Oh dear...

No - thankfully.

 

I had to google to see what one of those was.

I have a Walkman but rarely use it. Apart from some of Windy's songs
I've never downloaded a MP3 file to my PC. I've pondered getting an IPod
thing but I doubt I'd use it. I think I just like listening to music in
my house on a half reasonable stereo. Call me odd.

 

Good software. Combined with the barcode scanner discussed elsewhere
in this thread it would be *awesome* and quick.

This is always the problem.

TBH I'd consider a few days sorting through a roomful of books to be a
blissful holiday, atm.

I have an Access template you can have if you want.

 

You're not odd. You're very similar to me.

I have an iPod but I doubt it'll get much use. Probably just for long
plane journeys.

 

I agree on the stereo front, but I've found this means I get even more
use out of all the records I've got. No more spending time choosing
what to put in a bag to listen to at work or on a trip, just take the
lot. Call it getting value for money from my music.

At home, I just plug it into my hi-fi and it saves me putting a disc
in the machine. Put it on random and it's like having a radio station
that only ever plays music you like.

I don't have all the fidleybits tho.

 

I'm absolutely shocked at how difficult mine are to bribe. At their age
I'd have done anything for a couple of quid. Even allowing for
inflation to motivate them to do stuff would cost me way too much.

 

I use mine most days; bike commute to work (1 hour each way), plane
flights, when I need to concentrate and cut out the office noise.

 

I have visions of you standing at the living room door, with your kids
laying around on sofas watching telly, and you pleading: "come and
hold the extinguisher while I experiment with this microwave and
bucket of petrol... come on, there's a fiver in it for you".

 

I've got a load of I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue MP3s if you'd like them.

Warning: you may get funny looks from other passengers when you snort
with laughter.

 

Reading Fear and Loathing has that affect on me.

How can I get them from you?

 

It's more like... "Can you *please* clean your landing, stairs and
Bedrooms?"

Basically they have to do about five tasks a week- emptying the
dishwasher= one task, cleaning their bedroom=one task etc. If they do
the five tasks a week they get a tenner, if they don't well.. they
probably get a tenner anyway because I'm soft.

Hmm... there's the problem.

 

I'll burn them on CDs and post them if you like. 2GB is a bit much to
email, isn't it?

 

Thanks.

I think I've your email address somewhere...
