Vinyl - Don't Stop Me Now (Queen). I saw some other kids shoplifting records form Woollies and said I wouldn't tell if they stole me the No.1 which turned out to be this record.

CD - I got 3x for ?20 at the time: Brain Salad Surgery (E,L&P), Flogging A Dead Horse (Sex Pistols), Freewheelin' (Bob Dylan).

Download - 'Asteroids' theme, Pearl & Dean. Use it for DJing.

Vinyl - Adam Ant, Prince Charming (album)

CD - Elvis '68 Comeback Special

Download - wow, really, is that a pivotal moment that people remember? YOU, red devil, YES YOU, are singlehandedly responsible for HMV's demise.


I remember reading an interview with Alison Moyet when CDs first came out where she said she'd worked out the song order for her album, but hadn't realised that CDs didn't have b-sides. That's around about the time that red devil started to ruin music.

Vinyl - Abba Arrival (first single was Monster Mash, then followed by Bohemian Rhapsody)

CD - Pulp Different Class

Burned CD - can't remember, maybe Air Moon Safari, or Johny Cash American IV

Download - that's for my kids

Legal tape - Madness, Madness. (cheap Spanish version)

Illegal tape - maybe Armed Forces by Costello and the Attractions

Bootleg tape - Magazine live at Oxford New Theatre, 1977 (sound so poor unlistenable)



To broaden the discussion I can, but rarely do, play vinyl

I have a pile of tapes somewhere but never play them

I don't buy CDs of my vinyls

I lost Abba Arrival, but found a very similar copy in Greenwich Market.

Vinyl - 45 Apeman (The Kinks), LP - Dark Side of the Moon (Pink Floyd)

Cassette Tape - Naked (Talking Heads)

CD - The Stone Roses (Stone Roses)

Download - Picture on the Wall (Naturalites)


...we did have an 8 track for a while (a separate little unit plugged through the music centre) but the only thing I remember in my parents' collection was the Jungle Book soundtrack. It got played a lot.

Vinyl (owned) - Noddy & Big Ears (EP)

Contained a line from Noddy as he washed up the dishes which I've never forgotten 'splishidy splash,why is water always so wet'


I've spent my life trying to find the answer.


Vinyl (frisbeed across the drawing room) - Tea for the Tillerman, Cat Stevens

I was very much cassette, was late to CDs, and didn't have much vinyl at all.


Cassette - Bad - Michael Jackson

Vinyl - Smells like teen spirit - Nirvana

CD - 99% sure it was Siamease Dream - Smashing Pumpkins

Download - Absolutely no idea, but would have been free from Napster in about '99.

Vinyl, it was either Diana Ross Touch Me In The Morning or Osmonds The Plan

(I have about 15 yards of vinyl and still play them.)


8-track (bought in USA then brought it home realising I did not have a player) Bohemian Rhapsody


Cassette Franki Valli and the 4 Seasons - I think it was called Who Loves You, the album that made a single of every song on the album.


CD Patti Smith Horses, to replace the cassette which had been played to death.


DVD I think it may have been the film Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, with Tim Roth and Gary Oldman.


Download - first download I think was the film Secretary!

Vinyl - I got She Loves You by The Beatles as a Xmas present in '63. First 45s I bought myself were Lola by The Kinks and Love Of The Common People by Nicky Thomas. Album: Sticky Fingers by the Rolling Stones.


Cassette - Only really bought them to record stuff. I still have loads as I used to love making compilation tapes for my friends and myself and I'd get given some pre-release stuff that record companies used to send out, most of which were bloody awful.


CD: Not sure. May have been something by Grace Jones or Lee "Scratch" Perry.


DVD: Haven't a clue. Possibly something musical or pornographic or both.


Download: Don't do 'em.

Vinyl - Everything's Alright - The Mojos. I think the second one was She Loves You - The Beatles. Then Where Did Our Love Go - The Supremes. Still got them somewhere .....


CD - Can't remember, probably something cheap from Woollies or somewhere. Dylan maybe. Can't remember my first cassette either.


Download - Jon Boden's A Folksong A Day project, whatever the first month was when he started it, can't be arsed to check :))


I don't normally download stuff but it was only available as a download.


ETA: Come to think of it my first download was probably off Limewire in the days before it was riddled with viruses and weird tracks.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
