Every Sunday night when I was growing up my dad, and then later on, my sister, religiously recorded the top 40 off the radio. At one point we must have had every top 40 from about 1978 to 1988. Almost needed an extra spare bedroom to store all of the tapes! Those didn't exist in 1971! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's odd, but I'm sure I know someone who worked on the original Shazam (2580), but it's so long ago that I don't remember who that might have been. What sorcery is this? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted March 23, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted March 23, 2023 (edited) So the IDKWTCH and I have bought a house. Great, fantastic, very excited about it. But I've done everything. I found the house, arranged the viewings, made the offer (via auction), found the solicitors etc etc. I've even done all of the decorating planning. I've also paid for absolutely everything. Literally. She'll be paying the mortgage with me, but absolutely everything else so far, including the whole deposit, has been paid by me. Nothing about the above pisses me off. I know the scenario, I'm happy to do it. What pisses me off is I was meant to email the solicitor yesterday and I was so busy at work I forgot so didn't do it. I'll do it today. Get home from work and end up in a massive argument because she's pissed off about me not emailing. THAT pisses me off. And I don't think it should be in this thread Edited March 23, 2023 by Stevo985 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I applaud your financial commitment to the little man and his mother, and then getting an ear bending as thanks. It’s for that reason I’d personally be wanting things to be a bit more split down the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember this huge tank of a guy coming in and just generally looking intimidating as ****. He then asked me if I knew this thing that had been going round in his head. I expected it to be some crap pop-rap stuff which I wouldn't know, causing him to lamp me, but it turns out it was Vangelis Conquest of Paradise. I recognised it and found it for him. He had the biggest grin ever. Good times. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
