I know I get uptight when people say this, but I must admit I DID think this one MIGHT get the Mr Wilson Atmos treatment

Well, just when you think you’ve seen it all….

Communal System, one bungalow at the very end of the line.

All fed by Cascade Multiswitch set up. This one has failed. Will still have to install a new Multiswitch - albeit a 4 way - as Quattro LNBs don’t feed directly to Satellite Box

There was a chain with Crawley, Croydon & Brighton, with similar name - H & R Cloakes

Spent bloody fortune in them back in the day. They were all Chart Return Shops so had all sorts of goodies

Got 7” White Label of FGTH Relax wayyy before it charted

DAT Cassette Single, never saw another

They still have Freeview in. But even if you set up with Freeview it changes its default to Freely without consent.

You can set it up without an internet connection, but then the apps don’t work.

It’s just shite.

Some #RecordStoreStuff spotted in Surrey Chazza

The only one I remember visiting is Cloakes in East Grinstead

Cause they ain’t Panasonic for starters. They are Vestel junk, manufactured in Turkey. Badged under license.

Freely is long term replacement for Freesat & Freeview, in a post apocalyptic world. Everything over internet. The Software is glitchy and shite. It will get there but it ain’t close yet

Happy 60th Birthday to the BT Tower!

Built 1961-65 to the designs of Eric Bedford, Chief Architect at the Ministry of Public Works, the 582ft telecommunications tower is one of Britain's most distinctive post-war buildings and after being sold in 2024, is set to be converted to a destination hotel.

I’d love to go up there.

Looks odd with all the Microwave Links & Antennas gone.

If you want to shaft the Bookies, I’d suggest a flutter on who’s going to win a BAFTA next year.

I’d stick a Pony on “Pub Hooligan of the year” on this fine Thespian. Not sure who he is, but the chap in the blue T-Shirt - it’s Method Acting at its very best

When you said “I’ve a broken Banjo String” I thought you’d been showing off. Leaping off the wardrobe - AGAIN

You need to pace yourself man

Andy AVAV Systems @avavsystems.bsky.social · 1d

I call that “interns on shift”

Local weather here last week, “Presenters Name Here” on first screen

It’s all gone to shit. Too much cost cutting

No change there
