I was a regular at The Brook Southampton which was a great smallish live music venue and many tribute bands appeared there, my favs were The Hamsters, great TB who did loads of Jimi Hendrix songs. I saw Focus there a few years ago,also Roger Chapman,Family lead singer.Good venue. Also saw The Hamsters at the Horns,Watford,another good music venue but closed at the moment,supposed to be re-opening soon.

Can't remember the other bands. It was a time when I was trying to be the man and I smoked a few St Moritz menthol cigarettes, that combined with crisps, bananas, sandwiches and coca cola, made me as sick as a dog. It required a trip to the toilets well away from the concert venue, and by the time I got back an area was being kept well away from by those watching, I suppose vomit isn't something people want to be near to. I do remember people shouting 'Wally' a lot, may be that was directed at me. A lot of cans of fizz or beer were being thrown, we were odd in the 70s. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boydeste Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Had a lazy day catching up with various stuff on the net. Ordered a few bits and bobs the last couple of days. Star of the show are Gillette, I ordered 24 mach 3 blades yesterday and they arrived today by RM parcel delivery. I wasn't expecting that. Trying to decide whether to get off my sorry ass and go for a walk before starting on a bottle of red. The weather is so shite it's hard to get motivated, plus the snooker has just come back on. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were regulars at The Brook and i never missed their appearances, i even bought a couple of their CD's. ''Slim'' their lead guitarist/vocalist was a very talented guy. Sadly they have now retired. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Nikon makes great equipment too......the technology these days is amazing as far as these DSLR's and Lenses. Are you happy with your Nikon? We have come a long way since I first bought my first camera 50 years ago in 1974...Minolta SRT 101....scraped by as a struggling college student to buy a "Vivitar" 135MM lens for concerts...can never forget using a roll of 36 Kodak Ektachrome film back in the day. The challenge was after you took your first 36 pictures, could you unload it at a concert, and re-load your next roll of film without dropping it LOL! Yeah and a few "bong hits" didn't help either LOL! 20 or so years ago, Costco started taking slides and transferring them to a CD.... Glad I survived all of it back in the 70's...these concert pics and others are priceless to me. 4 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I survived all of it back in the 70's...these concert pics and others are priceless to me. I have the Nikon D3300 that I bought years ago. For the amatuer work I do I'm very happy with it. Like you I've enjoyed photography since my HS days. Even had a darkroom in my parent's basement. Most days I use my waterproof Olympus Tough TG-5. The Nikon gets used when I want to take shots at night, long distance photos, and hash shirt photos. I have a makeshift studio setup in a spare bedroom for the shirt photos. Those get posted to the hash shirt webpage (link). Do you do anything to protect your gear from the heat and humidity when not in use? That was a big concern of mine as only two bedrooms in my home have A/C, which only gets turned on when we're in the room. To protect my gear I bought a dry cabinet (link) which seems to get the job done. After buying one I realized I should be storing a few bits of other electronic gear in the cabinet, so bought a larger one to hold everything. If anyone is interested, the smaller, 30L cabinet on the top shelf in the pic below is for sale. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Dangleberries Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I have somehow become a watermelon farmer now too... I have about four plants spidering their way aimlessly in all directions and I now have four or five watermelons growing quite big now.. The thing is M'Lady insists that she didn't plant any! My theory is that they came from a cow's arse! Y'see I mentioned about a month ago that I was distributing sacks of manure around the orchard for M'Lady to empty out for planting. These sacks are from her sister's cows next door and I've seen her brother feeding them watermelons!! I don't care as long as they taste nice !!! 1 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
