@KinkyMira, it’s amazing how quick things get superseded by new technology, kids nowadays are totally digital oriented.

Wolverhampton Civic Hall? I saw Tina Turner there in '84. Right down the front, I was. What a blowtorch! :sunglasses:

Gosh @Melody1 yeah love that one…the lyrics are fab…

Lots of the tracks to classics would be banned now. Shame too…

Think Ghost Town by The Specials is still fab and the lyrics still fit up to the present day…

I gouged my name into the wood on the balcony around 1980, around 2015 it was still there! The Civic had been shut for 5 years now for renovation, council incompetence and escalating costs have ensured it’s still shut. It would likely have been cheaper to demolish and rebuild. Such a shame for a world class venue.

I get furious when I’m watching a TV drama set in vinyl or 78 days, and a character puts the arm down …on the wrong side of the disc, so it’s rotating towards the stylus, thus ruining both stylus and groove! :rage: :boom:

I used to get my stylus’s from Beatties a fine Wolves store, sadly gone!

An hour :flushed: id love mines to take an hour :joy: it takes the hairdresser nearly that and shes a pro. Full treatment at home properly sectioned (dried and straightened) heading for the 90 min mark. 2 hours plus if I curl it instead :see_no_evil: knackered by the time its done

I wash mine and leave it to dry naturally, I haven’t got the patience to dry and style it!

To be fair, when I leave it and don’t brush it, I get ringlet curls, and if I brush it I get waves so it’s win-win really.
