I recall playing the flexi disc on my parents dodgy hifi and it sounded terrible, mainly because it was a flexi disc, but also because the song was terrible. I can however recall the melody and the chorus, which is a testament to the irritating quality.

Excellent.

Created by the guys who did Oink! Which is where Brooker cut his teeth (it shows, he still seems to think toilet humour is funny)

Woolly The Wonder Sheep is who I was thinking of.

No, not Nobby, he was from Ghost Train.

Cat island Japan

http://www.mnn.com/lifestyle/eco-tourism/stories/cat-island-is-a-felines-purrfect-paradise#

While many cities are working to curb feral cat populations through spay-and-neuter programs, there’s one place where cat numbers continue to grow and the locals encourage it.
 
Tashiro-jima is a small island in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, that’s home to more cats than people. Better known as “Cat Island,” it has about 100 permanent residents — most of whom are over 65 years of age — and hundreds and hundreds of cats.

I take it this is supposed to happen at 00.00GMT then? As it is already 4am on 21st Dec in Samoa, but they say it wont happen until the 22nd?

Or Asda/Tesco.

Best. Dyed Threads. Ever.

Was that the parody cartoon show? Can't recall exactly what was in it but I recall some sheep which spoke like Dustin Hoffman.

Programmes including Rainbow, Super Gran, Press Gang, The Raggy Dolls and Children's Ward will all be broadcast.

Digital channel CITV will clear its schedule on 5 and 6 January to screen almost nine hours of old favourites each day.

ITV1 will also air a documentary to celebrate the 30th anniversary.

Other popular shows to be screened include Count Duckula, Art Attack, The Tomorrow People, Puddle Lane and Rosie & Jim.

Random fact - Tom Kerridge, the large Michelin chef was in The Tomorrow People, he played 'Hulk'.

It is helping me re-discover the many tracks that have come out. The DJ Blakey track is a modern classic.

Nice! I'll just hop on a plane now!

I'll see you at Terminal 4.

I can't read Dylon without thinking of this

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/Z9lg6HqJeY0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/Z9lg6HqJeY0</a>

Longer one

I've seen the results of Dylon and it is ok, but not amazing, but this was dark colours (burgundy and black). Black washes out quickly (it does on most stuff though) other dark colours may not be as deep as something from a shop, but it will still certainly dye it and fix some colour.

I don't recall seeing dye in fabric land. Maybe try Asda or Tesco (supermarkets) ? They should do Dylon stuff in there.

I need to meet up with you again soon. Probably wont be this side of xmas.

Reflux is the token acid track.

Not a bad price, but not sure what I'm after! Just something for the kitchen.

Lunch time bump.

Downloaded, but not listened to yet. 

Totally forgot to look at this yesterday. 

It has happened in Bristol, probably still is somewhere!

Anyway, I'm looking for something small and powered at the moment.

Aren't these the classic white van scam speaker?

Should this sentence say "the director is a massive penis"?

I'm on Snow Leopard so don't know if it still works under Lion. Try copy and paste the link into the downloads window, if the Activity Monitor still shows on Lion's Safari.

There was a mixed response to this when announced (although part seemed to be "why are you booking the same old names that aren't my name?")

More like, "this bunch of circle jerk artists that I don't like again? I'd love to go to something like this, but seriously Roni Size is a wanker; I've seen him before live and it was shit".

You might want to consider a Korg ER1 as well. Not very expensive, not analogue, but capable of a number of percussive sounds with limited controls, but you can get some huge kicks out of it, reggae bleeps and a usable snare which is in the 909/808 vein.

There are lots of knobby synths out there, old and new and there is no need to pursue analogue exclusively. Alas there's little out there which is cheap! Novation's range, such as the KS Rack/keyboard (not too bad a price, four part synth) or Supernovas, or even their Basstation are worth considering.

A controller for VSTs might get you what you want, I have no problems with VST stuff, but I prefer to run a hybrid set up. I think with all VST production it can be a bit too clean for my taste.

I had a TR707 and frankly it is a sample playback machine with a sequencer. It looks cool, but it isn't a 909. You can sequence the Vermona from any DAW.

If you are looking to get away from a DAW, you could consider an MPC, but whilst MPCs can be instantly gratifying, the finer edit work can be a drag. There are other hardware sequencers, such as Doepfer's Dark Time or MAQ16/3.

If you are in Bristol and want to have a chat about it drop me a PM. Sometimes it isn't about the tools but the approach you take. I have lots of hardware and love buying and owning it , but sometimes it is as simple to get a result from a VST.

 

Will check it later.

I downloaded Instagram ages ago and gave up with it. Seems FB are trying to make their money out of their user base, but it is hard to do so without alienating them.

Oh they've changed something which means they are going to market all my cat photos to raise money for Glaxxo Smithcline etc....

It seems they now are planning to do this with Instagram.

Good luck with it. Stick it on the main forum. 

Well Haydeez you can claim this one surely

Baby got back.   

 

I don't think your avatar is helping matters.

It's the tip of the iceberg to be honest.

Is their a bigger cake underneath, that has been cropped out? 

 

Puddings are good. I just had a slice of Christmas cake after my pasta. Yummy 

They can be. But they are taking over my life.

This is how to get about it on a Mac on Safari. Although it is about Youtube it applies to most embedded media, but Soundcloud prevents this, thankfuly. I expect other browsers have the same option, but I don't know how to go about it on them.

I am aware of this. A mixture of  (mo money) and    because the HD games are pretty good looking and I thought the last PS2 one (Blood Money) was a very good looking game. 

Cheese sandwich. 

I love the Hitman series. They have never been easy and even on easy modes, trying to pull off a hit undetected is almost impossible.

I've not found it particularly challenging though. The AI of the guards is pretty poor on the mid setting. I doubt I'll give it a re-run to find out what they are like in hard mode.

Just waiting for xmas to come and Hitman will be with me then.
