Funky Old Medina @funkyoldmedina.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Thought this old lady was going to need serious surgery as it would only FF and REW but not play. However it was just a tired spot on the capstan motor after being in storage for a few years. The tiniest push and she's good as new again. The beautiful Sony TC-K611S. @obsoletesony.com 021
Funky Old Medina @funkyoldmedina.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I strongly suspect this will end up as my album of the year. Came out to warm but not ecstatic reviews. It certainly scratches an itch for me. Got the blue #vinyl pressing which is... Ok. Some surface noise and huge bits of embedded crap which luckily came off in the Humminguru. 010
Funky Old Medina @funkyoldmedina.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Only a few years late to the party but I just watched Oppenheimer. What a load of histrionic old tosh. I have come to the conclusion that I don't much care for Christopher Nolan. 000

Funky Old Medina @funkyoldmedina.bsky.social · 26/09/2026#NowPlaying another beautiful early #Vinyl pressing, Bowie's Low, complete with intact track listing sticker on the rear. Again remarkably unscathed from its nearly 50 years on the planet. Maybe the previous owner didn't get Berlin Bowie! 160

INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPACKING YOUR
B-STARD 3000
Your
B-STARD 3000
tent
uses an innovative and mysterious technology which makes it 4x harder to repack than it was to put up.
1.
Start by making the mistake of thinking it will be as easy to repack as it was to put up.
2.
Leave it till an hour before check out time.
3.
Take it down and fold it in half.
4.
Realise that's not right and fold it into thirds.
5.
Have an argument in front of the other families about how to repack your tent.
6.
Look up a video on YouTube of a cheerful German person repacking a completely different model of tent.
7.
Gaze covetously at the air tent next door.
8.
Roll the tent into an infinitesimally small sausage while wiping it off as you go.
9.
Marvel at how it is still Somehow three times too big for the bag.
10.
Jam the rest in the car because it's bloody raining now youve taken so
long.
11.
Spend the next two days drying it out at home.
