I bet Geof still has his Garrard SP25 record deck, Sinclair amplifier, Sony TC-K45 cassette deck and Wharefedale Linton 2 speakers set up in his mancave :lol:

Can't imagine he'd be a Bang and Olufsen (only 1 f in Olufsen) sort of chap

MOT done today ... Could have gone for the free 6 months but decided put it through.
My car was only ever mot'd by the garage who did the refurb. So this is the first going over by someone else.
No advisories , All good. I got to have a good look around and under it. Still looking lovely.

I really was in 2 minds as to get it done.
I wish to support my local garage . Its not a main dealer or car seller . Just him and his Mrs now trying to keep their heads above water.
It was an MOT with a difference as in i drove it in , up on ramps and did the bits that required sitting in the car. He didn't want to get in my car or touch it . Which i respected as a way of non transfer of any nasties or touching when not needed.

It was a very social distanced MOT for sure.

I just received a call from school (well, not regular school, but since i work in education, apparently a vital occupation, so the kids get some sort of school) if we could pick up the kids immediately due to the risk of Riots later this evening in Delft.

:( It's a shame these anti establishment people exist all around the world, they need to wake up to the fact they are not helping but adding to the misery.
I hope you and yours will remain safe.

They don't appear to have a cause - is there anything other than the curfew or do they just fancy smashing things up?

Saw that on the news today . Like smashing things up is going to make people suddenly think ... humm , yes they have a point. Hope sanity resumes for you soon.

Only 1 post on Friday, in the middle of the night.
Odd, has site gone down? Has covid struck and it's been quarantined? Has everyone taken a day off to mob other websites?

Or am I isolated in the naughty corner, prohibited from seeing posts?
