Maybe we should have a thread ‘things the real Johnny likes’

It could be a competition.

Pete may not have the server space

Pete may not have the server space

if he has server space for the multiple 'is punk still going?'/'punk-counter-punk'/'my ma is punk' arguments currently ongoing - he has room to celebrate the likes, dislikes and whims of @therealjohnny

Again - I reckon this would be appreciated by @therealjohnny

there's some bananas stuff on sale on adverts. i saw a lad selling a lens for my olympus SLR which i was interested in, and thought 'i wonder what other lenses he might have for sale'. he has this listed.

that is pretty bizzaro alright.

I always find weird things that clearly took a huge amount of imagination and effort oddly compelling.

maybe it was a leaving cert woodwork project ;-)

You lads are wasting your time making guitars.

Here is one of my favourite pieces of interesting rubbish. My brother had a job clearing offices and used to get me all sorts of crap. Unfortunately, it's missing the weight. I have no idea what it could have been but it would have been small and really heavy.

"
A unique model which graphically illustrates the effect on the spine of a bad lifting posture.

The figure will raise a weight from either of two clearly marked positions. If the correct position is used the spine is not distorted.

The incorrect posture causes obvious distortion to the spine. The base incorporates anatomical illustrations of the effect upon the spine and a background booklet is provided."

I just found out that if it was all intact and in better condition it could be worth up to 200 sterling

there are few bargains to be had in the record shops of dublin these day's I'm afraid.

these kids and their 'vinyls' have ruined it for everyone else.
