Ah there you are. I was thinking of you in Lidl this afternoon. You’ve been modelling again haven’t you
Bob Harris would have died on the spot
Not that I can see
Pardon!! Sounds shit - Nicky who?
I shocked. I thought she was a innocent and sweet as you. Shocked I tell you, shocked
Thought I was being clever, doesn’t happen. You all know it too don’t you Prince - Around The World In A Day, marbled blue vinyl - £45 seems to be the going rate Got a mail from the Prince Store £21 Should have realised shouldn’t I With shipping and tax it’s £44 😬😬 @vinylstupidity.bsky.social
I just couldn’t be arse to faff. Hence, just powered up the XP. I knew it worked
£45 for a single LP. I don’t think so. Shame, I love the album
Ah those were the days Record Co’s had missed tech was moving. In one of many desperate grasps, they tried stopping you ripping, & in some cases even playing, music you’d paid for Sony BMGs version installed a Root Kit & it cost them a fortune Back to XP & old Roxio Early 00s Brick Walling too
My mum did
You’re late fella. They went out while you in Japan. I’m still managing to resist
I’ve shown you mine, now show me yours @vinylcarbooty.bsky.social Look at my lovely, juicy plumbs If the weather stays like this, there will be a ton a Green Tomato Chutney going round
Number 43 & Number 44 are the last ones looking for a new deck to live in - here's the long read on the whole project : drrubberfunk.substack.com/p/i-made-you... #casseptember #mixtape #mylifeat45
Working through a miniDV Job at AVAV Towers today Things really improved when Digital Video came along. Rock solid timing & much better picture Not all Transcription Firms are the same. To get the best quality we use Broadcast Decks & Capture via SDI For the Geeks - Sony DSR-2000P, 1999
“He gently kissed her where she had never been kissed before. He on the other hand, had kissed on the 54 to Clapham Common before.”
By the smug look, it’s post coital & he’s really pleased with his performance. Unfortunately, the cigarette will last longer than he did
Kevin’s ‘ear
Today’s faffing #RetroTech Sanyo Betamax, Betacord 5150 c1983 These are Workhorses & basically the same as a 5100, but with Reverse Play Play testing with Off Air Beta Tape - Thames TV Indent & Benny Hill
Woof
Well, I wake up in the morning, fold my hands and pray for rain
Just how I like it
That’s what you are
Filth Utter filth
Silly mid off
Fuck sake don’t go to Bexhill - they can’t spell for all the ingested Spice
Oh that wonderful Paul Young song…… We didn’t date very long, as you’ll understand
👍
I left all the Dylan Dross. I pointed out to the staff “Best of Bob Dylan is a blank tape” 😉
I’d expect nothing less
Ooh Cassettes spotted in Chazza
I want your Golden Globes, but I guess we’ll both be disappointed then
I left that intentionally, just for you 💋
Perfection.
Oh shit! Any giff is allowed now… Stand aside, I’m coming through
Not ANOTHER new one!!
In Norman’s World, maybe 😉
WRONG!
Having seen the girth, that’s not a disability
Jesus wept. Since when did being a BAFTA Winner get you a Blue Badge?
More proof I’m in the wrong game! £7 for 2 minutes! @golfyfun.bsky.social is dearer, but there is a reason 😉
I’ve fixed it for you “He will always be Warrington Minge to me. I known a few over the years”
This is about as good as Blood Moon is going to get here
Advertised back in September 1987 : "In three years time, TV as we know it will cease to exist" Radio Rentals was talking about technology rather than the 1990 Broadcasting Act. 😁 #80s
Red Sky at night, shepherds house alight Red Sky in the morning, barn still burning
Don’t recognise that one. Does it say Technics? I don’t remember them making one that ugly
I spot a, what do you call it, a Farage of Nonces
“Those were the days” Mr Booty, Sept 7th, 2025
My work here is done
Emergency Test Thingy Visiting Brother in Law from USA - iPhone, Kindle & iPad 👍 UK Users - absolutely nothing. Not a peep on any devices 🤷♂️
You didn’t say you were back in Bexhill
Here's today's show to listen again. See you next week, you excellent sods x www.mixcloud.com/CharityShopC...
74 to 77 so I’m told
That long ago! I’m old! Wasn’t he married to Esther Rantzen?
First sort completed Someone was minted back in the day. 56, yes FIFTY SIX, VCR Format Video Tapes of Star Trek. That would have cost a fortune!! Can’t deny, slightly disappointed they aren’t VCR-LP Format Playing VCR 1700 Cassettes Featuring NCC-1701 On Philips N1702 VCR.. I’m not a Trekkie btw
With any luck🤞
So far, every single one. A miracle eh. Now, if the right tapes are in the right cases…. 🤷♂️
Wife is out. Making start on sorting through mammoth consignment of Philips VCR 1500 Format Video Cassettes I picked up Thurs My buddy said 30 odd Tapes, its more than that There’s some crackers in there. I can’t imagine anything that’s “lost” But Ethel Merman on The Muppet Show is a good start
I could teach you But, I’d have to charge
Sexy bitch
So they’ve used the last CD Remaster Tape then :-)
Jesus H Christ, someone got the bong out again. WTAF!! @webuyrecords.bsky.social @vinylstupidity.bsky.social
Todays #RetroTech National NV 3085 Open Reel Portable Video Recorder, 1974 EIAJ Format, B&W Collected from my buddy on the Coast yesterday. I couldn’t get it going, he’s way cleverer than I, (not difficult I know) He got it going again Working Decks are so rare, pleased to have it running again

But you have those ‘Specialist’ PVC Boots. The Wipe Clean ones
One of mine finally died last week. Really can’t complain, they have lasted very well
Still running the Sanyo 5000?
I did wonder
Well, in my defence, I left behind… U-Matic Machines VHS Decks Philips N1500 Sony 405/625 TV Piles of stuff Therefore, I’m claiming the Loot Run an “Exercise in Restraint” Panasonic EIAJ Open Reel, which is mine & my buddy fixed Sanyo 5150 Beta Box of R2R Tapes Ton of VCR 1500 Video Cassettes
It’s a sad state of affairs when you don’t know if it’s @beanygreen.bsky.social or @golfyfun.bsky.social
Quite frankly mate, I’m fucking stunned you know who he is!! I thought your knowledge of Beach Boys was limited to Ringo. I’m impressed
Strange what fresh eyes see. When I first met the now wife, being American, she’d never seen him before. We were watching something, probably a TOTP2 type thing. He came on & she instantly said “why is he on TV? He’s clearly a molester. Who is he? He’s a monster. They let him near kids?”
Isn’t that what Saville said
Off to the Coast I’m trying to be good. I’m actually going with a load for a change. I know, right, most unusual. We know how it ends….. A Beta Bounty if you like Time will tell #BestOfIntentions
Look ❤️🐾🐾
I’ve already played two of their fine themes on @charityclassics.bsky.social There’s a third lined up ready for the next round
I’d forgotten that one Denton & Cook had a good run, Inc Tomorrow World, as you well know
I can only imagine Thoughts n Prayers
Until this week, it's been impossible to play the games of the 1993 Pioneer LaserActive without one of the vanishingly rare, disintegrating consoles. Here's the story of the guy who's been trying to fix that for years -- and all the hardware and software he had to build to make it possible.
You feeling alright?
Thank you 👍
Or Samsung Vision as it’s already known 😉 I hate their over processed, punchy, image. Controversial I know, but…
Todays #RetroTech Pt 2 Sony BVH 500 Portable 1” C Format Video Recorder Power hungry beast & was heavy to carry around on a Backpack Here it is, running up. Tape Tension & getting Head Drum to speed It’s a Recorder ONLY. Additional kit was needed for playback. Normal another machine was used
Todays #RetroTech Pt 1 Sony BVH 500 Portable 1” C Format Video Recorder, mid 80s Imagine you’re out on an OB Truck, 6am, pissing rain, cold, hands are freezing, you’ve been up since 3am. You’ve now got to lace a tape on this thing! There’s a reason we all liked cassettes & cartridges
SIMON!!
Wey Hey! Thats my era Every Teletext TV had to be on that page at all times. Lead to a few screens being sold with Burn In, but no one ever noticed 🤷♂️
Phil Collins, as it’s signed. #FlipFlip
