Pretty fantastic way to spend a night.

You're really old now

Yes, I will have to order them online, I just find it annoying that I went to the trouble of going in both stores to no avail. (They weren't in walking distance from eachother.)

I see your point; I think I'll mostly stop going to physical music stores from now on.

The funny thing about it was that their websites actually said they had all the albums I wanted in stock, so I assumed they would have them in store as well... But nope.

Wow ! Never been to a pub that offered books to browse through, Mojo.

Reminds me that we used to go to pub full of old guys once. There was a special row of hooks for the glasses of the regulars - Reg, Ted and Bob had all painted their names on their own personal beer mugs. Most nights you`d hear the clack of dominoes but on the really wild nights they`d get this game out :-

We were about 19 years old at the time and these guys kind of adopted us; at the end of the evening they`d sometimes buy us beers that it was beyond our capacity to consume, and one night Ted -or it could have been Reg- leaned over and told me something in confidence that I have never been able to forget.

Perhaps by sharing it here, I`ll finally be able to:-

Do you think you`ll still be playing it when you`re 65 though?

No, I think it got woodworm and thrown out.

When we had toys like that, the bits would usually go missing. I remember reading comic books with pages torn out, clockwork trains that didn`t have a key, jigsaws you could spend hours on but never complete...
