No word of a lie...I'll tell you what else is up there....its called a rope exerciser. Misses bought it, it attaches to the window catch over the bed, you put your feet through the loops and tug your legs up and down !!!!!!!! :o :o :o :o :o I kid you not!!! :) :) :)
First time she used it, I came home from work and from outside I saw these feet through the window going up and down, up and down....well you can imagine what I thought.....
You want to see life....come and live here ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Crap & more crap :-[
-
I have no idea what's up there. Or in the garage. I'm absolutely sure there's a load of my stuff up there, but it has all been submerged under an absolute deluge of crap belonging to the wife and the grown-up and flown-the-nest children. When we moved in 12 years ago, it was tidy and I knew exactly what was there and where. Then my kids got old enough to go up there on their own, so it's a tip. :( :( :(

I'm frankly surprised that no-one's mentioned the old clothes that find their way into lofts. I had really good collection of flares and kipper ties until SWMBO discovered them and sent them off to the charity shop. :-X :-[ ;D
Somewhere on the planet, someone is now dressed like a complete muppet. ;D ;D

That would of been hard to reach from the back seat but if you had longer arms then you might of done ;D ;D ;D ;D

Mind you, Maria, you didn't mention hot pants. Whilst in my loft I found a programme for the John Player European Grand Prix at Brands Hatch back in 1970-something. The JPS team hired load of leggy blondes wearing black T-shirts and tight gold hot pants to hand out free fags. :y
It was all a bit too much for an innocent boy like me. ;) ;D ;D

I did, and a Sony one. neither have been seen since the move, loads of boxes were put in the spare room, and judgeing by the progress made so far may well still be in the same place in 5 years time.
Dont think the philips one is anything special. Had seen the Sony model (Refurbed ) on Ebay for quite a wad which is the reason I kept it.
but all said I dont think it's anything special. Looks like it may be (or similar) a Sony TC-366 Reel to Reel.

My first recollection was 1968 when i was 12yrs old & used to wear flower shirts with penny round collars & matching flower ties plus bell bottom trousers! :o
Great for going outside in the garden with my girlfriend for a kiss & cuddle amongst the plants cos no bugger could see me as i blended in so well with all the flowers!! :D
My first girlfriend was a girl called Liz Short who was 5'10'' & i had to stand on a box just to kiss her! :-*
And if u think thats strange i then went out with her best friend who was called Liz Long & she had to stand on her tip toes to kiss me! I swear on my kids lives that thats a true story - u just couldn't make it up :-/

And if u think thats strange i then went out with her best friend who was called Liz Long & she had to stand on her tip toes to kiss me! I swear on my kids lives that thats a true story - u just couldn't make it up :-/
Such clear memories, my best 'pulling' shirt and tie were green flower patterns on a white background and brown flares, school disco 1971, won prize, with Maureen Gibson, deep brown eyes :D :D for best dancers..... ;D ;D ;D :y
Stop this, taking me back to far.... ::) ::)
'Maureen Gibson'? Wasn't she the sister of Maurice, Barry & ? (forgot his name!) & they went on to form a group - THE BEE GEES!!!! :D ;D :D ;D ::)
(sorry Vamps!! :-[ :-[)

My first recollection was 1968 when i was 12yrs old & used to wear flower shirts with penny round collars & matching flower ties plus bell bottom trousers! :o

Hey where would we be without the glorious memories of our 1st true love ...... it's the only thing that gets me through my last true love..... and on that note 'she' is calling out (more like howling like a werewolf!) to me to get me to come to bed as she's reminding me that i have to take the kids to school in the morning, make breakfast, wash up, hoover ....... oh what joy it is to be married!!!!! :( :( :(

That would of been hard to reach from the back seat but if you had longer arms then you might of done ;D ;D ;D ;D
;D ;D ;D That's true.
Mind you, Maria, you didn't mention hot pants. Whilst in my loft I found a programme for the John Player European Grand Prix at Brands Hatch back in 1970-something. The JPS team hired load of leggy blondes wearing black T-shirts and tight gold hot pants to hand out free fags. :yIt was all a bit too much for an innocent boy like me. ;) ;D ;D
1973 iirc, cos I was there, and took the fags...... :D :D
Free transport and entrance, went when I was at HMS Ganges, so 15 going on 16 at the time........... ;D ;D ;D

Bloody Hell! I was in the 1969 Intake! How Ancient am I ? :-/ ;)

Nickbat, the first 100 issues of Tiger all are worth a few bob (a non-mint issue one sold at auction this year for around $900 in the states - first appearance of roy of the rovers) i'd reckon on getting £10 for anything in good condition from issue 2-10, then maybe £5 each from 11 to 100, any annuals are worth money too, even up to the 80's but not the kind of stuff I sell...unfortunately - I'll keep a look out for anyone who's interested in them :y

Watkins Rapier, mate ;)
My first electric guitar wa a Watkins Rapier (44) I have never found anothe guitar with a neck which played as nic as that one (including my current and previous Fender Strats) the pickups were bloody usless though. :)
I have a brilliant Guitar Tech if you need one
Sets up my Strats & Washburns for me & is in regular contact with the Fender Custom Shop in the US

Very kind offer Pitchfork but sadly I think it would be a waste of time nowadays. I think what talent I had must have disappeared with my hair. :'( ::)

What's the difference between a stratocruiser and a stratocaster? Is the latter more valuable? :-?

Pete Townshend referred to his guitar as a Stratocruiser:
"I knocked about on that for a bit and the first actual guitar I owned was a Harmony single pickup Stratocruiser which I sprayed red. And the next decent guitar I had I bought from Roger (Daltrey) which was an Epiphone solid. He let me buy that from him on easy payments. Roger used to be a lead guitar player in a band and so he could afford a good guitar. This brings us up until about ’62 and by that time I was playing pretty good."

I think (but Im not sure) that stratocruiser was a nickname for a Stratocaster. Anyway if anyone has one in the loft I will up Nicks bid and will pay a tenner for it, even if its a really really old one. :y ::) :D ;D

"The Squier Special Strat is the all time classic of electric guitars. The original Stratocaster, as it was named, was designed and built in 1954 by Leo Fender, an amp and guitar maker in America. The design of the guitar was, and still is, revolutionary and we believe it owes its modernistic name to the then super-modern aircraft, the 'Stratocruiser'."
http://www.axemusic.co.uk/squier_special_strat_pack.html
Which is probably the reason that the Stratocaster is nicknamed the Startocruiser by some.
There you go. All one and the same. I'll still give a fiver for it! :y
-
In the light of Albs' bid, I'll raise it by a fiver to fifteen. Can't say fairer than that!
-
Rather than outbid each other Nick, I have a propositon for a good deal for you. I have a nice one here which is only 7 years old. If you can find on old one say 55 years old I will do you a straight swap for my nice new one., cant say fairer than that now can I ? :y :D ;D ;D

Which reminds me. I found a painting and a violin in the loft. I took them to my local auction house last week and the man told me to leave them with him while he valued them. Anyway, I went back today and he said that he had some good news and some bad news. Here's the conversation:
Me: I'll take the good news first, then.
Him: Well, I pleased to tell you that you brought in a Stradivarius and a Rembrandt.
Me: Great! What can the bad news be?
Him: Stradivarius couldn't paint and Rembrandt made lousy violins.
;) ;D

I dont have anything in my loft, I put things in the cellar. Its a perfect environment to store things that you was to go rusty or rot within a few months.

Conducted an inventory of the 365 comics I found:
7 issues of The Wizard (24 August 1963 to 16 November 1963)
44 issues of Rover & Wizard (14 March 1964 to 15 May 1965)
78 issues of Tiger & Hurricane (19 March 1966 to 21 December 1968)
20 issues of Tiger & Jag (04 August 1973 to 24 August 1974)
1 issue of Tiger (20 September 1974)
215 issues of Tiger & Scorcher (12 October 1974 to 02 June 1979)
Obviously some issues missing but Ebay beckons, methinks. :y

Squier brand guitars are Fenders cheap Mexican entry-level versions of the real things - like my 1955 Stratocaster! (it's also my Pension)
The original Fender electric guitar was the Broadcaster circa 1950 which had to be renamed the Telecaster because it infringed someone elses' brand name
-
Absolutely, Gretsch had a "Broadcaster" electric guitar, and threatened to sue Leo for a lot of money!!
mine is a '67 in black with a maple neck and is my pension too!!
(prefer to play my Parker Fly or Gibbo Goldtop though, sounds better!)
