Interesting tat (1 Viewer)

[Anthony]

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.

Not for long. I predict the arse falling out of the vinyl market with 5 years. Probably less.

by then we'll all be listening to AI generated music whose selling point is that it's generated as it's being played and can't be recorded.

Bring back the days where records could be had for cheap,and not as an investment but because it was good,or even looked like it might be worth a chance.

Or even better,you would find something and just buy it to give to a mate because they needed to hear it.

weirdly specific price too. 'i'll list it at €920 so someone can bid me on it and i might get 900'

Just wanted to point out that it's been reduced to 800 euro now.

there's definitely a midlands rural town look about them all tbh.

I can see them sitting in an opel manta outside a chipper on a summer evening somewhere

@Jill Hives I would also love that larder that I have no space whatsoever for. I've this ongoing internal discussion about getting the kitchen down to absolute calm minimum of everything kinda idea and in that imagined version of life I have something like that which i feed the entire household from.

That looks like one of those things that looks good in the shop, get it home and it'll look like garbage.

Also, I hate that I say garbage now.

Oh, it totally needs some care and a bright colour like a Dublin door.

we got what something in a similar style which i think is called a flour station, which i stripped and painted - enamel top, for rolling dough. my wife has a notion to use it to place a sink into it, and use it in a bathroom. i don't think it's sturdy enough, alas.

the sales guy who originally sold me it told me it had come out of the convent in drumcondra, and had been used by mother teresa when she was there. i was able to remember enough to be able to tell him that it was rathfarnham she lived in when she was in ireland, not drumcondra. still, top marks for effort.

I never knew Mother Teresa lived in Ireland, let alone Rathfarnham.

these were very common in mid-century ireland I think.

Lots of older folk round me growing up had them. middle door folder down to provide a surface to work/bake off of (never heard the flour station but makes sense)
