Now I feel very old

Not far off. About that but a little bit more. I'm still young enough to be referred to as young, but it happens less and less often nowadays

 

hardly out of nappies then....

Alright, 36 ... but still nice to read about what you think about life.

I notice Fat Controller that you also have similar stresses in life, one being not being able to buy your own home, but you work to make a good life for yourself and your family and I admire you for that!

We have what we have through hard work, nothing given to us, forfeit of holidays, no weekly outings to the pubs/clubs ... but we are enjoying the fruits of our labours now! It was worth it I can assure you!

100% credit to you guys ...

 

Updated my workshop radio a few years back



Still going strong, down side is you have to wait 3 minutes for warm up

 

I'll buy that My birth certificate would suggest otherwise but I think 36 is a better offer

 

Must take my Hi Fi speakers back to the manufacturers sometime for a once over. B & W DM2As 1970. The last time I took them back to Brighton, they fixed 'em for free. I hope they don't keep them this time and put them in a museum! The foam behind the grilles has disintegrated completely!

I have an Armstrong 626 as well. I think the capacitor? is playing up. (it crackles) but then I don't have a clue about electronics.

I have a Sony TC160 Cassette Deck as well. It played up a year ago (that means it wouldn't play ) so I put in a new elastic band. It runs a treat now. Elastic band technology is brill! Can't beat it.

 

Oh, I have a Marantz Record Deck. That's not working at the moment: must have a delve into it some time.

And have a Pye Record Deck from 1954 that plays 78s. Unfortunately someone borrowed my 78s (all 2 of them) and I can't find him to get them back. Grrrr!

 

Okay then, do we go for 37?

 

Still trying to get the Clueless age but I am sure it is in the mid/late 30s, ie, age NOT year of birth ...

fc ... I just admire you and what you are trying to achieve, as does our clueless person. You guys WILL get there I know because of your tenancity and bless you both ... xx

Lets make a game of it then. Here's some clues.

I was born in Yorkshire, but left Yorkshire without moving at the age of 4. In the year of my birth, sadly, Carl Douglas was lying. I remember when you could buy a sweet for half a pence, but not a ha'penny. I went to school before Maggy Thatcher Milk Snatcher earned that nickname. I vividly remember the government lie proclaiming that 'This is the age of the train'.

 

Are you 38, then?

 

Sorry, the bf has just spent the last 4 mins proving the extreme erroneousness of that conclusion. He thinks you're 42. I just don't know any more!!
