My holidays are usually set around cities with great record shops so I can add to the collection. My lad likes to tag along too. He especially loves London and has been badgering me to take him to New York. Highly doubt we can get back to any of this, this year but we remain hopeful.

I think we have plenty of those who support this club. 
 

 

Could be right Bob, however, this is UK and its got four class systems of entitlement... plus Leeds.

Turned Sky Sports on, just in time to hear that apparently Leeds are becoming everyone’s second favourite team.

What planet are these lot on ??

Anyone who has scumbag united as a 2nd team knows nowt about ther history. 

Its like saying ” look, Osama Bin Laden is back, but he is ok now because he has got a fancy suit on”! 

Journalists and tv/radio broadcasters are having a love fest about them. Meh. 

Sooner they and their self entitled supporters are put back in their box the better. Sooooooon please.

The most annoying thing for me is Martin Tyler, numerous on sports media saying “ Leeds United, back where they belong” which basically alludes to them being a big, well known famous, succesful club in periods of history. 

Does that mean that Preston North End and Blackpool also belong there then. 

Does it also mean that Bournemouth, Swindon, Barnsley, Bradford didnt belong there?

He has achieved a miracle, to get that Leeds team to win the league by 10 points. 
Incredible.

from game 1 they were unrecognisable. 

they face a big test but if Sheffield United can do well, then Leeds can survive too.

i hate them as much as anyone, but I can’t help admire what the mad bugger has achieved.

Not correct RamNut mate. Im pretty sure I hold the title as Derbys biggest most passionate Leeds hating fan mate. Be gutted if its not me.

Clues in the name . Didn't spot it.  In that case you can disregard everything I said as baalocks. Why would your parcel be at Heathrow . lol.

Use discogs a fair bit myself, it's a good site but I do tend to get them to cross ref the matrix run outs now as a bit of a first press junkie and had a few incorrect listings sent to me.  Ordered a signed Damned lp that was supposed to be white vinyl . Turned up unsigned and black .  That was probably my favourite .

Hope it turns up soon .

I will be having something to say if this one turns up and its not a Canadian blue vinyl copy!! 

Ive had my collection on discogs for a while but this is the first time i have decided to purchase from the site. I really miss going record shopping and being able to be out and about digging in the crates and shelves.

Did the seller provide a usps tracking number. You'll find it's probably at Heathrow distribution centre if you have one and track it.. At the minute items are there for about 7 days. Then there might be a delay at the local office if there's a custom charge.  It shouldn't take longer than two weeks to get from the states to the you.

Thanks for info. We sent a small parcel to Derby from Sweden which took almost a month during the pandemic. Im sure it will arrive shortly. Trying to be patient. 

I brought the record on Discogs, a well known music site and the seller is highly scored. Payment was paypal too so we are safe.

Any joy today?

No mate. Its coming from USA so I guess there are going to be delays on parcels and the like. 

Ive brought a Canadian copy of The Clash first album. Blue sleeve and blue vinyl. Bleedin thing hasnt arrived yet though. Im sitting by the window at 11.00am every morning pining for the postman.

Billions is on showtime not HBO. At least over here. 

Really enjoyed the first two seasons but it's become predictable imho. 

Agree. Predictable but still quite enjoyable. 

Billions ive quite enjoyed on HBO. 

The writer or director of series 4 is so obviously a fan of The Clash too. 

I left home first time in 1981 to join the forces. In Germany and wherever else we got stationed it was literally a case of finding English Sunday morning papers, tuning into British Forces radio or even phoning home at 20.00 on Saturday night just to find the result.

Fast forward to me coming to Sweden in 1999. The rare game on Swedish telly showing DCFC. Mobile phones and internet gave us Radio Derby. Apps gave us Radio Derby commentary out and about.

So, this new current advent of Rams TV and me being able to actually watch every league match is basically the best thing ever as far as Im concerened.

Now Im waiting for the 360 cameras and VR games so I can view it all as if Im in the stadium. Wont be long now.

That was bizarre. It looked innoucous, like a reflex punch which just knocked Groves' senses. Right on the temple. One of the weirdest KO punches I've ever seen. It wasn't even a planned counter like he put his weight into it.

Great victory for Smith, but I thought Groves was winning up until that point.

Thats the thing I love about boxing Bris... I agree, couldnt see anyone but Groves winning and then BAM..out of nowhere. Astonishing. 

Cracking left that was...not that dull.

Joe Calazaghe here too. 

I've never seen the Hagler v Hearns fight but it's supposed to be a mad one isn't it? 

One of the craziest Alpha. It's on YouTube mate. That Hagler was just a bit special too. 

112 pages in and Im not sure if this has been done on the thread before. If it has then ignore me... If it hasnt then feel free to join in.

Favourite boxer of our/your lifetime. 

Thomas Hearns for me. Wow..exciting crazy fighter.

Joshua’s changed my mind, 2 years ago I thought he was overrated and relied on nothing but his power. I thought that he was an ok boxer but nothing much apart and would be exposed in the latter rounds which is why I thought he’d be exposed against the likes of Parker, Klitchscho etc. I guess you could call me a Joshua hater then.  Now I think he’s the real deal. I can’t see anyone beating him. Fury a few years ago probably would be very close but I can’t ever see him ever getting back to that level. I can see Joshua going unbeaten his whole boxing heavyweight career and retire within 5 years before making a transfer to mma(which he’s spoken about in the past).

I think AJ actually learns from each fight he has and improves. 

Made my month that has mate. Awesome job. With the papers and news full of horror, doom and gloom I'm sure glad there's still decent folk like yersen about.

Reduced to watching live text on BBC

Me too mate

Scuse the language but what a **** **** **** service. Sort your problems out Derby. I notice you keep taking money from me monthly.

In the first few games I could only watch on my Mac book and not iPad. I wrote to them about this as I'm out and about quite a bit and prefer to to take my iPad along with me. Received a message back saying that only laptops and computers were to be the platform for the time being and now from I think the Sheff United game it's been fixed for iPads too. I'm not totally sure those in charge of it all know exactly what's going on. Tech stuff huh!!

Have you tried using Chrome browser?

Yups..tried Chrome, Safari, Google...it just kept re showing the Gibson pre match show..and those ghastly ads.

Im in Spain and had no problems at all, watched on the ipad and also listened to audio on an android phone for a bit after the game.

What problems did you have ?

Hi Eddie. I'm in Sweden and was trying to watch on iPad and it didn't work. Our internet speed here is 4g and works fine generally. I wrote to the help centre as first half I couldn't get the stream to work at all and received the following reply...

"Hi,

Strange that some iPads work and others not then. My lap top is on my work desk and I don't fancy lugging it home every time there is a game on. I noticed the platform they stream on ( Colin Gibsons pre match show which I could watch, did not link to my Apple TV. No icon top right of screen). 

Puzzeled now. 

Not a gamer myself but just seen this thread. As head of North Sweden's latest Innovation Hub I get to work with a lot of gaming companies and affiliates from graphics and 3/4D...
