RE: Fishing gear
try
https://www.bosfish.co.uk/f_index.html
This place have been around for ages and seem to have good deals most of the time.
I`ve had stuff from them in the past when I fished.
you may be better off getting a cheap adult rod and reel for you kid rather than a "kids set". they never seem to be much good. and wont last half as long.
The Coarse Float Outfit for £29.99 looks like a good deal. and has most of what you need to get started.
hope this helps.

Just a quick update on this thing

RE: Where can I get cheap, decent single and double Amaray cases?
used these people a lot for cdr`s, ink and a few cases myself and never had a problem.
postage can work out a bit steep if not ordering much but may be worth a look.

RE: Question about a cheap DVD player from Amazon UK
Quick update from me.
The player turned up a few days ago and worked perfect straight out the box.
even managed to play a couple of non standard vcd`s fine ( as in lower audio and frame rates.. didn`t know what I was doing at first )
also plays NTCS films on my old TV that cant handle the output from my other DVD player, so guess it converts to a real pal signal, and not Pal 60 like most.
tried the machine with dvd;`s r1 , r2 and rO
vcd`s, svcd. ( cdr and cdrw ) Jpegs, mp3`s All played fine.
The osd can be a little annoying. when you have the image zoomed in, you cant get rid of the osd overlay saying what zoom level you`re at or the box showing what part of the image you`re looking at, but that`s a very small gripe, considering what else it does well.
so if you are lucky enough to get a good one I think it`s a great little piece of kit for a silly price.

RE: Question about a cheap DVD player from Amazon UK
Thanks for the update LuggyBear.
At least it seems like the multi region issue can be sorted easy enough.

RE: Question about a cheap DVD player from Amazon UK
Thanks for the feedback
Seen a few people say that R1 playback is a problem, but looks like most players work ok. Fingers crossed the new batch the`re getting in will be better.
For that price have to give it a try anyway
thanks again
Nick.
Question about a cheap DVD player from Amazon UK
Sorry if this has been discussed before but was wondering if anyone here has gone for the Yamada DVD 5520 Multi-region DVD Player from Amazon UK, and if so, is it as good as it sounds for the money ( £39 ) with free postage thrown in.
TIA
Nick
