I just got a YES record (90125) and although I have this cassette and dont like it very much! (Doesnt sound very good) THE RECORD IS AMAZING!!!!!!

I guess records are the way to go!!! (I have always known that but I have had several cassettes/records where the records sound MUCH NICER than the same album on cassette!)

I almost didnt get this record as it had alot of white streaks on it,etc...... Wasnt taken care of very well..... But I gave the record A COMPLETE CLEANING and got 99% of the white streaks out of it (Still a few light streaks (Not very visible)).....


IM GLAD I GOT IT!!!!!

My band have a gig 2 days later so hopefully this doesn't end badly for my hearing.

I remember going to see the original Motorhead back in late October 1980 on their Bomber tour at Manchester Apollo. It was a great night, my ears haven't been the same since! :D

l think that's a excellent idea nash as we find buying people presents is not a good idea sometimes as they often they do not like the presents even though they do not say it and at least if they have a voucher or money they can get what they want with it.

Oh very nice. What did you have beforehand? I went from a 32" to a 42" and feels like a cinema screen in comparison.

Just checked out the TV and looks a blinder. :tu:

We have a, 'Makro Manager's Special', dirt cheap Phillips 37" It has been a good basic TV, but the inner laminate on the screen has started to peel back and give us a wavy dark shadow down one side.

The thing that has surprised us is that the new 40" TV is smaller overall than the 37" which had a 6cm wide frame. We thought that TV was light weight but this new one, with it's 1cm wide frame, only weighs 9kg

Can't wait to get the new set up delivered on Tuesday so that I can have a play sorting out the WiFi and tweaking all the settings. :D

That sounds like a neat gadget. It would struggle to make any sense of our totally random heating needs but I can see the advantages if you have any form of routine to your lives. :)

Nice, we just had a 'Hive' thermostat installed

Similar remote function via a mobile phone, etc, but without the learning capabilities.
