If I had to guess, I'd say he's a brain surgeon and you're one of the experiments that went wrong.

Am I right, or am I right?

Wait till he retires! He'll suddenly need his own clothes every day, which might be a shock to him. :) Among other shocks.

(I speak from experience--my husband is "partly" retired . . . .)

Do people still use radios? We mostly use the radio in our gramophone player, but I see in our house that we still have one or two transistor radios.

Re: Old-Fashioned Stuff That Still Functions
 

Only as a last resort, when I don't have something with me that I can play my own selection of music on. I don't see any point listening to a radio that doesn't tune to Radio 2.

Re: Old-Fashioned Stuff That Still Functions
 

We have a radio in most rooms.. our kitchen radio is a period piece, early 1980s bright blue Sharp am/fm with dual cassette. The cassette part has been out of commission for at least 20 years, but the radio is still perfect. We bought it in England, the only electrical item we brought with us.

Re: Old-Fashioned Stuff That Still Functions
 

What is radio 2?

Robin, can we really say it is a period piece from the eighties? Makes it sound like people of our age are dinosaurs!

Re: Old-Fashioned Stuff That Still Functions
 

BBC Radio. What people who listened to Radio 1 in their teens start listening to in their 30s (though for me it was my early 20s and I never listened to Radio1 :lol:)

Anything original and unchanged from any time is a 'period piece'. Doesn't make a difference if that's the 1930s, 1970s or 1990s, really.

Re: Old-Fashioned Stuff That Still Functions
 

80s? No.. dinosaurs were from the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous Periods!

I listen to Radios 2 - 6 on the Beeb via the computer.

Radio 1 makes me want to go out and shoot people.

Re: Old-Fashioned Stuff That Still Functions
 

I can listen to it on the computer as well but not sure if that counts as a radio, in reference to Primula's original question. Usually I don't though, it just makes me wish I was back there.

My wife, ironically, listens to Radio 1 on her computer. She likes a lot of the crap they play on there though ...

Re: Old-Fashioned Stuff That Still Functions
 

That sounds like a good reason for divorce on the grounds of either total incompatability, or mental cruelty.

Re: Old-Fashioned Stuff That Still Functions
 

What, after Prim's just congratulated him??

Re: Old-Fashioned Stuff That Still Functions
 

Nah, she keeps it to herself and in turn I don't force her to listen to Tubular Bells or Thick as a Brick. It works.

We essentially met through a shared interest in bands such as Led Zeppelin and The Beatles, or at least that's how she came across my profile online, so it all works out.

'S OK. The anniversary isn't until November anyway. She could boot me out well before then :lol:
