Good evening everyone!!!

Hey Sian, I wish you the best luck! I went on an application rampage like that last week and so far, not even a phone call -.-

Thanks! I'm finishing my current job on 25th October so I need to find a job quickly... I've had about 3 phone calls/interview offers in the last 2 days but one thing or another has stopped it from happening...

I'm staying positive though, hopefully something will come through soon :thumbup:

Gawddamn I miss you lot so much ... (yes one bottle of cider down )

That means you have more cider, so you're doing better than me. I am on the last one, and Morriscums didn't have any Thatchers left when I went earlier.

We all miss you too!

Cornwall Food and Drink festival this weekend, so popped in the marquee on the way to M&S for my dinner, and picked up three bottles for a fiver.

Bargain! I bought some of their stuff at a farmers market up here back along, wasn't bad for cider made outside of the home county! Can't beat Wilkins' Dry... might have to drop into The Apple when I'm in Bristol on Tuesday for a couple before the Revival Tour gig!

If you're getting phone calls that's a very positive thing.

Damn, this album (Horrible Crowes) is feckin' awesome...

AH! That's a good sign! If in only 2 days you had so much feedback I'm sure that something WILL come through before your "deadline"!!

Just ask for all of the time between off, can always cancel it!

Some of the ones Richer Sounds do are meant to be good, and quite well priced too:

5.1 is over-rated IMO. Something like this would be good:

Wharfedale Diamond 9.0 speakers £60 (I have the Diamond 8.1's in my hifi and they're excellent).

http://www.richersounds.com/product/boo ... ar-9.0-blk

Sony STRDH520 Receiver (£180)

Does Dolby Digital and DTS sound, plentiful inputs... you won't get a decent receiver for much less.

http://www.richersounds.com/product/av- ... ifications

Or you can use a bog standard hifi amplifier and forgo DTS/DD sound...

Cambridge Audio ID10 Ipod Dock at £20.00

http://www.richersounds.com/product/ipo ... -ipod-dock

You could save money, particularly on the receiver/amplifier, by going down the second hand market.

I have 8 days holiday left between December and March plus flexi leave.
We weren't allowed to book ours, then they took the ban off whilst I was away, so it looks like I actually don't have much choice as everyone is suddenly going away or having huge family parties for which they need time off for!

You never know, people might decide they want to visit me, it's happened before ...

My friends have various ones, Bose, Klipsch, Bower & Wilkins, the Bose one always sounds good. I nearly bought the Klipsch one.

Yep, standard interconnects for the blu-ray, and a 3.5mm to phono adaptor for the iPod dock.

If you decided you wanted to do this, I'd be more than happy to take a trip to the northern wastelands and help you out with setup etc.

B & W and Klipsch are the best of those. If you're still considering it, just do it!
