I've no idea why, if I'm honest, but I quite like that.

(leak talk in this thread)
Cheers, Ping. If that's from the promo cd then it looks a lot more like the left press stream in terms of compression than the right leak in the two pictures. Others agree?

Feeling pretty much drained, getting ready for the dreaded stock take at work....I thought that now we have the new assistant manager I would not have o be involved. Strength to you, as and when you need it :)

On th second part of the BBC Woody Allen documentaries - a touch under three and a half hours over the last two nights. Actually very good indeed - I've never considered myself a fan of his but you can't help but love a lot of his work and…

It is a bit.......squished.....especially on a widescreen monitor, isn't it. I'm sure squished is a technical term, right?

Willingness is always a good thing and a great starting place! Grief, I'm such a hippy at times. If you have any software like Audacity you have to rip the CD to your PC, preferably as a WAV file then load it up and take a screen shot. Not su…

The leak has either been tempered with or they decided to go for a last minute (over)compressed sound which I find hard to believe. On your left: The waveform from the official (!) Alvar press preview. It sounds perfect in it's build-up and s…

What's The Weather Like?
I feel like I'm missing out - still not one clap of thunder or disco of lightning. I want a mad storm (for a short while!)

What`s the last film you watched ?
Just watched 'Requiem For A Dream' Boy oh boy I can watch that about once a year and it knocks me sideways every single time. Talk about getting dragged into it. It's even worse on repeat viewings as you know what's coming for t…

Mental health
Also very true and one of the most frustrating things. You'd expect that knowing and accepting this would be enough to start a pattern of positive change but these things are rarely that easy. It's a tough creature to tame.

Oh, it's on my list already - it'll get bought, I'm sure!

That's the point though, I guess - regardless of what others say (however lovely) the internal voice spouting the opposite is always that little bit louder. That's what makes it so difficult to shake off.

What`s the last film you watched ?
So Carpy... What did you think? One of the first anime/manga/whatever I've bought a blu-ray for (it was only £4.99 in HMV on Blu!) and it looked really, really gorgeous. Makes me want to re-buy all the Ghibli stuff all over again. I thought &…

What`s the last film you watched ?
The World's End Not a great film by any means apart from:- 1) Some very funny and quite creative use of constant swearing. 2) Some top, top fight scenes that are actually ridiculously well done. 3) The soundtrack 4) A Sisters Of Mercy shir…

I bought a bottle of mead, always fancied trying it, didn't like it, curiosity satisfied for a few quid. Watch out up/down here then - eveywhere flogs it in various forms. It's 'local' and therefore somehow to be cherished. Un…

I keep hearing about this 'self esteem' thing. I can only assume that whatever body-part holds this has little holes in in my case as I'm damned if I can ever keep it intact for long. Like @cervus says, that can do more damage than …

Dreeke. Do you have that picture of me in conversation with Angie? Even if I'm not up close and personal, like you, it's something to cherish. It'll help me get over the back to work blues. I've got it on my PC at home - will …
