His being in the gambling business sets off my trigger happy tv sketch alarm.

You're suppsoed to try to resolve noise complaints with the neighbours in question before involving the police. Thing is that I am hardly likely to go down and round in my PJs to ask them to turn it down. 1) I'd get cold 2)they wouldn't pay me the slightest heed and 3)They'd probably crank it up more often and louder to deal with "that moany fuck next door". I think that I'll stick with what I did, which is put on an audiobook and fall alseep listening to that.

Belated Burpdai Hippiness!

Secret Military Project eh? I think Westwood went there.

Would you really fork out the air fares to go for a couple of days of headphone listening dude? After graduation I'd consider going. Turn it into part of a longer holiday.

So. 5am. And the people in the flat next door are playing music loud enough for me to host a disco of my own. I live a street of old houses, by my guess the wall is 1ft thick at the thin section, 2ft over the rest. Sandstone most likely. Anyway. 5am is beyond reasonable acceptable party noise hours. Whats the best way to kill these fuckers and get away with it? I've got sleep to be getting so I can be well rested for a day of procrastination tomo.

If those were downloaded en masse off oink because of tiny fits of interest thats fine, but if they're actually shiny discs, sitting there unused, thats bad. I could take 50 off your hands for you and let you know what they're like if you want.

A night which is not a good night for alcohol is the night before an exam, or the night before your funeral.

Someone got the Jenalabs page all saved for posterity in case they do change it then?

Not a chance. Real cloves, chopped to fit the dish. Spaghetti, oil and garlic with crusty bread and some nice red. Meal fit for a king.

Any girl who doesn't like garlic bread doesn't merit candidacy. My love life has been a series of unfortunate circumstances over the last year anyway.

I probably smell more of garlic most of the time. I eat stupid amounts of the stuff.

I love mah Quads 2.

I get the feeling that if you ever met me you'd glare at me in a burning burning way. Like the way that peat burns in an open fire.

Very very lovely. The light on my 717 just went green with envy.

Brilliant Smeggy! Glad you're loving it. Got any pictures showing us how its put together?

Help which was appreciated, I was not after all, specific about the limitations of my needs. Gives me a piece of gear to read about and drool over doesn't it? I've looked at the Cambridge players. They are nice, newer than the Quad and sound good (I've heard Milkpowders). The Quad would fit into my rack though, being quite small, the Cambridge is too big. I like the look of the Quad gear too. And it'll match up if I ever go up to the 909 amp.

Golly is that all? Even with the USD falling faster than the Sterling against the Euro I think that's well beyond my area. I'm looking nearer to

Marvellous rescue story. I say Alex deserves a cape, mask and spandex to go with his powers.

That looks the shiznitz Spritzer. You really don't do anything by halves do you? I really need to move up from the Squeezebox. I've had my permission for my anthropological research project at a doctors surgery this summer denied now on ethical grounds (read: ethical red tape of huge size). So I guess that leaves me with more time to work behind the bar and do a shitty dull project from the workplace instead. Means I can put in more hours though, which means more money. I'd rather be doing the project I wanted though.

I'm the same person on both sites, the thing is that its horses for courses, there is a different atmosphere of context on HF and HC. Those who have met me in person can testify to the fact that I am ranting raving lunatic with a love for very dry, very black, very acerbic humour. The context of head-fi (and indeed of the internet in general) means that you have to show restraint, or to tone down that sort of personality otherwise you can end up with the typical thread wars, trolling and animosity. It's also much easier to throw a really bad ball on the internet with that sort of thing than it is in person over a pint. I learned that lesson pretty hard recently when I did my rail against Terry Pratchett. HC is pretty close knit, with far less of a stranger danger factor and those who are here, have, mostly, a comparable vein of plain speech. Its therefore if not more suitable, then much safer, to say whatever trips off the tongue (keyboard) at ones whim. To draw some kind of analogy, HF is like a high school classroom, you know the majority of the many people in the class and theres a teacher lookign over everything. You can do a lot of productive stuff, and a lot of procrastination, but start throwing open crap about and you'll risk pissing off one of those classmates you don't know so well, or the teacher will stomp on you. HC is like a uni tutorial group. You know the people you're studying with much more closely, theres less of you, and theres a good chance that you'll shoot pool with the tutor after buying them a pint, all the while mocking their choice of tie.

You can have my gushing praise about how I enjoy reading your material when a review is like the far better stuff you've written in the past. The PS Audio review just wasn't as good as stuff you've written before, like the three closed portable headphones review.
