Jmothecat2 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 I swear by this, only way I drink my coffee these days. Yeah I'm the same. Black coffee, dash of cold water. Initially did it to take the edge of the heat off but genuinely makes it taste nicer. I think it takes the edge off the bitterness so you can taste the coffee a bit better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Blades Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 Is there an easy way to know if old LP's are worth anything, or are they even likely to be worth anything? Obviously rare ones can be worth money but what about standard gear from 70s 80s etc Search e-bay for the same titles & see what they are going for? Picture discs are generally worth a bit as are more obscure releases, an old scratched copy of Super Trouper by Abba is likely to be worth the cost of a cheap frisbee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jmothecat2 Posted October 12, 2017 Share Posted October 12, 2017 *use your fancy degree would be a more accurate answer Mogwai are a great band but it could be about selecting the music for the situation. Prior to a hard working day Ice Cube or Biggie will see you better than Mogwai (who are good if you've got a report to write for example). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my obsessive attempts not to be a sell out, I used to wait until the limited editions were finished before I bought a record. I still finished up with a lot of rare stuff (sold later). I did avoid picture discs, which were shite. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously rare ones can be worth money but what about standard gear from 70s 80s etc Discogs will give you an idea of their value with traders. The general rule is that traders sell for about a factor of ten of what you could get on eBay, as folk have no idea what things are worth. So, if you see an original David Bowie LP selling for about £40, check Discogs and you'll find a few hundreds folk flogging them for £4 or so. In other words, never take your records to a record shop if you can feasibly sell them online! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlipperyP Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 I’ve started taking a dash of cold water in my black coffee. Just as some folk describe with their whisky, the cold water seems to bring out the flavour more (and obviously you can drink it quicker). This was exactly how my mother drunk coffee.Anyway, new laptop today. First for 7 years. Window 10 installed, heard many bad word about this..so far so good. Anything I've got to look out for or any tips would be helpful. I'm your pen & paper man. All friendly advise would be welcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent half of last season saying we are not the worst team in the league. Then I asked, "Who is worst?" and every time I had an answer, they beat us. See if the same thing happens to you - and you will have your answer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 Will be having to spend quite a bit of time in Glasgow in the coming weeks (got a flat I need to tart up and flog). Any tips on how to deal with the locals? Will need to consult KB's helpful city centre map (think this one is just on the edge of the centre). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember that your now in a superior city, that'll do you fine.

The previous occupant of said flat had an issue with "neds" shooting out his windows with an airgun. I expect they were just a little rusty ahead of the grouse season. We don't have neds (whatever they are) in my little corner of Edinburgh so I look forward to meeting them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
