Spiky Potatoes and Bus Stops
Was sitting on the top deck of the bus and noticed what can best be described as a potato with cocktail sticks sticking out of it on the tops of several bus stops - anyone else noticed these ? or have any clue what its all about ?
Jackie Chan Story
Jason Issacs was on the Jonathan Ross show a while back and told a really good Jackie Chan story - only a minute or so long - but very funny - available to view via youtube.

RE: Any good bargains in the sales?
Cant see any real bargains from the online sales - the worst sale I have seen so far would be Argos - many offers at "over £1 off" and in most case they mean one pound and a few pennies off - how they dignify those sort of reductions with a sale banner is beyond me. The rest of the sale offers from Argos are terrible.

Okay so opinions are very much towards this being the worst thing on TV for a long time - but - I liked it and its on sale at play.com for £6.99 - alot of people are going to say still overpriced - but for the few that might want to purchase..........................
That is all.
Amazon.co.uk price guarantee
Just to warn everyone - but you know Amazon used to have a price guarantee that they they would refund the difference if your purchase reduced in price within a month - it was never really advertised but if you knew about it and asked they would do the refund -I tried to use it recently and they say it has stopped from 01 September 2008 - I know a few people used this when the Star Trek HDD 1st season box set went down in price - it was a good policy and will be missed
That is all.

RE: Help - Virgin media to dvd recorder - sound but no picture
Tried a different scart lead - tried the other scart settings and have tried it on pal and multi settings - heres the weird thing - if I run the cable through my old dvd recorder and then hook the output from that to the input on the acoustic solutions then I get picture and sound from the digi box (as long as my old dvd recorders turned on) - really cant fathom why it will work when running through another dvd but not with a direct connection to the new one.
RE: Help - Virgin media to dvd recorder - sound but no picture
acoustic solutions DVD160RW300 and using scart leads to connect - output from digi box to input on dvd - then output from dvd to tv (tv only has 1 scart connection) - tried exactly the same connections with my old dvd recorder and everything works fine - dvd recorders scart settings are rgb or decoder - set to rgb - really cant work this out
thanks for any input

Help - Virgin media to dvd recorder - sound but no picture
Recently bought an acoustic solutions dvd recorder with hard drive - connected it up to my virgin media digi box - thats when the problems started.
Can get sound(and record sound) but no picture from the digibox when recording onto the dvd
Can get sound and picture when dvd turned off
Dvd will record picture and sound from another source(another dvd player - connected in the exact same way as the digi box)
Any ideas?
Any help much appreciated.

RE: GhostRider R2 - Two discs or not two discs
Any chance the bin hasnt been emptied - I enjoyed the film. :)
GhostRider R2 - Two discs or not two discs
HMV are advertising an exclusive 2 disc edition of Ghostrider - most other sites have it listed as 1 disc - but Play seem to have all the extras from the 2 disc edition listed - are HMV using some artistic licence with the description (is the exclusive edition just the usual exclusive cover) or are all the other retailers really only getting 1 disc editions
I ask because I finally gave up on cdwow ever delivering the R3 2 disc edition that I ordered

RE: 101cd.com - when did that happen
Actually I was just curious as to when it happened - no problem with it what so ever.
Do Amazon actually read emails?
Has anyone else found that when complaining to Amazon by email the response you get seems to be sent by someone that hasnt actually read your complaint.
By this I mean they ignore the complaint and go on to talk about general issues without addressing your original inquiry - this has happened to me twice now - so it seems to be their standard response - and its so annoying!
RE: police academy boxset £10
Got mine at the start of the week - hope everyone else gets theirs as well.
