Just washing up here and realise that my wooden spoons are fecked!
Like there's bits missing and they are all burnt to different degrees. They are cheap as chips to buy new but I refuse to do so as I realise I have some sort of attachment to them.
Anything you have that is fecked and cheap to replace but you so like the way they operate that you don't bother replacing?

not exactly. but back in the uk i do have a semi-expensive coffee press which annoyingly always drips.
we bought a super cheap one here--and it works perfectly. i'm taking it back with me.

lol, was just thinking that exact thing this morning, yet again, Tinny. My wooden spoons are all needing a bit oiling. Yes, would rather go to the trouble to oil them, keep the ones I´ve got, than get new ones. And even if I got "new" , it´d be from a local second hand/charity shop/antique shop which usually has them.
My wooden "spoons" = small flat wooden spoon-like butter knives, all kinds of large rounded spoons of various types, and large flat bottomed spoons; wooden whisks of different types. Some were gifts, some were from other family members generations ago, some are from different countries.

of course my books, and old vinyl (records)

Feck! Vinyl records!!
I have over 200 of the bastards and I can't even be bothered to put my 300+ CD's on these days - maybe I'm getting old?....

i read a murder mystery recently where one of the characters has a massive collection of vinyl. he records one on to cassette with a very good machine, and then plays it until the cassette wears out, then records again--thus preserving his records. (the book is set in the era shortly before cds come out.)

Thing took up half the huge dashboard. We used to ride around just to hear the 8 track tapes, as we didn´t have one in the house... kids today just don´t know the fun we had with bulky technology haha |

8 Tracks were Da Bollocks! Reminds me of Country and Western and Burt Reynold's films.
Rubber Duck - but that's CB Radio which is the same era?
Anyone still using a VHS player and not switched to DVDs yet?

In one of our cellar rooms we made into a movie room, there´s about 40 or so VHS movies. I don´t want to throw them out, til we make them DVD. They´re classics from the 30s to 50s.

just did a quick image search for " 8 Track "...talk about a blast from the past. And am honestly shocked how many pages of images came up...I didn´t think there would be any,)

State of the Art in Royal Devonshire! I'm a bit worried about the "A kaleidoscope of contemporary...." Bound to be utter shite from Emerson Lake and Palmer or Laurie Anderson.  |
