I found it mildly amusing to see him twist and turn as he deleted pics, postings and other stuff as it got discovered, but funny, no. Fwiw, I don't know the circumstances of his bust, but I'd be surprised if the girl looked 15 and probably passed herself off, quite deliberately, as 18 or older. So, for all the braying monkeys who piled in on top of him, I sincerely hope they don't get caught out the way he did. That would be just too cruel. And I'd find that funny. -- Dave GS850x2 XS650 SE6a "A scone and tea at half past three Makes the day a little brighter Keep your cakes and fancy tarts And stick them up your shiter."
I always wondered why they didn't do that with something more interesting, like a howitzer. -- Dave GS850x2 XS650 SE6a "A scone and tea at half past three Makes the day a little brighter Keep your cakes and fancy tarts And stick them up your shiter."
Ooh, that was fun. Got to round 7, 44,600. -- Dave GS850x2 XS650 SE6a "A scone and tea at half past three Makes the day a little brighter Keep your cakes and fancy tarts And stick them up your shiter."
It is fun. Currently on round 10, but only 61,300 as scenery demolition has taken precedence, it seems.
Bah. Ran out of ammo on R13, with 114,400 points. Following the spectacular success on R12, went back to bashing mountains after being frustrated by the hovering chopper and banging two right down the spout of the ICBM - but as it had retracted and the doors closed, didn't score a hit.
Ver' naice too. Welcome to the real world. And yes, the boxes are fucking huge, aren't they? Make sure the folks hang around for the de-boxing ceremony, as it can be a bit of a 'mare getting the new toy out - and I'm not sure if LCD is the same as plasma, but you musn't lay a plasma flat or it'll go fuckupski. Transport upright, lift it out and shuffle it across to its new home, all in the vertical if you please. PS. Richer Sounds rock. What, that you're sucking Burnt's teef? I always wondered who you were running those choppers in for.
S-video and scart both cann as can a bundle of seperate phono leads. I run RGB over an s-video -> SCART lead for my DVD recorder, you could probably get the same cable in the opposite direction...
Almost certainly this will be your RGB source. Aye, true for most amps. I don't know any that do RGB switching, but with the advent of HD, they might start introducing HDMI switching SCART. I don't think ginge is right about s-video though, but I'm happy to be proved wrong. AFAIK, TVs will only accept RGB through the SCART, and older ones will only do it on AV1.
Did you go into the settings for the DVD player, and tell it what to output on the SCART? My Pioneer has this ability.
I seem to recall mentioning this situation some time ago, when you first started darsying about. This is why I bought a PS3 and a (small) arsenal of Blu-Ray discs to go with it, and took on a cable sub with a V+ box, to access HD programming (such as it is, it is /most/ impressive and the kids are fascinated by Robin Hood and Dr Who on BBC HD). I'm out of digital inputs on my Arcam amp, so I'm looking at a HDMI-equipped replacement, likely the AV9, but I'll have to sell something to get one. Several things, likely. Gets damn expensive, damn quickly, this AV thing.
I'm really quite fond of my Arcam, except for the delay when switching inputs. But other than that, it rocks. Especially through Kefs.
You've got the AV8/P7, right? Serious kit, that; I guess all you need (hah!) is a new 'preamp', equipped with HDMI inputs - the AV9, or the fabled AV10. Yes, I don't want to add up the overall cost of mine, but as it has accumulated over a period of years it isn't so bad. However, my 'DAVE' equipped Alpha 10/P3/Alpha10 rig is of an earlier generation to yours but was quite adequate until a few months ago. I can't justify the cost of a decent preamp right now - what I need to do happen is to be assisted off my bike again by a nice, well-insured blind driver ;-)
