I have around 500 records, but I’m tired of them being stored upright in my IKEA unit with doors. I also don’t like the fact it’s hard to admire/flick through them.
I’m in talks with a lovely chap on Etsy who has offered to customise the below by adding a hinged lid to it (worried about sun damage). This feels like a great item and a way to flick through the records like I’m at a shop.
My question is, does this way of storing records damage them at all? I’ve only ever stored them on shelves with their spines facing out. Realise this is just the reverse of that, so it may be a silly question, but they’re about the only thing of value I own, so would like to make sure.
It may not surprise those who know me that I am terrible at DIY. So I have a question.
All of the doors and the stairs banister in my house are oak and varnished, and I want to paint them white, as the oak doesn’t really go with the rest of the decor. What is my best option here?
Sand and repaint? Paint over varnish? Get new doors?
Also if I did it myself I would probably remove a load-bearing nail and collapse my house, so any Ipswich recommendations welcome.
Not for me, clearly. But for my dad. We’re trying to work out exactly what benefits he can claim/what he is entitled to. Essentially:
He’s 78 Has worked full time since he was 15 Has some pensions Lives alone (rents) Married by separated Self employed sole-trader
We are looking to try and get some financial advice/support for him as he works out if he can afford to retire, or rather what shortfall he would have so I can pay it to him.
Or alternatively looking to see if he can work a certain number of hours and still be entitled to things.
We have called CAB and Age UK, but Age UK couldn’t advise and CAB never picked up.
Thank you, just want to try and support him as best I can.
We don’t seem to be able to adapt, subs are too late or often like-for-like, there’s no plan b and the match-ups on the wings just don’t work/are easily exposed.
I also question the recruitment policy - but I know that’s divisive and I’m not trying to start an argument.
I love him for the last 2.5 years, and I’ve had some of my best moments supporting town under him, but we seem to have lost all belief, and we’ve lost the USP we had for all of his time here - the togetherness. How much worse would we have been playing the boys who got us here? Only 2 places worse at most.
This will also be super unpopular, but I think I’ve realised I still have a bit of resentment over the summer ordeal. That’s a wholly emotive feeling, but it’s hard to not go back to it at times like this - I wonder if that took some of the feel good passion from the promotion.
Still. I got to see town win in the Prem with my Dad again, and that’s amazing and something I’ll always be grateful for.
Smashing Pumpkins are playing Colchester(!) in August and presale tickets are available tomorrow with O2.
I only just found out about the gig so it’s a bit last minute, but if anyone has O2 priority access and would be willing to lend their code/login/link (not sure how it works), I’ll PayPal you some money for a pint/coffee.
People can vouch that I’m unfortunately a real person.
do the cupped ear celebration now? It used to have negative connotations - is it just a ‘lap it up’ sort of thing now? Freddie did it a lot, Hirst and Clarke both did today.
