    Default Cassette decks and belt rot!

    A neighbour wanted to extract the audio from a cassette that he has, I said to him "give it to me, I'll do it"

    That was last night, tried a Philips cassette deck, no drive, belt rotted. Next a JVC KD-21D, next a JVC KD-10, same problem, next a Pioneer CT-200, same problem, next a Tandberg TCD300, success, working!

    Brain rot too, yesterday I opened a pack of Aldi Cheesy Singles, used two and now all I can find in the fridge is the empty packet. Where the other 13 slices have gone is a complete mystery, can't find them anywhere!

    You kept the wrapper and binned the cheese? I do things like that occasionally.

    I think the latter suggestion, the two feral cats don't get cheese, although the late Tiddles loved cheese.

    I had thought of this, but didn't feel like going through the rubbish, but I might check.

    Perhaps a spare is available at a reasonable price on ebay. Just looked through the rubbish, no 13 cheese slices!
