At the moment I am waiting for the postie in the vain hope a CD laser unit is going to arrive today. Ordered it on the 28th December and it was supposed to be here on the 6th January but it never arrived so the seller promised another in the post on the 8th and that one hasn't arrived yet either
I want it for an AVI Lab player I bought just after xmas and I wanted it up and running before my bakeoff. If the bloody thing doesn't arrive today I will take one out of the Marantz CD63 I recently fixed, but that will mean extra work which I can well do without this week. Life can be frustrating at times, especially when you rely on others.

Pleased to say the new laser has finally arrived.
Fitting it into the AVI player is a real dog's arse It's a common or garden VAM mechanism which is normally easy-ish to install, but the AVI has the mechanism raised up on spacers and held in place by long allen bolts which merely screw into the plastic body of the mechanism and kept there by non-setting goo. This means the moment you try and put the case back together again the whole lot comes adrift, plus I don't understand how the mechanism has risen up so the drawer now keeps on jamming, despite using the right spacers in the right places.
Tearing my hair out with it so time for a coffee and a fag before I tackle it again

Those AVIs are good though, should be worth the struggle

Those AVIs are good though, should be worth the struggle Amazing what a drop of superglue can accomplish. Glued the spacers to the chassis and glued the bolts into the transport's chassis, so thems buggers are there for good and no falling out when I turned it upside down to refit the lid bolts
Got it running in my system right now and as you say Martin it do sound very good. Well worth all the fannying about

We were up in the gods three rows back. In front of us was a really nice girl and her feller. In front of them were two pissed up dickheads. So Slipknot come on and these two dixkheads immediately stand up and start going berserk. Swilling beer on everyone , spitting and leaning over the balcony. The bloke infront asks them to sit down and the dick shoves him in the chest and tells him to F#ck off. This goes on for about 15 minutes then the security guy comes up and tells them to sit down. They then F#ck him off aswell. He brings backup and these two dickheads simply refuse to behave. They just give security the fingers and carry on. This is the best bit ....the security guys Sh#t it and disappear ! Leaving these two to do whatever they want ! So everyone behind them has to stand. Ok , I've nothing against standing but upstairs it's totally selfish because among other thing any kids or people under 5ft6" just cannot get high enough to see over them. Now this guy and his girlfriend have no choice but to sit behind two dicks who had 8 pints each in 2 hours and were being total C#nts. The show finishes and the hairiest of these two turns round to have a go at the bloke and his girlfriend.. It's getting heated and I grab the bloke and tell him that they aren't worth it , to forget them and just go home. Which he does. And so do we. Until we get into the concourse with the rest of 25000 other people . Then these two fuckers rush up to me . " Where's your fucking mate now then ?" Says the hairy one. I says "F#ck off home to your mum and grow up , you lightweight C#nt". So now he grabs me by the lapels. His mate ( both about 35 years old by the way. One hairy and a bit podgy and the other pretty stocky ) is now holding back anybody trying to intervene. This fat F#ck then gets right into my face so I twatted him in the bollocks. In the same second some fellers in the crowd grab me and drag me off. Security at last get hold of the other twat and he's pulled away aswell. The wife said my last words were " get here you fat bastard" but I was so worked up I can't remember. Fucks sake ... I'm 60 ! 60 and brawling at a concert ! What can you do though... sometimes you just can't avoid wankers. As we were going down the stairs a few people did say "well done lad they deserved it" , so at least I didn't feel such a prick. My lass was a bit upset though. She'd shot over to the security seemingly and that's why it got stopped. Not nice for her to see her 60 year old dad getting attacked by two things at a bloody rock concert. I was laughing my head off outside . I must admit , it livened the night up. π . .

Im not interested in that sort of Sh#t at all but it was obvious that if I didn't get the first one in then he was going to. I hope he's got sore knackers today at least. Bloody 30 going on 13 the pair of them ! What is wrong with people ffs ?

I would have sent the morons home with their knackers in a jar of vinegar.
There is more wrong with people these days and only a tiny amount of right in them sadly. Sh#t-for-brains the lot of them.
Just be thankful they weren't carrying any weapons with them.

Nothing I like more than someone physically delivering some Justice. In appreciation of such valiant actions, I award thee with the title of "The Enforcer" (see under your profile pic lol) Please note, you can remove this at any time, should the urge arise.

Ha! I thought you may chuckle at that. Well done for standing up to the mindlessness of those imbeciles. People are far too busy filming incidents like this instead of wading in and helping a guy out. I am glad you got away unscathed.

You sir , are an absolute hero ! What a babe ! Hes a beauty!! Unfortunately, hes terrorising our other dog, nothing major, just playful but really nippy. The bigun (10yrs) hlis very timid. A result of her situation before we got her from BDH. Hope we can sort him out quick, as I don't want the bigun too disrupted. 6 years for her to feel slightly at ease and only really just totally relaxed.

Oh well, good luck. Hope it works out. The pup won't calm down though so fingers crossed. Shame to disrupt the older pooch when it eventually thinks all is cozy.

antonio I'm sure it will be fine. Were taking him to spend an hour with another dog this morning. This one is a mastiff. Hes a big but soft type and he's helped "Treacle" our bigun, relax over the past year. She's also taught him how to behave! They seem a bit better together this morning. @engine yes, calm down was not the right word. Fingers, toes and socks seem to be in danger atm lol I should've said getting familiar instead or words to that effect.
