I used to clean my old vinyl and remove any light scratches by placing one or two drops of fairly liquid onto the vinyl and then rubbing gently in a circular motion. It's never done them any harm and quite often removes light scratches or where a vinyl may jump over some words of the song.

I was just driving through a total ****hole of a council estate in Birmingham, a few more observations that seem to have a common thread with other ****hole places. 1) Either one or a combination of an old washing machine/fridge/freezer/mattress/bed/cupboard on the pavement or dumped on the gardens of the occupants house(s), which just stay there for months as they await the council to move them for nothing, rather than phone the council up themselves and pay the paltry council charge for removal, which is about £12 for five items 2) Garden walls that have been knocked down with a sledgehammer to make way for a rusty and probably not roadworthy car to be parked where a nice lawn should be. 3) Bus stops which are full of yoofs trying to look intimidating by holding a can of beer or a bottle of white lightning cider. 4) Fat women pushing puschairs with about five other kids running about behind them. These kids will usually be of all different races, a few white, some with black fathers and the odd one with an asian father. 5) CCTV all over the streets and shops and some chippies/take-away's have doormen. However, in most cases the doorman will be the father of the local council estate hard knock family who think they own the estate. 6) Graffiti sprayed over the street or road name signs on every corner. 7) The smell of fear and tension if you ever walk through the area. It's hard to describe but it's an innate sense that kicks in when you know an area has it's troubles.

There is a queue forming outside the local Wetherspoon pub before 8am and those who are waiting have string to hold up their trousers instead of a belt. There will also be a pavement full of cigarette ends outside other local pub doors and a copy of the previous days Racing Post will litter the tables in such grimy establishments. Cars will be illegally parked all over the roadside and on the kerbs, usually outside a cheap and nasty kebab shop that has Chav specials, such as sausage and chips in a tray, which are usually sold for a pound. There will be plenty of cheap shops, whose owners are likely to who wear a cheap fitting suit and then top it all off by wearing trainers with the suit. Big Issue sellers with some mongrel dog whose rib cage is fully on show. English is not spoken by many people and those who do, only know certain words or phrases. You will generally find wide and culturally diverse inhabitants who all speak different languages but none that allow them to communicate with each other - hence they live together for years but might just as well be living in a parallel universe.

Amy?

I'm thinking that Ricky Hatton should never box again[and hoping] He was humiliated last night and as much as I love the guy I don't want to see him hurt or become a laughing stock. He was exposed for the world to see again last night and I just hope he calls it a day as he clearly is no longer good enough to take on the 'A' list of boxing. He'll always be a legend in my eyes and that's how I want to remember him and not for a 'has been' desperately looking for one more big shot.

Is there any way you can put that onto your mobile phone so you can bluetooth it or something? If so, please let me know how. I still think that's amusing;-)

Class lol How do I go about copy and pasting that to another forum?

Get a grip mate, what are you harping on about? It's also obvious that you have an issue with Stanley so are looking to find something to justify it - hence your nonsense on this thread. Couldn't you PM Stanley as opposed to banging your gums about a non-issue. I was unsure of the instruction too so I am happy that the thread clarified the issue that Stanley raised.

I watched a great film called 'Crash' last night. Really good film and has some great sex scenes too. Never realised it was banned, honestly, this country really needs to get a grip if they banned that.

I'd say the Derby incident was more serious to be honest, or could have had the potential to be if our fans weren't so mentally deflated after the shoot-out and most just couldn't be arsed with aggro at that point due to what had just happened. I agree, i'm sure the rain lashed down about fifteen minutes after the final whistle and I had no choice but to drive home naked with clothes across my legs....never seen rain come down like that in such a short time.

You should become a motivational speaker Derry;) I do sort of feel like a weight has been taken off my shoulders now. It's like we can finally start moving forward again - weird thing to say after today's result I know.

It died on the 19th May 2001. I know we excelled for a while, well up to 2004 but the actual fighting spirit hasn't been there since in full swing.

True, despite their lack of ability in comparison to others on the pitch in their era they would have sweat blood to win, not just for the Saints but because that was their character; we just don't have players of that ilk anymore. Benali would have bust a gut yesterday and I can just picture him now chasing every ball and raising the passion in others with his enthusiasm, mind you, he would probbaly have got sent off yesterday too:D Marsden too, well will we ever see his kind in a Saints shirt again? A rough diamond if ever there was one and a talisman figure, he just seemed to have that innate ability to inspire; he had that presence and we've got some god kids at the club but we just don't have that leader that they can turn to when they are having a 'mare, someone that can just tell them what they are doing wrong and where they need to be on the pitch, we just don't have a natural leader of Marsdens like. I fully empathise with how you feel after yesterday, I can stand losing but not like that. It was pitiful and an utter shameful, no fight, no balls, no pride, no passsion and no idea. Please let a buyer come into this club and take it by the scruff of the neck and take us back to the club we were.

I've witnessed some utter crap watching Saints throughout the years but considering our predicament that's got to be one of the most toothless I've seen for a long time. Mistake after mistake, players unable to do the most basic traits of a footballer - such as communication. I'm no longer ashamed to say that I left with five minutes of the game left, I'm no plastic but the truth is that I just couldn't take anymore, it was hurtful and a total waste of time and money.

1) Women who don't shave their *****. 2) People who burp out loud in public places and say "Better off out than in" 3) Men who wear nappies. 4) The Diana brigade. 5) Why people grow beards and then shave their head. 6) Why some Black Mushroom type thing's with white roots have sprouted up through my paving.

Weirdos who eat some of their shopping before they have paid for it. What's that all about? Are they too obsessed with filling their faces that they can't wait until they have paid at the till? It's rude in my opinion and I would imagine it's roots lie in Chavism. I have no idea why it makes me angry, maybe it's because I don't understand the need to eat a packet of crisps or a bag of sweets until I have paid for them. The one I saw today was a fat Moosehead with Indian ink tattoos all down her arm and she had two snotty nosed brats with her who were screaming and bawling all down the aisles. She even wore fake Reebok tracksuit bottoms, think they were called Rebock. What a Mongolian society we have become.

The Beat - Can't get used to losing you

It's odd isn't it that in a perverse way I'm sort of excited about us being relegated so I can experience the new grounds. It's always a good feeling when you go to a ground for the first time. Football fans are weirdos:D

No. It's an accurate reflection of society and the people that make a living out of the drugs trade. Do you seriously think that once drugs are legalised then all life's problems will be put to rest? Do you think that people who make serious money out of the drugs trade will just call it a day and get a job in an office or something else mundane? Maybe you're naive and don't quite understand the complexity of the networking involved in drugs cartels, the people involved in the illegal side of drugs make a serious amount of money and they are not going to give up the luxuries that the trade has given them, they'll just adapt and transfer their skills and knowledge to another illegal industry and make that more lucrative for themselves and at the same time make it more cut-throat and dangerous.

Olive - You're not alone A masterpiece.

Whilst I am probably inclined to lean more towards the legalisation of certain drugs I can't help thinking that the criminal element won't actually go away. So to legalise drugs may bring a decrease in this particular area but I would suspect that the criminal fraternity at the higher rung of the ladder will just use their knowledge and transfer their skills to another illegal industry, this in itself could increase crime in the short term as it would mean cutting in on others patches and raising the stakes. I'm sure the foot soldiers in drugs crime may be put out of work but those who are conditioned to a lifestyle or way of life associated with major crime will simply move to another industry to exploit, for example, people trafficking/prostitution.

.....very good 1) How to win friends and influence people 2) Definitely would buy it, just for the cheese factor that I no doubt would be Ruperts style.

OMD - Enola Gay

Mmmm, still not sure, 'Don't look now' is a classic film but still can't make the connection. However, that particular verse now makes sense having watched the film many times. Maybe it's just about different films? Wasn't it Mick Jones[Ex Clash] that wrote it? I'll have to google when I get sometime. Ta Deppo
