RE: BEKO 32WLK530HID Silver 32 inch LCD TV only £100 delivered

Can log onto site but immediately get, "site is sending out incorrect error code 12263". I can`t navigate anywhere on site either, says same message! I have tried directly via a search on Google and get the same message, does anyone else get this? I also tried sending a message earlier to ask if there were any more coming back into stock and couldn`t! This site is the only one doing this. Any comments anyone? Roger.

RE: The best bargain you`ve ever found on this site - list

Would have to agree that the Sagem Phone and the free hi-fi unit from Woolworths is hard to beat. My son has the hi-fi in his Uni house, and the phone is still going strong. To think that some lucky beggars had two of them as well!..............................Roger.

RE: One for muso`s with a taste for Marshall gear

Lol@`some unknown jazz guitarist!` This one`s a true story, unlike some i`ve told, lol. Back in 1994 my wife and I were in Cardiff (The kids left with my in laws) and we went into Cranes music shop. There sitting at a table at the back was Jim Marshall, signing posters, so I duly queued and he signed it "To Roger, Jim Marshall 1994". Like most sad muso`s I was chuffed and took it home, after picking up the kids. I sat on the settee and my daughter who was 4 at the time sat next to me and watched me unroll the poster (It had a pic of the Clapton "Beano" album on it, with John Mayall, Clapton, John mcVie and the drummer, who`s name I didn`t know). Anyway, my little girl looks at the poster and says "That`s you!", pointing at the drummer. Indeed when I looked closely, the resemblance to a younger me was startling, even I thought it was me! lol At this point my son leaps from the chair opposite and rushes across, and sitting the other side of me goes "It IS you!" Thinking quickly I quietly muttered "Well, you know dad plays the guitar" (even then I had a housefull of the damn things), and my son adds "But thats Eric Clapton!" To which I added (norty I know) "Well, it was a long time ago".......At this point my son rushes to the kitchen to tell his mum that dad once played with Eric Clapton and I could hear my wife stifling a laugh as she says "Really?".......Anyway, I managed to keep it up for no more than 20 minutes at which point I put him out of his misery (I could imagine the conversations in the school yard..."My dad`s bigger than your dad"..........."Yeh but my dad played in a band with Eric Clapton!!" lol. So if you have a pic of the `Beano` album cover that`s me on the extreme right.................................`cept not really!

One for muso`s with a taste for Marshall gear

This may sound like an odd one, but for any guitarists out there, if you see the Marshall demonstrator tour is visiting your local store I would recommend attending. They visited Speed music in Swansea last night (great 3 piece band, Chris George on guitar), and a cheap £2 entry which in Swansea included beer and barbecue! Anyway, to the point, they raffle 3 prizes, which considering only about 70 people turned up, was good, and although 3rd prize was just a little battery amp and tee shirt, cap etc, the 2nd was a small stack (head and two separate speakers and first prize was a 100watt combo! Have to say 2 people (unfortunately not yours truly, or my guitar toting son) went home well chuffed as both good prizes were worth in excess of £300 each!! so when you look at the odds it appears a good opportunity to blag a free amp. Anyway, just thought i`d mention it, lol...................................Twang!!!!

RE: Cheap DVDS on Asda Charts

You need to look at the HMV sale, Men In Black 1 and 2 (4 disk boxset), £2.99 and free delivery.

RE: Weltech headphones at Lidl

As the original poster of this thread I have to say that I had noticed that these were back but it slipped my mind to post here, glad that someone did and that they are still as good as the originals. I too was stunned when I first bought them, and as a ``muso` with some professional gear (Beyer DT100`s - The industry standard - and recently Grado SR60`s) I have to say these hold their own in some good company. They`re not as good, but not that far short. Well worth a punt of anybody`s £2.99. And yes Gaffski, you`re right, it sure was an old thread to resurrect, but well worth it too lol. Roger.

RE: Sony 55" RP TV only £999 with FREE 5YR G`TEE (was £1499)

Experience? maybe? maybe not? but having recently bought a new Panasonic Plasma I feel a little spoilt. Rear Pro? watch from the middle/front, def not from the side!

RE: Sony 55" RP TV only £999 with FREE 5YR G`TEE (was £1499)

It`s ok, personally I wouldn`t touch a Rear Pro with someone else`s! But you pays yer money...........

HannSpree 37" HD ready LCD £469.94

This is up for sale at Micro Direct and from what i`ve seen in various magazines this brand are getting rave reviews. However the description in `broken Chinese/English` raised a chuckle! But may be worth a punt for some one. Includes a 2 year warranty as well.

RE: New Plasma! had to tell someone!

Johnny, that`s a phenomenal price! By the way, isn`t the set absolutely fabulous?? I came across a forum where others who`d bought it were similarly praising it and I can only agree with them. I`ve yet to see a set where everything and I mean EVERYTHING is upscaled to look so good, and, after all, it will be some time before HDTV is universal but I feel with this set, who cares?. It will be interesting to see the review when it comes out, as it`s hard to see what will better it. Roger.
