I thought you’d like to see this photo of Simon, Duncan and myself at the Annual GBG Tickers Conference in Hoyland (probably the back room of the Furnace, it was a long night). Maltmeister took the photo, bless him.
Duncan is pictured on the right, looking grumpy that pubs are closed and because my Emergency Motion to officially recognise “dregs” as a tick was carried by 3-to-1.
This is a bit of a housekeeping post, housekeeping is all I’m doing until I get permission to go for walks round (temporarily) dead pubs in Carluke and Chatteris.
My highlight of the week, apart from Mrs RM’s Apple & Rhubarb Crumble, was finding this rare piece of vinyl on the side of the A10. Makes a change from roadkill.

If Matthew Lawrenson can play Herb Alpert cassettes I can play battered Michael Jackson singles.
As you know I welcome all of your comments, but was surprised to read this one from Ms Best Calorie Counter, possibly my America Samoan reader.

If any of you can find the spelling mistakes in “Blossom” I’d be grateful.
I know I still have Mudgie to fix the “East/West” dilemma but I’m lost without Russ’s spellchecking service.
Is that comment for real ? Glad I don’t put my head above the parapet too often on the old tinterweb !

He’s in Canada. Said he’s tied up with late Mum’s estate but that was before Lockdown. If he turns upon BRAPA first I’ll be miffed ;-0

It’s certainly been a while since we last heard from him.

That vinyl is puzzling me (I’m a bit of a vinyl geek)
There weren’t many Michael Jackson with the Jackson 5 releases, and I can’t find that on discogs, however I can’t quite read the catalogue number.
Reckon that could have been a bit of a rarity.

It’s a 1988 reissue, Neil. Just for you I went back to the hedge by the A10 to look. I Want You Back was notional A side.
Does seem odd Motown was reissuing vinyl rather than CDs in 1988 but I guess that he played Wembley that summer so a cash in.
I’d describe the condition as Very Poor/completely unplayable. ๐

Ah, I remember that release now, it had a “funny” cartoon video.
