Reading back, I have to agree with Jim on one thing, Berlin is awesome!!!! I would disagree with the remastered stuff though it takes away from the 'feel' ,when it's on Vinyl it makes sense if that makes sense? I'm a huge Elvis fan but Vinyl crackle is way better than remastered IMO

I've just wished someone on WhatsApp a 'Happy Noxing Day' and the spell checker missed it...

I guess they'd best drink a glass of Adblue to make it a De-Noxing Day... :lol:

Happy Boxing Day one and all :D

Though I don't get a lot of crackle, I have to agree in that I find vinyl mostly more engaging - and that, in the end, is what listening to music is all about :)

Happy Christmas one and all :-D

Today I went to Kingston (a locality within Milton Keynes and not Jamaica) to do my last bit of Christmas shopping - couldn't yesterday due to bad ears and concomitant balance issues - so delayed it by a day...

I gave up. At 10:30 in the morning the queue was stretched out to Broughton (about a mile up the road) just to get into the car parks of the shopping complex!

I couldn't believe it... If that was what one of the smaller MK shopping complexes was like, I shudder to think what the big city-centre one was like...

I've told the family Christmas this year may have a small renaissance in early January after I've managed to get to the shops with reasonable ease and without having to fight through thousands of grockels just to park my car :evil:

Bah bloody Humbug indeed :twisted:

Apart from that, I really do quite enjoy Christmas nowadays...

Just been to our local Lidl, the biggest in the area. A but busy at the checkouts but not a lot slower that usual. Five minutes at the most.
Car park serves Lidl, Greggs, One Beyond and a huge B&M and was only about half full.
Usually busier on a normal Sunday.

They got some further orders from me late this morning!
