I got quite a fright when i worked out what the new black freckle was when I came out of the shower and noticed it in the mirror.
The little buggers hold on for grim life as well, hope it wasn’t too painful or that you removed part of a bollock in the process.

Bought a small telly from John Lewis with a 5 year guarantee it went tits up at 4 years. After being dicked about by dpd couriers, two phone calls to John Lewis complaining, it was collected, repaired and is on its way back within three days. I’m very impressed with the service by John Lewis, totally unimpressed by dpd and happy with my £20 goodwill gift card for being mucked about from John Lewis. A bonus being the original price of the tv was cheapest at JL when bought, for once a large retailer has come through with flying colours, the courier resigned to the bin of ‘who gives a shit’.

It has to be asked, given that ticks like sheep.
How did you get one on your scrotum, just asking, not inferring, no fingers pointing, no assumptions being made etc.
I’m sure we’d all be interested to know 
(And was it pretty)

I’d love to get into the detail but what happens in Tummel Valley on the fishing weekend with the boys stays in Tummel Valley. All I can say is no sheep were harmed, no fish were caught, a lot of whisky was consumed and I ended up with a tick on my ball sack.

Were the boys asleep when you went for a ‘walk’ in the fields?

Unfortunately, the little fuckers make a beeline for the “groinal region” due to the warm and moist conditions therein. Lyme disease is a real thing here now, so if you find one attached, remove it (no, not whisky or a burning cigar butt - that only makes them vomit really unpleasant stuff into you) and get yourself tested. The classic bullseye doesn’t always appear - ask Mrs 68…
I supposed it serves me right for clicking through on “Michael Schenker Group” but this marketing brainfart from 2006 really does tick every cliché box with unerring accuracy.
100% rock strumpet action.

Fuck, fully off down the rabbit hole now.
Reading the Wikipedia entry for the above mess, my mouse happened to hover over the (very long) list of MSG personnel and I noticed that Mo Foster was there.
A less likely alliance I can’t think of.
His father and mine served together in WW2 and were good friends. I’m pretty certain that I met Mo in my early teens.
The further I read through his extensive Wiki page the more it started to sound like a comprehensive obituary. Got to the end of it and yep, died a few months ago. Bollocks.

Every day I get a couple of emails from Discogs telling my new items on my Want List have arrived - and every day they are exactly the same things as all the previous days.
That would be irrelevant, but the site just doesn’t work - everything contradicts everything else - there’s endless duplication, links lead around in circles like a dreary Ourobouros, searches don’t work, options and personalisations likewise…
That, too, would be irrelevant - but it’s so damned expensive! I can invariably find stuff cheaper elsewhere. And I think it’s that that’s actually killing it.
This is the reason that I have deleted all the items from my Wantlist. Infuriating.
I have never had any issues with discogs.
But then I have never had a want list.
I have bought and sold stuff though,
Biggest plus for me is the ‘My Collection’ facility
I have my entire vinyl collection on there, great for working out exactly what version of a record you have.
Also really usefull if needed for insurance purposes.
And when I am in a quandary about what to listen to, I click the random item generator and it tells me what record to play!
It never mails me about my want list 
Maybe it’s something in preferences?
Yup.
The biggest plus for me is getting metadata “right” where there is dispute or something is open to debate. It makes a good argument-settler.
For the last line. And the same might be said for Insta-Face and Book-Gram too…

Was that Benny Green?
To some better known as a Jazz saxophonist than as a TV presenter
Yes that’s the man himself!
