My first record purchase was Brother's In Arms by Dire Straits. 11 years old I was in '85. I wasn't at all interested in the majority of pop bands of the time..but was nuts about DS...went on the buy all the albums..which I still have....all now played to death and the sleeves falling to bits! Odd then that I haven't listened to any of them in decades but now like some of the better pop bands of that decade. Guess it took me time for me to appreciate the modern synth music that came out then. I was always, and always be..a rocker..growing up listening to my dad's albums, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Who, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zepplin etc....as well hard rock bands of the 1980's. Still like a bit Iron Maiden from time to time, & AC/DC always gets the volume dial turned up! :)
There used to a great radio programme on Radio 1, called the Friday Rock Show...hosted by Tommy Vance...great times!
Ohhh, I think I get it now?!! ;o> ...1. Write List.
2. Acquire Life Partner.
3. Hand him List.
1) Make a list2) Lose said list
3) Write another list
4) Find the original list
5) Combine both lists on another list and then do sod all with it!
I have lists I've written years ago, of things to I wish to get done..and still haven't started yet..namely cos there are other things needing to be done first, from another list I wrote before the other lists!!! It's soooo easy to just write a list!

List of things not to do:
1) Don't get married
End of list! :)
You don't need to get married, Duke? ;o>You just need to commit yourself to a List that comes with a Lady!
'To do' lists here, are, like road signs in Italy, more suggestion than instruction. 😉

Revised list:
1) Romance: Find a woman who can't write...or speak!
End of list! :)
hey laydees! join the queue, no pushing, no jostling.........is that a machette in your hand, madam?

Ohhh the sweet naïve innocence of the poor little love! ;o>
Every Woman that you meet will undoubtably turn out to be an expert in the language of 'The Raised Eyebrow' ... Be afraid, Duke! - be very afraid! ... HA HA HA!!! ... (*raises one Eyebrow meaningfully*)
Ermm…..I can't see very well Suzy..so I don't ever notice these things!Probably why i'm so crap in the romance dept.....those 'signals' that are supposedly given to spark an love interest between two individuals, body language etc...and of course...since i'm also hard of hearing.....that eye contact thing, folks often talk about...well...erm….I lip read so...eyes aren't exactly something I pay much attention to!!!!
But I have noticed folks often look a bit confused as to why I focus so intently at thier mouths and not at their eyes..puts some folks off it seems. Mind you...after 40+ years of looking at other people's knashers, often puts me off too..some people really need to address their dental hygiene more!
The times I've wanted to give dental advice to some folks I've met over the years....you could say i'm something of an expert now...just through inadvertent observation whilst conversing with somebody!
theDuke wrote: "There used to a great radio programme on Radio 1, called the Friday Rock Show...hosted by Tommy Vance...great times!"A bit too much heavy metal for my tastes - even then - but often including some great stuff, including extended highlights of concert recordings by the likes of Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Rush... (yes, all very much Alan Freeman territory). The theme tune was Van der Graaf Generator's version of George Martin's Theme One, which was a good start to every programme.
I've been following Rick Wakeman on Twitter. He's a great man for making lists. And then losing them. And he makes lists of the lists!
i'd like to follow rick wakeman...........................................................................with a dirty big axe! here rick, list this! :)

D used to have a couple of his best of's that always got dragged out for house parties, because everyone enjoyed the music. And we went to his 91 and 93 Christmas shows at the SECC, which were bloody brilliant. We don't own said CDs anymore after what he's done, but it gets my goat a bit that some people think that if you even mention his name, you've committed a cardinal sin.
My Top 3 things to do today:
1. Climb down off my soap box.
2. Finish my cuppa.
3. Drag my butt into the shower.

Theme One was used for the 'Friday Night Connection', Gordon. The theme tune for the show was Dixie Dregs Take It Off The Top
easy mistake to make, all rock just sounds the same! :)tech's top ten defining moments in rock music;
1 - the sensational alex harvey band
2 - 'k.i.n.g.' by satyricon
3 - i always enjoy a rock band splitting up (but most soldier on well into their hundreds)
4 - the noise machine of early motorhead
5 - the idea of jimi hendrix (actually listening is a bit of a drag, maaaan!)
6 - 'little piece of heaven' by avenged sevenfold
7 - 'spinal tap'
8 - ....em...(go to 9)
9 - the meaty riffs brought to life by the beastie boys
10 - one day it will be all over!

Annoying things at music gigs.I did this list back on the old Amazon forum, but it has a few new entries now:
1. People who talk loudly through the performance.
2. People who try to record the whole performance on their iPhone holding it up in front of you.
3. Stage lights which are maliciously set to randomly blind the audience throughout the performance.
4. Over-zealous use of dry ice, virtually obscuring the stage from view.
5. Venue ventillation switched off, turning the auditorium into a sweat box, so that more overpriced drinks can be sold.
6. Support acts who overstay their allotted time, annoying most of the audience.
7. Last minute changes in running order meaning that you turn up to find the band you wanted to see have already been on.
8. The strange logic by which an album which you can by online from a third party outlet for £10 mysteriously costs £15 when buying ‘direct’ from the artist at the venue merch stall.
9. Bad sound engineers.
10. The weird phenomenon which dictates that, no matter where you stand in the audience, it is the main route everyone takes to the bar/toilet during the performance.
I would add to that ...11. People close-by who know all the lyrics off by heart and insist on singing along loudly to every Song - often out of time and also out of tune ... NOOOOOOO!!! - as utterly unbelievable as it may sound to you? - I really didn't come all this way and pay just to listen to YOU singing?!! ... ;oO

Could #3 be done to deter those irritating types who do #2 ?
Re: #8, use phone to take picture of lower price CD; ask at venue stall if they'll price match, if they say no, make a Family Fortunes incorrect answer buzzing noise, and say 'wrong answer'. 😉
I used to have a to-do list. Now I have a to-don't list.
I have a ‘should have done’ list but am converting it to a ‘there’s no hurry’ list
largely agree with your list, jim, but 4.? wouldn't know! :)actually, what annoys me most at events are other people - they ain't no good!
Lez wrote: "I have a ‘should have done’ list but am converting it to a ‘there’s no hurry’ list"You'll do that when you get a round tuit?
To do or not to doOr maybe it's just toodaloo today
Then taboo tomorrow
A tableau of tabled regrets and tarnished memories
The taste of bittersweet times that spill
Between cup and lip
Tormenting and tantalising
Teasing
The timid caress of new passion
Intimate strangers fumble and fondle
Desires that flame and fire kindle
In hearts that ache to touch, to handle
Yet know in time they to will dwindle
Oh! What a to do!
To do ...... or not to do?
I would add to Jim's list11. Women who sit on their partners shoulders to get a better view, which then eradicates yours. Always tempted to to give the perpetrators a shove in the back, dickheads!
Edit - Scrap that last sentence, I'd never deliberately hurt anyone, but these people are annoying.
Nice one Tech! I like lists, so I do. A flying visit so no time to compile owt now but shall return at some point in near future.

Oh I dunno Nick. Granted, I do have numerical advantage when comes to height, but on occasions that I've been to concerts, and that has happened in front of me, I got a very nice view of the cute lass's 'thong' & bum cleavage! :)
As lets face it (or not!), one rarely ever sees a large lass on a bloke shoulders, does one!
I'm a bloke, so shoot me! :)

Blastro - probably before your time but this was the match that caused me to give up watching football completely.
The match is known as 'The Disgrace of Gijon'. I won't attempt to explain it, just follow the link, it has it's very own wiki entry:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disgrac...
i remember watching that, derek, it was indeed disgraceful, as well as soul destroyingly boring! it was what i thought of after the france/denmark game last week.
i would say z.z.'s heidie was more just an act of thuggery, put me in mind of this diamond from scotland's tommy gemmell against helmut haller of (west) germany - watch it, it's genius! :)https://youtu.be/P9TTvvICNHA

You’ve forgotten the incredible Ferenc Puskás !
i've also forgotten the legendary chic charnley of partick, but we can't have everybody! :)
Can't remember that one Derek (turned eleven yrs old in September of that year and don't remember taking much interest in footie until the '86 World Cup) but can imagine what a rotten experience the viewing of said match must've been. Nowadays it's so easy to forget that at one time the keeper could pick up the ball when played back to him from a team-mate. Am guessing pulling teeth would be much more preferable.Algeria really got screwed there it seems.

1. Things to do.
2. Things not to do.
3. Things to do when I've got nothing else more important to do.
4. Things to do while I'm not doing what I know I really should be doing.
5. Things to write Lists about on tech's Thread and then do absolutely nothing at all about any of them.
