RE: fancy a nice ruby murray... whilst watching your favourite dvd?

There are only a few items that you need most times cooking a basic/basic-tarted up curry:

Whole Cumin Seeds (you don`t need Cumin Powder as you can grind the seeds)
Chilli Powder
Turmeric Powder
Cardamom Pods
Paprika Powder
Garam Masala
Whole Black Pepper
Dried Red Chillies
you may as well get a small, fresh piece of ginger.

everything else you will probably use very rarely, if at all.

RE: WHARFEDALE M5 BLEW UP

Saxton, can you recommend somewhere where it could be fixed? Do Maplin do repairs? Or would a bog-standard electrician be able to do it?

RE: WHARFEDALE M5 BLEW UP

UPDATE:

Have replaced the mini fuse and plug fuse. The mini gets blown straight away. I`ve replaced it three times with the same result.

I think it`s scrap but if anyone has any sincere advice then please post it.

RE: WHARFEDALE M5 BLEW UP

Thanks guys, have got the dvd out, so that`s something.

Saxton, I assumed that the flash and the bang came from the fuse, when it blew? I can`t see any evidence of any other part being visibly damaged. I guess I`ll just have to get a replacement fuse and see what happens.

RE: WHARFEDALE M5 BLEW UP

plug it in where? At the back or do I need to open the PC up?

WHARFEDALE M5 BLEW UP

Put DVD in. Flash. Bang. Player dead. Change plug fuse. Open up and, a ha!, a tiny fuse on one of the circuit boards has burn out.

1. Has this happened to anyone else?
2. Where can I get a mini-fuse from? B&Q?
3. How do you get the DVD out when there is no power?

RE: Argos DVD sale - Futurama Season 1 £12.99

Pete_L , a load of people were refunded yesterday but no-one had been re-charged. The thought was that Argos may be waiting until their deadline date of the 10th before they start recharging people for the £12.99.

Queries don`t appear to be being addressed, other than saying that the order will be fulfilled.

hope that helps

There is a multiregion hack for the Thomson 24WT25UG combo, or a similar model, floating around.

Has anyone used it?

What is the problem with flipper discs?

Just picked up some cheap DVDs and some are `flippers`. A lot of people seem to indicate flipper discs are a bad thing. If you have a film on one side and the extras on the other then what`s the problem?

RE: EzyDvd Customers

I wouldn`t give them any of those things. I would diplomatically say do they want your custom or not? Arrange to send a cheque, if it`s still a problem. Or speak to a different person there to make sure the advisor isn`t pulling a fast one. Although, in theory they`ve already got your credit card details so could do you anyway.

RE: Wot no bargins?...

Which part of thedvdforums has the bargains. All I can see on the `DVD and Movie Forum` is a load of different threads about general movie discussion. And on the `Supplier Forum` I found desperate questions like this: Does anyone know where I could buy a Neutradol Car Air Freshener refill online? Do you have to wade through all that crap to find the cheap finds on that part of the site?

RE: DVD Crave : mid-year sale + another 15% off

What`s a safe-ish customs limit?

Check out the Rocky S:E. cover sleeve. I don`t remember Nicholas Cage being in but at that price who cares ;)

RE: Goodfellas £7.99 (or £2.99 with Safe Door Voucher)

£7.99 is a pretty standard price for Goodfellas. I signed up with Safe Door last week and picked up The Usual Suspects: SE (Region 1) for £7.99 (including the £5 voucher). I think when it comes out here in a few weeks it is £22. Both top notch movies however.
