I want the £10 one
And the lamps?
Thanks for the info - I've been putting this moment off for about 25 years!
Where can I get the £10 one from?It's not a "rubber band", you bloody Philistine, it's a "drive belt"!.
BTW, belt for a TD-126 is anything between £10-35, depending on where you look, and whether you want a Thorens original, or a "white box" special.
And the lamps?

Hardly getting over it.
It took me until my Dual was playing 45s at about 38rpm to change mine.
Thorens turntable drive belt for a Thorens TD-126 available on eBay from Malvern Audio (a good company. I've used them for several years).
Your lamps are more problematic, as custom parts seem to be only available from one supplier in Europe, and he's quite expensive.

I see that - thanks. The lamps used to be standard RS components types. Maybe I should search Maplin?

Prince Charles and the Angel pub Wednesday 20th June 2012
here is the link to the BBC news report of Prices Charles' visit to the Angel
More on this issue from the TalkTalk website
ITN report (on Youtube)
I know I'm getting on in years and have not got long to go.....
BUT who ARE these people????
Local people being helped by a £5.4 million pound Big Lottery Grant - I ask you!
I bet Prince Charles didn't venture 10 feet east of his new Eden to give counsel to the Alcoholics (wrong type of alcoholics!)

BIC have got a track record of charitable do-goodery though. And with funding being massively cut from the sector (from LA, Gov and philanthropic giving) people are turning to the private sector (and to some extent social enterprise) as the answer. Not quite realising that the recession has hit private business too, so all they really have to offer is skills / management / capacity training.
£4.8m is a whopper of a grant though. No surprise given the new Chair of the BLF is an ex-Tory MP.

No.
I wonder if that was why he was getting angry at the photocopier in Brixton Library the day before this!

More details (it's England wide, not just Brick Box types) and the specific Lambeth person:
http://www.bitc.org.uk/business_connectors/profiles.html#london_lambeth_will_popham
He twits here: http://twitter.com/#!/willpopham
and an exploration as to how social finance sits in the current world of funding:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/sustainable-business/social-entrepreneurs-corporates-finance-collaboration
It's as painfully trendy as Granville Arcade at the moment, but won't really have any impact on the majority of the intended beneficiaries (it still doesn't address the problem that there's a funding shortage, it just seems to think that a new legal structure will allow new money to be magicked out of the air)

Isn't that what part of Corporate Social Responsibility is anyway? It's the cuddly side to private business. Some do it for truly philanthropic purposes and others to wash their image.
The charity / third sector is always being hectored to be 'more professional' whatever that means. Some of it is self evident - e.g. better financial management and income forecasting, but taking a more business approach can mean that they might no longer be providing the services or support their 'customer'* wants, but is cheapest.
* to use a business term

CSR is another PR exercise for business. Never means much in practise.
After reading the article its more than getting the voluntary sector to be more efficient. Its saying that profit driven business is best placed to help areas.
I wish business would stick to business. This is ideological. If they want to do anything they can donote money to local causes.
Sorry about post 650 seem to have got the quotation marks mixed up. Have to sort it out later at home.

I just popped in en route to the Post Office. Besuited Asian guy on the gate (that's where the entrance is)
Very polite - in the manner of those phone calls "We've received information from Microsoft's technical department that your computer is running slow..... please give us yr credit card number and the number on the back etc etc"
He invited me to come back later - I explained that I was in an austerity situation courtesy of IDS, and would come back tomorrow.
Not many exhibitors there. No sign of the Eritrean Coffee for example.
No blacks (as far as I could see).
Looked for all the world like a village fête in Stowmarket as sponsored by John Peel (whose funeral I attended in Bury St Edmunds Cathedral).

@Saltoun supper club - pretentious - moi??
Try this for a scrumtious treat (Ingredients from Lidl - cost to make - 30p)
Pomme à Merkle
Take ONE rotten Braeburn apple lovingly and organically grown in the Po valley region of Italy
Roast in the microwave for 90 seconds @650 w (or until fully cooked)
Garnish with fully matured Greek natural yoghurt made from pure milk hand milked from herds grazed in the Bavarian Alps
Mmmm delicious. Maybe I should take a stall at the BirkWorks Saturnalia Fest this weekend
Must be worth at LEAST £7 to a genuine JP Morganite executive (on bonus)
Maybe now UBS rogue trader Kweku Adoboli has been tagged and released on bail I should invite him to the frolics. At least then they would be able to boast one black customer (albeit in serious negative equity)!
