Congratulations BWAP. I passed my New Jersey driving exam on the same day you passed your UK test, having spent the previous couple of months in a rental car. I picked up my own car on the same day I passed, so I'm pretty happy at the moment.

That's a great idea.

If CD's were produced in 12" format then we could all go back to beautiful album covers.

This new "digital turntable" could be the size of a turntable, housed in perspex, and you could see all the mechanics.

Think it will catch on ?

The doctor had said that while the brace would work for his teeth, the rest of his face would need something a little more drastic.

"And don't remove it for the next 6 months" were the last words he remembered hearing as he left the clinic.

This is a great bargain, and I definitely agree with one of the Amazon reviewers that the Peel Sessions alone are worth the price of the box set. Magazine were an ever-present on my sixth form common room record player so I've always had a soft spot for Secondhand Daylight. Buy it while you can at 1...

Yes it's a bit troublesome but not as troublesome as, say, working on a coalface or cleaning public toilets.

Good question.

And if their budget was $25 per day each, and they only spent $9 on the hotel, what happened to the other $16 ?

This is turning out to be quite a mystery.
