Reading from the twelfth and final installment of my 1983 Dairy Diary in
which I get discouraged from doing karate, play Battlecars, make
Plasticine 'Morphs', watch the non-Bond, Bond movie, turn 13, laugh at
Tom and Jerry cartoons on Videodisc and get an Atari 400 for crimbo!
Laugh at my incredibly bad spelling!
See what kids got up to before the internet!
Tune in next time for more 80's nostalgia...?

Vinyl Haul & Advice Wanted | December 2018
I need to upgrade my shonky cheapola 1970's 'hi-fi' into something decent and could do with some advice- should I go for something quality yet vintage or brand spanking new but on a budget? Any advice or opinions would be greatly appreciated. Plus a look at my latest vinyl finds.

Or "Why you should (sometimes) read the Amazon reviews"... https://preview.tinyurl.com/yb9h2n3w
To reiterate: I've never had any problems with the 12 inch and Gatefold versions of these sleeves, just the (exactly) 7inch versions.

Introducing Edward: My American Friend Takes A 'Britishness' Quiz
I thought it was about time to introduce you to my good friend and musical collaborator Ed (A.K.A. Edward of Sim) and, as he's not native to these lands, test him on his knowledge of British culture from the 70's, 80's and 90's for a laugh.

It's My Birthday (And I'll See What Was In The Charts In The Week I Was Born If I Want To)
To celebrate reaching the (frankly baffling) age of 48 I thought I'd indulge in a bit of musicastrology and see if the popular songs and albums from the week I was born have had any influence on my musical tastes by having a gander at the UK charts from 1970!
Not sure how I managed to miss out some of the entries (must be a sign of aging...) so apologies to Dorothy Squires for skipping her version of 'My Way' and not noticing until I'd exported the vid...
Oh and a surprising lack of xmas singles in the charts back then dontcha think?
My Vinyl Oddities Part 2
Part two of a look at some of the more outré items in my record collection including a well-known snookers player's ill-advised foray into pop music, a classic k-tel exercise record from the 70's and an album my dad made (sort of).
