  1. Music that changed you

    Music has always been a huge part of my life but there’s only ever been 1 moment in my life when I just stood back and thought wow. For me it was at the Calton Studios in the mid 90s, it was a pretty normal club night and I was there as I was was most weeks and a band called Force Mass Motion came...

  2. Favourite Music Video

    Was tempted to put this in the pet peeves thread or the you know your getting old when thread as I’m essentially moaning about the lost art of the music video. I miss the days when a bit of thought or humour was put into a music video. What’s everyone’s favourite music video? A few of mine are:...

  3. A stonking read.

    Among the ‘favourite’ type threads on this forum, I don’t recollect seeing an ‘outstanding book’ one (apologies if there is one). I’m not an avid reader but enjoy a really good book. Somebody gave me a copy of ‘I Am Pilgrim’ by Terry Hayes for Christmas and I can’t put it down.

    No, not a new player but my Xmas pressie. I suffer quite badly from the cold and last night was the first time I got to try out the vest and I have to say it’s a game changer! No more wearing layers of clothing for me so now watching the footy I’m just bored instead of freezing and bored lol ...

  5. I'm looking for a locksmith.

    I need a bog standard yale type lock fitted to a door that's never had one fitted before. Do any dotnetters do this type of work, in Leith? Has anyone had something similar done who can give me recommendation and an indication of the cost?

  6. Best razors?

    I've always been a blade man (never enjoyed using electric razors) and just wondering what folk find best? Forgot my trusty Gillette Sensor when away recently and bought a Harry's razor as a stand-in. Found it a bit strange with the 'flat' blades rather than an angled blade but it may just require...

    Ok, it’s past now and you need to dismantle the light show around your house. Are you a “ put everything back in the box it came out of” Or “ just grab them and stuff them into a box/cupboard till next year” sort of person?

    Having always been an avid reader, one of the glaring omissions from my reading experiences has been The Bible. Though it's been the cornerstone of Western civilization for two thousand years and is the biggest selling book in history, I had so far managed to avoid it. We had a Bible in the house...

  14. Album of the year

    Interested in hearing what people would consider to be the best album of 2021, and yes I do insist on one album as opposed to a list! I'm saying 'As Days Get Dark' by Arab Strap. Very rarely does a band reunite and put out their best album but it's an absolute corker.

  18. A sad day

    Sad to see the passing of Mike Nesmith, Steve Bronski and Mensi today. As a big fan of the angelic upstarts the latter saddens me most. A band who released some absolute classic singles and a few brilliant albums. Hard to count how many times I'd seen them live. https://youtu.be/owrVQebWCtc
