Lets have a Winge / Re: The Times They Are A-Changing
« Last post by deutros on Tue 07 Oct 2025 17:55:32 »
It works the other way as well Punkinblue I bit the bullet a few years ago and decided to buy an A3 scanner found one in the US reasonably priced postage a bit high but considering the unit was relatively cheap compared to here I wasn't to phased. Then disaster a lighting strike turned out the power supply was cooked so bought what I considered to be the equivalent here it worked but not properly so I decided to by one direct from where I bought the scanner power supply about $30, posting and shipping $180 so I let it pass as there was no guarantee that the problem still wasn't the machine.   :Grrrrrr:

Lets have a Winge / The Times They Are A-Changing

Have you seen postal rates, lately !!!  Doggone those tariffs !!  Shipping from England seems to have tripled.

Seems everyone else is immersed in “digital”.

Noticed a sale surge in video and compact discs, to the point that I feel bombarded.

Now, they (Warner Archives) are releasing four films on one, when people such as myself, already have the four.

It’s also easier to order a book as an e-book, as expressed before.

Guess I'm a little behind in this digital age.

The Yardbirds are on of my favourite bands. Lead guitarists Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page get most of the attention but Chris Dreja was a pivotal part of their sound. First on rhythm guitar and then moving to bass and forming a great rhythm section with drummer Jim McCarty when Paul Samwell-Smith left the group in 1966.

My favourite of hers was Hetty Wainthropp Investigated, which featured future Lord of The Rings star Domenic Monaghan. She was also an accomplished singer. RIP
