Just a bit of a winge

Not much really to write about so I am having a winge (it's that sort of day) Now I know it's not realy important but I am quite fed up with the attitude the t.v. programmers have to their viewing public. "Oh do tell sparkie, the big brother stuff, the soaps maybe?" No it's the way that the programmers have such a disregard for us (me) that they feel they can show the christmas special of The Simpsons on the last day of January! Yes I know it is only a cartoon (animation if it is art) but how often have you sat through a seasonal special at the completly wrong time of year? To often I think, but it is a reflection of how much regard they have for the viewer. Hurumph.
Politics, hmm sticky subject, who to vote for? (should you choose to vote). I would like Scotland to remain part of the union, so no SNP, Mr Blair and his like are untenable now and the Mrs T still haunts my waking hours, so Libs? Greens? Monster raving loonies? I think it is going to be a tough call.
I know this is 91热爆 site and that one realy should not bite the hand etc etc but really some of the radio 4 funnies at 6.30 begger belief. As you would expect of your correspondent I have phoned and complained but do they listen? "Oh quick change the subject before he starts going on about ITMA and Glums" I've never said I liked the Glums. Does anyone remember the Angus Prune show? Being serious for a moment I have to say that the wireless has always been my entertainment of choice, all other media come second, well not books obviously but wireless was the first technical medium that I could make an informed choice about, pirate radio actually and that I could act upon. Sadly I get the impression that radio is now seen as just another thing to fill a vacant moment or two rather than a thing to be savoured.
Well just a bit of a ramble I am afraid. The Sparkie.

Never mind its nearly summer. Wall to wall Wimbledon & repeats of Keeping Up Appearances to look forward to.

Is Enoch Powell still around?? No, no: don't vote for John Profumo. You could vote for the other Johnnie: Prescott. Same ilk. Same lecherous mien. More inoffensive, if dummer, what about Alec Douglas Hume: he is not still doing his budget with matchsticks, is he? Not here with us? Oh well, I don't expect to be around much longer myself...

The 'wireless'- Hoy is certainly not quite of this century. Tell me do you still play gramophone records?

Bigheid from Flotta


Only if he can get the needles sharpened.

What's wrong with playing gramophone records, Bigheid? With several liner feet (linear meters in fact) of the stuff, untouched for many years, I am thinking of buying a record player. What should I keep buying CDs when I have the original vinyl? Anyone has a suggestion of a good record player (yes, a good one, but always value for money). I used to have an AR (acoustics research, I think) player.

mjc from NM,USA


Still no advice on reasonably priced high fidelity record player. Guess islanders don't do vinyl.

mjc from NM,USA


Oh islanders do do vinyl mjc, but we put it on our floors..... and we pronounce the i as in mince, not mice. Disc cuss.

Flying Cat from red loo seat


We have a Dansette Viva record player in our barn mjc, if you come and collect I wont charge you too much for it
