I'm watching Sounds Of The 60's on yesterday whilst working my way through a bottle of bucks fizz and a box of liquorice alsorts.

I'm watching Sounds Of The 60's on yesterday...

I was just watching that. My sister used to listen to The Nice in the late 1960s so I heard that version of America quite a lot as a young teenager.

I went to see Emerson, Lake & Palmer at the New St Odeon, Birmingham in 1972.

Keith Emerson was actually born here in Todmorden, his family having moved north during WWII.

He had an interesting career. Alas, he killed himself in 2016...

And I did.
Don't remember seeing you there.

Ha ha - there's a coincidence...

From what I remember, I was sitting high up, in the centre, at the back. I was looking down at KE as he strutted about playing with his ribbon controller in a very suggestive fashion!

Am watching them also , amazed I can sing along perfectly with lyrics of songs I havent heard for 50m years and I can't remember where I put my reading glasses down 3 minutes ago

I spent some time looking for mine the other day, becoming more and more irritated. Even more so when I finally realised that I was actually wearing them at the time!

I am in bed now and the wind is howling out there together with the rain slashing on the window, with me nice and comfy under my duvet.
Goodnight everyone.

Sleep tight, and don't let the bed bugs bite.

Got a CAT S61.
Moved up a bit, whilst I source a replacement battery for the Ericsson R250 Pro.

That looks an interesting device!

Way out of my price range though - I got my used HTC phone on ebay for about £75.
