Oh my frigging God. Oh Jesus christ, what manner of shit are the apparant top bods in there wearing.

The poor counter staff have to put up with such fashion crimes on a daily basis from their bosses, and not actually laugh. They deserve some kind of medal.

On arival i saw some crazy pumped up bloke faffing in the carpark, i honestly thought it was some odd job man what with the steel toe caps and sweatband combo, he was also wearing some bizarre sweatpant short/ muscle vest atire that he had actually cut off around his tummy to make it a crop top! And he had a 4 months preggo bump, as Jonno pointed out with cellulite which is weird. He had, get this, a lilac Porche 911 with a plate saying 'vinyl' on it. Gay as Shooms i tell you.

Do I really have to shag you to prove I'm not gay ? :p

As for HTFR that poor man's Wolf from Gladiator is quite an infamous Midland Z-list 'celebrity'.... he's been Central Weekend a fair few times as well as 'starring' in a documentary about him being a stripper with loads of birds on the go....

Makes me laugh that Jason (the MD) is (or was the last time I saw him) still stuck in 1991 with long hair in a pony tail, lime green jeans & a yellow Naf Naf style sweat top lol

Known Jason to say hello to since they opened & to be fair it's ony since they went global they've become pricks (Mike Cawlish who used to work there was a fuckin good lad & ID'd/tracked down shedloads of tunes for me). All the seasoned & experienced staff have left n they are hiring unknowledgable YT monkeys with the attitude of Niaomi Campbell...

brummy

Yeah, was in Birmingham today, so I thought id check out the hard to find shop. Shit the bed, it isn’t called hard to find for nothing, took me 1 hour to find the bleeding place.:mad:

Spent around 3mins looking around the shop and just left as I realised there’s nothing there unless’ you know what you want which defeats the object of going in the first place because you could buy cheaper from the net.

3min was too long in that place and il never go back.........

P.S saw that porche :rofl: (what a tosser)

Lol, i am going to sart using 'shit the bed' myself, its a goodun that. And your right, it is hard to find. Hey did you go in that pub next door? If i had known you were going you could have picked up that half a joint i left inthe third cubicle in the ladies, i thought i would be popping back in but didn't. Anyone passing that way feel free to have it, its behind the stack of loo rolls. Its made with dead good pollen, so its worth it lol.

Hard To Find is a strange place.

There seems to be a two tier system with the staff; the poor beggers on the desk with the head sets on, and then the gay mafia wandering round. The one Amelie has mentioned was bizarrely gay, but he wasn't the only one, there were loads of other blokes wandering round who wouldn't look out of place in a video such as "big, brum, and bent". I felt sorry for the other members of staff; the normal one's. As such I'll probably be kinder if I ever have cause to complain in the future, those poor bastard have got a shit job in the first place.

As for decks; before I set off I had decided on a pair of Vestax PDX2300 Mk II Pro's, although I wasn't planing on getting them from Hard To Find I was going to get them from Sapphires (www.decks.co.uk), that said though Hard to Find were willing to price match Sapphires on the pair. However when I saw them in the flesh i wasn't majorly impressed, and Amelie was downright unimpressed. They looked plastic and cheap and had no weight to them. In the end I went for the Stanton ST 150, and now I've got them home I have to say I'm darned impressed with them (more impressed than my Technics believe it or not). Hard to Find actually beat Sapphires by £15 so I got them from there in the end as well.

One gripe I did have about Hard to Find was that they made you leave any records you already have in lockers by the entrance. I'd been to the Music Exchange just down the road and picked up 20+ tunes (loads of good un's; Dilemma In Spirit on Energy, Morgan King I'm Free, Slam Mixes etc - all 50p each!). Anyway I left them in the locker and only remembered about them when I was on the M6! Which meant I had to go back into Birmingham, so after I got my records back I took the locker key home with me (just out of spite really).
