I'm back in for another season. Last year was bad in both Fantasy & real world footie!

Boston's 1st release. The much heralded Wally mastered pressing.

The Looming Tower on Prime is very much worth watching. And I guess it doesn't really need mentioning, but the new season of Bosch is on Prime, too.

Just finished the Netflix show, Shot In the Dark about stringers in L.A. The show follows rival freelance stringers who scour the streets at night looking to film crime scenes, fires, accidents, and anything else they can sell to the media. It's a cutthroat profession that sees the...

A little bit of Mike Slamer, Billy Greer & Steve Walsh in the guise of Streets: And then an eclectic album from Queen; Jazz. The last of THAT classic Queen sound?:

I'm in again.

Booze, booze, booze and an acrylic platter for my record player. I'm a bitch to buy for!!!

An extreme cold warning was issued this morning by Environment Canada for the majority of Alberta. Starting temperature this morning was -24c, with a windchill factor making it feel like -31c; in Edmonton at least. Colder in other parts. The overnight in Edmonton will be -28c, and windchill...

I love the really cold winter's of Edmonton. We generally get bright sun and big blue skies, and as it's a very dry cold it's somewhat bearable. Winter's at half the temperature in Toronto, were just nasty due to the lake effect. It's all about wearing the correct clothing, especially when...

Well, the week is starting off colder than was predicted. At 8.00am, it's currently -17c, with a windchill factor making it feel like -27c; we have strong, 20 to 40km/h NW winds blowing in. -17c is the high today, and by the end of the day we'll be at -19c. Midweek will get even colder...

It's going to be a slightly chilly -10c on the way to work tomorrow morning, and then a real Arctic low is supposed to settle in next week pushing our highs to around -15c and lows of -24c. Can't really complain as November was a decent month with very minimal snowfall. Winter is coming!!!!

I'll be doing all the cooking, as usual. After cooking a whole wild Canada Goose last year, I'm going a little easier this year and doing a simple Beef Wellington for the two of us.Or may just go and get 2 Cornish Hens and have them instead. The more difficult decision will be what wines to open...

Currently got 3 turntables; U-turn Audio Orbit Custom with Grado Black cart is my main TT and is used with only clean records. Hitachi HT-324 with AT-95e cart is an audition machine for newly purchased used records, or if I just want a brighter sound than the Orbit. A newly purchased 3rd TT...

Thanks for setting the league up again; I'm in!!!

I have different tunes for different callers, but my general tune is Z Cars. Rock tunes I use are Red Sharks by Crimson Glory, Cyanide by Metallica, Back in Black by ACDC, and Goody Two Shoes by Adam & The Ants for the missus. Thinking of some Herb Alpert after reading through this thread :)
