It was actually really good, the weather was great - even though the BBC basically had a weather warning all week and we decided to ignore it. There were about a dozen swallows swooping around and they were just the most gorgeous petrol blue colour. Really quiet up there too, which I guess was a combination of a work day, not yet full summer hols, bad weather forecast. I did also find a ‘new’ second hand vinyl shop. It had the whitest collection of records I’ve ever seen. I’m not suggesting it was deliberate, but I couldn’t find a record by a black artist. It was essentially, Cliff, Beach Boys, Elvis, a lot of Queen but by far the biggest section was ‘N’ which must have been close on the complete works of Neil Diamond. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never found anything to buy in there There's a decent one in Abergavenny, lots of jazz and soundtracks and a decent new wave/ punk / alternative section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d not been in there before and I wouldn’t bother a second time. I’ve kinda spent my record money for this month twice over already, but checked it out just in case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Grandson lasted 10 minutes of the England match. 8pm kickoff got the better of him and now in bed. BBC4 is on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well he lasted 9 minutes 45 longer than I did. I put ITV on at 7:00 and the first three comments from their commentary team were versions of ‘this is the oldest game’ like none of them had checked what each other was going to say. So i turned it over and watched some news. At exactly 8:00 I said to Mrs Chrispy that I’d give it another try but would turn it off as soon as or if they mentioned ‘oldest fixture’. Turned it over, the match was literally kicking off and the commentator was in the middle of saying ‘…1872…’ And now we’re listening to Adele as a preference to ITV football commentary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He obviously knew it would be a pile of shit! Good judge of a game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I found a channel called ‘Yesterday’ and it’s basically oldbloke tv, right now, its a programme about finding and auctioning old cars, but it looks like they also have some programmes about trains and some programmes about nazi’s.

Popular Post trekka Posted June 18, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2021 The first time in like 18 months that I've had a few pints in a few pubs with friends I haven't seen in a long time. We had a meal, we went to a few old historic boozers and had a nice time. All very careful with the social distancing etc and hats off to the people who work in these places to make us all feel (and be, as much as possible) safe. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Big Salad Posted June 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) Tomorrow is Father's Day here in the States and it will be the first time I have seen my dad in person for almost a year. Was hard for him to travel due to COVID, him actually getting COVID, and also him living across the country in Oregon so will be nice to see him and enjoy the festival I am going too with him, etc. We Skype all the time, but nothing beats in person.

chrisp65 Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 I’ve booked a trip to the recycling centre for 4:30 tomorrow. A high risk strategy given that the game starts at 5:00pm but I get the impression I might be the only person there and I can just sling it all over the fence.

One of the good points of Covid is you don’t get the staff lurking by the “anything that can’t be recycled” skip telling you to separate it all out.
