Something different this is a Hornet eating a Wasp I had been trying to get a shot of the Hornet, and had been following it along the bank of a ditch when I spotted it perched on this plant, at first I thought it was mating, then I realised what was actually happening as the Wasp disappeared before my eyes, it did not have a chance.

Cheers Russell, it is a hobby that gets me out in the fresh air, I like your Common Darters, I am looking forward to the Dragonflies appearing again A couple caught in the act, on a bench of all places , and a Migrant Hawker

Catching them in flight is a challenge, they are a bit rapid not as swift as these little devils though

As it started with a Kingfisher here are a couple

Ian that was a moving read, we share your sorrow. I had posted this on the original thread, but it is an endearing memory of a wonderful person. I will always remember the night at Bretby when Helen was on the door taking the money, until I played "Eddie Parker - Body Chains". Helen came flying through the doors and onto the dance floor, it was one of her favourite records. Our thoughts are with you at this difficult time. RIP Helen, we will always have fond memories of you Martyn & Carol xxx

I was stitched up ... paid £30 for mine early 90's I am still coming to terms with Mace's aversion to mince meat ... never struck me as a man that would refuse food, of any description ... except of course salad.

Always a tricky one to find, and you never saw many about .... but never a £950 record, or have I missed something.

It got a single release on Compass. Do not think the actual backing is slower, it is just the vocals sang with a slightly off beat phrasing, prefer this version myself.

I thought that Aint Nothing was the B side, Need A Replacement the A side ?

Martin at Stoke

Really sad to hear this the other day, we have both known Martin since the early 90's, one of the most unassuming people you could meet, seemed to be everywhere, always dancing, always enjoying the night. RIP Martin we shall both miss you, our friend. Martyn & Carol

Sad news indeed, always had time for you, always had a smile on his face, the scene will be a poorer place without him ... RIP Max Martyn & Carol

Nice gesture Pete Have a good Christmas

Ged it was quite funny ... when Pete made the same joke several posts earlier I have signed

I cannot help Steve, but have you tried using the search function on here...failing that I can hum it for you

That looks real to me, same as mine, will have Nashville Matrix stamped in run out.

Malc they came from a DJ's kitchen, as they are the same both sides

Does she know how much you are spending on her? $35 list price in 1989 Theres one on US Amazon, but at that price I would wait for the film and get it on DVD

Last minute pressie for the wife

Mark Freeman had one on here this morning, good price too HERE

Bryan Wakelin has a Mecca Weekender on this coming weekend MECCA WEEKENDER Martyn

Glad about that Mark, there is a 50/50 chance we may venture out your way Saturday. I will give the track another listen, when I am fully alert, as I was sort of putting lyrics on to it in my head, something familiar to it. Martyn

Mark not a clue sorry...however as chairman of his fan club I would have thought he would tell you if you asked him Martyn

I take your point. It is probably because I have seen loads of them out and about in dealers boxes at the £10 - £20 mark back in the 90's, when nobody wanted them because they were only £10 - £20, and common. Same thing with the Montclairs - Hung Up On Your Love, early 90's Pep had a box full of issues and demos in his shop £10 / £20. Martyn
