Not sure it was a âpleasureâ but still making me laugh.
Couldnât check in to my Penthouse until 6pm. Parked up at 3pm. Walked into town had a beer. Walked back. Still 30 minutes early.
Sit in Van answering FB quote requests -3C dark.
Phone rings.
A conference call. Job interview. Blue Chip Corporate. Unsolicited, someone dropped my name into a conversation & Iâm doing a 45 minute interview. Contract stuff but âWesternâ salary levels.
The pleasure?
We are emailing and talking details and have follow on calls scheduledâŚ
The job?
Talking shit.
Unbelievable Jeff
and no itâs not a job application to do with being a Politician

When my Tahitian niece came to stay we took her to Blackpool (in September). She freaked out on the first morning because she could see her breath for the first time ever.

Rotel make cracking amps. Iâve got a 2000 ish Rotel amp driving some wonderful Quad 11L speakers in my home office. Gets a lot of abuse but is amazing engineered and always sounds great.

Are they the quad electrostatics, that look like radiators? 
Quality equipment.
The Rotel I have is the one with split tone controls, you can adjust the bass and treble for each channel separately. 50 years old and still going strong 
Using a pair of kefs with it at the moment.
No not electrostatics. I wish
theyâd drawf the room theyâre in.
These are âjustâ bookshelf speakers. But pound for pound some of the best speakers Iâve every heard ~ÂŁ400 new.
Iâve got some Quad 22L speakers in my main music listening room, driven by some Naim Audio kit. And most of the time the 11Ls and Rotel arenât disgraced.

My back up turntable is a Thorens TD160b with a SME 3009 improved tonearm and Shure M95ed. The SME arm is wonderful piece of small scale engineering, I could watch it in operation for hours.
