Ouch, then again I've an old stack up system, graphic equaliser, multi CD player, record player, radio and.....twin cassette deck with two speakers all stashed in my back bedroom.  

Will have to put it together again one of these days.

I put together an 80s system last year... but didnt bother with cassette as i got rid of all of them... lol except this one.

I really enjoying putting an LP on, listen to it pop and crackly just a little, but i nowhonestlybeleive it is a better sound... cant describe why, its almost like i can hear the different parts of the track more clearly.

Build it and bang on some 33's youll love it (well except for the fact that you have to get up and turn it over every 20 mins lol )

Hart's Hotel in Nottingham.

Did you question the charge? Personally, I never use the coffee facilities because everywhere supplies wanky instant coffee and UHT muck - but it looks like their provision is a cafetière. I could be tempted to pay for that.

If you are someone who uses ear buds for your phone conversations in public places, please stop. 
 

Or if you have your phone at chest height and yell into it to have a conversation, please stop that, too.

Bloody Three Lions (Football's Coming Home) being sung on any occasion that isn't a major football tournament being held in England. It's about football itself 'coming home' (and while I know that's a dubious claim at best, the song works so I don't care) - not just about England winning.

THE WHOLE POINT WAS THAT ENGLAND WAS HOSTING THE TOURNAMENT!

 

I like the song. But this doesn't half annoy me.

Why though? 

I was sat on a train this morning and the person next to me spoke for the whole journey - completely oblivious.

 

If two people are having a face to face conversation in a public environment like a train carriage, then they are usually (but not always) a little more aware of their surroundings and the social etiquette around chuntering away whilst other people are trying to work/read/whatever.

 

It was a 40 minute journey and the guy barely paused for breath. 

 

It was cvntish.

 

I then got on my connecting train and the twat next to me did exactly the same.  On the way home there were a number of people doing it. 

 

Anyone phones me I'll tell them I'm on the train and will call them later.

If they're being rude by being loud and discourteous, then yeah fair enough. 

But they're just having a phone conversation in a different way. At least you only hear one voice and not the others on the phone lol
