4mm radials so I thought if I’m going to run two legs I might as well install a ring. A pair of 2.5s is so much easier to get into a 25mm back box. Old habits die hard I’m afraid. The music...

We’re all going to get a stab at it so you just have to accept it and put it to the back of your mind. When my mum was dying from cancer she told me not to get upset as she had no fear of dying. She said she wanted to be wide awake to experience the journey to the other side. Her strength has...

My dad made 93. He was fortunate that though he had some hard times he had a good life and a good innings. He was a lucky man and I shed no tears at his passing.

I quite like the Doobie Brothers 🙂

I prefer vinyl but we listen to cd more because it’s just so much easier.

Waxoyl for me too and has been for fifty odd years.

I like to think that when I’m using a manned till that I’m helping to keep someone in a job. I know I’m wasting my time but I get that feeling of wellbeing for a few milliseconds 🙂

My Jolidas are 220v. My mains supply is consistent at 245v. I did raise that with the dealer I bought them from and he assured me they would be fine. That was twelve years ago and they’re still going strong.

My valve monos are Chinese. I’ve owned them for twelve years or so and they’ve been faultless. I did treat them to some new output valves a few years ago. They didn’t need them, I just fancied trying out some new ones. I reckon there’s good stuff and bad stuff wherever you buy from. You just...

I tried the two arm thing and it didn’t work for me so I have two turntables in my main system instead. One turntable sports a mc cartridge, the other is mm and each has its own phono stage which just makes things so much easier.

I think was Judd was a bit unfortunate mind.

Ronnie was rather fortunate mind.
