At about 1:50 in the video she's on stage with the doo-wop group shown in your photo , comprising one black chap and three white fellas so I'm not sure where your statement fits.

So it has changed then ... previous to the fiddling it has always worked as Zanetti has instructed in the OP , as in clicking on the image automatically opened the full size image link in a new tab and as you hover the cursor over the image the '+' sign shows and the next click opened the full version , as it always has every time I've posted the results. Right clicking now works so thank you but there's certainly been a change somewhere and it's not my browser or OS.- JMAuction - 18/06/2025 - Results!
@Zanetti Hi there , I just downloaded the image and it's just 86 x 750 @ 190kb so presumably not the full image ???- JMAuction - 18/06/2025 - Results!
Seems to be a bit of a glitch this time round , clicking once opens the image but there's no enlarged full size image to follow a second click it just closes the image and takes you back to the original post. May be something to do with the 'upgrade' ... ? @Mike- What was your first boot?
Vividly remember mine , it was the Barbara McNair/Vandellas - You're gonna love my baby/Spellbound on TamTown. Got it at the Oddfellows in Leicester around 1981 for a quid , was admiring it on the bus on the way home with the Ely crowd when I got an almighty bollocking from Aggro , he'd just bought a stone mint British red and white demo for something silly like £300. Makes £50 these days so not a bad buy at the end of the day , if Aggro's red and white had increased in value pro rata it'd be £15,000 now ...- Is This A Boot

Boot. The printing is pretty poorly done , no crisp corners and not 'black' lettering. Real one to compare.- Media Talk - Movies and Tv

" a while " being the operative phrase.- Worrying AI development
The easy way to tell will still be the physical item the "discovery" was made from , whether that be a 45 , acetate or master tape. None of these have been succesfully replicated/counterfeited to a standard to fool close scrutiny yet , so unless some magical AI robot suddenly appears to do the authentication then there'll be no worries on that score. And even if there were no bugger would believe its findings ... That's not to say that the youngsters down in the west country won't embrace these with open arms.- Worrying AI development
Doesn't need AI to prompt those feelings , humans do a fine job too. I don't believe half of it now , and haven't done for years ... And some of the most outrageous bullsh*t I've ever heard has been at 3am at all-niters ...- Garage records played at Niters.
There were 'garage' scenes in the 60s and 70s way before the name was nicked for the 90's genre.- Worrying AI development

Be careful what you wish for though , an event matching "The Carrington Event" in 1859 could easily severely damage power networks on Earth and easily render satellites inoperable thus sending us back to the joyous pre-internet days of simple living ...- Aurora alerts going through the roof for tonight.
No more no less , it's over a year now since we saw the great show that was visible to the eye at low latitude in the UK , that was my first sight of the aurora here or anywhere in sixty-odd years. The data side has improved exponentially over the years , but at the end of the day it depends on what occurs on the enormous fusion reactor 93 million miles away , if the outburst is strong enough , of the right type , is facing in the right direction , at the right time , reacts favourably with Earth's magnetic field , at the right time of day and when we have clear skies then we see the aurora , if just one of these parameters is off then we don't ...- Aurora alerts going through the roof for tonight.
Well it appears to me that thanks to its intense but narrow front and its speeds exceeding 1000km/hr this eagerly awaited CME has washed over us largely unnoticed thanks to its timing. Better luck next time ... - Feedback on JMAuction - 18/06/2025 - Result topic
