Pet Hates?
Flamin' hand dryers that deafen everyone within a thirty mile radius.
WE have some new ones - they are so loud it sounds like a Lightning taking off - in fact just the other day I was wondering how that is legal in the workplace without hearing protection being issued? I use the paper towels meself. I notice quite a few other people don't bother to wash their hands at all so I guess not a major issue for them...
Current Lash Up:
TEAC VRDS 701T > Sony TAE1000ESD > Krell KSA50S > JM Labs Focal Electra 926.
I just cleaned out and sorted our kitchen cutlery draw. Why in gods name does so much unrelated junk end up in there?
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

People with tongues down each others throats in public I might just hold our lasses hand in public on occasion, but i have to be in a really good mood at the time to do so
I'll tell you what I'm utterly fed up with and that's the Santander advertising featuring various sporting celebs. It is so painfully devoid of any creativity and utterly patronising to us all. If you are lucky enough to be able to pay huge sums of money to such people, for God's sake do something interesting with the advertising!
