Does it have an optical connection Mike, somebody asks? Only phono replies Mike. How old hat, hasn't even got hdmi. Load of very old crap.

Think its designed to go with a PC monitor, hence the aux in and bluetooth option.

Plenty of options with HDMI, which as you know TVs, DVD players, etc use.

We have a Sonos Beam, and their sub woofer. Great pieces of kit.

I have a Yamaha YAS-209. Not a Yannis-209. The latter never lies to you, but doesn’t work properly.

The Duchump Raidillion only came on because "Trevor from the Cotswolds" texted in and asked Ofthemason if he had any watches

"We'll need to be quick because they will sell out"

Good - we won't see them again.

Now, "the price will have to go up at 9pm".

Ok, look forward to Dirty Peter saying, "this is 2000 pound of watch that was 469 pound, now a price to clear at 569 pound."

Mind you, I wouldn't rule anything out with these charlatans

Herself this morning. Always amuses why she feels she is some sort of Saturday Banana Oddie esque or Big Breakfast presenter - leading her ‘Crew’. Who gives a flying fu…which spotty oik is ‘working’ behind the scenes at dodgy camera angles, texts and price comparisons. Just get on with it and present the goods. It’s not Saturday Night Live, Luv… Though, on a rare positive note, that model, Linda, has a lovely, professional manner and a silky smooth voice. A role swop with Herself would do us all a huge benefit.

Maybe steal Marina away from TJC and its shame IW couldn't keep Simona.

Uh oh, Peter Volumizer is steaming away some gravy browning.

A watch show with Peter and Hammy would be funny

As Peter would say these are Heirlooms, Hammy would say yeah ready for the Skip maybe

maybe they could be Febreze branded Air-looms™ combing top notes of BS

But if you leave them in a downstairs lavvy, someone will use them as a deodorant.

Can I stand all his ghastly repetitive anecdotes. Like listening to the landlord of your local thinking they’re telling all their old and unfunny jokes as new each night. That combined with dull, low rent and generally unappealing crud, poorly Paul Priced…Whatever did happen to the ex-Ideal World him? No…Time for a four pack of Long Life, a Vesta curry, a Birds Eye Trifle Mousse, a box of Weekend, some reruns of Game for a Laugh…and a scan through this week’s Titbits.View attachment 30172View attachment 30172

If you find any tins or bottles of Courage Light Ale, or similar, and NOT pale or IPA, give me a tinkle on your Amstrad emailer.

How many jobs has Mason had? - SellyTV presenter, sparks, sound engineer (cos he feels sound he does).

Soundbar time. Xenta with 20watts RMS.

£80 clearance....

£39 for 60 watts RMS - https://www.bmstores.co.uk/products/goodmans-led-bluetooth-soundbar-60w-386555

£39 for 50 watt RMS - https://www.argos.co.uk/product/1246038

Am I going mad or wasn't the Xenta soundbar launched at £39.99 with MM Man of Sound when we discussed it at the time? Now being flogged for £79?!

Don't remember him/them saying it was a special launch price.

Maybe, dare I say it, they actually did get the price wrong before?

"It has been confirmed by a Swiss news site (SRF – Swiss Radio and Television), that the TX07 is indeed produced by BCP Tourbillons SA. A translated excerpt from the article reads as follows:

“We rarely have a customer who attracts so much attention. For us, it’s a normal order,” says Olivier Mory, founder of BCP Tourbillons. Mory’s watch movements cost between 2,200 and 5,500 francs. Gold and diamonds are also included. In the end, the watch is offered for 100,000 dollars.
The request to the Swiss watch company came anonymously, but it still sparked internal discussions. “Our work is watchmaking, it’s not so much about political engagement. It’s a standard watch movement, like all our customers,” says Mory of BCP Tourbillons."

Loved the strawberry mousse. Used to get own brand from supermarkets 10 for 99p. Always ate them frozen though.
