Looks like the original pair of Air Partners from 1992. Where are they?
Spiritland at Royal Festival Hall
I understand they were supplied from Long Eaton

Fitting a curtain pole from screwfix. More diy required on the article than on fitting the fecker, misaligned screw holes in mdf just shredding the material, now resorting to dowel and gorilla glue to bring the two halves together and align accurately, end caps the same.ffs thereâs cheap and then thereâs these feckers. 
Ikea youâre forgiven, at least Ikea stuff goes together ( usually just a few bits left over ).

didnt know they had another branch - better than the kingsx branch?
they also have a pair of EMT 846 turntables, but unfortunately not in use during lunch
Not long back from the nightly dog-deshitting ramble. Beautiful starbright night with a high, brilliant gibbous moon giving enough light to make out colours, and frost forming on the grass. Good to enjoy it, because itâll be the last such weather for a good whileâŠ
Saw two endangered species while I was out - one, the dogs caught a scent down on the riverbank which materialised into a couple of otters when I bought the torch into play. One was a fair bit larger than the other, but whether it was dog and bitch, or parent-plus-yearling, I couldnât say. They rose out of the water to look at us and hissed gamely at the dogs. Torch off smartish and away to leave them in peace. Iâve lived by some fine rivers, like the Thames, Hampshire Avon and Durham Tees and never - or rarely - spotted otters. The River Glen is basically a canal that just-about flows - hemmed in by steep, tall, levĂ©e banks and rather featureless and inconsequential. Yet, Iâve never seen shoals of freshwater fish like it contains - uncountable when the water drops its turbidity in the summer - dace, perch, rudd, and cruising pike are common, and Iâve never seen otters so often as I do here - perhaps helped by the riverâs very obscurity and lack of leisure interest (mostly just those sad cases who enjoy hurting inedible fish for fun).
The other endangered species was entirely more prosaic - a milk float on what must be a very cold and lonely round. I had no idea we had an old school dairy delivery in the area at-all, they certainly make less than no effort to advertise!

I heard a pair of those in a domestic setting last year.
Very impressive speakers

Very.
A year ago, when Iâd not long been home from a Late shift (Midnight-ish), I saw a strange glow outside. It was a milk float delivering to our neighbour. Narelle got the contact details, and since then we have had bottled milk delivered. It took a bit of trial and error to get the quantity right (orders are processed online), but weâve sussed it now and love the fact we donât have to drive to buy milk anymore.
Plus we get Milk. In. Bottles.

We get our milk delivered. Theyâll do glass bottles if you want, but itâs pricey. Also glass may not be quite the eco-friendly option weâd like to imagine. One way and another it seems they get diverted out of the use-and-reuse cycle depressingly quickly. I remember reading they make as few as 10-20 round trips before theyâre smashed/binned/littered. The extra volume they occupy and their extra weight and need for protection all lower the milk floatâs capacity for, well, milk, and the energy needed to re-sterilise them isnât insignificant either 
. Itâs a shame because the alternative these days seems to be plastic.
