Often it does seem a pity that Noah and his party did not miss the boat.

We'll get you out of it )

I had a very nostalgic day yesterday, music wise. I lost my young brother about 25 years ago and he was an avid music fan. He had a vinyl collection of about 250 LPs. My Mum gave the collection to me. They were all beatufully preserved in plastic covers, most of them with either a gig program, ticket, tshirt or scarf inside the cover. Marvellous collection of which I would never part with. I have not had a turntable for many years but Hubby bought me one a liitle while ago. So as yesterday I was in my office most of the day studying that was the time to have a blast.
I had a great day listening to AC/DC, Rush, Quo,Mettalica, Neil Young,Roxy Music.
It was great made a real change.

You should get them valued purely for insurance purposes and then actually insure them!!!

They have been valued and are insured, because Hubby and I both have so many collections of stuff we have had to treble our contents insurance. God in years to come my Son is going to inherit quite a lot of junk :lol:

Having just said that we are currently de-cluttering and having the biggest clear out. Preparing stuff for ebay, freeads, specialists and car booty. We just do not need all this stuff. All our camping stuff,half the surfing stuff,skates,boards and boots, about half of a 5000 collection of DVD's, 5 stereos, 7 dvd players its all got to go.

Hi Rose,
I'm sorry to hear about your brother. That's so sad. I can see why you keep all his records.

My husband is a great collector of clutter as well - old JCB's, muck spreaders, tractors, hay elevators etc. etc. We had the scrap man clear quite a lot, but we still have masses more that I can't persuade him to part with yet.

I forgot to say - Tony, I hope you have a very big shovel (for the sand I mean)! :lol:

How spooky is this. As it was a long time ago my family dont dwell on the actual day of losing my bruv, but we do usually try to get to-gether Easter sunday which was when it happened. But the actual date was yesterday, the one day out of the blue that I listened to the records. So all I can say is rock on Bruv.

Hi Rose,
That is pretty creepy. Anyway, wherever he is I'm sure he would have been pleased you were enjoying his music.
