Drop dead Jeff

Misanthrope. Photographer. Loathe kids. Born cynical & went downhill from there. Most views bile & filth. Atheist. Dropped dead, didn't like it, came back.

@LeahRebeccaUK @Mattisamazing33 Even on repeated viewings, I’m amazed the volleyball scene doesn’t end in a daisy chain!

[Drop dead Jeff @shark_keeper]

@LeahRebeccaUK @Mattisamazing33 Yes, it is. Don’t care that it’s a BMW in a posh frock, it’s a bloody good car. Unlike an old Mini, I won’t have an engine sat in my lap if I hit anything at more than 8 mph! 😘

@LeahRebeccaUK @Mattisamazing33 My first three Minis were that colour. More recently I’ve gone with this paint job, as a statement of intent.

[Drop dead Jeff @shark_keeper]

@SportScran Yeah, think they saw you coming, mate. That’s a bag of piss if ever I saw one…
What’d it taste like? 😂

@LeahRebeccaUK @hollywoodscifi I stopped watching when Chibnall took over. Weak storytelling, & Jodie Whittaker really struggled (So wanted her to be brilliant). Absolutely not her fault, you can only portray what you’re given & if what you’re given is weak as a wet paper bag, there’s only so much you can do.

@LeahRebeccaUK Hmmmmm. Shelby Mustang back end and Porsche 928 front end. Let’s hope it’s not Citroen 2CV in the middle…

[Drop dead Jeff @shark_keeper]

@LeahRebeccaUK I think I’m in love.

[Drop dead Jeff @shark_keeper]

@fesshole I thought I recognised you…

[Drop dead Jeff @shark_keeper]

@LeahRebeccaUK Nicely done

[Drop dead Jeff @shark_keeper]

@LeahRebeccaUK I hit sixty in March, though mostly still act like a petulant 12 year old.

[Drop dead Jeff @shark_keeper]

@Elidanza Definitely prefer the newer version. As good as the older version undoubtedly is, it does have the feel of not being quite finished. New version feels like the complete article.

@TrueNerth @anon_opin I get where you’re coming from, but Survivors was about the aftermath of a virus, not nuclear bombs. Clearly remember the glass flask being dropped in the opening credits. Scared the bejeezus out of nine year old me!

[Drop dead Jeff @shark_keeper]

@LeahRebeccaUK @ISedman So might get better overall performance from RP6/CM9 combo than RP3/703 combo, after all, speakers can only reproduce what’s fed into them. I’d certainly suggest the audition, & follow your own judgement. Between the RP6/Ania & the phono stage, it cost me £2k & worth every penny.

[Drop dead Jeff @shark_keeper]

@LeahRebeccaUK @ISedman Heard very good reports of the 703’s, though I might suggest also auditioning the Planar 6/Ania MC. Got my first RP3 near 30 years ago and absolutely adore them, but when I heard an RP6/Ania I was amazed how much more it pulled from the vinyl than the RP3. 1/2

[Drop dead Jeff @shark_keeper]

@ISedman @LeahRebeccaUK Nice kit. I now run Rega Planar 6/Ania MC, Rega Elex-R into B&W CM6 S2’s. Mid terrace house with walls half a mile thick, so no complaints yet, and I’ve been here two dozen years! One day I’ll win the lottery and get those B&W Nautilus, neighbours might bang on the walls then! 😂

[Drop dead Jeff @shark_keeper]

@anon_opin Welcome to capitalism…

[Drop dead Jeff @shark_keeper]

@ISedman @LeahRebeccaUK Yep, spot on. MF rep came in the shop, said these are basically a loss leader to get budget kit users into “Proper” MF stuff! Five hundred quid sound for £300.
To help convince us, he said we can have anything for a hundred quid. Bought amp/CD/tuner! 😂 Still using the tuner.

[Drop dead Jeff @shark_keeper]

@sgc929 @LeahRebeccaUK Quite agree, but then in 95/96 the Marantz CD63 mkii KI Signature turned up. I was selling hifi for a small independent then, so could audition just about everything, and tbh, it lived up to the hype. Exceptional piece of kit that outperformed some stuff that was twice the price.

[Drop dead Jeff @shark_keeper]

@LeahRebeccaUK @ISedman I have 30yr old Musical Fidelity amp & CD player just sitting around. They were bloody good for their price point (Though the amp could use a service), but I’ve got no friends (No surprises there) that would appreciate them. I keep them in case my Rega amp/Marantz CD have probs.
