Alan, you have your porcines and bovines muxed ip. Pigs are not noted for having udders. Unless they have strange pigs round your parts.

I was actually complimented by one of the bands for being an irascible bastard (not on saturday, I was sweetness and light all day). Seems it's okay if you know what you're doing.

That wasn't a dreadful hangover, I was still capable of speech and movement. Big thanks to the Mind Gone Blind guys for stepping in as stage crew at the last minute I really couldn't have done it without them. I have a suntan so I'll probably be thrown out of the sound engineers guild for not being pasty white. I did hear a rumour that the police got 2 guys they caught trying to jump the fence to pay in, then threw them out, telling them that the 20 they'd just paid was cheaper than the fine they would get.

Like the man says. There is no magic wand to fix this. If it sounds bad to start with it'll still sound bad after. I reckon 90% of the problems I have mixing are down to the bands backline.. SISO.

Aaron, if your coursework is just HTML, give them what they want, a few pages linked together, some photos etc. HTML can't do much else on it's own.

Use PHP5 and Apache 2 though, not PHP4 and Apache 1.3 I'd also advise Linux as your OS because PHP isn't fully supported in Windows, but dual boot is a whole other world of pain. EDIT: NOW I find out there's a cheats way to install Apache on Windows, that could have saved me several hours banging my head off the keyboard.

Me, I have the disposable income but no way of transferring 89p to anyone else without asking the bank nicely (and being charged not nicely).

You've just added the word together part to clarify what you mean, which is normally what normal people do when faced with that ambiguous phrase, say together if you mean together, leave it out if you mean seperately. It's quite simple. Stop trying to wriggle out of being called a big Jessie.

Both me and jo are at least . I hope you don't let him sign contracts Jo.

Not if someone points out that both me and Jo are at least twice the man you could ever hope to be, but apart from that, not bad.

I'm not sure who you're insulting more.

Dynamic mics are cheaper but they don't cover a lot of bases. You should get more clarity and depth from a condenser, as well as more versatility. Large diaphragms tend to be better as well. Not the cheapest option but you won't need another one.

Only cos she might spill my pint. Can't stand that in a woman. She's all yours Cloud, while she's stepping on/off stage is normally the most dangerous bit so stay awake.

Condensers are the best bet, dynamic mics roll off a lot earlier and tend not to be so versatile . Rode is definitely worth a look.
