Had a bit of trouble with my Blackstar HT1R Guitar Amp. 11 months old, suddenly developed an intermittent fault whereby it would lose the clean channel. Spent 5 weeks away at Backstair (via my dealer) and eventually was returned....
My beautiful bike broke last year, the frame cracked. It wasn't under guarantee, as I had not bought it from new (it was, in fact, unused, but I bought it 'ex-dem') Dealers in France weren't very much arsed to be honest. Carbon fibre is expensive to repair (although apparently - like bone - stronger thereafter. But somehow who wants a repaired bike frame?) But a letter to the MD in Germany, and a few weeks later, voilà. Brand new (superior) frame. All démontage, rémontage and freight costs...
Extract from a text from my daughter... "Our landlords let themselves in the house today and started inspecting with no warning or even trying to see if anyone was in. Lara spoke to them when she realised they were there. They didn't sound...
It's on iPlayer at the moment, great trawl through 1978-83. Recommended.
We've had a few threads about interesting things to watch but it's all a bit fragmented. Thought I'd start a thread for decent telly going forwards... Anyone watch "Life of a Mountain: A Year on Scafell Pike"? Excellent...
In response to multiple demands for passwords many of us probably: write them down, use the same everywhere or (slightly better) have quite a good one for anything to do with finance but something pants and memorable for, say, this forum. This...
Growing up in Ohio during the Woody Hayes heyday, I'm a lifelong Buckeyes fan. Frankly, I didn't think they'd get past Alabama with their third QB playing in his second game. On the other side, a seasoned Heisman trophy winner for the Ducks that...
I am in no way related to the author, but I found this book really interesting, and the Doctor who wrote the book has youtube videos A colleague at work who went wheat free has managed to lower his triglycerides to normal levels, he showed me...
Got myself an Iphone 6 which seems to be doing everything I can do on an Ipad. Is the Ipad still useful? I still want to buy one to read ebooks as the screen is bigger, but I don't find any issue on reading ebooks on my Iphone 6 at all.

"A group describing themselves as the "CyberCaliphate" apparently gained control of the official Twitter and YouTube pages of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) on Monday and began posting messages supportive of the jihadist group Islamic State...
Anyone else not seeing the naim logo link at the top of the forum banner? G
Sitting here listening to some wonderful music and thinking I will share it on the what are you listening to now thread in the music Room. So I take a screenshot of the album that is playing from the iPad, post it to Facebook or...
Naim have posted, via Facebook, that they are making an announcement at CES at 7pm today. Any ideas what it will include? Anything we don't already know? Will be interesting to see what's included - it will be posted on Facebook...
I have learned a vluable lesson today attempting to get Quobus to work for me. Unless you are clever with computers then it is a real pain. I managed to canecel my free-period, but not through the actual profile section of Quobus, but by...
One of the things I do not miss about the Australian summer. The strong, gusty, hot, dry, smoky nor-westers fanning the flames of seem to be ever more catastrophic fires. They seem to start earlier every year. ...
A woman in the US state of Idaho has been killed after a two-year-old boy accidentally shot her with a gun he found when reaching into her handbag. The woman was shot in a Wal-Mart in Hayden, a town in Idaho's northern panhandle. A sheriff's spokesman...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/cul...e.html?frame=2470799 I have seen them all bar 2. They are all worthy films but would you include them all in your list? Lots of Powell and Pressburger films (and rightly so). But would we say The Full...
Attempting to set-up and use BitPerfect with iTunes, all latest versions. It always stops after the first track. Then if I start track two "manually" it plays the remainders of the files sometimes and sometimes stops again after second...
Here's mine, to start the ball rolling.

Hi everyone...Not sure what forum this should be on. If it's wrong, I'm sure Richard will move it. I have several posts running at the moment, on the various Naim Forums. Last night, I replied back to someone on the 'Streaming Audio' forum,...
Cancer is caused by bad luck according to US specialists . Tell that to my 9 year old sons best friend who is in a London hospital fighting for her life because of throat cancer.
