Help me restore my sanity

Don't know about RD but that logic was spot on for me !

 

Common ground!

 

Excellent summary.

And I've upped my age estimate to 83.

 

Calling it a vinyl player is one thing, but if your gf refers to records as vinyls - well, that is simply beyond the pale.

 

I refer the honourable gentleman to post #25.

 

It's over, deal with it.

 

a turntable is used to turn steam engines around but the object l believe is a record deck

 

there used to be a turntable a Watford junction

 

I didnt want to over complicate things as radiograms and the like were really just record players stuck inside sideboards. Dont wanna confuse the youngsters on here.

I remember them though. We had one and our mother would play her Buddy Holly and Fats Domino 78's on it. Until some fat kid came along and shattered them all by sitting on them. Me.

 

His Meisters Voice..

 

Ah. They’d be worth a bit now.

 

Wouldn’t one still be handy?

 

It’s called an antique.

I’ll also accept large, impractical IPod.

 

It’ll only confuse her more if steam engines are mentioned!

 

Estimated ages. Similar to the expected goals thing?

 

What would Gino do?

Get her on a 5 year contract!

 

I’ve just feed Stevo’s data through the XG algorithm & it’s given an age of 27 3/4.

 

Sounds good, but it will change as soon as you put a ring on her finger. You will then have to wear a pink lambswool scarf, cancel your sports subscription and your mates will never see you again. Think of it as getting lynched in werewolf.

 

As would a timetable.. there used to be one at Watford Junction.

 

78s were brilliant. Wow they were fast. Anything you tried to balance on the record was just hurled off round the room !

 

I need to go to specsavers. I read the title of this thread as "Help me restore my aunty" Satanic rite?

 

We had a radiogram. Basically a sideboard with radio, record player and speakers.

 

But make sure there's a break clause after 1 year.

 

Hopefully no tapping up.

 

I read Sanitary & stopped reading.

 

No cylinders?

 

You didn't break the fourth wall and tell her we exist did you?

 

Cough post #30 Cough

and also post #2, #3, #5

To be honest that's pretty good going from a bunch of sad middle aged men (variations accepted) who support an unfassionable football team.

 

Don't we also have some sad younger ones as well?

 

How lucky were you? Being delivered a box labelled 'turntable' - and fortunately finding a record player inside...

 

I've always wondered peoples ages and if they look like I think they do.If it 's like radio people never end up looking like how they sound. If that picture of the lady in the snake outfit from the Everton game is actually really IBB she doesn't look like I expected her to look and she also drinks in the same place before matches as me. I had Meister and Moog down as younger than me but only by 3 or 4 years. Unhappy Bunny I though was younger as well. Apart from those mentioned above, VOR and one other guy who I can't remember the name of (started going in the 50's I think) I would say most are below 40 but not many real youngsters.

 

Possibly as they are normally bought as a pair in the DJ'ing world as it would be quite difficult to produce mixes with only 1. I had you down as about 53 or 54 only because a mate of mine seems to think he knows you and was on a tour of Sweden (with Watford) with you back in the Eighties and he is that age.
