  1. Changing the subject a tad. @DJ360, if your'e out there reading this, can you kindly explain to me, in laymans terms, the process of 8D etc music? Iv'e just hit upon this on you tube while looking for stereo tests.

    Got my headphones on and I was astounded at the difference in sound quality. I have never heard of this before and would like to find out more. There was these different music tests with 8D, 12D and onwards.

    A whole different world of music and tempts me to buy better cans. B.

  2. Hey up Oz., the programe was on Channel 4 on Freeview.

    Don't know how your tv system works, but it was on the main channels. It's on Thursday nights and in three parts.

    You should be able to get it on Internet All4 app.

    Your servant sir...

    ( last night was about Shirebrook colliery).

  3. Will be thinking of you Brew and your brother. I know how you must be feeling. I lost my older brother to a stroke and I was led to believe that a stroke was contributing factor to my son passing away when he was only 23 years old.

    My sincere regards to you both mate.

  4. You and me both Phil. Always found him to ba sanctimonious hypocrite, especially after seeing him on a programe with daughter ( or stepdaughter). Whenever she pointed anything out, if it did'nt meet with his train of thought he would poo-poo everything she said and just dismiss it.

  5. My practice nurse once told me that it would help my diabetese if I could lose some weight and so she referred me to a dietician. I gave it a try for a couple times but jacked it in. My nurse asked why I'd stopped and I explained that the last thing I needed was anorexic matchstick telling me I was overweight..

  6. From what I remember Trogg, it always looked crystal clear, even back in the 50s. When visiting my Grandma, on Commercial road, I used to walk down to the bogs and dangle me little feet in the water before crossing the footbridge to play on the swings. Can't say what it was like for contamination in later years though, although when I lived up Sellars Wood road in the mid 80s, it appeared to be pleasant enough. Not been near those steps for 36years.

  7. Talking of hearts...When I had my heart attack in Covid year, after having a couple of stents fitted and in recovery, I asked, 'Why is it that the cardiac unit is always on the top floor of most hospitals'?

    It was explained to me that, in the event of an emergency ie, fire etc., cardiac patients would be least likely to survive an emergency. Really filled me with encouragement.
