Berks of DeFrights

Attempting to order some teak edge banding for the Raumklang repairs, but I can only purchase 250ft or 0ft of it. 250ft would give me a spare 230ft.

Perhaps 250ft would be useful when Trump fully tanks the economy and we all need large quantities of things to barter with.

First ‘heater on’ in the garage of the season.

I was looking earlier at all of his revisions since the first announcement, and it’s all footballer mega-mansion shit. MORE columns. BIGGER windows.

I’ll be amazed if it ever gets finished.

He’ll probably leave office with the east wing just covered in nailed up ply sheeting.

Hoping that the White House Ballroom build turns into THE worst Grand Designs saga.

“It’s been 2 years since I was last here, but…”

Neighbour has NOT put Christmas lights up yet. I repeat has NOT put Christmas lights up yet.

Unfortunately it’s because they never took them down from last festive season and they’ve been on all year.

*weak thin smile*

“Hello, player with limited English…here comes an incredibly verbose and unnecessarily florid question for you”

Every post match interview.

Mid century modern tallboy in walnut. Tapering vertical legs, latge flat face bottom drawer masquerading as two drawers, and then three curved front drawers to the top. Brass handles and feets caps.

Rather nice Bassett set just arrived. I do like serpentine drawers, and as a bonus the tops aren’t Formica. Just need to go on an online hunt for a handle…and obviously refinish it all..

I wonder why Laura Ashley is selling it?

Orange cunt denies federal aid for VT summer flooding, along with other states where he didn’t win in the elections. HE WASN’T EVEN ON THE BALLOT HERE.

Admiral James T Vindictive taking the USS Thin Skinned to warp speed…

I’m fairly sure the Laws of Film Tropes forbid me from not using rawk music. There’s probably a track out there called ‘Fixing These Speakers Like My Broken Heart’ by a band named Poisyn Angels or something…just waiting to be used.

*fixing things montage sequence with poodle haired rock soundtrack to follow*

Oh yes. The sound isn’t because it’s broken, that’s more because it’s from 1959. Not to downplay how broken everything else is. There is much brokenness.

But that’s why they were cheap. I SHALL PREVAIL!

It sounds like the Meece are playing instruments in a shoe box on legs.

That’s the translated version.

It also smells like a shed. That’s bonus info.

1959 Grundig Raumklang Box VI. A mid century modern speaker on three tapered legs with a waffle grille.

Unsurprisingly it (the other one’s front baffle fell apart) sounds pretty prehistoric. But not ALL of the time. Bass is almost non existent, mids are okayish, highs are quite airy and pleasant (comparatively speaking).

Cabs have no damping (by design). Single full range(ish) driver. So no crossover

Here’s hoping.

*various slide whistle sounds*

Stop making me like things I wouldn’t ordinarily like!

Two big boxes sat on the garage floor…

Klangers are here!

For anyone who suggests tumble drier sheets are a good way of keeping mice out of your car, I’d like to show them the box of drier sheets in the garage that the mice ate their way into in order to shred the sheets up for an as-yet unfound nest.

Well, I didn’t watch a second of the West Ham game having seen that mental squad selection and positional merry-go-round.

I’m sure I say it every year, but this feels like the earliest in a season that my club has made me loathe football.

Hell of a job she’s got on her hands after those four episodes.

Oh.

Ignore everything I just said, then.

It was a figment of your internet.

I identify with your internet

Moment there where she got lost in her thoughts and was wondering if she’d locked the side door before leaving for the studio
