Where is Simon now? Hasn’t posted since early last year. Anybody know anything?

Ha! Based on the rear of the Bitches Brew sleeve. Classy.

Um...time to get back to the reruns of On The Buses. I’ll ‘ave you, Butler!

Well we know of one or two rocknroll car crashes, don’t we? And one or two jazzers killed in car crashes (driving or not). Your point is to find amusing anecdotes, so I won’t pursue that line…

Figured you lot can probably help out this guy on Facebook https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10223344235216490&id=1304199962

Not the same as that but - details aside - I’m glad to know at least one other person has confronted these MAJOR DILEMMAS! 😉

It’s the hinge on the central piece. I’ve never had any luck either. It’s a question of which kind of superglue (there are many...).

I’ve thought if that, but I’m still going to try to glue it as my first option.

Thanks Mike. I can get that here too and if necessary that will be my backup. But because it is a six and not a five I don’t think it will accommodate the booklet. So my first line of defence is to glue the one I have.

I’m trying to figure out which kind of glue is best for that type of plastic, for a small surface area that needs to withstand stress.

Glue does fog discs unless you leave it for long enough, that’s true. I have looked for an identical replacement and can’t find one.

A five. The central part is broken. No other central part in my collection much is it. So I am going to try to glue it.

What is the best adhesive to fix broken CD cases? As you guys will know, some cases cannot be easily replaced because they are an unusual configuration, so the question is how to fix them.

The best track I heard all week in any week in which I listen to it : Please, somebody, tell me I am not alone...

You’ve got the new set, I think Jim. Have you checked the booklet to see if it mentions the film etc.?

Do the notes in the new Mosaic have anything to say about this?

Regret passing on Michelle in an early/original LP form and later in the (paper-sleeve?) Japanese issue. I’ll get there. Meantime, as I mentioned in another thread, I’m enjoying the jazzy sophistication of (parts of) Desplat’s score for The Secret Life of Pets 2. I need to get out more. But, you know, lockdown...

Whereas the UK is an example of [long political commentary removed by moderator - we won’t tell you again!] 😉

Yes to that. Though mine is the vinyl and I don’t think that will come round again any time soon. Same here. I never liked the album, I’m not even sure why I bought the box, but I really like it and it sounds wonderful.

We found literally one packet since this whole thing started. And I mean, who leaves only one packet?

Ohhhhhh. I’m not biting. More remainer propaganda. 😉 Any leads on spaghetti?

Personally I’m not angry - we just can’t find masks. Or hand sanitizer. Or spaghetti, come to that.

Well the headline was inevitable. I guess he is not used to being a public figure and nobody explained to him that he needed to be a bit more careful. Maybe they did. Government advice here is specific that you shouldn’t visit someone in order to hook up. He couldn’t be seen to be telling people one thing and doing another. He caught himself out unfortunately for him, and pulled other people into it.

Meanwhile, one of the government’s lead scientists of lockdown has resigned after breaking lockdown: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/05/05/exclusive-government-scientist-neil-ferguson-resigns-breaking/ Behind a paywall but you get the idea. Do they believe their own ‘advice’?

We all have a career like that here on the board 😉
