Does get a few spins these days, especially down south at Crossfire and 100 Club all-nighters.

I've done that before Chris, you should have seen the reply.

Two elusive autumn flowering bulbs I spotted yesterday, Sternbergia lutea at Grazelema Merendera filifolia on Sierra de Las Nieves

I like Pit Bulls, they should only be owned by responsible people though. Quite a few in Spain, and haven't seen a nasty one yet.

Well it has an old London telephone number for the Abbey Road Studios on the acetate, so there's a chance it was recorded there, and is definitely for the Power Exchange release.

There's quite a few in London too for that matter

And some people who do go to all-nighters still know hardly anything about records etc. There are people that just go to have a good time, they wouldn't know the value of some of the records being spun or who the artists are or were. I remember a few years back being asked whilst giving Dave Rimmer a hand at the 100 Club if he had a copy of the Yum Yums, it had just been spun, when I told the chap what a realistic price might be he almost fainted. If you're not happy with the night(s) you attend you have the option of not going again, find somewhere that plays the music you want to hear, has the right atmosphere and makes you want to go back for more. Sooner or later the events that are losing money from lack of attendance will close. Sadly some of the better ones may go the same way as old age creeps up on the promoters that have been doing the job right for many years, but there are some knowledgeable youngsters out there that will step up to the plate when the time comes and carry the scene forward, at least I hope so.

Well done to Mike and all else involved, I used to visit as a guest when time permitted but after joining last year I can't go long without a visit, and have tried to jump in when I can. KOKO Dave

He's obviously confused then!

If it's any consolation Craig Moerer has sold boots as originals, so lots of people get duped by the inverted matrix bit.

95p?

No Jim, it hasn't, but it has arrived in Spain where I'm living

It's so sad when someone with such a big heart leaves us, almost like all of us losing a family member, probably more cherished than some family members. RIP Big Frank

It almost makes me inclined to lend it to you, the key word being "almost" The next one can be yours Kev!

Is that Casares Playa, or Casares proper? Stopped at Manilva to pick up some grapes on the way back. Bought myself some Absolute for £7 a litre, and a bottle of Bells for less than £6 a litre. I'm in Riviera del Sol, golfing haven of the down at heel.

Sorry Johnny, only just got your message and I'm back now, I was down there for 9am. I won't be down again until November now. Old Jamaica is made by Cadbury's.

It's a Griffon Vulture Steve, the clue is in the Black vulture name that they are black.

There's an app called "simple Youtube to mp3" that will allow you to download any Youtube track onto you computer and turn it in an mp3 file, very handy for stuff that isn't in your collection, whether vinyl or CD's. If you can't find the app and want a file just pm me with your email address and I'll send it to you, problem solved

Off topic. Don't you have a Morrisons near you Peter? That's where I buy Old Jamaica, well the one in Gibraltar sells it anyway. Going tomorrow and will post a couple of bars if you're desperate.

Sorted!

Not had the op yet Peter

It's on Youtube, and there's a nifty app that will download it as an mp3 if you have windows 7 or 8

But a whole lot rarer!!

Thanks Joel, but you can drop the sir bit

Yippee!! Arrived this morning, the real thing.
