It just popped up in my Readly library and it’s the Sex Pistols cover.

Wishing you all the very best. Tried to donate to the GoFundMe, but it won’t let me – either via PayPal or credit card, saying something about international regulations. (I have the same issue donating to t […]

Sorry to hear of the diagnosis Niall and continued best wishes for your ongoing recovery. But, you have three things in your favour…. The early diagnosis, the continued advancement of cancer treatment (side n […]

You could just play the CD

And you expect Ocado to deliver to your island in Wales ?

Good to hear that Janet is back. It will make the world of difference – my wife did say that just having someone there, knowing that someone was looking out for her very need, made it so much easier in those […]

Thanks Peter. I tried playing with the EQ – boosting the lower frequencies by about 5-6dB and the sound was very distorted. I also managed to find the old cable (I swapped as the plastic coating had degraded). […]

Remember that to hire a car / drive in Japan, you will need an International Driving Licence.

Thanks Peter – I will check out both recommendations. Yep – I know what you mean about how both appear to be damaged. It’s puzzling me – and I spent many years doing failure analysis in the electronics industry […]

Yes – they are MMCX connectors. I swapped the cable about a year ago (and this issue only started a week ago) as the cable plastic had degraded. I am getting the issue on both ear pieces, which would suggest it’s […]

I did check that – stripped them down and replaced the sound filters (they have balanced, detailed treble and dynamic bass – I swapped to the bass) No signs of any gang in there.

Feel free to message me if any specific questions

One of our favourite destinations – we seem to have been every year for the past few years (that said it’s relatively near from Singapore). Whilst Kyoto / Osaka are tourist hotspots, if you have not been b […]

1975 to 1985 you say- then it’s got to be Metal Machine Music by Mr Reed….. it’s the velvetiness that gave it away

I’m also looking forward to the 6N. As an Englishman, even though things are not looking great for Wales, I am still very very wary of Rees-Zammit at full back.

Well someone’s going to say it, so may as well be me…… Keir Starmer – Barry Manilow- the album with “Mandy” on it. (I could look it up but after a couple of glasses of Bordeaux and an Octomore 13.3, I can’t be bothered)

Talking of Le Carre, what’s the opinion on the new season on Night Manager ? (I know this one is not really Le Carre). I have it lined up to watch, but with the first season being a superb bit of telly, I am s […]

That’s good to know – I have the Oppo 205 and now they have stopped making them (and even repairing them) I do sometimes ponder what I will do if it starts to have issues. It’s a fantastic player.

It’s worth noting that both are in HD on iPlayer and so better quality than the original DVD or PVR recordings (and can be downloaded using a bit of software). I presume these were shot on film and so are t […]
