Since noone noticed just thought I'd mention it - argghhhhhhh I'm getting old!
Had about £100 in total which I have already spent!
Happy birthday mate, wish you all the best and as some say 40's is the new 20's
Thanks - main age things are 1) I get rattier quicker, 2) Don't like the modern pop music/ rap music but then I didn't when I was 20 unless you counted HM and NWOBHM as pop.
That said there is a bit of an 80s revival at the moment and part of it is a huge upsurge of interest in NWOBHM and I have been caught up big time, just by knowing the right people and having taken pictures and videos.
Tut tut Martin. I'm 53 and I love dance/rap music. So much so, that I think I've done a couple of the speakers in me miggy

I still like guitar based stuff, but always looking for some new types of music to listen to, I liked a track from a band called IIO and I like some Fatboy Slim
Obviously Martin, to like the kind of music I like, you have to take drugs as well. Or are you going to tell me you've stopped doing that also

The only drug I've bothered with comes in cans with "Scrumpy Jack" or "Fosters" written on them. Never smoked, have come across cannabis but you have to smoke it and I don't smoke, but being in same room had similar effect as alcohol as well as requiring clothes to be washed.
Any form of stimulants would be a nono as even caffiene screws me up.
Apart from health I have a tendancy to get addicted to things, too many electrical things only hurts your pocket (if you pay - just say I have aquired quite a few items for free by being in right place at right time but people have now cottoned on to Ebay and will now try selling*)
* One skipped after deciding too many knackered capacitors, one kept for spares as it don't work too well, one FOC with tuner timer.
Of the 11 vcrs I have had in my posession I was given 6 and bought 4 S/H and 1 new.
But if the same happened with drugs I would be stuffed, I either never started or had a decent scare - someone at work keeps pestering to try to get me to start betting, but I won't as I would get addicted, luckily the only time I did (10p in the pot on Grand National) mine came second when I thought it was guaranteed a win.
What was funny was that all my friends in bands I think all were moderate drinkers, very very few smokers and none AFAIK drug users.
