    Quite happy

    My daughter bought me a set of Sony wireless headphones. My son has got me subscribed to Google play. Currently listening to Piper at the Gates of Dawn.

    I'm stone cold sober and tripping.
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

    Time to chuck out your old Sony Walkman, eh Grandad?

      Father's Day isn't until next week; this must be a holding present for the proper one

      (well, that's what my Dad would say!)

        Got various old Pink Floyd LPs, too much hassle to play 'em. Must get summit less dinosaury. CDs probably advanced enough for me.

          Holdover from my birthday. we don't bother with card manufacturer celebrations. It's kind of nie, because I'm happy to have it, but it's not something I'd buy for myself.

            Continuing on the theme, I just treated myself to one of these:
            Roger Waters P-bass

            I am also quite happy.

              You should find out what they're worth:

              And that's in a charity shop

                Surrounded by a horde of Very Expensive audio equipment, none of which is connected up or been used for years.

                I suspect the Garrard 301 is the most valuable due to its popularity with the Golden Eared ones.

                Still gutted I can no longer obtain a proper Shure replacement stylus for the V15III.

                I noticed that they're selling DSOTM lps in Morrisons.

                A mere £17.

                Which is cheap compared with what it cost back in the day.
                When the fun stops, STOP.

                  Gordon Bennet! Another good reason not to play them any more.

                    and i, also am happy to report that my yamaha lekky drumkit survived the shipping and a year in storage, and is now lovingly ensconced in my garage.
                    should i change my name to joe? <for all the zappa fans out there>
