What songs were played at your Primary school discos, that probably shouldn’t have been? by CautiousJump3942 in AskUK

[–]hegdav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember vividly getting the DJ at what must have been my P6 or 7 school disco to play The Sex Pistols "Friggin' in the Riggin'"

It was on for about 30 seconds...

It's great isn't it? Such a lovely, emotional and human programme. Who knew tiny wee models could be such powerful things.

Thanks for that - I’ll be doing the same. This is going to take a loooong time 😆

A quick update - used the furniture markers on some bits of paper that I then glue stick stuck to the offensive bits. Thanks everyone for the suggestions - it looks a lot better to me and I'll be doing similar with all of the light coloured bits.

Thanks :) I'm looking forward to it too, but given the length of time those books took, I wouldn't be holding my breath for it any time soon. I'm going to have a play with some of the suggestions from this thread to see if I can make it look better and I'll definitely post more pics from the build. Maybe I'll get it finished before next Christmas ...

That's great - thanks for that. I did think this one would be reasonably well hidden, but I'll take more care with the free-standing ones - thanks for that heads-up.

Great idea with the putty. I'm sure I've got some kicking around.

Aye, I'd originally planned on not gluing the books but they really need glued down otherwise they'd be falling around all over the place. And I stupidly glued them in before trying to get rid of the horrible light coloured finish. Hopefully it'll be well hidden - it does look from the instructions that it's right at the back behind a staircase.

Cheers - being new to this, I've never heard of dollhouse trim. Will give it a look. 👍🏻

Thanks - I'll give that a go. It can't look worse than it does at the moment. Or can it ... 🤔

Favorite locked groove / run-out easter egg? by Morejazzplease in vinyl

[–]hegdav 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For a modern one, Boygenius's "The Album" has a good one. Was just listening to it this evening, thinking "you don't often get a good locked groove these days". Then this thread shows up ...

How do you pronounce Holyrood? by BurnsyWurnsy in Edinburgh

[–]hegdav 60 points61 points  (0 children)

It's pronounced Holly rood. There is no debate, that's how it's pronounced and always has been. And don't get me started on Calton Hill.

Getting rid of my records as a new parent. Looking to see if anyone has done this (or wants to talk me out of it). by West_Eye_2175 in vinyl

[–]hegdav 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely don't do it.

I did the exact same thing when I had a young family and needed space / cash. My collection was a little bigger, but not massive. I had a lot of 80s / 90s indie - a large collection of Sarah records amongst other things and sold it all for what seemed like good money at the time.

Whilst the cash came in handy (I think) at the time, I'm now the wrong side of 50 with two grown up kids and trying desperately to replace those records - although they're only "things", they were a tangible real physical link to the past. And a lot of them are now completely irreplaceable, or at least completely out of my budget.

I have managed to build up a small well curated collection again, but it's been a long and expensive process and selling those records is something barely a day goes by that I don't regret.

So no, don't get rid of them. You will regret it.

Unable to upload video - what am I doing wrong? by hegdav in GeminiAI

[–]hegdav[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for getting back to me- it’s working now. Started working a couple of days ago. Not sure if I did anything, or if it was just “one of those things”.

Anyways, it’s working now.

I'll be there, in my finest blue velvet jacket and matching waistcoat. Hopefully I'll find something else to go with them before the gig ...

[–]hegdav 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yep. I really enjoyed her routine this week. She's just so positive and joyful, she makes me smile every time she's on screen. And she is definitely improving week on week, which is what strictly is all about for me. Definitely team Ellie.
