For me - 'Money' by the Flying Lizards. 1979 - so I would have been 11. Cheers - I.
 
Will the kids of today, be saying my first download was?

The depressing truth is music doesn't seen to hold that much importance to them these days. I was going to say it's just another commodity to them but that would mean they are actually buying music. Which seems to foreign to them.
I'm not say all kids are like this but it doesn't seem to hold the same magic and passion we have for it.

From 10 years old music was my life and still is.

I know I come across as a sad, cynical old git but it's what I see and hear.
 
I think your right Iain. Garage bands are the best to me these days. No pre programming or computer over dubs. Just live music and beer.
 
Pre: Gillette Series Irritation Defense Face Wash
Razor: Gillette #21
Blade: Personna Lab Blue (1)
Soap: DR Harris Windsor

A nice simple evening shave. I've never tried a Lab Blue in the #21. I should have done as it works very well. My recently acquired YaQi Black Fibre brush continues to perform well a week into it's initial testing. I will write up the results after another week or so.
 
I don't know if I agree with you here. My youngest lad (21), loves music, goes to gigs and festivals and a couple of his mates play guitar.
I think music is one of our basic pleasures and there will always be a place for it. As long as it's not just X factor, the future for good music is still bright.
 

What you say - I'd also add that the delivery mechanism - digital - makes a huge difference. It's ephemeral - these days - there is no understanding of the fact that somebody needs to get paid to originate material? - of whatever medium. If it is online - it is apparently free? I'm a professional photographer - my stuff gets ripped off all the time. There is no understanding that unless I can earn a wage - the pictures would not be produced in the first place. - I.
 
Shaved head and delineated beard today.
Cream o melhor, Semogue 2000 bristle brush, ATT H1 with UFO handle Titan XL, rapira blade (2), after shave Floid vigoroso, eau de toilette one million Paco Rabanne.
The protective cream with good post-shave feeling, this brush with good backbone allows to foam very well, the tips a little stiff although it has bloomed well, which is perceived with a slight itch, this ATT is excellent, I perceive it soft, strong with the pure weight of this magnificent and beautiful UFO handle, the floid I love and closed with a touch of Paco Rabanne. Rating 4/5.

A damn fine shave

The soap was a sample. I had it for a while, tried it only once before and wasn't satisfied with it. The scent wasn't good and the lather i got was disappointing. Now i gave it another chance. I am so glad i did. The soap leathered perfectly and scent was rather pleasing. Another soap for me to buy [emoji4]

Sunday 10th December 2017
Prep: Shower
Razor: Henckels Rapide
Blade: Henckles Rapide
Brush: Muhle XL Synthetic
Soap: Lea Stick (New Veggie Formula)
Aftershave: Simple Moisteriser
EDP: Miller Harris Vetiver Insolent

These new Lea sticks without the tallow are, IMHO, considerably inferior to the old tallow version, last month whilst in the Canaries I noticed that of the three supermarkets I visited, one had the new version, one the old, and the third had both all mixed together on the shelf. The old tallow sticks I suspect will disappear from sale quite soon; a real shame.

Regards
Dick.
