Jaaakkkeee Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Sounds like a combination of problems involving the pump and drum. May sound mental but you would probably be cheaper to get a new one rather than fix it.It was a 50p stuck in the filter. Working fine now. Soaked the kitchen taking the filter out though. Oh jesus.

Johnny Mac Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Long shot here but I don't suppose anyone knows the make of the picture frames that used to be sold in the art shop next to the music hall that has closed now? They were cracking quality and well priced and Hobbycraft is full of rubbish.Failing that, any other places in town that aren't a total rip?

Adam Easy Wishes Posted January 21, 2013 Report Share Posted January 21, 2013 Your photo and possibly more detail if you try to keep your CV down to a couple of A4 pages. It might give a broader picture of what you're like as a person and an employee.Also endorsements from former colleagues and a possible idea of how 'well connected' you are in terms of other people in the industry (if this is important for the job, I guess).

Soda Jerk Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 What would you consider your budget to be? Both the budget stand-alone types and the ones that have built in pre-amps and plug directly into your stereos AUX inputs, in my experience, sound awful. Worse than tapes. Hissy on the highs and farty on the lows, making it redundant spending money on LP's for them to sound like arse. Not worth looking at.This is a very good 'entry level' turntable. I still have mine and have no need to upgrade. Sounds great. By 'entry level' I think they mean 'This one costs £150, so it's pretty good, but you can also buy turntables for £5,000, which will sound marginally better to those with supersonic hearing'http://www.richersounds.com/showproduct/PROJ-ESSENTIAL-BLK/Project+Essential+Blk.htmlYou'll need an amp for it though, but you can get a second hand hi-fi amp from Ebay for a good price, so long as it has a phono stage. Most of the older ones do. You can probably get a decent Marantz, Denon or Yahama amp for less than £100 on the bay. Something like this would be decent:http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Classic-Marantz-PM-45-Integrated-Amplifier-Amp-Working-well-/200883590824?pt=UK_AudioTVElectronics_HomeAudioHiFi_Amplifiers&hash=item2ec59856a8Do you already have speakers? The quality of the speakers make a huge difference. When I upgraded from some standard Panasonic mini system speakers to a pair of Mordaunt Shorts, the difference was incredible. My Mordaunt Shorts were only £50 on Ebay too. Theres bargains to be had on Hi-Fi gear on ebay. Everyones getting rid of their systems, because it's all iPods and Dr Dre Beats now. Get your swag on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Owl PhD Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I've got a Rega P1, which I really like. The RP1 is the updated version:http://www.rega.co.uk/html/RP1.htmIt's remarkably basic (you change speeds by moving a rubber band a bit) but sounds very good, at least with a reasonable amp etc. I think they sell for around £200 but they might be available for less on Ebay. It's also upgradeable, which I've not done yet but might be tempted by. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moose Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Cold turkey, it's the only way. Try and find a sport or something you enjoy to give you something that will naturally replace the high from nicotine and try and drink less for the first couple of weeks to reduce the temptation.This. I also think you have to really want to stop. It was seriously affecting my fitness for rugger and soccer, particularly when I was trying to get back from an injury, and my lungs were feeling completely cut up after any form of exercise (even shagging). I really didn't find it hard this time and I've not had anything in over six months bar a couple of jays and 1/4 of a Richmond Blue at Hogmanay (I found it horrible, so left the other 3/4).

Lemonade Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 I'm three weeks into quitting, I've had a cuple of blips, both times while drinking on a Friday night, but I don't feel too bad about that as I've been completely off them the rest of the time and I've proved if I can go 7 days without a single one then I have it in me to go without. I do feel better for it.Odd side question - did this happen to anyone else?http://www.quitsmokingmessageboard.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=23387I'm fucking rotten. Every night my whole living room smells like an intestine. I've never farted so much in my life and every one is a room-clearer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Back to LinkedIn I got an approach this week through it which basically offered me my old job back (the one I was made redundant from two years ago after the company that took over the contract moved applications support to India). Nice to know offshoring the work went as well as we thought it would. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same brand as above, but a different model. Putting them to MP3 was a hassle, and it seemed so much quicker to download them, guilt free, as I'd already bought the record. Most records comes with codes nowadays too. I don't know how fussy you are about sound, but as I said previously, I find turntables with built in preamps sound pretty bad. I personally wouldn't bother with the USB ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I sell one turntable I might keep the other and get an amp/speakers then. then upgrade the turntable in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murrr Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Top advice on the turntables, ladz. I have a guitar, some pedals and a bunch of books and CDs to flog, and I'll probably spaff the profit on a turntable, amp and speakers. Hopefully looking at about £250-300.

It goes up Provost Watt drive and on to Faulds Gate, get off as soon as it turns right on to Faulds Gate and you're only 2 minutes away./INB4COOLTHINKER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
