Decided to treat myself, so I got this Oppo BDP 103D Blu-Ray player. -
The Who, tonight at the Liverpool Echo Arena. Need to get indoors quickly 'cos there's going to be a cold blast blowing in off the River Mersey.

In the fucking bin where it belongs

Enough said
At last something more befitting of a Led Zeppelin forum. Chucks choices do nothing for me, they only remind me of all the things I wanted to get away from when I was growing up. Old peoples shit as I used to call it.

Yum yum.

Mac and Bobby.

New Who!
I love The Who, I'm really looking forward to see them again next month but I have to say "Be Lucky" is fucking awful, a complete bag of shite.

Charles J. you only let the inner child out to play lol... well there is sadness within my life today as my wife`s father passed away today...
Condolences to your wife and your good self, sad times. Best wishes.

I really hope Cheatsburg does not make a comeback to steal the title. The title would be Hamilton's already if NR had not deliberately instigated a yellow flag at Monaco by driving into the run off and the accidental on purpose puncture on LH's car at **** (can't remember).

Sorry JTM, but I disagree with you about the numbering, although I agree that the music that is important and please don't take this as a personal attack.
If I was to buy from a B&M I would be able in inspect the goods before making the purchase, therefore allowing me to purchase the copy that I wanted, which would be a numbered copy. The way the shopping experience has developed over the years has lead to a whole host of chains shutting down or changing their marketing/selling strategies and therefore making online shopping the majority of the time, the only alternative, especially for items like this.
The Consumer Rights Directive, which replaced the Distance Selling Regulations are in place for this type of scenario as I am unable to physically inspect the goods before making payment. I have not returned anything that not faulty as a faulty item, I have returned it as unwanted and does not fulfill my requirements, which is perfectly legal, with no dishonesty involved.
If I had B&M shops near me that stocked this title, I would happily pay more to them than Amazon and I would happily spend a day ringing around them all seeing if they had a numbered copy they could reserve for me, drive to the store, look at the physical item to make and then purchase it if it's the copy I want, like we used to be able to years ago, but unfortunately I don't.
I contacted several UK based independents and chains, but before I had confirmation from any of them, I saw a stockest in America that assured me they have numbered copies, so I ordered at greater expense to myself, one from them.
Yes, the music is undeniably the most important thing, but to some of us, we also want something collectible.

Hmmm, I See Amazon are still promoting the box sets as having a numbered print in which case you do have a point. Amazon need to correct this, I also see they have quite a number of used copies on offer that are most likely returns of unnumbered copies.

I am loving every minute of both discs, even the tape hiss that is all over NQ. I'm sure I haven't played HOTH this much for about forty years. I also, besides the CDs got the 24/96 files just for this album and burned to DVD-A the sound is phenomenol, absolutely breathtaking, fuller, richer deeper, more of everything.
-
I don't agree with any of this throwing your dummy in the corner just because you did not get a numbered copy. Returning an item that is not faulty is dishonest in my book.
Not getting a numbered copy is just hard luck, It's the music that's important not a bloody number.

DEEP THINKING ABOUT
in Ramble On
Posted
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL BORN IN 1930's, 1940's, 50's, 60's, 70's and Early 80's !!! First, you survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us. They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a tin, and didn't get tested for diabetes. Then after that trauma, your baby cots were covered with bright colored lead-based paints. You had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when you rode your bikes, you had no helmets, not to mention, the risks you took hitchhiking .. As children, you would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags. Riding in the back of a van - loose - was always great fun. You drank water from the garden hosepipe and NOT from a bottle. You shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this. You ate cakes, white bread and real butter and drank pop with sugar in it, but you weren't overweight because...... YOU WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!! You would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on. No one was able to reach you all day. And you were OK. You would spend hours building your go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out you forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, you learned to solve the problem . You did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no mobile phones, no text messaging, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms..........YOU HAD FRIENDS and you went outside and found them! You fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents you played with worms(well most boys did) and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever. You made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although you were told it would happen, you did not poke out any eyes. You rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them! Local teams had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!! The idea of a parent bailing you out if you broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law! This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever! The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas. You had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and you learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL! And YOU are one of them! CONGRATULATIONS! You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good. And while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were.
Yep....That's how it was for me in the 1960s.
