There was once a time, a long time ago, when we used to have collections of vinyl and tapes and even cd's.

This is splendid.

I've still got my collections of records.Then again I haven't bought a record or indeed tape,cd for myself for decades.

I love you all.

There was a time Hindle. When we understood another, you and I.

Another,or each other ?.I don't even understand myself.

This one isn't showing for me

I took it as being minimalist.

Can't do the fancy music inlay. But this takes me back.

Notice the cagoule. It spent the day being really sunny then pissing it down then sunny then pissing it down again.

Nobody calls them cagoules anymore. They're like outdoor sports coats or some shit like that.

And it's a shame because cagoule is such a splendid word.

I remember taking the picture but after about 12 miles with it pissing it down for about half the time I wasn't really appreciating much at all. In fact I was a tad grumpy. It's nice isn't it though?

The problem is I went on a massive and awesome pub crawl last Tuesday so have no idea myself what that video was.

So in the spirit of things being a mystery here is Toyah.

I don't understand anything either Hindle.

I guess it's our age.

I mean why are all the clothes I buy online too small? Are people tiny now?

I don't notice this as as I walk along the street, some kind of dimunition in scale of the populace.

Perhaps large people like you and I are now frowned upon because we use up more resources.

In the future humans will be titchy, like the Romans.

Everybody is getting incredibly tall to me,only my mum is smaller,I am five foot 6 in heels,all my trousers get frayed because they are too long and I walk on them.Perhaps there is a sort of increased division between the tallees and the smallees and nobody being the average leading to the battle that ends civilisation,or maybe I am the non incredible shrinking man destined to end life as a fag end in an ashtray.It's good to be nuts in a good way,I find it either disarms people in not knowing what to say or enjoin in the insanity

Damn it I'm aware of the fact I keep putting the same songs on again and again.

We all do.

But at least I make the effort to listen to 6music to hear new and original things.

Anyway here's the Crucifucks.

As a word cagoule needs to be saved.

Cagoule.

Just let that swim around your mouth.

Isn't it wonderful?

And then there's always this...

At the risk of showing off, I have two cagoules. One for the summer. One for the winter.
Both, however, are called: "my cagoule"

Anyone with two cagoules gains my attention.

Traversed the streets of Nottingham,they changed the route because of people complaining it was too flat though I suspect it was just sadism.Done it fifteen times and still get lost getting back to the bus station,I am sure they move it every year just to confuse me.Big heavy medals seem to be thing now,they used to do lace which was cool.

You wanted a picture,here's one entitled "Sprint Finish"

Victoria Embankment Recreation Ground,Nottingham.

Scoff if you like,but I didn't need my brother's assistance and only had one fag break on route,kindly donated by a member of a steel band.I take the description "fun runner",very seriously.

searched google images for "cagoule" and must admit to being rather taken aback:

Wonderful

What impressed me most Hindle are those shorts.

Did you get them in about 1982?

Seriously though kudos on completing a marathon. I tried the Great North Run once and about halfway I decided to stop and check what the rather insistent pain in my big toe was and my bloody toenail was hanging off. Never tried a marathon since and shan't try another if bits of me are likely to come off painfully.

You may well of been in the same event as me,I did it for about a dozen times,camping at South Shields.When it became a ballot I stopped and gave others a chance.Four people died one year,so you got off lightly.As to the shorts,not far off 1985,I know this because they were bought for me in the first year I started doing them.I take the piss out of myself,but for someone who chains smokes,doesn't train I was quite good at them -1 hr 30ish for half,3.30 ish full,I say ish because there was non of this individual chip timing,your time was from when it started,I always start towards the back,now it is a case of not dying.I am extremely fortunate,apart from the expected coughing fit,ever earlier,I don't get as much as a blister(I'll probably disintegrate on the next one,now I have said that)

You camped in South Shields?

Shit, you've gone way up n my respect meter.

Near the end of the race,it was a proper site.I just got there the night before usually in pitch dark set it up,slept,dismantled it,in morning ,lugged it via bus to the race start put in baggage bus and lugged it back home afterwards.It was about a fiver to stay.

I remember running for the county in a cross country race when I was about 14 in South Shields and there were kids in the bushes with sticks whipping our legs as we ran past.

Fucking little shits.

Since then I lived in Newcastle for 8 years and can with some confidence say I got off lightly.

Seemed to be all take aways from station to campsite.

If you can listen to this without smiling you are a monster.

I wouldn't do it now.Happened to live in designated rough areas,indeed no go areas -Toxteth during the 80's etc,at the time I never thought about it much.

I am actually tired,so goodnight.Thanks for the words and music.

I smiled,therefore not monster at least temporarily.


-evidence.

(Adds cheesecake to shopping list)

You're a good man Hindle.

I can remember Kevin Keegan wearing those shorts.

Or ones like them.

Funny you should say that.....

Vest is from Boston,I still have" original" one.Trainers are a different matter,they last about 6/7 years and bottoms gets eroded,I have a strange gait-one side goes down far quicker than the other,until the angle gets ridiculous/fall apart.

Yes but why are you wearing shorts from 1982?

There's no excuse anymore for that kind of nonsense.

[youtube]hjHLketLOVM[/youtube]

Once they were good.

They still function as shorts.Clothes are not "fashion" to me,I have wardrobes of still labelled attempts by others to update.

Just had a dream about Kevin Keegan driving a truck.

It may be time to retire this thread for a while soon?
