I reckon the hand held calculator has had its day. Most phones have one.
And don't say slippers.

The BBC with its TV license or at least it should be on the scrapheap!

Can't see it KP. They're even talking about making the over 75's pay for a full licence.karlypants wrote:The BBC with its TV license or at least it should be on the scrapheap!
For some of them, it's their only company. They need a TV more than anyone. Miserable bastards those BBC oiks.
One thing that was supposed to be making a comeback was the good old record player, but I don't know anyone who has one.

I do wonder if the reason to scrap over 75’s free licence is due to a loss in revenue from youngsters who simply don’t watch live telly now and just stick to YouTube, Netflix, catchup tv etc.
It should be made as a subscription based service like sky.

I think Johnny bought a record player not so long back too.

Over here I pay around 55 Euro every 3 months. Even if you don't own a TV, if you have a Computer or Tablet or Mobile Phone you still have to pay because you have access to TV online. If you are the only person in Germany who doesn't have any of those, but owns a Radio or has a Car with a Radio then you have to pay for that which is probably about half the price we pay. Many people say that you can get away with it by refusing the inspectors entry to your house if they come knocking, but they are crafty gits, so you better also hide your car, and is it really worth ending up on the Schufa blacklist (credit rating) by trying to not pay for something that you should be paying for....

I've got a record player but its in the attic and its been there for about 25 years! I've still got loads of LPs. For the younger ones amongst us that's long playing vinyl records.

What will go soon is car keys as virtually every car has now got remote controlled locks.

Still got a few LP's, but nothing to play them on. Won't be cluttering the place up with a record player any time soon. They've had their day.
Maybe CD's are on the way out too.

Vinyl is seeing a resurgence, it's going to be here for a while longer.
Buying digital is a mugs game. It's worthless the minute you hand over your cash.

I have a kindle, but there's nothing like the feel and smell of a physical book.

I couldn't agree more. You can't spend hours putting your digital downloads in alphabetical order.

Political correctness, it is festering like a huge puss filled bright red Boil and it is going to get pricked. I was watching an episode of Private Eye on Talking Pictures Frank Marker starring Alfred Burke ,i like all things 60's at the begining was the usual warnings and underneath was warning may contain outdated attitudes. That's it they can fuck right off from now on i'm going to let it flow.

Two different things. Don't want to be lugging half a dozen books on my holidays and folk can't see what you're reading on a Kindle so it prevents dumbass questions.xmiles wrote:boltonbonce wrote:Records and books are very tactile.

And I ain't going to strap a record player to my head in the gym.

Yes I have a kindle for travel but at home I prefer a proper book.

I'm wondering if TV's have had their day. I myself watch online 99% of the time.
