Thought Id start this one going because its rather dead on this board at the moment and I suppose all my usual muckers are either at the Stella tennis event watching Dim Tim (lose again) or at Henly Regatta eating cucumber sandwiches (they wish,...NOT).

Anyway please feel free to just talk to yourself blast away and let it go on any company or subject you wish. Just wish Id thought of this one before.

cheers GF.

assad should be knighted as a hero
come on you yanks support a hero

I bow to your superior knowledge on such things Alf.. yes I am prepared to make a rare exception on this occasion -):

Actually thinking about it so do I Fred.

"assad should be knighted as a hero" .. well he was a mate of our Queen piece was he not in the past?

but what was on the other side of that 78?
damned if i can remember

One of the enduring sights of my time in Texas was seeing the space shuttle racing across the sky, like a flaming meteorite, to land at the Kennedy Space Centre in Florida about 12 mins later.
A regular non-stop flight from Miami to DallasFortWorth takes about 3h 15 mins. Gives an idea of the incredible speeds involved on re-entry and landing.

78 !! you old git !!!!

it was pre-vinyl
i'm not sure it wasn't bakelite for they were certainly very brittle

fred'll know

Did you have to turn a handle to listen to it ?
