it's was just deemed unlawful to show blood in computer games when Nintendo was King

many other adult games appear on the so-called "Index", but that doesn't mean they're forbidden, you just can't buy them in a normal store.
Sadly, video game companies tend to release special de-violated versions for the german market because of this.

I love it when peeps say stuff like that, like when out of the blue they post a picture of Winnie Mandella and George Formby on the roof of a landrover holding tins of rice pudding, and the post title is 'Bindun?'
Have a confused woo.

valves were never cheap but price is all about demand and there is little of that now. Modern valve tech is quite a bit different and the old stuff is not interchangeable.

High-street quality amps are certainly miles cheaper than they used to be and on the whole, they sound miles cheaper too.
And speakers? My bit fat Mission 3-ways from 1985 still sound ace.

you see buying cars is something i avoid. i wait until other people are so sick of them that they are willing to give them away.
the other option i go for is "short term ownership":
pay 50 quid for an imminent MOT failure wreck, run for six to 9 months, weigh it in for 30 quid scrap. bargain!

Living in London, my car was just for heavy shopping and local trips.
My best was a clapped out Rover 213. I bought it for 250 pounds and kept it for almost 4 years. Only replaced the brake pads and chucked in a bit of oil on the odd occassion.
The only reason it failed its MOT was because of rust.

All my cassettes got destroyed when I was about twenty, by my (now ex) wife's dogs and kids. The music of my youth (mostly dodgy 80s metal), all those carefully crafted compilations - all gone.

I'll have to buy a bunch of blank tapes before this nonsense reaches sweden
to be honest I usually just use my FM transmitter

sit on the floor in front of my old stereo and listen to music while I record a mixtape.

Watched last 3 episodes last night. Now just the film to go and she's all up to speed. Already many questions about "Do the canp'n and Inara get it on? What's the Shepherd's secret?" and so on.
