Re: utterly random picture thread.
With the ever popular, for the young and trendy ahem, Shirt King, Saturdays market day was really busy. Remember seeing a new, as they hadn't been out long M1V Cortina in the tricorn with milk crates under the axles and all the wheels gone.Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Sun Sep 15, 2024 9:19 am Guess you might also be familiar with the former Tricorn centre in Portsmouth?
There was discussion for ages about tearing down this properly 1960s brutalist concrete shopping bunker.
In the end they got rid of the ugly building and replaced it with a beautiful car park

Re: utterly random picture thread.
There appears to be a big market for" previously loved" ex 80s music bands doing the rounds, went to a Squeeze one last week ( very very good)who were backed up by The Beat, also had a couple of unknowns (to me) playing, saw Billy Idol a few weeks ago, tribute bands also seem to do well.

Council usually pay for all the concerts, including Disturbed a few years ago.

I had a couple of mates with AP50's and a couple with Fizzies, they were the only road going mopeds I tried. My choice was a little different:Sadlonelygit wrote: ↑Tue Sep 17, 2024 5:58 pm This was joint fastest along with some kind of fantic
