Just seen the news..... sad but so many memories snd influences. 73 is not ancient these days but for me, as a lover of electronic music from so many places and decades so much came out of Germany and Dusseldorf was a centre for a while. I even got close to seeing them live in London in 1981 -...

The passing of a beautiful Bond Character.... RIP

Time to dump Amazon. I bought 2 x 24” pickers from Amazon, for a couple of elderly neighbours tohelp them get things off the floor etc. £3.59 each. Delivered to my house - one double wrapped in thick plastic bags, the second a day later in a huge cardboard box with the picker encased in heavy...

Very sad - I remember watching the World Cup final on TV, in black and white, and leaping in the air when the game fished but the radio was on in my grandfather’s room as he preferred to listen than watch! Silly man but our front room was full and we even had the local priest in our own crowd...

Weird but thanks to you, a result was forthcoming [emoji818]️ I cannot be rrrsed to convert my CDs, I did a huge FLAC conversion a couple of years back but the files are on a 4 HDD network drive. I am loath to muck about so a case of CDs is OK. Ty hey are peanuts to buy if they get broken. I...

That looks the business! I had hunted through EBay but must have missed this! Thanks for that! As usual, a forum help shout yields a perfect answer! Steve

Help! Showing my ignorance and in the middle of a busy commission - I have borrowed my eldest son’s Peugeot 5008 on and off since he normally uses a company van to do installations. I like my music when I am on the move but the 5008 only has a USB socket for media. I must be getting old but...

Back in the day I managed the operations for the ministerial cars , which in ghe mid 1980s were Jag 4.2s and Austin Ambassadors! Eventually Rover 827, Montegos, Mondeos and Cavaliers. Then the green agenda took off and the Toyota Prius arrived - Whole Life Anaysis? Less particulate but offset...

Not sure I need to make my confession public..... been off the forum a good while as I am building an extension on my retirement h ok me in Ireland! Finally retired my 3 year old Diesel Ford Kuga.... will miss it. So it has been replaced by a Peugeot 5008 SUV, 1.6 130 1.2 Diesel. I actually...

Sad A master of the dark character RIP

Just heard Sad but given he had a lung transplant last year and survived as long as he did, major respect to one of the greats - he made 70 years of age! RIP

The 22 is a cracker. I bought 2 when they were on the bay as ‘splits’ from Far East kit packs. They sere £60-70 then!.

Well I am heading to Ireland for the start of spring. Maybe something will spark. Steve

Dave Damn, I thought it was just me! The weather in Canada was wild, very cold and beautiful - my cousin lent me a brilliant 4x4 which had an uprated heater and brilliant tyres but I stayed in my hotel room with it’s log fire...... When the mojo goes........ S

Need a kick to restart my M mojo. I went to Canada for a long stay, took all my M set, faced some extreme cold winter days in Northern Quebec and...... nothing. Truly stuck in a rut of photography disinterest. So, with M5 and M50 bodies plus M lenses, oodles of batteries. The winter scenes...
