Glad to see the son had a rational, balanced upbringing. :O

Come on people, what ARE we going to do about North Korea???

How do you solve a problem like Korea?

Auditionees for the musical?

That's a football score: Four Nun. :doh:

 

[mr malarky]

If you think that's grounds for concern, have a look at the attached video playing on Korean TV:

Hard to know whether to laugh or cry!

Think that was his dad (Kim Jong Il - lot if 'Kims' in Korea!). Apparently he also invented the hamburger!

...and the microwave, & the hologram!! 🙂

Glad you did`nt go BBB, I was worrying about who would inform us of all the latest "Hot Deals". If "Strapped" would come back, we could return to being a

"HELPFUL"

"What Hi-Fi Sound & Vision Forum". Cheers. :clap:

Makes sense, if he invented the microwave that would explain why he needed that enormous nuclear reactor! Suspect we're all missing the big story here though BB, according to that link you posted "It is also said that he wrote six operas, all of which are better then any in the history of music.”

So the real question is where can we buy these operas from, and why, oh why, have they not been viewed in the pages of What Hi-Fi???

any idea how the forum would get him back? Are we reliant on him or WHF?

Possibly not, but I expect there's a lot of Kims in his family though.

Good advice to anyone wanting to guarantee their post gets read (no matter what it's about) ...

... start the title with "Strapped For Cash".

"Strapped For Cash. What DAC should I use to connect my PC?"

"Strapped For Cash. Why does my amp hum then burst into flames?"

"Strapped For Cash. Can you recommend a vet for my stick insect?"

"Strapped For Cash. HLEP ME!! noob wit embracing qusting about LP TIT adn arm for gents. Kindly thankx"

etc.

Looks like he eats a few.

I am genuinely curious whether he goes for an F8500 or an ST60. I'm not in a position to buy since my TV is barely three months old but I am living vicariously through his F8500 anticipation thread 🙂

The F8500 does look like a lovely screen, but I genuinely don't get why some manufacturers (not just samsung, but sony as well) are going for these "width of screen" stands - if you have a standard size AV rack and can't wall mount then it's immediately a non-starter?

I use an 'off the wall' style stand, so I would be quite happy to recieve an 51F8500 😉

My money's on the GT60, and no further SFC posting on the F8500 anticipation thread (unfortunately).

My understanding is that the stand is removable.

Not a Star Wars fan then clearly? I mean, you've got to throw "Help me, Strapped For Cash, you're my only hope!" in there haven't you?

 

[Clare Newsome]

I've got a bad feeling about this....

That's right, I've never seen Star Wars.

It's actually true. I've bought Star Wars in the past (box sets for our daughters when they were kids), but never sat through more than 10 minutes or so. (Even then I was probably doing something else because I can't remember any of it.)

Should I see them? Would you recommend them?

Is it a bad thing to have never watched Star Wars? As I said, I have bought them in the past, so I have supported the franchise, even if i've never actually watched any.

I've seen star wars, i didn't think it was that good, & i don't really want to watch it again.
