    My youngest daughter works for a charity on Saturday mornings and has started to collect records . . . without having a player.

    Did you ever see a record that played at 16rpm? My father had some with voice-only recordings of different English accents (he was a languages professor).

    28/35. My Dad had 16rpm recordings of his jazz band - circa 1936.

    Wow and Flutter, Direct drive vs Belt drive, stroboscopes & styluses, Linn Sondek platters. If you don't know what any of these mean it's not because you are young. It's because you are dumb.

    But not those little dinky pull tabs. Cirio makes a great product. Polpa is the one I like and let it cook down..

    More proof I am old, I had not even noticed Schweppes. Big product in Saudi when I was a kid.

    ...just checked and you're right: not all pull tabs are created equal...












    ..on an unrelated note: I just blenderized 2 cans of Cirio polpa to make Nonna's tuna sauce: tomatoes, tuna, anchovies, capers, garlic, chilies, EVOO and a ton of fresh basil over DeCecco spaghettini...spectacular as always...

    I'm guessing the gobshite millennial hasn't been in a kitchen either if he doesn't know what a meat tenderiser is.

    In the early 90s, you used to be able to win a posh yo yo under the ring pull of your coke can. Aided by an excellent marketing campaign it was the epitome of cool to be able to "walk the dog" in the school yard. Even fucking cooler if you could do it with 2 two yo yos at the same time.
