He doesn't learn. He dropped them off in 2 plastic bags !

Morning all! There's a man on the roof with a big power tool. If you want to know what it sounds like, I just discovered, use an electric toothbrush while wearing earplugs. The main difference is that the roof noise is closer to B flat, while the resonant frequency of my skull is closer to the G above.

Better than seagulls on the roof.

In other news, Garmin is still down. If it is ransomware, it may be some time.

Or Pigeons on the aerial.

None of you would want this Fettler on the Roof!

Groundhog day again I'll break up the monotony by going out to the bakery later.

Yes 2. On one he bent a connecting rod and the other one won't go forwards. It won't go anywhere at the moment !

Heavy hand syndrome.
Take a look at them from the underside first.

got a self inflicted headache today, made worse by builders demolishing an extension on house opposite, inconsiderate so an so's

I didn't think they had cd's back then.

COMPILATION CD from 1994 not original CD's

I think it's time to pop to the bakery. Leave it until 12 and they sell out. Can't be having that.

I'll take a stab (without Google) 1987 possibly 1986 when CD's came out, but today is a day when your first coffee of the day is not enough & I've had to go make another, but it has had to be renamed second coffee as first was already drunk.

I think it was 1983 or so, as MCA was converting a plant near me where I lived at Uni. I had a copy of Brothers in Arms, by Dire Straits. First million selling CD, IIRC. Around here somewhere is a big old CD player made for a Sony modular stereo setup I had. So I'm thinking mid-80's.

Argh, beaten to it. No hot pots. Settled with a steak pie and a cheese and onion pie.

Aye but the Digital recording was so 'harsh' they had to run the signal through 'valve amps' a dozen times before it sounded acceptable (they converted it to 'analogue' ran it through a 'valve' amp then re-recorded that back to a digital signal)

Never mind CD's.

I still play metal cassettes and have two "Walkmans" which I use (not both at the same time though) when walking the dog.
